My favourite post was the one where everyone dished on the worst-dressed person they had spotted while on holiday. Two of us, believe it or not, spyed Imelda Marcos at Saks in a wrinkled track suit.

My favorite post or posts are those that answered a travel question that I asked.<BR><BR>We have joke books at home with much funnier stories than &quot;tipping the pilot&quot; and other silly things.

Well, I'd have to say the original Dr. Abate battle - but that was long ago obliterated. The &quot;Beth Anderson Lessons In Narcissism&quot; serial brought many a chuckle to me. God that was bad! And of course, the &quot;Nancy Melodramas For A Rainy Afternoon&quot; series had me rolling on the floor at times. Here is a link to the pilot for that series ---<BR>http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessa...amp;tid=108056

can anyone find nightmare on tavern green? Yes I know its on the US forum but I have tried various keywords and can't find it. Must have been deleted.

another vote for the Italian saga. <BR>

Clara &amp; Herb -- after that the limerick thread that seems to have been deleted:(

All Time Favorite has to be:<BR>&quot;I Was Drunk The Day My Mother Got Out of Prison&quot;. I have shown it to many people to explain why I've become addicted to visiting fodors, and we have laughed at some of the posts til tears rolled down our cheeks. <BR><BR>Does anyone have a copy of &quot;Drunk&quot;? I tried to find it to no avail. <BR><BR>&quot;Tipping the Pilot&quot; is my #2 fave.<BR>

There was one about fat people with an argument made that one must pay for extra luggage so why not room.<BR><BR>I was laughing, having been on both sides.

Another vote for Lucy's original Trip Report! It was a well-written cliffhanger and I wish that I had printed it out. However, so many &quot;fake&quot; Lucy's added to it, the real Lucy will never post again (as in sequel).<BR><BR>Also, giggled over &quot;what do you to entertain yourself on overseas flights&quot;, i.e., &quot;kick the seat in front of me........&quot;

My favorite was the one on traveling light when Jim-I think- said that he saved all of his holie underwear to take to Europe, and pitched them in every country that he visited in Europe. Not only that, he did not have a favored nation-he treated all the same.

actually I rather enjoyed Beth Anderson's posts - she had a lot of verve, as well as nerve. imagine quitting a job to strike out on your own. I do miss Elvira the most though.

Byrd Jan 25th, 2003 12:32 PM

The Dr. Abate harangue has got to be one of the funniest ever. What a shame it's gone!

michele Jan 25th, 2003 03:48 PM

Another vote for Dr. Abate

yes, strange- not exactly censor material.

curious Jan 26th, 2003 12:49 AM

Ah I see! Nancy has had posts removed.

susan_hurley Jan 26th, 2003 05:06 AM

i don't understand this post. you mean some of you actually read posts on here all the time? why?? a freind just told me of this website to ask a question concerning train times/schedules in scotland. after reviewing THIS post, i'm beginning to wonder if this isn't yet another forum some of you use as a chat room! shocking to say the least.

Frank Jan 26th, 2003 06:30 AM

Susan<BR>Shocking??! Dear me! You have led a sheltered life. Also, ever heard of capital letters? Still, I'm not sure why I'm asking as you won't be wasting time reading this.

John Jan 26th, 2003 03:56 PM

I don't think the question about laundromats in Spain is funny. I looked for almost 3 weeks and only found one (which was closed).

mary Jan 26th, 2003 05:21 PM

WOW! It seems most of you on here have way too much time on your hands. You seem to be using this website as a form of companionship/chat vs. what it is meant for...information regarding travel. I feel sorry for you!
