First we talk buses, then public transport and the crushing thereof by vested interests, I talk about Chicago's cable cars and tell him about the trolley system in <i>Changeling</i>'s LA, then a brief chat about Clint Eastwood and he ends up recommending some film about the stoning of an Iranian woman.<br /><br />I tell him I've had it with anti-Muslim propaganda and the next thing you know we're in amongst wars, banks, 911 (not that he was particularly ofay on it) and then lo-and-behold he's telling me that the only people who are worth listening to are Ahmadinejad and Chavez and that the US is completely beholden to Israel. Blow me down!<br /><br />People bag out Americans but the likelihood of me having a conversation like that with a random Australian is so close to zero we may as well call it.<br /><br />Anyway I jump off the bus, log in here to find your note, and I the first thought in my head is <i>See! That's what I'm talking about!</i> You know what I mean?nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067422372087431256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356283281909852148.post-39236556420986306542010-10-16T08:11:02.261+11:002010-10-16T08:11:02.261+11:00...I was in darkest america with Kai, we went to A......I was in darkest america with Kai, we went to Austin Texas...<br /><br /><br />erm... naaa that's just the lower 40 ;)... darkest 'merikuh is dallas:P cuz shrubya lives there... shriveled heart of darkness ...of the evil empire west...<br /><br />heehee...<br /><br />austin's pretty cool...othr than the capitol crap.... college town... bats undr the congress st bridge.... rolling hills......:)<br /><br />big d just generally sukz. unless you're into shopping, footballbaseballhockey. <br /><br /><waving frm the north 40....kikzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647064395400783134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356283281909852148.post-80612396528675719582010-10-14T10:20:02.507+11:002010-10-14T10:20:02.507+11:00Ha ha ha ha ha, oh man.

Especially given that most of the shaojie in there are actually laojie.<br /><br />(For those who don't know, shao = young, and lao=old, and jie=lady. Oh, and apropos last haiku, maidan=bill. Thus 'shaojie maidan' is the inevitable cry at the end of any Chinese meal. Feel free to try this in any Chinese restaurant you care to mention).<br /><br />And mole eh? You don't have a good recipe for black mole do you? I had a girlfriend who lived in Guatemala for three years and she cooked it for me and it was like I died and went to heaven.

This one is a bit more Titanicy but near enough :-)<br /><br />Did anyone else have the cartoon strip called the Perrishers? It was about a group of ragamuffin kids and it ran in the Daily Mirror for years but I haven’t seen it since I have been over here. Here is a conversation between Wellington, the smart one and Marlin who was truly thick. <br /><br />Wellington “I must go down to the sea again<br /><br />To the lonely sea and the sky<br /> <br />And all I ask is a tall ship<br /><br />And a star to steer her by”<br /><br />“That was Sea Fever”. <br /><br />Marlin “I hope it’s not catchin’.<br /><br />Wellington “No, no, you can’t catch it, it was a bit of Masefield”<br /><br />Marlin “It sounded more like a bit of poetry to me”<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br />Romance and carnage<br />Twenty years before the mast<br />Aye, aye, there she blows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356283281909852148.post-40728460268917082662010-10-11T16:37:56.883+11:002010-10-11T16:37:56.883+11:00the filth of the world
