An absolute ton of prizes have been collected so far, more everyday.
The route is nearly finalized
Quizzes are in the making
Music CD is finished and playing in my MINI.
Now then ....
Does anyone want to meet a Denver Broncos football player?
Would a pop music star tantalize anyone?
What about a chance to win a bunch of cash?
We start in Louisville, but where to go from there?
North, south, east or west or perhaps all the above.
Has anyone ever gone on a Yalla Yalla and never returned?
Does anyone know the average airspeed of an African Swallow?

No. I'd rather meet a Colorado Avalanche player

Rick
p.s. No fair scrambling our brains BEFORE the ride!

Well perhaps the route actually goes though San Diego - you never know.

There will be about 4 hours of navigation, searching and word-play. Let me just say right now that this year the route will not, repeat, will not go through San Diego (I know - I shouldn't give out such blatant clues). Also for the record, should any Yalla Yalla participant find themselves finishing the event in San Diego; you should probably call me so we can stop worrying.

Now back to the swallow: I pass to the experts: http://www.style.org/unladenswallow/

BTW - Has anyone picked up the clues from the Yalla Yalla poster yet?
Hmmmm .... would have thought it was obvious.
An Avalanche player huh, well let me work on it. Need to call the Bronco guy and tell him we don't care to see him. Too bad because it was a package deal with a cheerleader. Oh well, perhaps the Avs guy can bring an octopus or some ice or something.
I'm also assuming every one likes free things like food and drinks and motoring swag, but then again I thought everyone liked the Broncos too. Boy was that cheerleader hot.

But don't worry, I've called her and told her that we don't want anything to do with them.

I find it simply incredible that the average cruising airspeed of an unladen European Swallow is 24 mph. Now throw a cheerleader on it and the speed suffers a bit, but still 24 mph unladen - wow.

I would have never guessed there are 33 Denver Bronco Cheerleaders (from what I've read, none have European Swallows as pets).

Is anyone else worried about Chuck?

Has Alberta been away for an extended time...or...was any picnic fried chicken from China?

I'm just working my way into the Yalla Yalla mind-set.
For example can Kevin Bacon really be linked to every other actor with no more then 6 connections? Does that include the cast of Monty Python? If so wouldn't that link Kevin Bacon to European Swallows?

Pound for pound, which is heavier - a hockey player or a European Swallow?
How about if they are both on the moon?
What about if we replaced the hockey player with a cheerleader?
Is there a connection between Kevin Bacon and Yalla Yalla?

Dazed perhaps.

Jonathan, picture say's Kansas. Nice picture.

This is sounding like a fun Yalla Yalla.

Yes he did that just to be funny - didn't work.
While the KC football team may well have lucked out and beat the Broncos, I'm willing to put money on our cheerleader's ability to barbecue the KC cheering squad.
Our Bronco cheerleaders are not only very attractive, they are tough as nails too. This could have been easily observed if I had not been asked to uninvited them to Yalla Yalla. I offer as proof:

Cute as a button but can bench press 275 lbs.
