    LUCKY

    Maybe someone has been rawdogged and left out to dry in no particular order.... sticky, shitty and sweaty?
  2. Thinking on 4 nights in Santiago, and then to Vina, Valpo and/or mayba Vale Nevado
  3. Picture It: The Bar Mitzvah Boy IS Giving His Speech. He starts the spiel about gay marriage. Suddenly..... Flying at him from the balcony, dozens and dozens of wigs from the women in attendance. He was stupid enough to try to give his speech in a Lubovitcher Chabad. Can we give a joint Oy Vay?
  4. After watching the speech, got me to thinking as to what type of rabbi would permit this speech in his shul on shabat. Reformed, of course. I'd love to see this speech before a conservative or orthdox congreation and see ans hear the responses..
  5. I'm taking the boyfriennd(?) there next week. Anybody been? Fun things to do? Vineyards? Valparaiso? I wanted to go to the Atacama as well. But I was afraid of sleeping at 2500meter elevation and the sights in Chile and Bolivia are at over 4000meters.
  6. Yesterday's O Globo had a report that the city is now going to try and "pacify" the Complexo de Mare. This is the favela tha use pass just as you make the turn towards the airport right before the university on Fundao Island. They think that 4 UPP stations will be enough?
  7. You don't have to wait that long. The World Cup is just around the corner. I have neglected to post anything concerning the roof collapse of the Corinthians of Sao Paulo new stadium, the ITAQUERAO. Two workers were killed. A crane collapsed, took one end of the roofing structure and then landed with the fatalities. They authorities are supposed to conduct a full investigation before repairs and completion. And this is all supposed to happed by the end of December. The stadium in Manaus is also doubtful to be fully completed and handed off by December, but most likely sometime before the World Cup is due to start. Cuiaba's building is even further behind. If the use it, only probability is without a completed rood to cover the seats.
  8. So one trainer favors the fur pie while eating at the Y and the other goes for the franks and beans. My kind of show.
  9. The term FAROFEIRO comes from the families that hit the beach and bring everything with them, even if need be on rolling luggage carts. Even the "farofa" to accompany the rice and beans. We're talking food, an ice chest or two, beach chairs, umbrellas, maybe a tent, toys for the kids. EVERYTHING! They come for the day, spend nothing with the vendors who work the beach and leave at the end of the day all of their mountains of trash as little remembrances/lembrancas of their visits on the sand. I know from experience as the families come here right in front of my home every nice day during weekends and holidays. Oh, and by the way, no one and I mean no one, NOT EVEN GRANDMAN, would think of paying even 1Real, to use a bathroom. Everyone goes in the water, pulls down their suit and poops or pees. Verdadeiro Farofeiro. True ........... Living my entire life in Chicago, we were accustomed to going here the symphony on summer nights at Ravinia in Highland Park or in downtown's Grant Park, bringing a picnic basket and listen to the music, Some folks even would go overboard and have their outdoor suppers catered. In the past, I have tried to explain to Cariocas the idea of a catered, gourmet picnic meal. Impossible.
  10. Like me, another "farofeiro" to whatever degree. A fa-roh-FAY-ro is someone who brings things (food, beverage, ice chest, chairs, umbrellas) to the beach with them, rather than paying the rental people. I've had three Brasilian boyfriends who considered me very declasse. The idea of a picnic basket does not fly here. It really depends on which barraca one chooses to settle. For about the past 3 years we have been going to Barraca de Miriam, a very mixed, older clientele with very few barbies, hardly ever the smell of grass. We tried Sonia or Vania closer to Posto 9 once last week, We went back the next day to Miriam. I feel much more safe and secure at Farme at Ipa than at Copa as the beach is not as wide and we are much closer to Ave. Vieira Souto.
  11. Basically they are only tearing down the Perimetral section by section as they open lanes of the Binario Tunnel and the Via Expresso which runs from the Praca Maua almost to the entrance to the Santos Dumont Airport. Túnel Binário has open sections at the Port Connection between Primeiro de Março Street and Praça Mauá is part of the three-year countdown to the Rio 2016 Games. Tunnel will be 1.480 meters long. This Monday, 5, Rio’s city hall inaugurated the first section of túnel Binário, between Primeiro de Março Street and Praça Mauá, downtown. The implosion was part of the three-year countdown to the opening ceremony of Rio 2016 Games. The tunnel will be 1.480 meters long and will connect Primeiro de Março Street to Antônio Lage Street, next to Moinho Fluminense. The intention is to have it ready by July, 2014. The open section is of 440 meters and will allow more flexibility in the works. To the mayor, although the section is not yet in operation, it is time to celebrate. - We are three years away from the Olympic Games and it represents a recovery of downtown Rio, said the mayor. This photo is taken directly a short block to the east of Meio Mundo. I am only surprise that combined with the fragile nature of the structure and the blasting, along with all of the vibrations TomCal and his groupings provide, that the whole place hasn't CUM tumbling down. The Binário do Porto Road is being built at the same time as Avenida Rodrigues Alves, and is 3.5km long. Each direction has three lanes and several exits towards Downtown. One of the directions connects Novo Rio Bus Station to Avenida Rio Branco. The other goes from Primeiro de Março Street to the entrance of the Gasômetro’s viaduct, which is under construction. Binário do Porto e Via Expressa (modernization of Avenida Rodrigues Alves with the implantation of another tunnel) will replace Elevado da Perimetral and are expected to increase by 27% the capacity of traffic flow in the Port Region. The mayor recalled that they will start bringing down Perimetral in the second semester of the year. To the director-president of Companhia de Desenvolvimento Urbano da Região do Porto do Rio de Janeiro, Alberto Gomes Silva, the opening of the tunnel will speed up the work even more. Symbolically, the opening of túnel Binário shows that we are on schedule. Besides, it will accelerate the construction and improve work conditions, declared the director-president of CDURP. Mayor Eduardo Paes also highlighted that the tunnel is very important to the city, but declared that the city hall’s priority is to provide the center of Rio with LRTs. But the area won’t be revitalized only due to traffic e commercial buildings. The mayor reported that a bill of tax incentives for residential projects in the area of Porto Novo should be sent to the city council - A city without a center is a city without a soul. From the total of new buildings in the port region, I want 40% to 45% to be residential. I want people living here, stated Paes. Share on Facebook Recommend on Google+ Tweet Send through e-mail
  12. Note: Pairs, not dance. However, I always thought Ingo was so friggin' hot. I wanted to be impaled on his currywurst. The hell with Mandy, I wanted him to be throwing me around instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69I09KjWBnk
  13. Perfection from about 30 years ago. He was one hot policemen who could have clubbed me anytime with his nightstick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2zbbN4OL98
  14. I should add that the 55-7Reais to the owners of the barracas for each of the next two days was only for two of us. Not 3.
  15. Hito Sorry, but I think your heels are just a wee bit to tight. Are you forgetting Jane and Chris? Minnie and Mo? Pakamova and Gorshkov?
  16. Inflation has hit Ipa and Farme. I went there three days in a row last week and then with the holiday last Wednesday, had a full group of friends for lunch and pool time. Anyway, I was at two different barracas/tents that service the beachgoers with chairs, sun umbrellas, beverages and a menu of sandwiches and appetizers, besides what the passing vendors are offering. Guarda-Sol/Umbrella: 8-10Reais Cadeira/Beach Chair: 5-6Reais Water 4Reais Soft Drinks 5-6Reais Agua de Coco 8-10Reais Caipirinha - varied flavors 15Reais We normally stop at Zona Sul Market on the way to the beach in pick up cheese and salami sandwiches, some cashews, chips, etc and then hit the beach. So I cannot remember what each vendor charges. But the Baihana who has her two studly helpers who schlepp her styrofoam cases of empanadas and sanduiches, charges 5 Reais for a salgado. Sandwich not a clue. The enormous "sahnd-oo-ee-she-ah nah-too-rahl" woman in her dental floss bikini charge 10Reais for one of hers. The muscular acai guy who sometimes is at the saunas charges 8Reais and up depending on the size of the portion you choose. Suntan lotion is quite expensive. Much higher on the beach than at the pharmacy. And the pharmacy is much more expensive than the cost in the USA. One trick we do is to put our backpacks around the stakes that go into the sand and then have them but the umbrella into the stake. It makes it much harder to do a quick snatch and grab. They clothes we wear that don't go in the backpack we put on top of the stringers that support the umbrella. When the three of us went to Ipanema on that Sunday, I think our bill came to 111Reais. And that does not include the porcaria(think porcao or piggy)/crap we bought from the vendors. The next two days, we were at around 55-70Reais. But then we might be there for more hours than you are. Usually from Noon until 4:30PM or 5:00PM.

  18. Yesterday morning they took down about 2/3 of a mile of the Perimetral elevated highway that runs by the docks. Most who have visited Rio have probably taken a taxi along this route for the South Zone neighborhoods of Copa and Ipa. Well, next time, ain't gonna happen. http://www.cidadeolimpica.com.br/noticias/conheca-o-passo-a-passo-da-implosao-da-perimetral/
  19. I didn't want to seem like I was too precautionary, but even I got a bit scared on Sunday, 11/17/2013. I was taking the bus to Ipa for a day at the beach with a visting friend from the USA and the boyfriend. We hopped on at Praca XV and grabbed some seats towards the back. Way at the back were about 12 guys occupying the rear three rows. They looked stoned, strung out and/or drunk. One of them ask ed the boyfriend for a cigarette. When he opened the pack, the guy strongly asked for three more for some friends. The boyfriend could hear them talking softly about going to Copacabana to rob tourists that day. Then the guy who asked for the cigs got up and moved up to an open seat near the exit door, which would effectively block us from getting out. We quickly got off at the next stop and took another one the rest of the way. I received from the American consulate in Rio last Friday concerning taking precautions. Below is a report from the Chicago Sun-Times. Globo and SBT had helicopter footage of the marauders. Funny that these kinds of things can happen in the North Zone with zip international coverage, but when on the beaches of Ipa and Copa, fun time coverage. Robbers renew raids on Rio de Janeiro beachBY JENNY BARCHFIELD Associated Press November 25, 2013 12:28AM 0 0 Share 1 In this Nov. 20, 2013 photo, municipal guards chase a gang of thieves that robbed bags and wallets from beachgoers on Arpoador beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Gang raids known as arrastoes, or big drags in Portuguese, spread alarm through a city gearing up to host soccers World Cup in just over six months and the Summer Olympics in 2016. (AP Photo/Marcelo Carnaval, Agencia o Globo) RIO DE JANEIRO — With the tropical sun blazing from a near cloudless sky and waves lapping at golden sand, it seemed like a perfect day at the beach in Rio de Janeiro. Then dozens of marauding youths descended en masse, snatching beach bags and cellphones, ripping gold chains from necks and setting off sandy stampedes by panicked beachgoers. Such mass beach robberies were once a hair-raisingly frequent occurrence, but they had largely disappeared in recent years as this notoriously dangerous city got markedly safer — a trend credited to a galloping economy and police operations that wrested control of more than 200 “favela” hillside slums from the drug-dealing gangs that controlled them. But the “arrastoes,” or “big drags” as they’re known in Portuguese, are back, and the gang raids on Nov. 15 and 20 spread alarm through a city gearing up to host soccer’s World Cup in just over six months and the Summer Olympics in 2016. “What’s happening in Rio today represents a power play,” wrote Merval Pereira, a columnist for the Rio’s newspaper O Globo. “Since the police’s pacification program was put into place, the bandits have been losing control over large swaths of the territory in which they used to act and are looking to take back what was theirs.” Police initially dismissed the incidents as stampedes caused by fights, but later acknowledged they were mass robberies. Officials announced they will step up weekend beach patrols and set up mobile police posts to make it easier for victims to report crimes. Local newspapers have reported that 15 people, most of them minors, were detained following Wednesday’s incident on Arpoador beach, which saw repeated stampedes as swarms of young people swooped down on bathers and the police gave chase. Globo television network broadcast images of officers chasing shirtless youths across streets and stones being hurled at officers as they processed those detained. “People were running all over the place, and I didn’t know where to go for safety,” said Luana Santos, a 24-year-old vender of bottled water. “I was really panicked and really frightened. I hope this is not going to keep on happening.” Rio state Security Secretary Jose Beltrame told CBN radio these were the first instances of mass beachside robberies in Rio in seven years and said two of those detained on Wednesday were minors. Ezequiel Soliva de Andrade, a 39-year-old waiter at a bar on the boardwalk on Arpoador, said he holds little hope the extra policing will do much to stop the crime. “Every time the sun comes out, there are tons of robberies,” Andrade said, adding that the problem has gotten much worse over the past three months. “These guys don’t care whether there are cops there are not. They just take off running and there are so many of them going in all different directions that they’re rarely caught.” Andrade rattled off a long list of muggings and other attacks on beachgoers and neighborhood residents that he’s witnessed over the past few months. He said the crime wave is scaring people away. “We used to sell more than 900 coconut waters a day,” he said. “Now we barely sell 200.” Rio is attempting to burnish an image tarnished by violence and police brutality during mass protests earlier this year. Some 500,000 foreigners are expected to flood into Brazil for next year’s World Cup, and authorities are wary that reports of crime could scare some big-spending visitors away. Giovanni Fiorentino, a retired restauranteur visiting from Belgium, said he was on Arpoador beach during Wednesday’s mass robbery but had taken the chaotic incident in stride. “I had been warned not to take anything of value to the beach, so when I saw them running all around I stayed calm because I didn’t have anything for them to take,” said Fioretino, dressed in sunglasses and a Speedo as he defied overcast skies and nippy winds Friday to enjoy one last day at Arpoador before returning to Europe. “It’s going to take more than some kids snatching purses to ruin my vacation.” Rio officials hope so.
  20. Garoto = Boy Garota = Girl Garotao = Big Boy. What some people here call my 90 pound dog. Garoto is also the name of a popular chocolate company produced in Vila Velha/Vitoria Espirito Santo Totally friendly. Boy, Puto, Miche and Bicha or Bicha da Rua much, much less friendly and def more insulting
  21. Register now and post on Badoo and Gaydar and you night find someone before you even arrive. Manhunt and Disponivel are more for hookups. YOu never know what might turn up
  22. It's drivable and doable in one day from Belo Horizonte round-trip. We left early from a neighborhood not to far from the center of the city. We got there about 10:30AM and left at about 3:30PM. We lad a large lunch just outside of the park at a great, family style of cooking, with lots of great dishes. Comida a Caseira. However, there are a number of snackbars and at least two full-serve restaurants inside the park that even offer a full-breakfast/brunch if you get a really early start from wherever.
  23. Tomorrow's lesson: Different girias/slangs for dick.
  24. Many ways to use the noun that might not be translatable Voce quer dar (sua bunda)? Do you want to bottom? Quero chupar sua bunda. I want to eat you out/rim you. (or) Vc quer chupar minha. Do you want to lick mine? Eu gostaria comer sua. I would enjoy fucking yours.
  25. One of the most memorable places I have ever visited in my life is Inhotim. Just a really special place. Here is an article direct from the NY Times. Between the architecture of the various pavillions, lush gardens, permanent sculptures and varied temporary installations, amazing. And not far from the park is a really good traditional Mineiro restaurants. If you never have, their farofa is transcendent. http://intransit.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/11/08/in-a-garden-in-brazil-a-biennial-show-at-instituto-inhotim/?emc=edit_tnt_20131109&tntemail0=y&_r=0
