miamisammy29 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 We stayed at the "House That Love Built" until it was overrun by Gangstas and Pimps, who would regularly Shakedown the owners, forcing them to close on New Year's Day. So, it was time to Shuffle Off To Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't. We were eventually rescued by Jacques Cousteau in the Calypso and taken to safety in Old England Town. (How's that one?....THREE Chris DeBurgh references in a row in one paragraph!

Lucky Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) While looking for the House At Pooh Corner we were told by The Old Man Down The Road to take a left at The Seven Bridges Road, and continue on to Main Street. He said we'd find the Teddy Bear Down On The Corner. By the time he was done it just seemed to be a Ball Of Confusion.
