"Grow up"--is that like "Get a life"?

OK So I'm a sucker. <BR> <BR>I went and read the most recent updae referred to above and thougt I'd have alook at the famous web site. (Dr Abate gives a URL for part of his site in his verrry long posting) I clicked on the link to his home page and my monitor was taken over by not one but two foreign pages, neither of whom had the normal tool bar, so I couldn't get out again without exiting the web. <BR> <BR>Interesting, eh?

Oh please, Ritchie, not the FOX network. They'll have Dr. Abate marrying Dr. Laura and then where would we be? What would Dr. Suess say? Common you pranksters!! I'm not witty enuf for this.

I agree with the "grow-up" person. It appears that no one has asked a relevant travel question other than to quote another site and ask the usual reply sources here to trash someone. It isn't "get a life" at all. It's have some decency....answer travel questions rather than joke about others. It isn't even sarcasm.....it's sick.

Oh, c'mon you people, lighten up! If you don't like, don't read it!

I agree with the posters that we are wasting time and space being funny. Travel is a deadly serious business and is no place for humor. <BR>I believe the Lonely Planet Forum demonstrates this admirably.

Elvira: LP just announced it's going to overhaul the Thorn Tree in a few weeks. I doubt it will help though. It's gotten so bad on the Thorn Tree that they have even started bashing the Canadians:). Regards, Walter <BR>

Walter, I believe that's a new sport that's a spin-off of ice hockey, ay?

THE DR. ABATE CHALLANGE <BR> <BR>Everyone who reads this thread must book a room through Dr. Abate and complete their travel within the next year. Whoever has the most tragic/amusing experience wins. I see a possible book deal. How about "What's it all Abate?"

The Scottish version: <BR>When Abate meets Abate...

Hey, Elvira -- Is that your rye sense of humor comin' through?

I don't think Dr. Abate would rent a home to you....you must be smart enough to fill out his paperwork.

Doggonit! Hoisted on my own pitard!

Who is Dr. Abate?

And who cares.

From the "I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison" thread.<BR><BR>There once was a bloke named Abate <BR>Who rented apartments with latte <BR>The problem was this <BR>A man did he piss <BR>And drove his PR firm batty
