And on the seventh day, God said let there be orangutans.
Actually there were orangs on the fourth day, too, but they were sick and I felt bad for them.
Went to our two hard release camps today. These are for orangs who have been orphaned, injured or in captivity. We rehabilitate them and then release them into the wild but with support (that is...

ramos! naked beach betties and apes. what a combo. love it.
Today was mud skippers, mud up to my knees, coconut milk off the tree and a sadly dead porpoise.
I think it is safe to say I am not in freakin' Kansas anymore.
Apparently, "Hello, mister." is Indonesian for "Hey, look, a white guy.", and while you may not having running water, you can nevertheless get a NY Yankees bucket hat. Sorry Boston fans, even...

Geez, I've only been here three days and I'm already misusing gerunds. I guess I've gone native.

so, let me get this straight.
if my boss gives you a back rub and a six pack, you will throw him down a flight of stairs?

Greetings from your Far Eastern Correspondant coming to you live and direct for Pangkalan Bun , Kalimantan Borneo, where yes, Virginia, you can get net porn.
No Orangs yet, maybe tomorrow. definately lizards on the wall in the hotel though. I am now on a first name basis with the local constabulary (no, I have not yet caused an international incident) and apparently it is...

So aparently you can get SG from the airport in Korea. Good to know. No simians yet, but its amusing being out of the country again. Oddly, Incheon airport is far less Korean than my neighborhood.

I don't think we'd played outside of Philly significantly by 98, so you probably wouldn't have seen us. As to why we thought it was okay to get involved with Moon ca. 2000, I'll never understand it. It was clear things were pretty much dead when Moon took 2+ months to mail their boilerplate contract to us.

Can you bring me back a helper monkey?
I'm off like a prom dress. Take good care of the country while I'm away.

I'll try not to break the country... I won't try very hard, but at least I'll try. Hopefully we won't send troops to too many places while you're away lol... save an extra monkey for me!

"The spokesman for Berlin's justice ministry said it wasn't
clear whether it was a crime to order a dog to give a Hitler
salute and that's why that was being dropped. He said, however,
prosecutors had sufficient evidence from earlier incidents."
Some days you just don't know whether to laugh, cry, or load the shotgun.

Lord Jim is a novel by Joseph Conrad about, among other things, a young man who finds redemption among the native peoples of central Borneo.
It is also what a friend of mine used to call me when making fun of my, er, more expansive qualities.
While I am not particularly in need of redemption, I am one week hence going...

So, what was your momet of crisis by which you were later judged by a court of inequity, Tuan Jim?
Anyway, I have never thought you a coward nor doubted your steadfast and sterling qualities.
Shine on, you crazy diamond.

Interesting (if somewhat self-aggrandizing) nom de plume...
So, I voted tonight. In a fucking shed. No joke, my polling place was a prefab corrugated metal hut slightly larger than a 2 car garage.
We wonder why people don't vote, or if they do they vote for candiates with no experience, no qualifications, a mail order Bachelors, but the best haircut. Maybe its because we treat it like a goddamn joke. The governor...

One of these days i'll have to vote...then i'll have a right to complain. Whatever else i can say about you Reprobate, i know you know your stuff and you vote for what you believe and what you think is right. I'm so jaded about things sometimes it's sick and i'm only 23. You're ten times smarter and ten times more knowledgable about just about anything than i am (doesn't mean i agree with you hehehe) so how can you keep on keeping on and doing your civic duty when you see what you see in the world and in our government?
Have you ever thought of running for an office yourself?
So, what do you feel about the new site layout? I think it's aweful.

Just during the last election here, there was a story in the papers about a school complaining that hosting the vote was a burden, and they wanted it hosted somewhere else. It's not even like it happens once a week or month or something...
Today started with high tea and rare books and ended in a bar with its own resident pirate and conspiracy theory flower girl (Sigfried did it)
Along the way I established once and for all that hobo clowns were no more hoboes than fireman clowns were firemen and learned that cotton is, in fact, a tree.
All in all, a good days work.

Its actually fall-esque today. Not exactly leaf piles and woodsmoke, but I'll take what I can get
In other news the CE boards are fixin' to have a collective apoplexy. I'm strangely indifferent.

I have made my last post to the fellow whose ire is up. He called me stupid and I think I'll be too busy crying to post. Got Quicksilver if you or C need to borrow it this fall.
I want to see you soon. May be coming up for a weekend just to get out of town, quite possibly by myself. Not that things are bad, I could just use some social time.
