Wait... Llanfairpwllgwyngyll is a real place???? I figured @tj_PE was just being funny and mashing the keyboard.

I can tell you from personal experience that north Wales is very much full of towns like this. 

I visited in 2004 and we got lost on some back country B roads. This was before GPS and cell phones. We only had a high level map to figure things out. Academically I knew that Welsh was spoken in Wales but I thought it was always alongside English. What I didn't realize was that the signage is exclusively Welsh in north Wales! It was a real bitch trying to navigate when every town is "Ll" followed by a long string of random "ll", "g", "w", and "y", with occasional "f", "n",  and "a" thrown in. 

Ohh, that reminds me, y'know how in the US our highways all cardinal directions specified at the junctions so you know which direction you are going? Well it's not like that in the UK. You have to know local geography and town names to know if you are going N, S, E, and W.

It was frustrating at the time but now its a funny story to tell.

Except where I live the E-W exits are on a road that runs N-S (only in my region), so the first time I took the interstate, I went the wrong way, thinking I wanted to go towards Chicago, when in reality, I didn't want to go towards Chicago.  I figured it out when I didn't go over a river right away like I was supposed to.

How do I know if the mafia targeting me was related to my vote yesterday?!??

How do I know if the doctor saving me was related to my vote yesterday?!??

What if it's all just random!?!???

I can't deal with all this attention!

@Roarbark you maf?

I am not. Thank you for asking

Go right ahead, I am part of the millennial generation, unfortunately. I would agree that most of them act like kids.

I'm insulted! Insulted I tell you! I aspire to act more like a kid than I already do.
Eh, every generation has got its puddingheads though (Members of other generations can confirm or deny this theory.)

By god, so it is. Why are we going there?... For the pastries, so far? For the town name photo op?

dude it was an emergency landing do you not remember jumping out of a plane?

I..... had blocked out that memory... thank you for re-triggering my newly developed mafia-plane-crash PTSD.
Just as I thought, we're here for the pastries! Nice, fluffy pastries.

@tj_PE, I'm going to vote for @blybrook PE again, just in case I was onto something and that's why my parachute was tampered with.

I didn't sign up to be an EB tour guide.  I signed up for pastries and art and music and polo games!

@tj_PE it is class night, so in case I am enthralled with that at the buzzer, I'm going to join the dogpile on @blybrook PE.  Sorry Bly if you are townie.  I got nuthin other than a Dr save to go on right now.

 

[blybrook PE]

Eh, in glad the doc saved Jean! But I'm getting piled on. I'm not the one who distributed the parachutes!

@tj_PE, I'm voting for @jean15paul_PE in retaliation!
