Day 3: Polar Bear Borscht
So BBFK goes off to have some beauty treatment for her sister's wedding (like she really needs it) and her dad takes me and baby BFK to Seneca Park Zoo; yeah. yeah I know, keeping the kids entertained huh? :p
It was good fun, trying to stay cool in the blistering heat and supping iced tea for the first time... Noel turned into a Polar Bear, then tried to chase a butterfly away that landed on my finger, whilst a crowd of random spectators gathered round to attend Lever's "Doolittle" technique (so that's how you wowed BBFK huh?) then we met a stuffed Polar Bear (in the enclosure next to the seals...?), after which we had success in Finding Nemo before heading back to the picnic area where Baby BFK spent most of the time chasing Sparrows...
Later on BBFK took me down to Wegmans for some o' that USA shopping experience... we could buy beer, alcopops and tonic water but not wine or gin??? So we ambled off for a random conversation with some lady about Kool Aid, and ended up having more random chats with the checkout staff and some guy that was behind us in the queue... Why does that always happen when the Lever & BBFK sphere of influence is on a roll...?
The evening's entertainment kicked off with dinner at a Ukranian restaurant... Very nice indeed; I could definitely survive on a diet of Borscht & Perogies (my thanks once again to the Bumblefucks) before we shot off to Rochester Airport to pick up more Bumblefucks, then hit the town to hook up with some more of the family and their friends...
Ultimately I was so shattered I fell asleep in the car by the time we came home (about 3 in the morning)... what a busy old day...

USA Note #6: Why do so many American bartenders try so damn hard to be cool all the time? The chimp at our bar dropped all my change on the floor AND spilled drinks!
USA Note #7: Why must American uniformed cops hang around bars at "kicking out time" doing Hollywood poses? They looked more like the frigging Village People!
USA Note #8: Why does BBFK have a book on Pre-calculus in the trunk of her car? Must I try match her intellectual skills by casually dropping a tome of Hypertext PreProcessor in the boot of my station wagon?

zoos, i should find to be a bit inhumane, but i'll go see them. i do like the animals. and chasing birds ... (i was a cat in another life ... and a six year old in this one ...) ... let's see ... i hate random chats, for the most part ... because in real life i'm quiet and terribly shy ... Ukranian food? interesting ... ghetto chinese buffet's is as exotic as it gets 'round here ... she has a pre-cal book because she's a genius. pure genius.

Rebekah: Zoos, yeah, I know what you mean, but we still go them anyways :S
A cat in a past life? That's funky... I think I was a beer glass...
Random chats are just awesome, I used to be quite shy but at some stage in my life realised why should I be? So I thrive on sparking chats with real life random people, you can get the most bizarre conversations...
A checkout girl the other day was swapping stories with me about visits to the US, turns out she was adopted by an American lady and lived in NY and MaryLand for most of her life, though she has a very English accent...

a beer glass? that's interesting ... were you one of those big 40 oz ones? i'll bet you were ... i like to listen to people's conversations ... it's just that when i get involved it's a lot of "um" and "uh" and staring at my feet ... i'll get over it someday, i promise ...

Rebekah: Um, 40 oz... I dunno, that's an Americanism... a oint glass maybe, but hten there's a big 3 pint glass in my cupboard which I've never used... Hmmm...
Yeah, earwigging is fun. You'll be OK, I'm sure of it :)

Sheesh Lever, you were kinda baptised into the BBFK clan werent ya.Was it a bit like the freak show at a circus?
'roll up roll up, whats behind this curtain will amaze. come see the wonder from another continent. He looks like you and me, but he sounds like Dick Van Dyke'
Im particularly impressed with the dolittle technique, did it happen naturally or did you glue it into place to look cool and impress?
The whole cops and the village people thing is somthing they need to change. It must get awfully embaressing, just ask George Michael

Keeefer: LOL, you calling me a curiosity, dude? :p
Doolittle just happened, I also have cat-charming skills too ;)
Seriously, these cops were hanging around posing... I'm just surprised there weren't any doughnuts involved... it was so comical...

I can't *believe* you didn't even take the opportunity to expose another fine example of my pristine table manners...remember that doomed crystal glass that was perched percariously at my elbow?

My BBFK: LOL, well, there was lots going on, or rather going off... the side of the table that is... *laughter* Glad you wer there to pick up up for me; you know I pick up for you *wink*
Me, shy? Well, you certainly brought me out, sweetheart *big kiss* :)

P.S. What's up with that *genius* stuff and my fam. being a circus? *laughing....* The truth is really less extreme than either of those....
