Travels with WoolleyDoog

WoolleyDoog

I've been MIA lately so want to keep you losers abreast of the recent odyssey I went on. I'm not posting photos because you can Google all this shit and for privacy reasons.

Berkeley
Went down to the Boss Baby Bowl. No hyperbole. Berkeley might be my least favorite place I've ever been. A lot of closed down businesses. A lot of homeless. Super unattractive population. Outside of the clock tower, not a remarkable campus. Way more students actually showed up than I thought would. Couldn't have been more than 1,000 Cal fans outside of that. I maybe have blacked out and partied with a homeless guy after the game.

I immediately flew from Berkeley to London

London & Ireland
Best looking women I've ever seen in my life in one place and they appeared happy. Overall, just such a giant upgrade over Berkeley or any American West Coast city really. Contrary to what as swipes here would tell you almost everyone in both countries seemed pretty stoked on America and talking to an American. Very little political shit anywhere. I partied all night in Galway with random non-homeless Irish people I met at a bar. So much beer drinking and no water drinking. Very little masking. There's a lot of shit I'm sure I like more about/in America but sharing the positive.

Went to the Jags/Broncos NFL game. The media would never tell you they packed Wembley with 80,000 + NFL fans from Europe. About 50,000 were Broncos fans. Met people in the bars who were born and raised in Germany and the UK and their entire family are Seahawk fans. Basically the opposite environment of a Seahawks game though. Fans don't eat or drink during the game and watch every single play. Absolutely no lines for food/drink or the bathrooms during play. Also not a single second devoted to virtue signaling. Saw several jerseys/gear of every NFL team, which was surreal. In the UW/Oregon national branding saw one weirdo likely virgin in Duck gear and one chick wearing a 90s Huskies sweater which I think she probably got at a lost and found.

Made it to the Phil Lynott statue in Dublin.

That is all.

When one of my kids got into Cal, we drove down "for the experience." Won't do that again.

Driving in from the north, where you get hours and hours and hours of nowhere rural, suddenly you're in the Oakland. Not an inviting place to say the least. I thought she'd be a Bear because when you grow up in the West and you're smart that's a school that is on your list and, from afar, it seems like the shit. Agree the campus is so so, the surrounding area ranges from ok fine to let's get the fuck out of here, and they don't /can't provide housing past, as I recall, sophomore year, and finding it thereafter is reportedly a giant pain in the ass. The area is overly congested and crazy, and not just a little dirty. Telegraph is like the Ave on steroids. And our trip was years before the pandemic. I'd been down there years before for a game but didn't remember it all that well other than Telegraph, which I recalled accurately.

I'd say one of the most disappointing college trips we took. She didn't attend.

The British Isles is our next European trip.

I wonder how much of the European fans sitting and watching the whole game is based on watching soccer which has no breaks other than halftime.

I had tickets to the Frankfurt Galaxy in NFL Europe back in 2003 or 2004. Germans didn’t get excited and stand up during games. One of my buddies was a Bears fan and wore an Urlacher jersey to a game. The German guy behind him kept saying “Urlacher…seat down”

Can't be a travel thread without at least one pic. Here's a pic Woolley sent from the Lynott statue. I slightly tweaked it as to conceal his identity.

That still looks like Woolley.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around all these hot women in London and Ireland. I mean, there are good looking women there, don't twist, but best looking ever?

Absolutely yes, but I would say London over Ireland/Dublin. I would say the only comparison I could think of was Manhattan in the summer. I lived in LA for 10 plus years and there's a lot but they're much more spread out. I'm sure an All-American campus is stacked but I wouldn't really count that. I've been underwhelmed by big California cities and Miami.

I think this is dead on. My friend of a friend who was London born and raised but probably the most knowledgeable Eagles fan ever who wore a Zach Ertz jersey and knew a lot about Sidney Jones was asked if they would have cheerleaders or mascots or Megatron hat dances and shit at the game and he immediately said absolutely fucking not. I do enjoy drinking beer and not paying attention as much at games, especially if I'm not super invested in the outcome, but it was a nice refresher and nostalgia reminding me of the Husky days of yore when they packed the stadium, people got their on time, and paid attention to every play.

Mrs Snow announced recently that we're taking the fam to London for Spring Break this year. Plane tickets already bought. Should be a lovely time to be strolling about. I'll get a tan from standing in the English rain.

You should visit Eastern Europe.

I got insanely lucky with weather. It was low-70s and high 60s almost everyday I was in London in late October.

That makes a lot of sense. I've heard they're super interested in Americans as well.

Bingo.

And Southern Europe.

I am reasonably certain I have been to more countries more times than 98% of this bored, and I have been to all 50 states. Miami is a top 3 destination in the world for hot trim. #facts

And there you have it, the number 1 spot and it isn't close. Went to a titty bar named Medusa on Crete, and the entire staff of sluts is flown in from Croatia/Estonia/Czechoslovakia/Romania/etc. and they are just lights out hot. Best looking girls at any titty bar anywhere bar none. I spent a bunch of time in Budapest and they were fire. Fucking love Eastern European girls.

My travels aren’t as extensive mostly because Orkin has a lot of international clients but I’ve been to titty bars in Rome, Vicenza, and some place in the Czech Republic. The talent (ILTCSTT,IWILTD) was most all Eastern European and smoking fucking hot.
