Getting Shit Mixed Up...

For some reason, I'm always thinking Timbuktu is in Asia. It's not. It's in Mali in Africa. I think I get it mixed up with Kathmandu, which IS in Asia. They both end with an "oo" sound and have three syllables.

This happens almost daily.

I know what you mean. I thought Kalamazoo was in Asia for the longest time. Maybe it should be.

Just remember, Chris: Hope and Crosby went to Timbuktu; Bob Segar was going to Kathmandu…

By the way, getkristilove totally stole my joke!

On my first quick read, I thought you wrote "it's a Mall in Africa."

Fortunately your shit was not that mixed up.

This happens almost daily? Why are you thinking about Timbuktu daily?

Why, I haven't thought about it in approximately, oh, I don't know, three years? ...

You do know that it's Istanbul, not Constantinople?

Kristi- It definitely should be.

Frank- Thanks for the helpful memory aid.

Geoff- Wasn't it DiIulio who thought that Florence was a store like Arcadia?

B.O.- That is one evil sounding laugh, dude.

Zed- I'm thinking on all sorts of different planes.

Lulu- Yeah. Hell, even old New York was once New Amsterdam...
