my first attendance at a wedding

w00t!!! the day finally arrived when Kaos & Southn_Comfort got married (12.12.08)

One thing I have learnt in my short life so far, is that when females have a few drinks, they like to put me in their cleavage - not that I'm complaining!!!! Here I am with Kaos, just before we went for a ride in a stretch limo.

I was so excited when Kaos asked me to walk her down the aisle with her Dad....I'm near the ribbon of the flowers

At the reception I got to sit with some other Toggers!!! I got to catch up with Wayfarer again - it's been a long time since I stayed him & his family!!! I also got to meet Bugsquash & Fox.
Here I am with the rest of the people at our table (Kaos & Southn's neighbours)
Here are all the Toggers that were there: (Back) Fids, Corpse, Wayfarer, Bugs, Fox (front) Kaos, Me (Haggis) & Southn

Under the BAD influence of my fellow toggers, I used the salt & pepper shakers to get into the red wine....hmmmm yummy

with the red wine in my stomach (hehehe pun intended), I got a little cheeky - I wanted to give Southn a surprise!!!

I crawled up Kaos' leg to hide in the garter (that was really a hair scrunchie, complete with a flashing Xmas tree, as they had misplaced the original garter)
I got to ride home with Southn & Kaos in a super stretch limo, that had to do an 18 point turn at the end of their street to turn around!!! hehehe it was quite funny.

I then saw more than I really wanted to as Kaos forgot that she had put me on the bedside table when they got home......I really didn't need to witness the marriage being consummated.

Southn & Kaos then had another 2 BBQ's, the day after the wedding so I could see Way & Bugs again. I got to meet Bugs' children, I also got to meet Tiger74. At the 2nd BBQ I got to meet Raven, Mettleking & Mettlequeen & Mettlekids, MoC, Ebola, Resonic, Torty & wife. I was glad that they put me on the "bbq'd bbq" after the flames had gone out.

So after an action packed & eventful 3 weeks with Kaos & Southn, it is now time for me to get back into my sleeping bag & be on my merry way again. My next stop is to the Australian Capital Territory, to visit with Snagrom & Melski.

Stay tuned for more Haggis adventures. GAME ON!!!

Brisbane, Australia - again!!

As soon as I got my very first invitation to a TOG Wedding, I was on my way again. I made sure I travelled first class so to get to my next destination on time. I found myself back in Sunny Brisbane, but this time it was not so sunny - I dont like thunderstorms or blackouts, but Southn_ Comfort reassured me that all would be ok.

For my first outing I sneaked into Kaos' bag when she went to the Brisbane Law Courts (I thought she was going to try & get me permanent residency, but apparently I have a few more years of travel left in me)


Here I am with Southn_Comfort outside court 6A


Southn & Kaos then took me on a boat ride across the Brisbane River - they told me I had to stay in Southn's pocket so that I didnt become bull shark bait.

My next big outing was to Kaos' Hens Night (bachelorette party). I felt so privileged to be the only token male allowed to attend this 'Secret Women's Business'....but I think I may need therapy now!!!

I was a little worried when Kaos came out with pink hair



Halfway through the night they changed Kaos' crown.....I had to get a closer look...OMG I think I blushed a little when I realised what they were, but it's too rude to put a photo up.

I thought you had to be in the water to go surfing....but Kaos introduced me to something called trolley surfing
I thought Kaos was so nice when she said that she would give me the house someone had given her.....I thought "finally a home of my own", then I found out that it was a gingerbread house.....in the gutter!!!!

I think I need some time to recover from that night!!!!!

We then travelled to Alma Park Zoo....We went with some of Kaos' friend who were visiting from Chicago - I told them I had stayed with MotherFlanker there - they live about 30mins from my TOG buddy.

I had my photo taken with a lot a strange animals
Peacock:
Koala:
some strange bird that is a relative to the emu:
Then I met Shrek's friend - Donkey:
Kaos held onto me real tight, as Bambi gave me a kiss:
Kaos said I was a real heart breaker, as all the animals loved me & either wanted to run away with me or give me a kiss:
but I didnt want to get too close to the mouths of some of them:
this zookeeper had to save me from the BIG olive python
& Kaos had her thumb on the crocodiles head while I went in for a closer look:

When I heard someone yell out "A dingo ate my baby", I got a little worried & asked Southn if he could take me home:
It has been an actioned packed few days & I'm exhausted, but the excitement is building in the Southn/Kaos house, as there is only 4 more sleeps to the BIG event, & I'll even get see a few more of my fellow Toggers.

Until next time....GAME ON!!!!
