When Wheeekend Jumped the Pond

When Wheeekend Jumped the Pond Postcard from London – What a raucous, rollicking (and sometimes even relaxing) bash at our English pub and inn! We performed in the British Baking Show and Drunk Shakespeare, enjoyed traditional meals and royal visits from two Elizabeths – and so bloody much more! Laugh along with our Photo Album and Uproarious Recap and other cracking good fun, below. And mark your calendars for Wheeekend next Sept 10-12, 2027. The lodge is reserved.

Tip Top, Matey

Bloody fun commentary ...  That ***** gets me every time. | MJ referring to coming upon the life-sized cutout. The five asterisks could stand for ‘queen’ perhaps. I'm going to go fluff my hat. | Vince prepping for his jester role. Oh my God I think I just peed myself. | Rebecca seeing who QE1 actually is. Just get rid of the big chunks. | Ed’s explanation of how men ‘freshen up.’ I have hot cockles. | MJ. Presumably a reference to the spice level of one of the cocktail contest drinks. I just squirted all over the table. [...]

Barb: That should be enough. | Comedy duo continues. YOS wondered if we had sufficient easel material for our Tops. That's what's gonna happen to Mike too. | After Scott said Leslie will take it hard on hearing it’s actually himself and Mike sharing the queen bed. From YOS.
