Appropriately enough, because I'm going to try to restrict entries in this blog to topics actually related in some way to my upcoming Trip (and then when on it, of course, the trip itself), I just finished watching a show called ... The Trip.

Come on - watch it ! - I guarantee you will laugh:

One of my favorite scenes was nowhere to be found on youtube, so I did a rough homemade version just now.  Sorry, the sound is a bit low - just turn up yer speakers.  This one's about perusing life's bigger questions:

Btw do not confuse this show with the below, starring Peter Fonda and in psychedelic color:
