TO NARNIA!!!


. . . Well, Germany, but you get my drift.

The time has come, dear friends, for a parting of ways. Possibly quite a long one. In fact, at this moment, I'm probably shunting the last of my luggage into our much-abused Ford, ready for the cross-Channel odyssey that takes place on the morrow.

Though Germans are famed for their efficiency, establishing internet connection in a household infested with half-unpacked boxes, semi-assembled furniture and four clueless Brits who speak few words of German beyond "bratwurst" may be something of a challenge even for them.

However, fear not. Look for me in the west, upon the morn of September the 4th. Then, I can almost guarantee save for the event of some earth-shattering disaster, I shall return with a large army . . . of posts, unfortunately, not men on horseback with large spears and silly helmets. They all ran off to join Jack Sparrow's crew last month (apparently he has a better dental plan or something).

Fare ye well, you lovely people. I shall miss dropping by to see you and your awesomeness, but I'm looking forward to catching up with you all sometime in the future. I've got some lovely things planned to post about, and I very much hope you'll enjoy them.

Until then . . .

    1. Hehe, I did - though Germany is full of some surprisingly weird things. Hope you enjoyed you break too!

  2. *inserts sound clip of himself laughing* That thing about the helmets... And the dental plan... Absolutely brilliant. Though if Sparrow had a dental plan, wouldn't he use it himself?

    Fare thee well, my good Charley. I'll miss you for whatever amount of time you won't be around. Have fun in Germany. Just... don't write the posts in German when you come back, all right? We're as clueless as you are. (The statement that you are clueless is not, in fact, based on assumption, but on scientific fact; don't prove it again by protesting.) Charley, au revoir! My gopher, adieu for ever! I hope!

    1. What A pirate with good teeth? that's a sure way to lose his Pirate Credentials. *grins*

    2. Indeed, 'tis. Those things are hard to come by, and they're mighty strict about their Pirate Code. It took me five years of not brushing my teeth before I could obtain my Credentials, and I've been warned twice about bathing more than thrice a year.

    3. I dunno, I wasn't really listening when they gave their reasons for leaving - they weren't terribly distinctive as they were being attacked by my more loyal minions at the time, mwue he he he he he! But I'm pretty sure Sparrow lied about the dental plan. He lies about most things, after all.

      Also, your goodbye to me triggered a nasty lurch in my chest . . . curse you. May Cardinal Richelieu bite your nose off and feed it to his sentient ink pots, Liam!

    4. Indeed... Perhaps it was just better health insurance.

      I picked that farewell specifically for you. Get over it.

  3. I'll miss you! And your posts! And your funniness! (goodness, is that even a word?!) Can't WAIT till you get back, eh. Enjoy your adventure, and Germany, and all those half-unpacked boxes. !! :]

    1. Haha, if funniness was not a word then, it surely is now! Thank you :)

  4. Well I shall miss you and a few of my characrters are already lamenting.... I suspect you can figure out at least one of the two. *eyerolls at one and comforts to the other*

    Good luck and hopefully you're Greman improves, even if you don't post to us in it (and please, don't).

    I shall miss your comments on my blog, but expect to be inundated with them when you find the hours needed to reconnect with the internet world.

    Plus I need an address to send goodies to. *grins*

    1. LOL, I couldn't post in German if my life depended on it. My Spanish is bad enough and I've been studying that for four years xD

      Heehee, I will send you the address as soon as I know it. As for commenting . . . my mission begins soon :)

  5. Snehehehe, it wasn't Sparrow, it was me. I just did it in his name to avoid arousing your suspicions so that you'd be totally unaware when I came to take over the world!

    Damn, I just gave it away...
