Up 'n leaving.

Ok, that's it, I've made up my mind. I'm sick of the banalities of everyday life, and I'm gonna do something about it. And you're coming with me! You hear?!

Pack your bags, because tomorrow you and I are going to quit whatever it is we're doing, and move to Mongolia to become warlords and/or horse thieves. We'll have to be as ruthless as Ghengis Kahn back in his day, but no pain, no gain; so we'll have to take it like men. Unless you're a woman, in which case you'll have to take it like a woman.

Then, after six months of thieving and warring, when we'll finally have established dominance over the plains of central Asia, we'll depart for Africa, on foot, and once there we'll start a system of hospitals and public work projects to cure disease and end all poverty. This might take slightly longer than six months, so we'll give it a year and a half.

Next up, we'll go to an undisclosed location somewhere in rural Europe where we will venture to set up an Underground International Espionage Agency (cleverly named UIEA - unpronouncable, therefore untrackable) and secretly take over the EU as our puppet government, with which we will be able to manipulate world affairs, so that we'll become obscenely wealthy and abhorrently powerful.

Then on to the life of adventurers, where we will become the first people to longitudinally circumnavigate the planet in a rubber inner tube pulled by 18 otters. Yes, otters. Then, perhaps, we'll settle in a small(ish) farm in Southern France, where we can finally slow down for a bit, live the pastoral life, and celebrate whatever there is to celebrate.

* * *

Alternatively, we could continue doing what we're doing, and die miserably. Your call.

Cheers

This is without a doubt the best post I've read all day, and I've read a LOT of posts - it's been one of those days :-/

So anyway, I'm in. I've already packed an A-Z and some sensible shoes.

And remember - pillage first, burn later.
