OOOOOOOh! Just made it by the skin of my teeth, wonder what Reg has in store.

Ah dinny ken lassie, but mibby if we use wee squeaky voices we'll get oan the bus furr hawf fare. Whit de ye think? Worth a wee try?

Haggis & cock-a-leekie!? Yirrum a doo a doo a day, 'tis Burns Nicht in July!! :-)

Och aye, 'tis the wee squeaky voices o' Alan and Sue o'er the finnan haddie fondue pot: "Double, trouble, toil, & trouble..." :-)

Speaking as a coach, I prefer we refer to the vehicle as anything BUT a coach - only females get to board me, and only then with my consent and at least a little foreplay!

Your attention, please! For everybody's protection, I have appointed myself official adult beverage quality control officer - all alcoholic beverages will be sampled by me to ensure your partying safety. Thank you for your cooperation.

Oh, and uh, will we be leaving soon? It seems there is a small misunderstanding involving an ongoing misdemeanor investigation by the Merced County Sheriff's Department and they may or may not be seeking to question me regarding events of which I may or may not have knowledge . . .

It would be shame to mar this festive outing over insignificant and unsubstantiated rumors of questionable behavior . . .

Marshall, of course. I'm guessing the kick off song will be "Still on the road to freedom". Not sure, but think I saw a big red guitar sticking out from beneath our mysterious bus driver's seat..

The song might be "Sugar the Road to Freedom", though, B...or even "Sugar Still on the Road to Freedom", who knows. ;-)

Oops, that shoulda been "Double, DOUBLE, toil and trouble", obviously, guys...and of course, "fire burn and fondue bubble!" :-)
