Dresden

Hello again,

This time that hello comes from Dresden, the capital of Saxony, biking distance (40 km) from the Czech Republic! Damn, Europe's itty-bitty!

Dresden is, apparently, the Palace Capital of the World, with more palaces than I can count on half a hand. If you don't know, Dresden was the subject of a terrible firebombing in the Second World War. To this day, if you utter the words firebombing at full volume in Dresden, people will flee for their lives to the many top secret underground fire-resistant chambers they have hidden around the city.

Anyway...

Dresden is also the Pretty Capital of the World, since all the palaces they have littered about the place were built in 1999 after decades-long reconstruction efforts following the...well, you know what. At any rate, they're all very spick and span and clean and shiny and lots of other adjectives with some conjunctions thrown in for only 5 euro extra.

So, we've stayed now with a grand total of three very nice Germans and one very nice Pole (i.e., Polish, not an inanimate column-like object), and as I write this I am sitting in the cool evening breeze above a quiet cobbled street on the balcony of a flat near the city centre. Where'd you write your comment? A basement?

So, enough gloating, let's drink some more wine!

L'chaim,

John from Canada

P.S: We've been taking so many PHOTOS, it's like we're having a PANTS PARTY, like, PRACTICALLY EVERY DAY. If you could, I'd ask you to CHECK OUT THOSE PANTS PARTIES REGULARLY.

Berlin...Again

Greetings,

Today I would like to discuss an odd phenonmenon that John and I only recently became aware of and that is the City Beach. Throughout Germany sand has been brought into city centres and placed near any water source whatsoever in order to create artificial beaches in which to bath and drink and otherwise pretend like their on a beach...what?!? All joking aside though their awesome!

In other news we are proud to annouce a brand new member to HIP. Congratulations to Pam who has successfully posted 20 times and will be sent a username and password at the earliest possible opportunity. Pam can now enter the AMAZING HIP section which has everything awesome plus even more.

Pantz Party,

What?

I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking, "Geez, these Stuart & John from Canada guys are getting pretty undependable. They can't seem to get a video on time anymore!"

And then that gets you thinking, what if nothing is dependable anymore? What if the whole world is going to collapse because your favourite people in the world aren't as dependable as you thought they were?!

Well, you're wrong. The world isn't going to collapse, and we're very dependable.

Let me tell you the story of what happened to us last night, and hopefully you'll see why we didn't post.

It begins with us staying with some very nice couchsurfers in Berlin. We just arrived earlier that morning, and spent the day walking around the government district, where twenty or so massive, Orwellian-style buildings make you feel like an ant in an industrial park. We got back home, and decided we were all going to go out to a 48 hour arts festival in a nearby district of Berlin.

But wait, it gets better.

We arrive at an abandoned, derelict brewery, where there is an independent art installation. Three floors of this building have been taking over as a gallery for independent artists (as has the neighbouring underground paintball arena). We spend a few hours there, some of which we spend being confused by German artists, and then we head out again.

But wait, it gets better.

Now we are heading to something called KLAUS! KLAUT!, which is described as a "48-hour non-stop social role-playing improvisational experiment in which you try and find Klaus."

Okay...

When we arrive, there is a team of exhausted looking people wearing t-shirts with KLAUS! on them who give us buttons saying (in German) kidnapper, accomplice, and victim. Stuart and I choose victim.

We are ushered into a makeshift cinema where they show us an instructional video, in German, translated by our hosts.

We are then ushered into a cellar, where there is an interrogation chair, a bright light, a "KLAUS! Wants To Be A Millionaire" set, and several video cameras. We are afraid we are going to die as part of some obscure German art project, but we go along anyway.

We're then asked, as victims, to sit in a chair and hold a sign that says "I have been a prisoner for one hour." Our captors (our hosts) give us requests to read into a camera that the accomplice is using to film us.

We then have to do whatever the captor demands.

The film, they say, will be edited together into news footage that they will show at the end of the 48 hour non-stop social role-playing improvisational experiment, along with everyone else's strange scenarios.

The KLAUS! Wants To Be A Millionaire set was never used. God only knows what that's for.

After crawling back home over Berlin public transit (the Free-bahn), it was past 2:30 in the morning and we were exhausted from a combination of modern art and 48 hour non-stop social role-playing improvisational experiments.

At any rate, it was a very odd, very indescribable situation. This description will no doubt not do it justice, but here's how I would summarize it: it was like being in a strange cellar, decorated by strange objects, with everyone speaking a strange language, and you have to do the Chicken Dance.

For two minutes.

Anyway, this is some of the footage we managed to compile, but since NOTHING can really do it justice, we hope that this post, combined with this video footage, will give you some idea of what happened to us last night.

Please, for the love of god, FIND KLAUS!

John from Canada

Tafelwasser

Blogger's started to talk to me in German...

Hello everyone, from Berlin! The confusion (and German) capital of the world!

More specifically, hello from East Berlin! The depression (and graffiti) captial of the world!

We woke up this morning and took a walk through the neighbourhood thinking "God, this looks kind of dank and humourless. I wonder what's up with Berlin?"

Then we hopped on the Freebahn (more on that later) and popped out in West Berlin, where everything was clean and shiny but still pretty much humourless. Turns out there's not that much difference between the communism and capitalism after all. Just a layer of dirt. And a bridge.

Anyway, there were lots of big buildings and even bigger empty spaces called something-platz to make us feel small and confused, and a tour bus and a rotatey restaurant with surprisingly reasonable beer prices to make us feel poor and still a little confused.

So until tomorrow,

Guten Nacht,

John from Canada

TIP OF THE DAY: If you are ever in Germany and asked "Sprachen sie Englisch?" the correct cultural response is "a little" and a vaguely pissed off look.

Berlin Train

Hello all!

We haven't died! We were just in Amsterdam.

Anyway, we're in Berlin now...

We're getting kind of hard to keep track of. But you can do it in the Trip section of the website, which has just been updated.

Amsterdam was a really cool place and we liked it a lot! Our host was especially nice, and after staying in his flat this abandoned office block hostel feels sort of like a dungheap. Oh well.

In a couple days' time we'll be sleeping somewhere else, and a couple days from then we'll be in a different city. Probably.

Anywho...all I want to do is go to bed right now, but I thought I'd come online and write this post to show that yes, we do still care about you folks in Canada.

Auf Wiedersehen,

John from Canada

We're back in action! Today was filled with another hair raising travel adventure in which John and I caused an entire train to reverse and go back to the station it had just left. We will try our best to post two videos tonight. The video below was originally intended to air yesterday but since i'm tired of making excuses, i'm not going to make any.

Enjoy,

Lawn-Dawn: Take 2

Hello everyone!

Here are some exciting things I'm going to recount to you like an excited pre-teen girl:

1) Omigod you won't believe I forgot to tell you I'm so stupid sometimes okay okay here we go when Stu and me were in Edinburgh on our last day we went to the store right and the guy behind the counter who is always really nice to me and compliments me and is a cool guy and really nice and stuff well that guy said to us that SEAN MUTHAFUCKIN CONNERY had passed by all with an umbrella like it ain't no big deal that he's SEAN MUTHAFUCKIN CONNERY just one hour before we got there and we were all like "Awwwwwwww!"

2) Omigod and then the next day after we came to London which is SOOOO cool like all the buildings and stuff are much bigger than they are anywhere else and you think "what could this possibly have been, like a house for giants" and stuff we saw a stall for cheap tickets and bought tickets to BILLY MUTHAFUCKIN ELLIOT that totally heartwarming story about a kid dancing and stuff that is one of LONDON'S HIT MUSICALS and so we're totally going to see it tomorrow.

3) Omigod and then this other thing, we totally saw Stonehenge and I was all like "AWW, DRUIDS!" but then the audio guide which was narrated by this totally stuck up sounding British dude and woman and stuff was all like "NO DRUIDS EVER HERE EVER" and I was all like "NO WAY!!"

4) Americans suck. Fuckin suck. What is wrong with them?!

Anywho, I'm going to continue to listen to people who are very drunk singing TNT in our sketchy sketchy hostel bar in the ghetto Dollis Hill (West End, yo!) neighbourhood of London.

Superlong Superpost Superfabulouso,

Day 10 + 113

Today was CRAZY!! We travelled until we were dead tired. Creating a fun game called walk bus plane bus walk tube tube walk. A game where you take all the aforementioned modes of transportation within a 7 hour period. At any rate John and I just arrived at our hostel in London which is...something else. More on that later...or maybe not.

That's all for now.

In the Klub,

Celebrate Good Times, Come On!

Hey everybody!

Today, as many of you might have realised, is our last full day in Edinburgh. It's a sentimental time for me and Stuart, but above all, it's a celebration of the fact that by this time tomorrow, we'll be in Lawn-dawn once again.

But coincidentally, it was also an AWESOME day! Here's a brief description of all the awesome things that happened to happen on our last day in Edinburgh:

1) IT RAINED! Yes, even awesome days have rain in Scotland.

2) We paid too much for postage! Yes, even on awesome days, the Post Office wants to fuck you. Still, it means we no longer have to carry a bunch of useless shit around.

3) We were tourists! We went into EVERY tourist shop on the Royal Mile and bought a bunch of cool stuff (some of you can expect postcards very soon... :-)!!)

4) We unloaded our worldly possessions! We gave our clothes to charity, being the absolute saints that we are. What did you do today? Shop at Gap? Pah!

4) We met some Canadians! Walking the Princes Street Gardens we saw some Canadians and went out for drinks with them.

5) We met some Kingstonians! Yes, those very Canadians happened to be from Kingston! What a coincidence!

6) We met some Kingstonians who hate Kingston! This isn't that surprising...everyone hates Kingston.

7) We finally found a host in Amsterdam! That's right, a really cool guy in Amsterdam decided to let us surf his couch for a couple nights, which couldn't be more awesome! You might get to meet him in an upcoming video!

So, all in all, we're feeling pretty good. And we decided to channel this good energy into a night of celebration, and give the old city of Edinburgh the send off it deserves...a drunken one.

Celebrate good times, come on,

John from Canada

A Rainy Rainy Day

Today was exciting on two fronts and let me tell you about them both, anal retentive style.

1. We are one day closer to Chu Chu Thunder and our flight off to beautiful and majestic London.

2. It was the FIRST real day of rain in Edinburgh since we've arrived.

In other news italics are more fun to read then normal lettering.

Tomorrow will bring further headaches as John and I will wait for more emails from people telling us they don't have a couch for us to share and having to deal with U.K post office. If you don't know how John and I feel about the U.K mail or any other mail service please see the definition for the word douchebag in the Websters Dictionary and Encyclopedia.

10,000

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I don't have any big announcement. I'm just tired of saying "Hello," "Hey," and "Greetings." Although coincidentally, today is a big day, because today is our 111th video.

Since it is unlikely we'll reach 222 or 333, and even less likely that we'll reach 777 or 888, I thought I'd recognize the 111th with a special poem.

Ahem.

One hundred, plus ten, plus one again
So much larger than a hundred plus ten
When I'm with you it's like I'm in heaven
Oh, I love you, one hundred and eleven.


And now, a video about another special occasion just around the bend...

Maybe she's born with it,

One of the Last

I hope everyone has remembered their scores from yesterday because the results are in! Thank you to those people who posted their scores in the comment section. See below for your results.

In other news this thursday marked the last time John and I had to act as housemaids at Chester St! In celebration we ate lost of pistachios and other salted nuts...DING!

The shorter the post the later the hour,

Stuart from Canada

video





P.S: Here is the answer key for yesterday's FREE PERSONALITY TEST, the Lastoke Personality Evaluation (Online Edition). Hope you remembered your score!

0-24 points
If you scored between 0 and 24 points, you dance to your own beat. Totally unique in outlook and personality, you often choose the path less travelled through life. Your motives are not always clear to yourself or to those around you, but you are dedicated to each outcome. The majority of your relationships tend to be shorter term, though there are a few which you treasure deeply. You value fun and take risks willingly.

25-49 points
If you scored between 25 and 49 points, you are someone who has the ability to find humour in any situation. You appreciate the lighter side of life, which sometimes makes you take a less serious approach to relationships. You are less driven than those around you, and you can sometimes lose direction. You are a risk taker, sometimes to the detriment of your relationships.

50-74 points
If you scored between 50 and 74 points, you tend to prefer the beaten track to roads less travelled. You thrive on routine and security. You speak your mind freely and are ready to accept the consequences, sometimes to the detriment of your relationships. You are driven, direct, and confident in who you are. To some, you may come off as smug or aloof, though you are always honest.

75-100 points
If you scored between 75 and 100 points, you are outspoken, sometimes to your own detriment. Convicted in your beliefs and strong-willed, you sometimes risk your own happiness and security for the sake of speaking your mind. Your relationships are the result of hard work on both sides, and they will not deteriorate quickly, though you have been known to put your foot in your mouth. You are not particularly good at conflict resolution, though your faith and the conviction of your beliefs will see you through hard times.

FREE PERSONALITY TEST

No, we're not Scientologists!

We just want you to enjoy the newest product from Lastoke, the Lastoke Personality Evaluation (Online Edition). Fans of the original Lastoke Personality Test will love the new one just as much, only now it is in a compact online form.

Just answer the below questions honestly, visualizing yourself in each situation. Make a selection, and write down your answer. At the end of the evaluation is an answer key. You know what to do: tally up your score and post it in the comments section so you can remember for tomorrow, when we'll post the answer key and you'll finally be complete and confident in knowing who you are.

Here we go:

Question 1
You are planning a trip across Europe. You have distant aunts in each of these cities. Which do you choose to visit?

a) The loud and obnoxious, but rich German aunt from Dusseldorf;
b) The finicky yet humorous Italian aunt from Tuscany;
c) The crass yet accommodating Belgian aunt from Bruges; or,
d) The smelly but generous Portuguese aunt from Lisbon

Question 2
You have now picked your destinations but are deciding the means by which you get there. Unfortunately, you realise that all major modes of travel are booked, and only the following are available. Which do you choose?

a) Hovercraft with a disgraced Russian cosmonaut;
b) Hot air balloon with a eccentric German mountain-climber;
c) Jet ski with the last Canadian Olympic water sports champion; or,
d) Jet-powered Rickshaw with a wise-cracking Chinese driver

Question 3
You’ve figured how to get there and now you’re dealing with border security. A border official looks at your passport and says “This doesn’t look like you.” You inspect it yourself and realise you’ve mistakenly brought your 12 year-old sister’s passport. Do you:

a) Show them a little areola;
b) Distract them with your stand-up comedy routine and hovercraft / hot air balloon / jet ski / jet-powered rickshaw away before they notice;
c) Implicate your driver in the most recent theft of precious art to draw the attention away from yourself; or,
d) Slip them twenty of your finest Benjamin Franklin’s and hope it’s enough

Question 4
You’ve reached one of your destinations but you suddenly realise that you don’t speak the local language, and you desperately need medical care. Do you:

a) Start comically impersonating the local dialect in the hope that they will find you funny and help a brother out;
b) Find the nearest phrasebook and try and navigate your way to the hospital;
c) Use International Sign Language to say “Get me to a hospital, I think I am dying;” or,
d) Slip a cabbie a twenty and scream as loud as you can, “DOCTOR, DOCTOR! ARRIBA!”

Question 5
You stop for some eatin’ but realise you’ve lost your wallet and can’t pay for the five-course gourmet meal you’ve just ordered. Do you:

a) Tell the kitchen that you can work off the cost as a wise-cracking dishwasher;
b) Grab the nearest dead thing and throw it in your food, then ask for a refund;
c) Eat faster than you ever have before and bolt from the restaurant yelling, “DOCTOR, DOCTOR! ARRIBA!” or,
d) Murder everyone in the restaurant and eat their food as well

Question 6
You’ve finally arrive at your aunt’s house and you realize that the disgraced cosmonaut / eccentric mountain-climber / Olympic water sports champion / wise-cracking rickshaw driver has lost your luggage en route. Do you:

a) Forgive them and hope that your aunt has a few spare clothes;
b) Punish them by implicating them in the recent local precious art theft and hope prison is kind to them;
c) Pay them a little extra to retrace your steps across Europe and find your luggage; or,
d) Kill the driver and hope they give you clothes and a toothbrush in prison.

Question 7
Your trip is over and you’re flying home. You have several airlines to choose from. Which do you take?

a) Nowings Airlines;
b) EasyCrash;
c) Drunken Jet; or,
d) OH MY GOD, WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE Chartered Airlines

Answer key: Q1(a=10, b=5, c=15, d=0), Q2(a=15, b=0, c=10, d=5), Q3(a=15, b=5, c=0, d=10), Q4(a=5, b=10, c=0, d=15), Q5(a=5, b=15, c=10, d=0), Q6(a=10, b=0, c=5, d=15), Q7(a=5, b=10, c=15, d=0)

Remember to post your score in the comments section so you don't forget. Awww, I just realised that that won't work if you post anonymously...too bad...I wish there was a way around that, but shucks, what can you do...

We'll post the answer key tomorrow that'll turn those random numbers into meaningful if a little impersonal interpretations of your deepest personality!

Also, HIP members, remember to send us your full addresses so we can send your blow-up sheep as soon as possible.

Stay cool!

John from Canada

P.S: That "Stay Cool" was for the HIP members only. Sorry regular members, but if you want some of that lovin', you gotta post. Keep chillin'!

Windows with John

Today was another indoor day for us as we continued the mad hectic scramble to have everything prepared for operation Chu Chu Thunder. Needless to say that the list of things that need doing is slowly lessening.

In other news our new HIP section is finally complete! This amazing new addition to the site will allow HIP members to access secret content that is both hilarious and entertaining. The new addition includes never before seen videos, pictures, and funny witicisms courtesy of John and Stuart from Canada. HIP members will need a username and password in order to enter the HIP section of the blog. All passwords will be sent out via email, please do not tell ANYONE your HIP password. If others want to join the exclusive HIP then remember that the only way to gain a membership is to post more then 20 times on the blog.

Fireside Oops

Hallo!

So today Stuart and I enjoyed a home-cooked meal thanks to the Bhopal family, whose connection to us we will not disclose in order to remain as mysterious as possible. Nonetheless, the salmon was delicious as were the strawberries and cream.

That's right, people. Strawberries and cream. What did you have for dinner? Quiche? Sucks to be you!

In other news, my beard hates me, for real. It's itchy and uncomfortable and giving me a rash. But I love my beard so much and it just doesn't love me back. We're going to couples' counselling on Wednesday.

If any CouchSurfers are reading this, host us!

And final story tonight, my hands are kind of sticky. That's what she said?

Cheers,

A Secret Secret Park Party

As those of you who have been with us from the beginning will know a Secret Park is a fenced in area within a city centre that is only accessible to people who pay a fee to become a member of that particular Secret Park.
On numerous occasions John and I have made a point to both break in and ridicule secret parks, both for their ridiculousness and snobby nature. Today however, a new era in Secret Park pompousity has begun. Today John and I witnessed a Secret Park celebration in which various fun activities accompanied by music are engaged in. This celebration, from what John and I can deduce, is to celebrate how much better Secret Park members are then everyone else. They use fun games, free food, and music to show anyone passing by how great it is to be in the Secret Park and how lame they are for not being in a Secret Park. This has made me hate Secret Parks even more.

In other news John and I have begun a wonderful new section of the site which celebrates those viewers who have shown extreme dedication to lastoke.ca by commenting and supporting John and I as we desperatly try to entertain people. Those viewers who have commented more then 20 times on the website will become permanent members of HIP. Which of course stands for HUGELY INVOLVED PERSONS. This section will involve all sorts of awesome stuff like special HIP videos and awesome lastoke bonuses for all members. Stay tuned as we will try to have the section up as quickly as possible. Maybe even on monday!?!?!

The First three HIP memberships have been appointed to:

  • Dabble and the Mad Sow, now HIP01
  • Nathan, now HIP02
  • Alex, now HIP03

Impossible Jam

Hello everyone,

Today I want to tell you about a miracle. A miracle with all the wonder and marketability of the events of the Bible. A miracle...of jam.

Yes, you know it. The very stuff you spread on your English muffin, usually not on toast, and never on bagels (I mean, who could imagine jam on a bagel?), has been blessed by the limitless ingenuity of Messrs. Stuart and John Von Canada in a secret European recipe that makes the impossible possible.

It is so awesome and so awe-inspiring that we have decided to name it Impossible Jam. Like regular jam, Impossible Jam can be obtained only via an intricate system of aunts and boutique country jam stores, and will almost always sit in the back of your fridge for an inordinate amount of time before you finally get in that mood for English muffins again.


If you would like your own Impossible Jam, simply send a cheque or money order for £200 (99p plus £199.01 S&H and finder's fee) to 2 Chester Street, Edinburgh, UK EH3 7RA within the next two weeks. You will receive a half-eaten jar of Impossible Jam within 6-8 months.*

Jammie dodgin',

John from Canada

P.S: Please note also that Stuart from Canada shall henceforth be called "Bolo".

*Lastoke Industries will not be liable for improbable or possible Impossible Jam. Berry Berry, Mega Berry, and CosmoBerry flavours not available. All sales final. No refunds. Lastoke Industries will take no responsibility for Impossible Jam lost, damaged, or stolen en-route to delivery point. Subject to additional fees as warranted.

Project Choo Choo Thunder

Hey everyone!

Are you getting bored of your job as a chambermaid for a bunch of drunken women? So are we!

Stuart and I made the decision a couple days ago (around about the time we changed our banner and intro page) to cash in on living in Edinburgh and do what we came here to do - or rather, part 2 of what we came here to do, the first being living in Edinburgh. Actually, more like part 3, if you count those four Cockney children we adopted...their tiny accents still make me laugh...

But enough about Billy, Willy, Millie, and Tom. We're going travelling!

In a couple short weeks, barring some horrible accident involving a angry Cockney parents and my spine (or for that matter, any other sort of horrible accident involving my spine), we will be enacting a plan so daring it requires a code name...Project Choo Choo Thunder.

So saddle up, cause we're goin' to Europe!

Still confused? Watch today's video for Stuart from Canada's Official Project Briefing.

Godspeed,

A Cryin' Shame

Today is a cryin' shame as it is the end of a number of things. It is our last music monday, as we've discovered they are incredibly work intensive. It is also the end of Kevin and Nathan's visit to Scotland. John and I had a great time seeing our Canadian friends and drinking more then normal humans should. Thanks for comin boys but we are glad to have to back commenting again as well.

In other news in case you haven't noticed our main intro has changed as well as our banner. If you can't decipher the meaning of either then you'll have to wait cause we will have more on it later.

To tribute Nathan and Kevin's visit we dedicate this music monday to them. Please enjoy the tear provoking messages of: The Friendship Song.

This is a Song for Fraaaands,
