This is my OTHER plan...



You know that old saying,"The best laid plans of mice and men,ofttimes go straight down the shitter?"..Sure you do..This is especially relevant to me for a couple of reasons.Those are,in alphabetical order;

A) Mice have PLANS???...Okay,..that's just way too creepy for me to contemplate...and,

B)Due to circumstances beyond our control,and I hasten to add,totally NOT my fault,we won't be going to the Grand Canyon.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??..

Yes Virginia,there may very well be a Santa Claus,but a trip to the world's biggest crack ain't happenin'...But that's okay...Really.
There are several other things we tossed around,and there is still much fun to be had during our week long sabbatical.I'm pretty sure prodigious amounts of sloth and alcohol will be involved..And photographs.

As far as my lifelong quest to see the Grand Canyon goes,I've hit upon an alternate solution.


I'll simply wait..

Given the awesome power of the mighty Colorado River,and the relentless forces driving Continental drift,sooner or later the Grand Canyon will come to me!...I'm outta here.


EDIT:...and so it begins!

Oh, that is really sad...I was checking to see if you did a see you later post....maybe you could go camping locally, or fishing, or to a strip bar? All of those are close to seeing the Grand Canyon. You could draw a picture of the Grand Canyon...that might make you feel better....maybe, it could you know!

Awwwww rats! The first words - er, sounds - out of my mouth upon reading "we won't be going to the Grand Canyon" were "ooouuuhhhhhh, that sucks!" That totally sucks, and while slothfulness and drinking may help ease the pain, they are a poor substitute for a road trip to the GC. Of course, I'm only speaking as one who has never seen the great crack (GC), but who imagines it to be truly amazing and magical. I feel your pain, Sling. Really.

You definitely have a way with words.

Looking into a canyon makes me die a little with each passing second because I am bound to fall.

The world's biggest crack is a toss-up between Rush Limbaugh's ass and Mann Coulter's entire being.

Don't do crack.


(I think that you are very wise. It is a goal and you shall achieve it in the fullness of time. Meanwhile, Mice have PLANS??????????)

Well I'm sorry. That's a bummer. It is an awesome crack.

But maybe you're onto something: collecting Nature's masterworks! Just imagine... after the Grand Canyon arrives at your door, Mt. Rushmore will follow, then Yellowstone (the BEST). Eventually the Sphinx and the Leaning Tower of Pisa!! Of course, then the whole world will beat a path to your door, which, come to think of it, might be worse than not going to the Grand Canyon in the first place...

Sorry your plans have gone belly-up.

you better see that canyon soon. there's a rumor that a certain ex president of haliburton is going to expropriate it and store his money in it.

he's been dipping into the money river all his life.

The Grand Canyon just released its touring schedule. It's not coming near the west coast this year. You'll have to wait until next year.

Hi kids!

The Lizzard King and I have switched gears,and come up with a new destination that should be a buttload of grins and giggles,and satisfy the need to get the hell outta O-Town for a few days.I'll post more about that later.Not tryin' to be coy,but I'd really hate to have to post another "Nevermind" type lame excuse later. :)
Today is the first day of my vacation,(LK works today,and then begins his),so my goal is to get around to all of Bloggertown and see if I can't stir up some shit on my blogroll...Have a great weekend!..:)
