Two Things: Red vs. Blue (Not a fan of the new stuff) AND a New Photo of RLH 39...

The FINE, FINE, FINE folks at Rooster Teeth are brilliant.

Red!

Ever since catching "Real Life vs. The Internet", I was hooked... I ended up watching every Red vs. Blue video following Sarge, Donut, Grif, Church, Caboose... all the "guys"...

vs. Blue!

If you've never treated yourself to these movies (made by using the video game, Halo - Combat Evolved in a process known as Machinima,) take a few minutes out of your online life to laugh yourself senseless by watching "Real Life vs. The Internet" and then, if like me, you enjoyed it, go to Rooster Teeth's main page and watch some of the videos offered...

That said, I can't say I'm a big fan of the new "mini-series" offered named Out of Mind which, sadly, is not offering the same amount of whacky humour... at least, the first three are not impressing me.

Still, I'm open to rebuttals... is anyone who's already a fan enjoying Out of Mind? So far, the only thing that's made me slightly giggle is the guard who, when blown up into the sky yells "Crrrrriiiiiiiikeyyyy!" and when he lands with a thud on the ground, simply says, "Bollocks!"

Beyond that, I'm left a bit cold... and missing Sarge and Grif.

Okay, if you managed to get through yesterday's post without giving in to the urge to simply say...

...and click off without reading...

...and you read about our "second plan" should (God forbid) RLH 3 get scrapped, sold-off, or worse... we would see about RLH 39 which is in Lake Havasu City, Arizona...

RLH 39

Well, I was VERY pleased to see a new picture of her on the RLH Information Centre Website which, sadly, is new and I don't have permission to post here... but have a "boo" by clicking here (opens new window).

Again, don't get me wrong... Regent Low Height Three (click here - opens new window) is our main goal and the bus we have our sites set on... and are genuinely in need of help rescuing (see the bottom of this posting for details)... but I do like good ol' RLH 39... and if I thought I could, I'd be trying to wrangle her too!

...but we'll all be VERY happy if we can snag RLH 3...

RLH 3

Three RLH buses...?

Nah, Sue and the little one would kill me!

RLH 3 is our bus... and we hope to rescue her from Santa Rosa, California where, indeed, she's currently in a barn being used as a garbage tip.

I'm gonna beg at the bottom of the posting as usual, but please... rescuing Regent Low Height Three is very important to a whole family... and for many, many reasons...

RLH 3

If you have some time, please click here (opens new window) and read why this bus is so special to us... and perhaps you can help us rescue the bus, make a dream come true, and save a piece of history all at the same time...

Please help us save one old dusty green bus... and make a dream come true...

The usual last note on the old blog... PLEASE SUPPORT THE DREAM!

Please don't forget about our pixel ad site, HelpCoverTheBus.Com and our PayPal donation button (see the upper-right hand side of the blog) and, of course, the NEW Cafe Press shop for T-Shirts and shtuff! (...and who doesn't need some shtuff!)

Please help us make this dream a reality and save a piece of history!

...an entire family would thank you!

Allow me to start with we do not own nor are we selling a bus. Just had to get that out...

This blog was started in April of 2006... during a very bad time for me and my family when money was very tight and life was very hard.

We maintained a happier outlook on life by fantasizing... talking about what we would do when times were better... and as Sue and myself are Anglophiles, England factored greatly into our "plans".

During these bad times, while looking at news items which, at the time included items about London removing their venerable old Routemasters, I came across one photo of an old green bus... and somehow, my whole family adopted it. It became very much "our bus". (Details about "our bus" are available by clicking here.)

Like most of you, I'd heard about the fellow who'd made a million dollars selling tiny ads online... and the fellow who did trades and turned a paper clip into a house... so I thought, since we couldn't make our bus actually into "our bus" (well beyond our means,) I'd try an "online" appeal... to make the focused item of our hopes into a tangible thing in our lives...

More specifically, in a burst of adult/juvenile optimism, I had hoped to show the youngest member of the family, who at the time was still very youthful and impressionable, that dreams really could become reality if you hope and, more importantly, try.

Well, I'm pretty sure you figured it out... we had limited succes in this venture... and the youngest has now reached an age where she is more traditionally "teenaged" cynical than much else about the world, which isn't a dreadful thing... but there's a "good news" portion to this... our personal situation with money is better, life has improved, and some people really liked my rambling here... so, I decided to keep things going... Yes, I will "give up" on asking for help on a bus... and have to give up on even trying as hard to get the bus through online means... and yes, be far more realistic... but I don't mind this "turn" of things as I actually enjoy venting, trying my hand at humour, and generally keeping on online presence outside my usual things.

Thanks to those who were/are "Busly Dream" enthusiasts... I suppose that our buses for now will be single-deck with the letters "TTC" emblazoned on them... but this blog will live as does our dream! (It's just a little quieter on that latter bit...)
