Yo Ho Ho and a Box of Cookies!!!

Hello, Funny one here. My state for today is Maryland. I’m with an elephant at the Lexington Market. Join them for one of Baltimore’s most interesting traditions, “Lunch with the Elephants.” The elephants are greeted by many adoring fans, live music and circus clowns. When they arrive, they are treated to the world’s largest stand up vegetarian buffet. They eat 1100 oranges, 700 bananas, 1000 apples, 400 pears, 500 heads of lettuce and 500 carrots. Baltimore is the only city in the United States to host this event on a yearly basis.

What about places for people to eat? There’s some interesting restaurants to go and eat. Sabatino’s Italian restaurant. What would I order? For starters, fried mozzarella, garlic bread and  fresh mozzarella with tomatoes. For the main meal, a fettuccine alfredo which is homemade fettuccine noodles served in their famous butter, cream and cheese sauce.  And for dessert I would have the tiramisu. To drink, I would have Chianti. Another cool place is One-Eyed Mike which is a pirate themed restaurant. What would I order? The Baked Brie, which is warm baked brie topped with oven-roasted almonds and a raspberry Melba sauce and the pecan-encrusted salmon. It’s an eight ounce salmon filet encrusted with pecans and finished with a maple glaze, served over wild rice and the vegetable of the day. What would I drink? They don’t have Chianti, so I would probably have the Fourteen Hands Merlot. But being a pirate themed restaurant, maybe they should serve rum. Still on food, there is a shop that sells yummy cookies, “Bundles of Cookies”.  They even have yummy whoopie pies. Mmmmm whoopie pies.

Back to pirates, there is the Urban Pirates. They let you go on the pirate ship with your own grog and you can act like a pirate!  Also staying with boats, there is the “Historic Ships In Baltimore” The USS Torsk looks super cool! It’s one of two tench class submarines that are still located in the United States. It has the nickname “Galloping Ghost of the Japanese Coast.” In 1945, the Torsk made two war patrols off Japan, sinking one cargo vessel and two coastal defense frigates. The latter of these, torpedoed on 14 August 1945 and was the last enemy ship sunk by the U.S. Navy in World War II.

Other fun places to go are the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. It’s home to the nation’s largest organization of combined scientists, engineers and technologists that build spacecraft, instruments and new technology to study the Earth, the sun, our solar system, and the Universe. The National Museum of Civil War Medicine is where you can find out about what medicines they used during the Civil War. Plus there is The Fire Museum of Maryland, which is where they have the third largest collection on display of any fire museum in the world. Among the collection are 42 antique fire apparatus, memorabilia, fire-fighting equipment, models, and photographs.

Froot Loops and Rain Drops

Hello, Funny One back here. Today I started the day with some Froot Loops. They don’t sell them in Britain – it’s a limited edition thing over here. They’re so great! Ok, so I said I was watching a Woody Allen movie last night, it was Sleeper. It was really funny. I really like watching the movies with both Woody Allen and Diane Keaton in them as they’re so funny together. It was a very random movie. It was super funny when Woody was trying to fly with a cheap Japanese flying machine, it would barely get him off the ground. Diane was funny when she was singing. I also loved it when Woody was trying to steal the oversized fruit and vegetables. Anyways, today I went out to the local shops. Very boring. It rained (like most days, though.) It’s so depressing here. Not a good place to do comedy. The people were weird, too. They like to make rude comments about the way I dress, just because I was wearing blue wellies. There’s nothing weird about that, is there? It was raining. Had pizza for lunch but unfortunately half of it fell on the floor. After lunch, I drew another funny picture and watched some TV. Can’t be on too long as I’m having dinner soon. It’s kipper kedgeree.
