Road Trips!

[OceanEyes28]

HAY. You bored? Talk about this topic.

This August, I am road tripping with che and Rocky. Cross country. To California. Mel's gonna hang with us when we get there. It's going to be a wave of spicy ****ing sex appeal sweeping the nation.

Anyway. Two things now.

1. You wanna give us ideas for road trip games in order to pass the time driving because we don't want to have one single goddamn real conversation because that's some ridiculous sexual tension, dawg? (between che and Rocky, I mean)

2. Have you ever wanted to do an epic (LoTR epic) road trip? Where to? How long? DTF?


Kay go.

RE Edit:

1: Last time I went on a week+ long road trip, we didn't play any games. We had stuff to make the drive interesting. Just play I SPY or something corny. Bring your PSP!

2: Road Trip to Japan.

The idea that an epic road trip brings to mind would be the obsessive need to LARP across the country with a Vivicam or similar camera, having the need to get shock value and looks out of the locals as you pass by, honking the horn, throwing clothed nerf balls and wooden weapons at each other, in questionable manga/anime/video game outfit get ups, using mead or rice wine as the only wash during the road trip or some other type of wood sleeping booze used in past time war fare, throwing soda balloons at the Snake Dance Churches, taking short cuts through the desert wrecking unprepared tires and the engine, watching Che and Rocky give in under the hot sun like in the Domino movie- going door to door in small midwestern towns without any kind of papers, asking questions about bounties you have no EXP to handle or even think about, just to end up with Che having a bullet wound in the shoulder as Rocky puts a bandage over a dug out head shot, then jump back into a car just to race against time with no headlights and a crappy map, smearing dirt over the get up, butchering each other's hair in a pit of drunken rage, go The Hills Have Eyes down the interstate, play the stage when you run out of money before you even get to the west coast, skip out like the Blues Brothers, jump back into the car, out run every dumb@$$ redneck headed your way- only to find that once you finally make it past all of the desert hippies and unmarked sand graves, you get to knocking and sighing at Mel's front door, and as she opens she gasps,
'What the balls'?

umm anywho, yeah I got nothing. But I always wanted to go on a roadtrip, and this will be my first one and I'm way pumped for it!

[Taco-Calamitous]

Here is the best game ever:

Also, madlibs. Or one word stories. Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

[Tallulah]

I want to go on a road trip, now. Now I can drive (I just passed like 45 minutes ago ), all I need is a car...

First place would probably be Skegness, which is a seaside town about an hour's drive east of here.

[nix]

auh i wanna go

Damn you Atlantic!

[Unknown Entity]

Ally could bring her guitar and sing for che and Rocky. If there's space of course. You could also play something on your guitar, and che and Rocky would have to guess what song you're playing.

There's I Spy. Never fails. Then there's "Never have I ever...", but that involves alcohol, so you might want to put something else in it's place for safety. Like water, or even jelly beans (I've played with Skittles once - was fun). Save the alcohol one for night time.

As for me. Yeah, I've wanted to road trip. But I can't drive, and not many of my friends can drive. It'd have to be a family thing, which is still cool, but I'd want to do one with friends. Push me out of my comfort bubble a little more, ya know? But yeah... I'd love to road trip on a good Harley one day. Somewhere in America would be nice, as you do have some really lovely and expansive landscapes. Deserts and forests and savannahs...

Going by Shaycarl's videos on Youtube, I'd love to explore the North and West areas of America. Everything within a 500 mile radius of Salt City, Utah.

I'd also love to do Route 66 with friends. Miles and miles of nothing but beautiful scenery and photo opportunities.

As for in England, which'll have to do for now... eh. Why do I bother. Nothing really here that I want to see. =/

Do the whole thing naked.

2. Have you ever wanted to do an epic (LoTR epic) road trip? Where to? How long?

That depends ... do you consider a "road trip" the actual process of stopping and sightseeing with friends and such, or just driving a long ways?

While I haven't done much for the actual "fun road trip" kind of thing since I was a kid, I am fond of long drives. At least once a year, I'll drive from the middle of Wisconsin to Alabama with a stop in Illinois -- this next one will include another stop or two in IL and probably a trip out to Pennsylvania through Ohio as well.

I usually just drive to get places, though -- it's a little more than a 900-mile trek from my place to my dad's place in Alabama, and I'll get it done in fourteen hours. That's about a 65mph average, including stops. I'll stop to get fuel when I need it, and do my business and get something to eat while I'm stopped, so I don't have to stop again until I need fuel.

But sometimes I'll decide to take longer and see the sights. Historical markers, lookouts (especially across the Appalachians), little museums or classic car collections, stuff like that. I think it's Kentucky that has "Patty's 1880's Settlement" or something, I'd like to stop in and go through that someday.

Side-note: If anybody ever ends up going by Metropolis, Illinois, on I24 near the Kentucky border, and considers seeing the giant Superman statue (and museum, etc. etc.) there ... don't. You'll just waste half an hour of your life driving to see a 15-foot statue. Really, the Superman on the billboards and the water tower near it is bigger than the Superman in the town. Stop by Fort Massac instead, unless you're a huge supergeek.

DTF?

Yes ma'am?

Stop in Washington along the way and steal the Hope Diamond from the Smithsonian. It would make it easier for me to steal if it weren't in a highly secured museum. I suggest stealing some other valuables, too.

2. Have you ever wanted to do an epic (LoTR epic) road trip? Where to? How long?

If there's one thing I've learned from American history, it's to never go on road trips, because most likely, you'll run into a violent tribe of natives who will kill and scalp you, and then steal your guns and horses.

However, I don't think the native's pansy bows and arrows will be able to reach a hot air balloon. I wouldn't mind taking a trip to Los Angeles in a hot air balloon. Only for a weekend, though. It probably wouldn't take too long to mug Kim Kardashian for her 20.5 carat engagement ring.

[Tallulah]

Route 66 would be epic! Much better than Skegness. -_-

[OceanEyes28]

Hahaha. Well, Entity, I actually am planning on bringing my guitar (and a small sound system) with me. My plan right now is to play at a few of our stops. Coffee shops and the like. I figure playing in a strange town is way easier if I've got friends coming along.

And yeah, Sasquatch, I've had many a long drive... which I do sort of enjoy. My drives from Arkansas to Georgia would be like what you described. I'd stop to get gas, pee, get trail mix, keep driving. But I've also taken a couple trips out west where we stop in Colorado for a couple nights, and then go to Jackson Hole, WY for a few, and then up into Yellowstone... I enjoy lingering in and around the Rockies. Something more along those lines is what we have planned for August.

nix, if you start swimming/walking now, you could meet us there.

Recreate this:



[i.e. listen to a whole lot of reggae. That's the only way to road trip.]

[RagnaToad]

Make sure you take pictures of yourselves at the places you visit or scenery you encounter. The photo's you'll look at the most afterwards are the ones you're in.

Guitar is definitely a good idea.

If plane tickets across the Atlantic weren't expensive as ****, I'd invite myself to join you mofos on your own Easy Rider trip.



Also: You're worrying about road games, but have you found a way to control Che's hormones?

[Alpha]

Actually, Rags is on to something here.

May I recommend something along the lines of this:

[OceanEyes28]

He asked Andrew and me if we were gonna be sleeping naked. I think you're right to worry.


I wish you livin-in-other-countries mother****ers could come with us. <3


We're thinking of starting a group TFF journal... and uploading YouTube videos. The video thing will definitely happen, and I will definitely link you guys.

[che]

You guys make me out to be some sort of rapist! Not cool! Che's just want to have fun, ok?

[Rocky]

It's all good, at least che hasn't asked me to go camping with him yet
