Tech support comedian


I needed until noon to catch up on things and we had arranged to meet our ACT! tech support chap for lunch so 3 coffees were needed to get me going. I spilled the scalding liquid on my chest as I tried to open the 45 tonne fire safety door to the stairwell. How ironic. The Safety officer gone mad causes my burns for the sake of my safety. I was lobster red when I finally pulled off the steaming T-shirt. I remarked that at this rate of "safety" all hotels will soon have triple bank-vault doors just to get into your bathroom. Garrett laughed. I made a sort of lobster squeal. We eventually found James Burlew's house after I forgot the street name and yelled through my visor that it was Umpa Lumpa Street to Garrett. He cracked up and did his Wizard of Oz Lollypop Guild imitation. Umitalla Street was very close to Umpquala Street hence the confusion in my brain cell. James does the best voice impersonations and I always ask him to do Beavis and Butthead. He does George Bush very well too. James' lovely wife Holly drove all the way up to have lunch with us. It was the best mexican food I've ever had and I pigged out. Not a good move on my part. After our goodbyes and just 125 miles I started falling asleep on the bike and this was in spectacular scenery! We pulled off at Phoenix OR and called it a day. We have enormous miles to cover tomorrow through the best scenery so it will need to be a LONG day of hard riding. San Francisco here we come!

Maybe we should get James on our Tech Support Comedy TV show! Every person on it is a technical support representative.
I hope your readers will be interested in checking out the show: http://www.tsishow.com
