They're clowns, LOL.

Hey thanks LOL, I kind of knew you were not- but maybe you should have been, who knows?..no matter - When I do return and write my trip report - I'm pretty wordy as you can see - you can comment(and perhaps reveal yourself)

I do know for a fact that the wonderful, (and I mean all) KENYA tour operators I contacted were warm, friendly, accommodating and at times very funny. Unfortunately only one can do the deal and I hated having to chose.

On the other hand, I give all names out to others who ask in the event they would like to have such a pleasant experience (well maybe ONE exception, but I am hoping it was just a slip of the tongue and I happened to find out)planning a trip to Kenya.

I will gladly submit my plans and how they came to be when all the i's are dotted!
Again, between this forum and the great TO's who obviously love their country and enjoy planning and logistics, I was able to put together the trip of my dreams.

I Can't Wait!

One person's devil is another's clown.

Those aren't horns, it's hair.

twaffle Nov 10th, 2009 03:11 PM

I thought they were devils too!

LAleslie Nov 10th, 2009 05:02 PM

In my book, clowns ARE devils. Hate them. Scary.

Anyhoo, I'm glad you have some sense of humor LOL, because based on your first posts you seem disdainful of consumers and I'm glad you're not my TO.

atravelynn Nov 10th, 2009 07:05 PM

It's gettin' devil-y again now.

flowerpower Nov 11th, 2009 05:40 AM

Right ATLynn, LOL has said he wants us to enjoy our planning and safari experiences, so let's give him/her benefit of doubt.

No clowning around :)

Kavey Nov 11th, 2009 12:53 PM

A clown? I always thought that little pink face was a pig!!! :)

Patty Nov 11th, 2009 01:06 PM

This one's the pig :@)

cary999 Nov 11th, 2009 02:29 PM

I'd say LOL but i wouldn't want to confuse anyone with the poster LOL, so instead i'll write this thread is getting very funny. Really like all those little symbols.

twaffle Nov 11th, 2009 03:52 PM

Thanks teacher!

atravelynn Nov 11th, 2009 04:22 PM

Very clever Twaffle.

safarimama Nov 11th, 2009 06:19 PM

WOW! I never knew this!

Clueless in Seattle!

Leely2 Nov 11th, 2009 06:48 PM

Tom, you forgot other important animals like:

((@)) Cooncat
=:-) Alien (friendly)
>-) Alien (ambiguously intentioned)
3:O Cow (moo)
((&)) Trixie
:(|) Monkey (or is this a chimp?)
(~~) Michael Myers
8-X Reaper (grim)
:L Fodorite

twaffle Nov 11th, 2009 07:16 PM

Leely, the Fodorite one looks like Mrs Potato Head. I that how you see us all? :o

Leely2 Nov 11th, 2009 07:48 PM

Twaffle,

I think smileys are more like Abstract art. For example, this is a photographic representation of Trixie:

Her smiley counterpart:
((&))

I could go on (and on) but not everyone finds deep beauty and meaning in smileys. Pity.

twaffle Nov 11th, 2009 09:39 PM

Not everyone is discerning, obviously! I can see the resemblance. Trixie is more beautiful though.

safarimama Nov 11th, 2009 09:44 PM

I need a clueless smiley! Help!!!
