Entertaining read but should never be considered for Best Trip Report Ever.
After all....even an idiot can make up a story.

Nor would I call the person who invested their creative energy to create something so memorable an idiot. Although I guess that here currently the high water mark for best report includes seeing how much alcohol one can consume or how self-deprecating one can be.
^ to tfjim's points here. The irony of the posts in this thread poo-pooing the Leeds-Whitby "TR's" perfect sendup of the preciousness that infuses so many TRs is remarkable. And I am glad that I am apparently not the only one who finds the celebrations of gluttony and overconsumption of alcohol in some TRs disturbing.
