World's Tallest Dog, Now In Print

Divided by a common language Britain and America are joined by...a surprisingly statuesque canine! From the unlikely origin of Grass Valley, Nevada County, California, Gibson the Great Dane is a tall dog - so tall he has his own website, Size Matters, at www.gibsondog.com. You can even shake his paw and hear him say "I love you." I visit daily.

The Guinness Book of World Records is ecstatic. Cementing Gibbo's local hero fame into immortality, they are importing his name 5000 miles east of the sunshine state to London, former City of Fame. Gibson is top of the height game, and according to his keeper/pet, has an eye for the ladies, black and white of course. Bless the Guinness family for their book! Apparently TGBWR is the book most stolen from British libraries. As Gibbo would say: "Irony."

The most stolen book in the US is Sex by Madonna. No joke.

World Cup Surprise

A few weeks ago I pretended to my long-suffering girlfriend, AZ, that I didn't already know the score in the USA-Czech Republic World Cup game, which I did. I accidentally saw the half-time score on one of those internet pop-ups. When we watched the recorded game later, I pretended to get all excited and disgusted at the right moments. AZ didn't tell me she knew the score too. We were both playing the same daft game. Apparently she was driving and "saw the score on a TV bar screen." A likely story. Ah, the beautiful game.

Religious Hair

I saw The Name of the Rose yesterday, a film Sean Connery and Christian Slater made in 1986. Connery looks older than he does now. Slater doesn't. The film was scary but the haircuts were hilarious and made me feel a lot better about my own. Was Slater growing the perfect transplant for Connery? Cheers Italy.

Dear England

Welcome to Dear England, A Letter Home. Living in the USA, I am now culturally confused. I hope this blog will shed some light on all things American through my best British eye, and all things England in my best Yankee accent. I am an expat lost in America, a four year americanized long-haul tourist on a non-immigrant visa, whatever that means. Olé!
