Oh crap! I missed it!

I was wondering why I hadn't seen him in a while.

Buzzy Out!

GROG guess that must be August of 2009 Buzzy, so you have 11 months to prepare.

Thanks for that, Buzzy......LONG BBQ today, drunk as hell.

Let this be a lesson to all you kids.........Don't drink and be Billy!

I head back to Australia on Sept 26 so have a couple of weeks still, I will be at the Planet Rooth show in San Diego and plan to step out in LA before I leave so if any of the OC/LA peeps wanna do dinner or something I will plan something..

Fat Chance!
Thanks for visitin!
Now get your butt back to England-land!

Raise sails head for the open sea.
With sails full of wind - our hearts
Overflow with belief.

The guest for the grail to england
We sail, with our steel. we
Bring what was lost. if
Lives are the cost, let it be.

Strong she stands - reaching her
Hand. brave and grand. on english
Ground - we were born. proudly
We return. - to english shore

Hail, hail, hail.

We march from the hills
Down to london town. -
Join raise your hand - or hide
When we ride for the crown.

The sign of the hammer and
The black winds blow through
The night. long was our wait
Our meeting with fate is tonight.

Strong she stands - reaching her
Hand. brave and grand. on english
Ground - we were born. proudly
We return. - to english shore

Hail, hail to england -
Hail, hail, hail.

Standing tall - one and all -
Light the hall. -

Years have passed - Ive dreamed
Of this day.
As we raise our hands - we
Proudly say.

Hail, hail to england -
Hail, hail, hail.

BLIMEY!
Betcha can't wait to go home and "play cricket" or whatever you call it!

:lol:

And good riddance you carpet laying , vegemite eatin',boomerang throwin , Digeradoo banging, Kangaroo ridin' son of a window dresser. We will be sure to visit your girl while you are on a walkabout .
Just kidding Travis . Youre a pleasure to have around and I will always remember you fixing a certain badly painted tiki . The tiki community does not even know what a service you did for them . See ya at Planet Rooth .

THERE'LL ALWAYS BE AN ENGLAND

THERE'LL ALWAYS BE AN ENGLAND
There'll always be an England,
While there's a country lane,
Wherever there's a cottage small
Beside a field of grain.
There'll always be an England,
While there's a busy street,
Wherever there's a turning wheel
A million marching feet.
Red, white and blue,
What does it mean to you?
Surely you're proud
Shout it aloud.
Britons awake!
The Empire too,
We can depend on you,
Freedom remains
These are the chains
Nothing can break.
There'll always be an England,
And England shall be free,
If England means as much to you
As England means to me.
"This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in a silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house
Against the envy of less happier lands
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm
This England"

Why is this a Tiki event?

I'm going to have to agree with you there.

After recovering from the raging hangover and subsequnt head-trama inflicted by my wife, I found time to post the pics from Travs first going away party. Probably the first of many.

First off, I'd like to thank Matt and Patty for their hospitality and inviting us into their beautiful home, Clyde for being a good sport, Davesnothome for for making it down from LA, Brian for cooking, Buzzard, Rick & Monica, Peter, The Finkniks, Sara, and everyone else that made this a fun night of drinking too much(if you're not listed by name, the party liquor erased your name from my memory) . Most of all, I'd like to thank Trav for spending his summer with us, here in sunny SanDiego. We tried to roast his Koala molesting ass, but no-one could think of anything to say. You'll be missed, ya c**t

I'd like to thank everyone for coming over. The mess this morning was minimal! Had a great time.
See you all at Planet Rooth!

thanks matt
great bar,great party!!
gonna miss you trav

Thanks Matt & Patty for having us and everyone else that came along for a drink, had a great time at a spectacular place with plenty of not-so-spectacular people. Good to hear we didn't make too much mess. Really enjoyed the "roast" as hosted by Billy the C%@T and bitch slapping Clydesdale (and then his return attack) was a highlight... I just have to work out how to load the vid onto Youtube

Here's a link to the slap incident...

Clydesdale got me back pretty good but we didn't get it on tape... bugger!

Hangover is right.
Thank you all for an excellent time!!
Here are some pic's. - Johnny B.





The Blackstrap shots did me in.

I heard the creepy creeps wanted $1000 just to play for 5 minutes , fucking rockstars .

For a band that's only been around for a year that seems a little steep .

Or at least that's what the word on the street is . . . somewhere , uh. . . . or something like that .

Seriously though , Matt I had a family situation that was sort of sudden . I'll catch you this weekend at the Rooth .

We passed around the hat and got $150 together so the Creepy Creeps agreed to do a sound check... Testicles, Testicles, ONE, TWO,...... THREE?

You got the Creepy Creeps to count all three of your testicles?

The more, The merrier!

I know that smell..........that's sarcasm, right? You know, the above is what the promoter told me, man. Just repeating what I heard and instead of saying yay or nay, you got all mad. Why WOULD I know how long a band I never go see had been around? Accept that not everyone is going to like your band, Mike..........dosen't mean they're bad people, or that you have to dislike them. I actually thought you were a pretty nice guy and enjoyed hanging out. Guess I'm just a square.

This thread is about Travis going home, anyways.

Oh, yeah......almost forgot.....CONGRATS ON YOUR HUNDREDTH POST!YAAAAAAAY!!

Just for some clarification here... Mike Stobbe and Mikey Ratt are not the same person. Take the ribbing.

[ Edited by: Matt Reese 2008-09-10 05:55 ]

Billy , at least you got the post count right .

I wasn't counting but I'm glad someone cares enough about that sort of thing to notice .

Oh and . . .

Yeah, whatever. I'll show you "lighten up".

Haha , oh man that's awesome .

I bet you would .

Goddammit!! When I stop laughing, I'll try and think of something else......or maybe I'll just give up and admit defeat.

That Sgt. Hulka pic is badass.

errrr.... ummm....what the hell is going on here.. how do you delete an entire topic?

Tiki Trav . . . I think ( after contemplating your pictures here ) that I met you at Route 44 both at the Wee Rock concert in the park on Adams Ave last month . I was the guy with the baby and wife with the tattoos who was giving Mikey shit while he was pinstriping .

As an attempt to not let this thread fall into total disrepair , sorry I wasn't actually able to come to your going away party at Matt's house . We could have given Mikey shit together as a team . . . it's always more fun that way .

Maybe if he's at the Planet Rooth deal we can all hop on and let him have it .

There thread hijack fixed and thread returned to it's rightful owner . . .

Sure .. I remember you... Yeah lets git him at the rooth show!..

I am not responsible for this thread!

No way I'm gonna be responsible for this mess... ha ha

Yeah, let's light some torches, grab some pitchforks and get him!

Yeah, I tried to be cool, but this is a crock. I try and make a thread to post pics of Travs last days (this go) in the states and I get this crap. Just let it die, man.
