This morning's press briefing by the Malaysian PM was very vague, some indications of continued radar pinging with continual westerly flying at a lower altitude and seemed to suggest some type of hijacking. In line with RA1's thoughts.

I've been waiting for RA1, with his expertise and vast knowledge to open a thread and post with thoughts and updates as needed.

I 'd just like to know about the crotch hair and around in the back between the cheeks. I am all out of cinnamon floss and the red color would get me a bit closer without needing to buy more. I do like to economize.

Oh stop already. Nao mijar na minha bota e me disse que esta chuvendo. I say this to Cariocas and after about thirty seconds of thought they crack up laughing. HI-LAR-I-OUS!!! In this day and age, and after the past thirty plus years, do we still need the lectures and even more, do we need these unsubstantiated rumors? And if Mr. You-Know-Who really wanted someone, he could afford to pay whatever it took too turn whoever's head, even PR2K's fantabulous, straight-as-SF's Lombard Street,the Marvelous Marcelo. The boys might protest publicly but in private they are bidness whores turning tricks to pay the rent, support the girl friends and kids. sometimes tuition bills. And lest we forget, supplements and steroids. Translation: Don't piss in my boot and tell me it's raining.

Jodie Foster's orientation? As the Coppertone baby, not one to shy away from a bit of nudity? After all, she has flashed her boobies in Nell and The Accused. So, how so? Please explain. A two-time Academy Award-winner for best actress in a leading role? A mother of two? I really do not understand this comment.

Featuring the classics: “There’s Nothing Like A Whore” “Easy To Be Hard” “All That Jizz” “Put on Your Happy Finish Face” “A bush and a peck” “Old Man Balls” “On The Street Where You Work” “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta my Crotch”

I'll just keep my fingers crossed he doesn't start trolling at the gym where my guy works out.

Some of the craziness of the characters and the situations shifted to the other side of the equator. This review is from: A Confederacy of Dunces (Hardcover) This book is quite simply a comic masterpiece, a novel brimming with original characters, absurd situations, and at its heart a blustery, vulnerable mama's boy named Ignatius J. Reilly. He is one of the most startlingly original characters in modern fiction, and his efforts at hitting the job market after his mother smashes their car will leave you in stitches. A word on the history of the novel is worth mentioning here. The author, John Kennedy Toole, committed suicide in 1969, and his mother found the hand-written manuscript in her son's papers. She brought them to a publisher, who dreaded having to read even a portion of the work and to notify Toole's mother that it stunk. Instead, he was blown away by Toole's draft, and the rest is history. The novel earned him a posthumous Pulitzer Prize, and it is universally hailed by critics. Trying to summarize the plot is impossible - the book cannot really be categorized. Ignatius is an over-educated oaf who stays home filling his writing tablets full of his offbeat musings on ancient history, which he plans to organize and publish some day but which presently reside all over his bedroom floor. Rome wasn't built in a day he reminds himself. He cites in footnotes, as authority for some of his offbeat opinions, papers he had previously written and hand-delivered to the local university library for inclusion into their archives. He watches dreadful tv shows and movies, howling at the screen with a mixture of delight and loathing at the teenybopper drivel, and in the privacy of his room his self-gratification is performed while imagining visions of the old family dog. And wait til you see him out in public, getting a series of odd jobs, including a filing clerk at Levy Pants (with very innovative filing techniques to avoid crowded file space) as well as a costumed hot dog vendor wandering around the French Quarter in a pirate costume. All the while he begins work on his latest opus, The Journal of the Working Boy. There is a latent sadness to the plot, for while you are laughing out loud at Ignatius, his bowling-addicted mother, and the motley crew of skillfully drawn supporting characters, you sense that he will never really belong anywhere, and that he realizes his outcast status with his innate intelligence. Perhaps the author felt the same way in 1969, leading to his own suicide. However, at least Toole did leave us A Confederacy of Dunces, a novel which reveals more with each rereading. Keep it on your shelf, and every now and then pick up the book to any page and marvel at the absurdity of Ignatius's grandiose ramblings, read exerpts of his bizarre historical writings, and revisit his comic efforts to organize a worker's revolt at Levy Pants. The list goes on and on. There is no work of litereature like it I know, and my only regret in reading Toole is the sorrow felt in knowing the tremendous body of work that was lost when he ended his life.

Once more... With Gusto!!! And you really do not understand what is going on. The problem with overbuilding of football stadiums is a national problem with white elephants in Cuiaba, Manaus and Forteleza for a start. FIFA only asked for 8 locations, max. Lula and his cronies, are the group who pushed for the even dozen host cities. Not Paes and Cabral. And when the Olympic Stadium roof arches were built with smaller-guage steel arches, neither Cabral nor Paes had yet been elected. Did you know that since Rio was awarded the games, that a majority of the other states have hijacked much of the oil revenues from the pre-sal that the e-governor Cabral and Prefeito/Mayor Paes where planning on using to finance the major rebuilding of the Port District? Let alone normal government operations? Although not born here, I am a resident of the city for many years. And you? Selectively reading one report in the NY Times and coming up with some half-baked conclusions makes you the expert that Paes should be consulting? Maybe you need to read up on the subject a bit more to increase your "knowledge" perhaps? Oops, my bad. Attempting to elucidate a "confederacy of dunces."

Another problem for Mayor Paes to deal with. Hardly of his own making. Arrived back in Rio de Janeiro yesterday from a short trip to the US of A. Large hills of garbage all over downtown. The garbagemen struck for higher pay. Three plus day strike just when they were most needed. Great timing. A wonderful way to show a city full of tourists the great way Cariocas handle things during an international event. 9% raise for them. Combined with other raises for the bankers, the teachers, the police and the firemen, inflation is definitely rearing its head in a noticeable way. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-26429380

USAir had a fare sale last week which I found through Kayak. $850RT GIG-ORD for the last week in APRIL so there are possibilities.

Very filling, lowest calorie and most satisfying is my boyfriend's hard dick. However, lacking that opportunity, sweet potato is much better for you than a regular white potato. I call an enormous BS on the need for animal protein. Not true. And the worst are the saturated fats from pork chops, sausage and bacon. Much preferable is a roast pork loin, thinly sliced. Lacking the enjoyment for a roast/boiled/grilled skinless, boneless chicken breast, try either of these two favorite recipes. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/aug/27/vietnamese-lemongrass-chicken-recipe http://thaifood.about.com/od/thaicookingessentials/r/Thai-Basil-Chicken-Stir-Fry-Easy.htm And these recipes can be made even healthier and lower-calorie by converting them into an Asian-style salad by serving them over a wedge of iceberg lettuce, grated carrot, thinly-sliced cucumber, chopped cilantro and a splash of Newman's low-cal asian ginger dressing with a dusting of red pepper flakes.

Those of you not here have no clue as to what is actually going on. #1: How in the hell can a mayor solve the problem of a lack of doctors in this country, let alone this city, to keep a hospital woth even one doctor on staff 24/7? #2: Are the problems of previous administrations his problems to solve in a matter of 4 or 6 or 8 years. Is he to blame for the regional water company failing to connect the sewer systems of the whole region to the newly built sanitation facilities so raw sewage doesn't run directly into the ocean and the bay? This is a matter for the past three governors and the current and past two presidents. #3: Here is a country, with a much-praised, even celebrated past president for not even being a graduate of a high school. Only a strong union leader. Brasil is back 50 plus years from the US in many respects where it is considered a huge thing to graduate high school and PASS the national testing of knowledge learned. Post, we are talking mainly technical schools and not four-year colleges and universities. Where do the teachers come to educate an enormously expanding base of children needing education? These are problems endemic in the whole country, not just Rio de Janeiro. What exactly can Paes as the mayor solve? What he is attempting to accomplish is build an entire new modern business district on top of something much older and much larger than what Boston wasted billions on with their "Big Dig."

I know that Lurkerspeaks likes his galetos or baby chickens. In the city the are now getting between 18-26 Reais for a plate with broccoli rice and molho de campanha - basically a non-spicy pico de gallo. But to give a basis for comparison, chicken breast - boneless, skinless - was under $2.00/lb. Big difference in price for the average Rio resident.

Less-wealthy Cariocas never take taxis. All residents are entitled to a Bilhete Unico. The "only card" transit card gets you a second mode of transit for no extra money to a bit more depending on the modes used among buses, trains, metro, ferry boats. Rio residents love to complain about everything increasing in price, but when the card came into effect about a year ago it was a great cost savings. There was a great hue and cry when eggs and tomatoes went sky high last year but now that they have gone back down, ditto on garlic, no one seems to be happier. Eggs here right now are about 1.40US/dozen so not bad. I think the most popular food item at McDonald's is the casquinha - ice cream cone. Cheapest thing on the menu basically. Whether the chain is McD's, Burger King, Bob's, Giraffa's or KFC, most residents don't patronize them. The food options and cost at the por quilos/kilos are just too great and a better value. One just needs to check your watch for the time and the menu outside the door which lists the varied prices per 100grams and at what time the prices change. Usually 11:30-Noon is cheap time and then either after 1:30PM or 2:00PM which has the lowest price points. Many por quilos might be at 2.20 or 2.40 after 1:30PM. The more expensive ones usually will have some fancier meat choices. Picanha and filet mignon instead of alcatara, for example. But every one will offer grilled chicken breast, chicken or pork sausage grilled and a few types of beef with lots of healthy veggie options. If you can get a great plate of food for lunch for 15-20Reais, much better than a small combo meal at the chains for 20-25. One final mention as to food, fit Brasilians eat food and consider it as fuel for the body. The 1st world ideal of food bringing us pleasure or whatever - not here. And the base on the plate for everyone is rice, beans, farofa and some sort of protein. A fish filet, chicken thigh and leg or breast, beef, eggs and cheese, whatever with veggies. The fatter people you see now - we believe it is the invading US consumer culture with processed crap that it causing this - chips, hidden fats, etc. Brasilians are like turtles - they can carry everything on their backs with a backpack. It is almost like everyone you see has these growths on their backs. As well as an added colchonette or foam rubber sleeping mat. Money on hotels - not. They travel, sleep with whomever they might faintly be acquainted and unroll the foam and go to sleep like sardines with one beside the other, more often than not, head to foot. Right now with Carnaval starting soon, there are even more of these tumors than normal.

Hey. And Tricky Dick did save Israel back in '73. Put 43 in last place among this above list and one of the worst, if not the absolute worst president ever. Can someone tell me even now, over ten years after-the-fact, why he and his group of neocons actually chose to invade Iraq.

Dunt nose nutin about birthin babees mz scarlett and fo shu asz noz nuttin bowt slaves massah, but Cate don gum win in two weeks. Please don't flame me. Trying to be a bit funny and reference Miss Butterfly McQueen and my feelings that 12 Years A Slave probably will win for Best Film. But anyone who thinks that the Oscar will go to anyone but Lady Cate is sorely mistaken. The manner in which she reveals some of the internal emotions of her character is incredible. Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren, let alone Sandra Bullock need to speed on down to Aussieland for some acting refresher courses. The three of them phoned it in for Iron Lady, The Queen and The Blind Side in comparison.

Well, I'll believe until my last breath, or last dick in my life that I attempt to inhale that at least among the Canadian male skaters Elvis Stojko is straighter than I-94 through North Dakota. On the other hand, Brian Orser bends more than Lombard Street in San Francisco. Can still remember the "Battle of the Brian's" in Calgary 1988 and joking not who was the bottom and who was the top, but who was the biggest bottom. Hmm..Just Saying.

Looking at the photo, Meio Mundo really is a pit. At one time, with the new addition, it was on the upswing. Not now. For those put off by the photo of the street, keep in my that the building on the left of the street is the headquarters for Souza Cruz, one of the largest insurance companies in Brasil. And at the corner on the right in the photo is the management headquarters for ElectroBras's nuclear division in Angra Dos Reais. So not as derelict of a neighborhood as the photo might suggest.

And lest I forget, pay attention to 19 year-old US native, Jason Brown. With that choreography and the pony-tail, we are talking true figure-skating LADY BOY!! I just know he has a tramp stamp above the hard-as-steel butt cheeks and a full selection of lingerie to put even Johnny Weir to shame.

Come on, you guys. Show me some pictures. I'd love to see any Japanese or Thai guy hung as well as my first lover. I shit you not - 8 1/2 inches SOFT. Okay? Mixture of Scots/Irish and Cherokee.

err....umm. Doncha (helloooo Ms. Palin) mean polymygodism?

Sorry AS, but I strongly disagree. Harold Bloom it is not. Most definitely is my husband, as I scream to my God in ecstasy when impaled on his most holy member.

Tell me more.
