I was in Greece a couple years ago, and I saw these things all over. This one kid in my tour group, Danny, got it because he likes pooping. And monkeys.

any of you go to greece a lot, or live there, or know someone who does? if so, can you help us figure what is up with this?

today i was walking down the street in search of food. approaching me was a guy with a big bag, trying to sell pocket knives.

"pocket knives $10... pocket knives $10..."

the funny thing was that they were kind of switch blade like, and as he said this, he would make the knives blade pop out. it was a bit unnerving to see this guy waving a knife around.

i thought he missed the most obvious way of selling them.. threatening to cut people if they didn't buy one. that's what i woulda done.
i bet i could of sold some knives.

If you want to get pissed off at the US government, check out this collection of links to stories about what the US gov knew and did before Sept 11. after reading several of the articles, it makes you want to run out and jump on the conspiracy bus. or the conspiracy bandwagon. or the conspiracy bicycle. my favorite article so far is about 'the recent gift of $43 million to the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan' that the US gave them if they agreed to stop doing the whole opium growing thing.

Hey! are you listening to the happyrobot radio? does it work for you? i was having problems with it earlier, but it could just been my connection.

hey raq! are you doing well?
