Randomly Seeking Drunken Penguin

This is lifted from an outrageous message I sent in 2005.

Top 10 Destinations
According to (2005) tripadvisor.com:
1. Venice, Italy
2. Agra, India
3. Tulum, Mexico
4. Grand Canyon, USA
5. Luxor, Egypt
6. St. Petersburg, Russia
7. Great Barrier Reef, Australia
8. Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
9. Siem Reap, Cambodia
10. Machu Picchu, Peru



Top ten destinations Spinner has never been to:

1. Iceland...I want to see volcanoes, ride a reindeer, and get into a streetfight with Bjork.

2. Paris...I want to vandalize the Hermes store, get buzzed on wormwood, piss in the Seine, and get into a streetfight with Bjork.

3. Tokyo...I want to eat Kobe beef, purify myself under a Shinto waterfall, lose my soul in the neon, and get into a streetfight with Bjork.

4. Patagonia...I want to climb whatever they have down there (mountains?hills?berns?), fish in frigid waters, listen to opera on a glacier field, and get into a dusty roadfight with a drunken penguin.

5. Cairo...kayak past the pyramids, try not to eat anything with my left hand, buy a beautiful carpet and a super fez, and drag race using camels.

6. San Francisco...play in the park, eat oodles of chocolate, write haiku on the docks, and get into a streetfight with a drunken Sean Penn.

7. Senegal...weave my own wallhanging, win karaoke night at Sami's, swim in a salty, pink lake, and get into a surfoff with Djimon Hounsou.

8. Spain...roar around the country in a ridiculous car, write country songs, learn how to dance the flamenco, join the Basque separatists, and get into a streetfight with Catherine Zeta-Jones.

9. New Zealand...sail around the country, avoid sheep, ride a whale, and play rugby (streetfight on a lawn) with a tattooed man.

10. Bhutan...dispel all bad impressions from Cameron Diaz' visit, climb a tree, duplicate the EddieMurphy/Golden Child temple scene at a sacred monastery, and, of course, get into a knifefight with Bjork.

I have yet to land in any of these spots and, no, I've failed to scrap it up with the Siren from Reykjavik. I only want to fight with her because I adore the fierce beauty of her throat.
