heading to the main land via tender boat

i love broken columns

the public toilets...yeah

this would have been the housing complex

overlooking the town center

a central well tucked between some houses

the town amphitheatre which holds 40,000

the BEST public toilet sign i've ever seen in all my travels

a public toilet so comfortable you will want to wear slippers and a bib while eating.

mike - 10/24/07 23:14
haha that is an awesome sign!

mrmike - 10/24/07 10:39
The public potties look "mighty" comfy.

greece...no wonder they have nice bodies
Category: travels

Greece was absolutely amazing! My body is still in recovery mode. It was one hell of a workout! Even on a cruise ship with 5 buffet meals a day I managed to lose 5 pounds and I think my ass and calves are tighter than they have ever been. I don't have the time to really get into my adventures with this post but I will drop a few teaser photos.

I really want to give a BIG HUGE THANK YOU to (e:metalpeter) for sending me SPOT coffee beans! I got the package today and it was such a wonderful surprise. Efharisto! (that's thank you in Greek).

jenks - 10/23/07 10:03

libertad - 10/22/07 21:29

metalpeter - 10/22/07 18:11
First of all that last picture is really cool looking. Secondly I'm glad you had a good time. 3rd you are welcome for the coffee beans, I hope I got you the kind you like the most I wasn't sure what kind to get from spot. I was going to e-mail you today but I forgot to let you know that something was on the way, glad you got it before I sent the e-mail.

shennanigans
Category: pranks

Since everyone had already left on their holidays and I still had to work through the weekend I thought...it's time for some office shennanigans. The big cheese will come back to find his office like this :)

museumchick - 10/14/07 12:17
that's so awesome!

fellyconnelly - 10/14/07 10:27
haha great joke!
yeah i too hope that he has a good sense of humor...

and that he isn't one of those 'don't waste office supplies' kind of guy...

jbeatty - 10/14/07 10:08
Nice, when I worked at the repair shop every now and then we used to glue one of our coworkers tools to his bench for amusement.

metalpeter - 10/14/07 09:48
Hope he has a good sense of humor. But more importantly I hope he has time to fix that or work around it. A few people at my place do stuff to each other but I don't. For two reasons. 1) I don't have the time to do pranks on other people and can't have them prank me back and then take more time away from me from working. 2) Where do the pranks stop, eventuly as they get bigger and bigger someone may cross a line that they shouldn't. I'm not saying don't do them. I'm saying I kinda wish I had the free time (not that I would) to do them. In any event that is funny.

I once covered a friend's car with post-its on a particularly bad day at work...he was NOT pleased with this "joke" we played. We also wrote funny messages on them. Someone from his office asked him if he had pissed off some girl and she was getting revenge.

what should i be for halloween???
Category: potpourri

I need your input dear estripers. If you know me, you know I love Halloween and usually come up with creative and well prepared costumes. I face interesting obsticles on my path to Halloween happiness here in Doha.

1. I cannot be too obscure, or the people here simply won't get it.

2. I cannot dress like any male character as it would be found offensive.

3. I don't do the trashy hooker outifts anway, but I cannot even wear cool outifts that are too skimpy. In other words, unless I do a camo pant or snow version - I can't do Lara Croft (nor do I have the time now to pull off one of those versions).

4. I don't want to be too generic, i.e. a witch, zombie, vampire, etc.

5. I don't have access to thrift stores.

The things I have going for me are:

1. If it's simple enough, I can sew it.

2. My creativity can help me find alternate materials for producing the costume.

So what do you think? Suggestions!?

You could go as Trashie from the Fraggle Rock? I may be going as Trashie to the PMT party - but you are on the other side of the planet so we can be Trashies in parallel universes!

orchidiamond - 10/10/07 22:20
is there anyone that would do a group outfot? I mean like...one year 4 others and myself dressed as a deck of cards (4 queens-1joker) you could do a fork,spoon,knife--that kind of thing? or perhaps a super monket?! hehe

metalpeter - 10/10/07 19:50
So you can't dress as a male and as a women it can't be revealing that really cuts out a lot of ideas. I was going to suggest something along the lines of a Video Game Character but I don't know as there are any with those two guildelines you could dress as How about someone from the Wizard of oz either Dorthy or either of the witches. Yeah I know those are kinda lame but that is all I can think of, off hand in terms of actual people as opposed to an idea or concept costume.
