What ho, old chap?

[climbs_everest]

Well, it appears that this is a party, what? Dragging me out of retirement from retirement, as it were? You won't find me lacking - I'm up for adventure all the time, as you know. As Betty Grable once said to me, I'm a fountain of adventurousness. She also rather liked my legs, as I recall. So did Lucille Ball, back before she met Desi.

But don't rush it, old boy - go back, watch more of me and Diana - I could do with that, too, it's always a lark to watch yourself beside yourself, isn't it? - and Geoffrey and that heinous Marion, and all the others. An adventure down familiar paths.

Figure me out again, then find me something to do, people to meet, worlds to explore. You know, like every Tuesday afternoon.

Do you have many adventures, sir?

A fan I take it?

[climbs_everest]

Oh yes indeed, m'boy, yes indeed.

Why, just this past monday I climbed Kilimanjaro. Gotten rather bored of Everest, you see.

Just a bit! It was my favorite part of the PBS british comedy line up

Goodness, that must have been quite interesting.

Be careful when asking for 'new people to meet'.

[climbs_everest]

Absolutely.

After that, of course, it was a journey to Shangri-La. I was twenty-three when I started, you know, but time passes differently there.

No.
