Has anyone here ever read Round Ireland with a Fridge? It's the true story of an Englishman who made a drunken bet to hitchike around Ireland with a refrigerator in tow and his exploits and the people he met. Well, it got me to thinking that, since we are going to England in June, it'd be an appropriate time for Toasty to take his first (known) trip abroad.
So, whoever has him, would you kindly consider sending him to the land of his birth so that Toasty can make the trip with us? I promise that he will be returned to you upon our return to the States. (Or, if Toasty's current foster family happens to be anywhere near Chicago, BP and I will be there from April 6 - 9 and could take temporary custody of him at that time, too, if easier.)
Many thanks!
Michelle/LM
Never read the book
but your recount of it called to mind the time I traveled around the USA with my (now) ex-wife years ago
only I am confident that the fridge was far less obnoxious to people met along the way and easier to travel with
and held less food
sadly I cannot plead drunkenness for that
I too have wondered where Toasty wound up
Didn't Toasty get toasted at DIMBY last year?
hoodlums!

Is it being held captive in the foul clutches of some TOB member?

There was some talk that the Hoosier Hooligans were holding it.
(I dont have toasty-but i have a story)
When we were in Italy...
we were in a moto bar (Biker's Ranch, Billabio) for my birthday.
The bar owner brought us a round of champagne served on a billet alum 916 wheel (as a gift)
i spent the next 4 days getting on/off trains, buses, cabs...carrying my luggage and a moto wheel
there werent any exploits, just funny looks.
The wheel is still here, and has now been named The Albatross.
Pic of toasty incase we see it.

If he won't see this thread then , yes, please.
I think Toasty offed hisself after his prolonged captivity in Ohio
That would do me in.
Message sent.
Good or bad news. Either the DRILL guys (already in IL) have him or *gulp* Jud.
Would be nice to have Toasty here for West Coast DIMBY if that doesn't mess with LM or BP plans ;D

Toasty was about to take off with Randal, but he then ran away with the DRILL group instead. Toasty is somewhere in the state of Illinois now.
We would need proof of life....
a photo of Toasty next to a current newspaper
to actually determine how to proceed
