My Response to UltraMantis Black and his demand for our bus to help his Neo Solar Temple...
My Dear Dark Overlord,
The Order may "wish" to commandeer our bus, RLH 3, for it's nefarious uses... and although we may be inclined to agree with MUCH that the Neo Solar Temple wishes to accomplish, I'm afraid the answer is an emphatic NO.
Now, before you threaten me with your man/monster/beast Hydra, never let it be said I'm not a "fair man"...
Whilst in my studies, I've located a bus FOR YOU that's already seems to be ready for your purposes... RLH 13 is currently missing and was last seen in Leiden, Holland in the late 1970's.
Now, I had a look at the image from Holland of it... and got to thinking...
Perhaps THIS is the answer...
With suitable armourments and a jaunty bit of your decorative bunting, not to mention some "interior alterations" to accommodate the other members of your temple, I do believe RLH 13 would suit your needs far more than our mouldy-old RLH 3.
Now, if you INSIST on attempting to "commandeer" our bus, beware... we do have something... a DANGEROUS powerful icon... and we're NOT afraid to use it... do NOT make us break out The Great God Gazooki...
...combined with the AWESOME strength of my wife Sue and the terror that is known as our dog Max, we've been known to humble adult moose and entire families of beavers. (Remember, we're Canadian, eh?)
So, although I know your a very busy man... I put it to you... go with your attempts to commandeer our bus... consider a JAUNTY method of travel for the ENTIRE order with the FABULOUS RLH 13 (cool number to boot, eh?).. or go with what what's behind curtain number three OR, just to be interesting, you can also choose what Carol Merrill has in the box!
THE CHOICE IS YOURS, ULTRAMANTIS BLACK! Choose wisely, good sir...
Namaste,
Matthew James DidierP.S. - As two of Canada's leading paranormal investigators, you said that you would be wrestling via telekinesis... needless to say, we wish to study this and document this massive event of important paranormality.
Here endeth my response.
NO! MY RESPONSE DOES NOT END HERE!
While I was INNOCENTLY posting away my rather DIPLOMATIC response to UltraMantis Black, one of his "order" had the GAUL to add this...
Okay, now in honesty, Hydra is one of the strongest, most "ripped" folks I know... in fact, I don't know if he's truly "well", in certain senses... it honestly looks as if he might have elevated liver enzymes, if you know what I mean...
NO, Hydra, NO DISRESPECT INTENDED of course! It's just that you are an AWESOME specimen... and yes, you intimidate me.
STILL, this is MY FAMILY'S DREAM VEHICLE and I feel obliged to DEFEND IT!
Now, I ask you to read my GENEROUS proposal to UltraMantis (above) and kindly reconsider your... um... appetite for our vehicle.
The standard last note on the old blog... PLEASE SUPPORT THE DREAM!

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...)
