D: Here's CyberMarmot checking to see if his stock tanked while he was on vacation.
M: We made fun of Dan for bringing along his laptop, until he called up the most recent The Onion. That particular edition had the "Lab Rabbit Strongly Recommends Cover Girl Waterproof Mascara" article. We laughed our asses off. So Marmot was suddenly our hero.
D: Oh, there were some really nasty pieces in that edition about the U.S. election, too. In London, everyone gave us the old nudge-nudge, "So how 'bout that vote in Florida, huh?"
M: That's right! It was another difference between England and France. In England, they concern themselves with American politics. In France, they couldn't give a shit.
D: It was especially ironic in England, because you know how they are with their royalty: the Queen Mother has a solid BM and it makes the evening news. But for the one week we were there, the tables were turned: all they could talk about was our "royalty", for a change.
M: I think their coverage was actually better— less self-righteous and opinionated. Pretty embarrassing. Anyway, this is Marmot's "computer desk". That's an ironing board. To the left, is the ladder that leads up to the loft where Chris and Marmot tried to sleep though our snoring. They were saints about the sleeping arrangements.
D: No, they put us in the room with the door that closes.
M: Ah yes. The auxilliary refrigerator.
