You'll Have Been Everywhere, Man

Not since Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters has such a group of whacked out weirdos hit the highway. Some folks over at Humor Bloggers Dot Com are jumping aboard a magic bus of mirth and taking a virtual world tour to the cities where a dozen or so blogging buddies reside. Stay tuned in the days to come for updates. Here at nonamedufus we're going to be showcasing Aylmer, Quebec and, just a stone's throw across the river, Canada's capital, Ottawa.

FrankLeeMeiDear is the brains behind the bus tour. He's the creative force behind our trip. Check out his site, I Probably Don't Like You.
