New Zealand is the name of the game today! So to continue the tale of Talkeetna I have to take you all to the Talkeetna Lodge. The lodge is probably one of the most hoppin' places in town. So I am there with some family members including my younger cousin who shall be referenced as cousin (original I know). Cousin is the star of this story. So I was sitting on the deck eating dinner with some of my family and cousin comes with friend, who is dating cousin's sister. So cousin and friend chat with us for a bit and as they were leaving this woman calls them over. Turns out she is from New Zealand and loves to talk. So cousin and friend (and eventually cousin's sister) sit and proceed to drink with this chick from down under. Here are the happy party-goers.
In case you are curious as to what New Zealand's shirt says...
And that first line says "feed the bears."
Anyway, so New Zealand is doing her best to flirt it up with cousin and friend or in her eyes chump and chump because after about an hour she gets up and tries to ditch the bill. Oh yes, not just the bill of the booze she drank while schmoozing but her tab from before cousin and friend sat down. This would have worked out a lot better if...#1. She didn't give her sob story of how she lost her job, was broke, and needed to save money. #2. She didn't stop and tell my uncle "what a nice boy you have." To which my uncle said, "keyword, boy." And #3. she didn't make it clear she was leaving by kissing cousin on the cheek in front of uncle while saying "cheers mate." So as New Zealand attempted to flee the scene, cousin realized what happened and doggonit, you can bet he chased her down! After capturing the female hobbit, he took her back to the bar and said pay for your tab! All the while New Zealand is going, "I'm sorry mate, I am used to being on a cruise ship where we don't have to pay." Again, that would have been a decent excuse (ok stretch on decent) if she didn't just get done describing #1. So in the end I wonder what on earth was this chick thinking? If you are going to ditch a tab on someone, do not speak to the family or make it known you are leaving, and for god's sake at least be a cougar!!! I mean she had the age down but she was not easy on the eyes. As far as I can tell she was quite representative of an actual animal native to New Zealand...the moa. What is a moa? See for yourself.
Yes, complete with cousin and family chasing her down.
