They Are Not Toys
Today is the Englishman's birthday. He considers it extremely rude to ignore this. Mr. Jon Rosenberg is right over there signing toy satanic chickens! On Friday night
To get to Boston from here you have to go through Worcester. For some reason people in Massachussets don't know how to pronounce "Worcester" right, they say it like "Wis-tah." People from Massachussetts have problems.

Wow, that's weird. I live in Worcester. In England. You Americans copy everything.
Incidentally, it would be pretty brilliant to go with P's idea...
The mangled pronunciation (I use the term loosely) of "Gloucester" is even worse. Wis-tah may be bad, but Glaw-stah just sounds gross.
Hey Jeffery is the Englishman in Mass with you? Because tomorrow is my birthday but my friends and I are having a huge party tonight. We're just a short ways away in lil Rhode Island, and we'd be glad to have you and the gang over. If you're interested, email me for the details. Oh and there will be lotsa beer.
Thanks for the invite Sketchfervor! But it is a little short notice. Let me know a couple days in advance next time, we like to go to parties!
Holy crap, ugliest animal ever!
You say ugly, I say endearing.
I lived in Worcester for four years. If I'd spent my time pronouncing all of the letters that are in it, I'd never have gotten anything done.
Sure, Worcester is bad, but trying saying Puyallup. Or Sequim.
haha ok next time we'll let you know. We art school kids know how to throw a good one.
When I was a kid, my mother had a friend who couldn't pronounce the letter "R". I once commented to my mom how unfortunate it was for a grown woman to have such a speech impediment. My mom explained to me that the lady didn't have a speech impediment; she was from Boston.
The bald lemur is adorable. I want one.
I think they prefer "hair imparied lemurs."
Winston makes me want to pee my pants. It would not be so bad if he was not just GLARING INTO MY SOUL.
Exactly why I moved the hell away from Massachusetts.
Thanks for making cute little demented animal friends Jeffrey.
don't forget to get ah cup of da dunkies, honk like you are going straight to hell, add and substract r's like nobodies bizness and swerve alot.
but what the hell do I really know, I'm just from Michigan.
That's no bald Lemur, that's an Aye-aye. Poor wee buggers hunted to the brink of extinction because of a superstition that they're evil & a symbol of death.
we don't have problems, aside from the funny talking. woostah fa-evah.
Dear Mr. Rowland,
I did not see you at the show last night.

P.S. What do you look like? I could not see anybody that looked like a cartoon.
That is the ugliest animal I have ever seen! Followed closely by the naked mole rat.
IT'S REAL!?!?!?!?
I spotted a LNMAC member at the Decemberists concert saturday night!
I feel honourable mention has to go to the town of "Bistah" in the south of my country. We write it "Bicester", which is clearly just the wrong number of syllables.
Man, that bald lemur looks like he should be screaming "1.21 JIGGAWATTS!? GREAT SCOTT!"
