4 DAYS IN LONDON W/ THE JUDSON GIRLS:

Funny stuff that happened / was said:

~Stacy: "Ahoy Matees!" - uhh Stace? we're not crewmen on a fricken ship...

~Stacy: (Running for her life - ducking - holding her arm in front of her face as if being attacked by wild bees) "Oh Man, GOD DAMN PIGEONS!" - uhh Stace? they're just birds...

~Ja: (Referring to condiment packets on a table at breakfast) "Is it called RED SAUCE and BLUE SAUCE?"
Stephanie: "No Ja, KETCHUP and MAYO."

~Stephanie had just pointed out a sign that said "Victoria Line" as 'Victoria' is the name of someone special to her... on top of "Victoria Line" it said "Bakerloo Line"...
Yoko: "Now all I need is a boyfriend named BAKERLOO."

~Man eats hot dog off street (after it fell on the dirty dirty sidewalk).

• Stephanie falls on her face in Piccadilly. Frantically looking both ways for oncoming traffic - gets her DAMN SELF up as her faithful friends who stick by her thick and thin just watched from a great distance... there's still blood stains on the street...
  
• Random Londonite: "Don't worry, no one saw you fall except me and everyone in Piccadilly."
  Stephanie: (in her head) BUGGAR OFF!
  
• London Brewha: (Apparently she thought we stole her cab) "IT'LL COME BACK TO YOU! (Pointing fingers at us in a hexing manner as we hop / limp into the cab)
  
• Stephanie: (in the cab) "It hurts - It hurts - Take a picture"

~IT CAME BACK TO US...

• Stacy lost her wallet.
  
• Stacy lost her underground pass one day.
  
• Stephanie forgot her underground pass.
  
• Ja slipped and fell on steps of underground.
  
• Ja's underground pass wouldn't work.
  
• Neither would Yoko's.
  
• Stephanie burned a MICROSCOPIC hole in Stacy's Lacoste trainers.
  
• Shady cab driver diva overcharged us for that one cab ride and most likely made off w/ Stacy's wallet.
  
• Fricken cut throat tourists stole the bag Ja saw first in Portabello Market and the vendor didn't have any more left.
  
• Stacy locked the keys in a running vehicle which was to be used to transport her mattress. - dammit Stace...
  
• ..and finally... "TOO MANY PEOPLE." - no one's gonna get it - but it was funny...
