Welcome to Degas Parlour
Here we are gathered to discuss future trip report ideas for the our star reporter Mssr. Degas. We are here to relax and have a laugh. Robdaddy, hopefully will be a guest speaker.

This idea might come too late. Degas dropped off his keys and shotgun so I can watch his shack and moonshine still while he is out of the country at an undisclosed location.
I thought about faxing or emailing him some ideas, but he's hopeless with technology. The best we can do is leave some messages at various McDonalds around Europe.

Several topics I would welcome from Degas:
1) How to filet and cook a catfish using the hotel's coffee maker.
2) The best way to see Germany without ever being more than 20 minutes from a Walmart.
3) When to co-ordinate and wear a white belt with loafers and how to wash and dry a jump suit in the hotel bathroom.

Calamari, thanks for the invitation to be a guest speaker, but I'll decline for now. I would like to offer a suggestion, however.
I would really like to see the inestimable Degas launch a new career. When one travels to Europe, it is often possible to take cooking classes, painting lessons, and the like.
Shouldn't a man of Degas's talents and experience offer similar opportunities for cultural immersion to our European visitors?
I can see him guiding a Scotsman through the basics of Mid-western cuisine (Well allrighty then, you take this Jello mold..."... or leading some lager louts on a midnight grafitti run, spray painting lissome underage ballerinas on Confederate monuments.
Degas, we are counting on you!

DEGAS called back collect - he was really excited and out of breathe. He was trying to tell me what was going on, but it was hard to hear as there was heavy gunfire in the background.
At one point he yelled "I'll strangle that little prissy airhead for putting us on the wrong damn plane" and then it sounded like a terrible struggle took place. Pretty soon I heard his little wife MELBA scream "Get your filthy foreign hands off BUBBA or I'll gut you like a mullet at a fishfry."
Then there was more gunfire and the line went dead. I called the number on my caller I.D. and some guy answered in french.
Before I could ask for DEGAS, the line went dead again.

PBS should pick up our Degas as an alternative to Ricky and Rudy....and that "honey" who does the Conde Nast traveler... she's a bit er.. um..."tight". Anyway, Degas' Europe Travel Specials would be a welcome change during the interminable "pledge drives"...
