Nope... :)

But I think if you took the many hours here to explain what you saw, what you heard, what you liked, what you didn't like, and what you thank, We would all "thank" you for telling us all on what we missed. :)

Paul the thought of a lowlando cop wailing on you with a night stick as his partner maces you for jaunting thru the neighbor hood wearing the weiner gourd, is just like the ultimate most shcking video dream come true!!

that shows kinda lame, and I think its a little bit exploitive, I see enuff people living in squalor that will croak from preventable disease when I am in mex!

the jungle shots are nice but I am more of a smoking gun, you tubes greatest pwnage moments stuff, if I am going to be entertained by otherpeoples pain and suffering and deplorable circumstances, I want their to be an edgy guitar overlay, and some decent cleavage here and their, not that old nasty 25 year old jungle gal that looks 90 cuz shes had 6 kids,nursed a pig and cant kick the stomach worms she gets from eating rotten food, as she squats and smokes smiling with her one good tooth because she doesnt know about toothbrushes and mouthwash!

Paul, in all honesty I like the show. In fact I have a longtime college buddy that tells me he knows the area because he went through there 15 years ago. It is actually on the Indonesian side of Papua (Irian Jaya to you and I Russ). Anyway, his stories fascinated me so I decided to do the other side and hit Papua New Guinea and went up the Sepik River. Plenty of "weiner gourds" there too.

Dewd, when the po-po had you down what was worse? the mace? the taser? or the new friends you made in county while modeleing your gourd?

whats wrong with girls gone wild? single artist mothers need supporting too, and I like watching how they live, er dance, and best of all, no gourds!!

Tad,

I like the T shirt. It sort of reminds me of life in Brazil.

I did not see the program, but I am sure I would have enjoyed it. I am sure it is not all that far removed from some of the aspects of life in Amazonia.

I just feel bad for those people, and like I said I see enough of that crap in real life!!

true story, when I was working down in Mex close to Mante, there was a little kid named timoteo, he was like a shadow at the produce shed i was running, left town one day came back about a week later....where is my tocaillo?(we have the same name)...translated his cause of death was "the air hit him wrong"

they had no clue what he died from, he just died, I HATE THAT SHIT!!!!! I have seen enough of that crap in real life, the jungle shots are nice but thats about it!

i'm sure yer right,don.

in the last episode one of the brits who was living with the tribe mentioned that even tho the beliefs of the tribe seem ridiculous to us,

western beliefs are just as ridiculous to them.just goes to show it all depends on yer point of view. :winkie:
