I would choose the next best thing, New Zealand. It's remarkably beautiful there and populated with such attractive, charming people.

Why, thank you, Hugo! Not to mention the air's cleaner than most other places in the world.

One more time: Leonard Nimoy's sulky sister. That's impressively creative.

Actually, that's bloody great, mate! I'd be pretty damn pleased to see something that creative in critical reviews about my work. You lucky bugger.

I could think of a few creative names to call you, if you'd like. :>

Well, this journal has a PG audience, so some things had best be told in private.

I can do it right now, but let me warn you that I sing like a fish:

Biiiiiiiilbo! Biiiiiiiiiiilbo! Bilbo Baggins!
He's only three feet tall!

Hugo, if I didn't know you better, I'd say you were using the copy/paste function for that response, changing only the names.

Slacking off on the debonair department there, Hugo. My heart weeps.

What? What is this copy/paste function? *innocent*
