There has to be one of these, doesn't there?

stehvelo] Far-flung mentally or physically? Or both? Anyway, welcome aboard.
In response to your move, I'll straddle maniacally to Korppaanmaki.
Kiitos! Saunakallio is my local station from which I avoid tangential momentum by trundling south with my personalized quadrant equations to Tikkurila. I've a plane to catch. Korppaanmäki has never been straddled before by anyone, let alone maniacally, according to the 2005 MC Intergalactic Compendium. Congratulations!
stehvelo] Probably only managed it because I couldn't do the umlaut. Anyway, I should be able to bring us back to this realm with a quick Alperton / Amersham stabiliser.
Massive accrued spin and residual momentum still available even after queuing to exchange eurotokens for the local variety at Heathrow Central.
Walthamstow Central I think. careful now.
Perivale. I think.
Perivale station is great. A good view of the former Hoover factory, that 1930s art deco factory of the future. Currently occupied by a supermarket, apparently. Picking up 5 culture tokens and using residual momentum ("Maa-innnd tha FLAAAAN-dge!"), I swoop tubularly to Piccadilly Circus for the lights.
Careful stehvelo, they are setting a trap. That's the last advice I'll provide. Knerdling to Chalfont and Latimer.
I'd better move away from Chalfont & Latimer then as I've stood there for ages. Morden, *token flipping* ahoy!
Frisbeeing a culture token to IJB for preknerdled advice, gratefully acknowledged, I emulate the Hopkins Progression and digress to Covent Garden. For the mimes, natch. Ooh b*gger! 'Oo stole me walle'?
Leaves me free to move ellipsoidally to Oxford Circus for the Dreaming Spires and clown costumes.
Theydon Bois again, sorry.
Ah! The Hopkins' Flange (note the apostrophe - she came up with it not only after the Progression but also her unfortunate but amazing accident) takes me to... let's see, my chart says Euston Square.
Declaring Shenanigans at Burnt Oak.
*cough* Oval!
*russell* Square!
Tuj, you have a chart? *Hendon* Central!
Whisperer] *cough* No. FaRkLe, and here's 30 silver podumes for you.
hey why don't I get handouts? Lewisham.
With the Periwinkle pejorative as my guide...Chalk Farm
inevitably leading me to *PeriVale.
Ah ha! Invoking the Sixty-Fifth Perorgative I can thus use the Green/Green Lateral loop moving to Wood Green and jumping with the double twang bonus to Cockfosters.

BZZZZZT! Repetition! But Rayners Lane will do me whether that last move was valid or not.
Euston while we're waiting to find out.
Caledonian Road seems like a good option from here. Now, if I can just avoid creating a vortex on the way through Holborn...
Dropping Line Velocity to 1.5 from 15 with the intention of causing board rotation as a result of kick-back inertia. This should take me off on a diagonal and shift me to the adjoining paraboloid, hopefully leaving me resting at Harrow on the Hill with the rest of you in confusion.
Not only in confusion but also in spoon. I shall retreat to Morden and await developments.
CHalfont & Latimer, waiting.
Have just been shunted into a siding at West Harrow. Come on, who was it?
innocent - I was quietly restacking my podumes at Southfields.
Out of shunt by shuttling to Rayners Lane.
Bank - L.V. generally 2 rising to 3 shortly.
Finally I'm able to re-enter (this is only my fifth move in this game despite playing the 9th move back in January 2003), Boolbar's Gants Hill really knocked me out ... two years I've been sitting on the sidelines waiting to play Oval ! Phew ! At last !
You're not leaving much choice for a new fellow! Earls Court I suppose then, despite it being a junior move.
Skittering to Wanstead. Sorry Blob, I don't think that does much for you, but I had to secure the potential peach podume point on the diagonal at Homerton.
I'll just drop in here with Colindale.
Employing Watson's Strategy to take a diagonal to Baker Street thus impeaching the Jubilee Line to the river.
Dropping by with Clapham Common to sidle out via a broken ticket barrier.
London Bridge, bonuses applied for (six week wait expected).
[Blob] I see you are back! Gants Hill
Boolbar] Or at least was... Pudding Mill Lane, knip invoked on IJB.
Ouch! Heading South to Green Park to chill out, leaving a Henderson Expansion as a parting gesture. Deal with it as you will.
The 1833 Half Scrotum to Battersea Park. (...Not very inventive, though)
Hmm. Kentish Town, hoping my scrotum is a whole one.
What are you people on?
[Efros] The 18.42 from Sanity, calling all stations to Madness Junction.
Calling Kathmandu Time with a line to Timbuktu
The Dark Side of the Moon
Ooh, a tough one to follow. I'll have to bifurcate to A Night At The Opera/A Day At The Races.
Going mad with Locust Abortion Technician / Trout Mask Replica
Taking my prudhommes to Piccadilly Circus where I intend to go to Starbucks.
EUSTON!!
Angel
Inexplicably found an orange podume, so on to Canada Water. Hey, don't shoot the messenger.
Ah, remembering Stratagem 3: Revenge of the Stovold I'd have to pick Morden.
day? night? dark? light? That leaves Temple on the right.
A rather rapid Victoria.
out of patience, Blackfriars
Not again... Tooting Bec
En route Paddington
back to the Circle with Sloane Square
missing the point completely, BANK!
Aldwych please
(Still awaiting developments four months later) *Farkle*.
I'd better °farkle° as well.
Turnham Green!
