The League of Gentlemen Adventurers

Gentleman Lee stars as Sergeant at Arms in this podcast during which the Gents, with great dash and cunning, fool themselves into thinking that they know the first thing about relationships with members of the fairer sex.

On the Agenda:
1. Opening Toast, served to you by Gentleman Hunter.
2. Open Discussion on the subject of relationships (of the romantic persuasion).
3. Words of Advice: “You’re not dating him,” brought to you by Gentleman Lee.
4. Letters from Gentleman Jesse, the first in what we assume will be a series of dispatches of Adventure from the City of Angels, read to you by Gentleman Hunter.
5. Closing Toast, served to you by Gentlemen Gregory.

Yesterday, my father was up here in LA, visiting me and picking up his visa for an upcoming trip to Shanghai. Lunchtime was coming up, so naturally I checked the Twitter feed on my phone.

The new rage here in Los Angeles is food trucks that park somewhere in the city, and then tweet their location to foodies citywide. I scanned my list of food tweets – Korean bbq tacos, the Indian Dosa Truck, etc., – and then a tweet caught my eye. “Try our new fois gras burg!” from the Grill Em All truck, parked just a few minutes away in Hollywood.

That seemed to embody the LGA maxim, “If it’s worth doing, then it’s worth overdoing.” So we hightailed it out there. And, wow. Let me tell you – you have not lived unless you have tried the fried egg, potato chip, and fois gras burger they call a Lars (named, I assume, for the esteemed Mr. Ulrich).

Gents, next time you’re in LA, check it out.

Quam bene vivas refert, non quam diu.

For those of you who know how embarrassing it can be to have everyone see your luggage, you’ll also know how much Tennessee seemed to enjoy showing it off. For you, the LGA Office of Propaganda presents this shirt.

For those of you not in the know… you’ll have to go back into the archives and listen to this.

This shirt will first be available at our First Annual Invitational International Croquet Tournament and Symposium! If you haven’t yet, write in or comment on the Tournament post and we’ll save you a spot!

We at the LGA Manor are pleased to invite you (yes you!) to celebrate our good humor and generous hospitality for the First Annual Invitational International Croquet Tournament and Symposium!  This exclusive event will be held in beautiful Balboa Park in San Diego, California on Saturday, April 3rd 2010, at 11:00am.
