EDINBURGH -- So I check in from an internet cafe Scotland, and see that my co-blogger has been grossly negligent in updating Cole Slaw Blog.
I'm pleased to announce that, by unanimous consent, CSB commentor Evil Girl will be guest blogging from Washington, D.C.
My trip is progressing just fine. London is like a major East Coast city, only a lot of dudes wear suits and ties, and people like sending text messages. I despise these two things.
Otherwise, I'm enjoying the British obsession with animals, especially squirrels. This is a highly anthropomorphic country. I watched an old man conversing with a squirrel in a tree and showering it with compliments; another old man feeding a squirrel by hand and calling it "my lovely"; and today saw a group of Scottish schoolchildren on a field trip go berzerk when they saw a squirrel in a tree.

edinburgh is awesome. just off the royal mile, there's a bar on a streetcorner featuring an external mural that tells the story of some guy's execution. of course, i cannot remember the name of the bar or the name of the guy, but if you see it, you'll know.
perhaps it's not so much a country enamored with animals, as it is a case of poor eyesite and a lust for furry women with bad teeth.
Cut flop a break. He's busy having heart attacks watching the Indians play baseball.
i believe winston is referring to the deacon brodie pub ... brodie supposedly inspired robert louis stevenson to write "dr. jekyll and mr. hyde."
also, on the castle audiotour, there is a story about a dude who was happily married "until his impetuousnesss led him to invade Northumberland." so sad when a marriage ends like that.
thanks, beast. this is why i married you. if your impetuousness ever leads you to ditch me to invade northumberland, i'll kick your ass.
