<i>Just peeked in to take a look at this thread and got hit upside the head with a tomato.</i>

Budman, that reminds me of <b>Tomatina</b>, the famous tomato battle in Bu&ntilde;ol, Spain. Ever since seeing clips of it on the news, I've thought it would be a blast to take part in, or at least see. It was just recently, on August 25th this year.

Hi Capo! I saw a magazine article about that tomato throwing festival years ago and have always wanted to go.

Budman, thanks for the laugh!

earl, is it all clear now?

Marilyn, let's all go next year! We can all throw tomatoes at m_kingdom.

Giovanna, who says it would to be a waste? I'd find some attractive Spanish woman covered with tomatoes, just throw some basil and mozzarella on her, and have a delicious <i>Caprese en una Mujer Espa&ntilde;ola</i>.

At 10:49 am, MK2 inadvertently gave away his/her values in life with this comment:
&quot;people should always remain clothes&quot;

Not &quot;clothed&quot; but &quot;clothes.&quot; As far as MK2 is concerned, you really ARE what you wear. How could anything else matter?

I don't find MK's comments to be offensive at all. Humorous, actually. As for rudeness, she doesn't even begin to hold a candle to that other poster.

I picture m_kingdom2 as a big ole drag queen, or a Dame Edna clone.

My pet theory is that MK2 is preparing a one-person drag show for the stage or cabaret. His/her posts here are an attempt to create a fully fleshed-out persona of a cynical, wealthy, snobbish, and endlessly shopping London socialite. Method acting at its best!

m_kingdom2 is great fun. and i think it's pretty amazing for as close as we all have become that we are still not certain his/her sex/gender. and although i disagree with the excessive overpacking (by a service, no less) advice... i mostly look forward to the creative input.

now you want scary take a look at Bigboy71712, a new and extremely annoying participant who thankfully will be leaving for europe by monday.

I always thought mk was really either Graham Norton or Prince Philip incognito.

I doubt Bigboy has ever been out of his hometown let alone going to Europe.

I'm quite sure that that is the first time Graham Norton and Prince Philip have been mentioned in the same sentence.

ThinGorjus, I can't believe you said that but thanks for giving me a good laugh. If you knew how many times that's crossed my mind...

I think that thread went up in smoke. This one has a few more tomatoes to throw.
