What's going on this week? Any cool design bookstores or gallery shows? Any hot spots I should be aware of, like live music venues or opium dens?

There's a public stoning on Tuesday that you simply can't afford to miss.
Oh and the frankincense is dirt cheap, don't forget to stock up.

what's the yemenian punishment for stoned in public? 30 hours community service?
- kingjulien0
thanks. yeah, i heard about the stonings. i wonder if they have will call, or is it first come first serve? (ticketmaster better not have a monopoly.)
also, does anybody know about thecoffee that's brewed with cat feces? is it worth $10 a cup?
- GreedoLives0
i think the punishment for just about everything is losing some body part or another.
The best part about the coffee is the goat milk you get to squirt in there yourself, so it's definitely worth the $10, at least once.

I wonder if we can score a tank, like spur of the moment. The misses and I want to explore the countryside a bit, maybe check out where they filmed Jewel of the Nile.
Dammit! Where's the little boy who sold us the iguana jerky?
- GreedoLives0
forget the tank, go skeet shooting with RPGs. That's where it's at!

yeah, the stonings are lovely. a cousin of mine went there and sent me this beautiful postcard.
if you pay 60 bucks you may have a go at it yourself, but alas, he saved all his money for the fecal caffee..

the public announcement flyers and posters for the stonings are legendary in terms of local graphic design.

Who could forget about Yemeni Design! It's so distinctive! And it ends right at the border! Omani design is soooo different!

I've never seen such excellent use of wingdings. It's been quite an epiphany.

Just think how many pounds you'd lose if you were Korean.
- Crouwel0
i only lost my dignity and identity in korea.
that makes up for hardly one ounce.

I don't even have to leave my cubicle to lose my dignity.
Cuts back on the travel expenses.
- GreedoLives0
What's a dignity?
- Crouwel0
we don't have cubicles here in this part of europe.
n-korea for me gave me that true cubicle feeling, on a nation-wide level.
quite an experience.

I had to drink a lot of cranberry juice when I returned from Korea.
Wait, that was Tijuana.
My bad.
