America Unchained | Dave Gorman
Panpan

Englishman Dave Gorman travels to America and attempts to drive coast to coast without financially supporting any type of chain, be it food, lodging or gas. This should have been more interesting than it was. In fact, it could have been interesting if it were an article rather than a book--a book that felt like it would never end.

TheEllieMo I feel that Gorman‘s experiences work better as comedy routines that they do as books 2d

The Big Demise! Or Big Dumb Eyes. I have watched his specials and enjoyed them. This was in my want to read list and then it was on sale. I have struggled to read for fun lately so it was a good one to enter back in with. Enjoyable and quick read.

I found this a little harder to follow than the first book, and there's hardly any Red Ranger. Still very cute and sweet though.

Some Stuff About Me
#AuldLangSpine

1. I tripped Queen Elizabeth II when I was 9 years old. True story.

2. I hate coffee. Yes. I said it.

3. My favorite color is green.

4. I‘m a New England native who can trace my family‘s roots in Massachusetts and Connecticut back to 1627.

5. I‘m a genealogy buff. I started doing research when I was 12 and haven‘t stopped. And boy, have I found some interesting skeletons by shaking that family tree… ⬇️

Amiable 6. I married the guy who lived next door to me in college. We just celebrated our 34th anniversary. We have two sons: one is a Marine helicopter pilot and the other is a rocket scientist. (edited) 3w
Amiable 7. I‘ve worked as a writer/editor for my entire career: at a daily newspaper, a university and a hospital health system. But I always wanted to be an astronaut. (Thank you, Carl Sagan!) 3w
Amiable 8. I love all 4 seasons. Even winter! 3w

Deblovestoread #1 What a memory! Love this ❤️ 3w
Amiable @Deblovestoread when she died my father immediately called me and said, “Do you think they‘ll mention in her obituary about that time in 1976 when you tripped her?” 😄 3w
dabbe I now want to hear the whole story where you tripped Queen Liz! Loved learning more about you, too. ♥️💙💚 3w
Amiable @TheKidUpstairs I‘m a die-hard tea drinker! 🫖 3w
Amiable @dabbe In 1976, Liz and Phillip visited the U.S. for the bicentennial. On July 11, they sailed from NYC to New Haven to catch a flight at Tweed Airport. My parents took us kids to the docks to see them. It was hot and I was bored, so I sat down on the curb and stretched my legs out. As they were traversing the wharf, the Queen stumbled over my legs. 😬 Thankfully she didn‘t fall. But it‘s a family legend now. 😄 3w
Bette Fascinating and fun—thanks for sharing. The jokes your son, the rocket scientist, can make. 😊 3w
monalyisha Great list — and hi! 👋🏻 3w
marleed Not me coming back to the post a day later to see if you continued the story of tripping Queen Elizabeth ❤️👑 2w
Amiable @marleed Ha ha! I didn‘t want to assume that there weren‘t others out there who had also tripped the Queen and were like, “ho hum, boring!” 😄 2w
Chrissyreadit wow!!! 🎉🎉🎉all of it! 2w
CSeydel Wow! 🤩 2w
CSeydel Love the tripping the queen story, but I want to hear more about the family tree drama!! 2w
Suet624 So fun to know more about you. 😊 2w
Amiable @CSeydel Well, one of the stories is that I‘m a direct descendant of the only person ever executed in New Haven Colony … for bestiality. William Potter, who was part of one of the founding families of New Haven, was hanged in 1662. He was my 7x-great grandfather. 😬 You can actually Google him and read all about his court case! 2w
CSeydel Oh my goodness! 😬 2w

So cute I can barely stand it! An alien Supervillain committed to destroying humanity needs to de-stress, and nothing feels better than looking at Pandas. Or small, soft, pettable creatures. Or helping small humans. Or even helping his nemesis, the adorable Dawn Red Ranger. I guess there's nothing wrong with being kind to humans before you destroy them?

This is the first manga I've managed to get through and now I get it! Or some of it.
