From Stratford to Dick and Doms

Yesterday morning I took a bus to Stratford with Kirstin and Kathy where we explored the birthplace of William Shakespeare (or W.S. as he likes to be called by his homies), and the houses of his various relatives. Unfortunately his line has completed died out, no direct decendents exist. A shame really. We need more W.S. DNA don't you think?

After hanging out there, we took a train through Birmingham to London, and then to Cambridge. Arrived quite late to a KUI. Kevin under...

Today we'll probably "punt" around, whatever that means. I've been enjoying watching "Dick and Doms" on the Telly this morning though. That show is seriously pure comedy gold. The best part had to be where they were having a crying contest. Whoever can cry tears first wins. To help get the right crying atmosphere, they started playing some sad orchestral music. Then they brought out a little kid who looked all sad walking with his Grandma. She looked REALLY happy, and was licking a big scoop of vanilla icecream in the cone. I guess the kid was sad because she took it from him? Well anyway then she DROPPED the icecream and then she and the kid looked all sad. THEN a little dog came up and started eating the icecream and they looked even more sad. Then to top it all off, a pitifully sad looking man starts walking on stage with a big hamster cage. Sticking out of the top of the cage is a piece of paper that says "My only friend". The camera zooms in and... in the cage is a big rat, but its dead. hAHAHhahaa HIS ONLY FRIEND IS DEAD... man I was cracking up.

Why don't we have shows like that here!?
