What the hell is a Falucca(Fah-loo-kah)?
Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon- this pita is way dry.Well, its what I went a little ways down the Nile in. Fair to say it would be referred to as a "sloop" in other parts. Was nice though, Mahoumed Ziggy(our captain) and his crew escorted us for three days and three nights on the river. They also fed us(pretty well) and gave us tea and coffee. We shared the boat with 10 people the first night, 6 the second, and just the two of us on the third.
Jordan and I were party to a party when on the first night the boat anchored off of a nice beach- had a fire with palm leaves, Nile-chilled beer, and lots of music. They're Nubian down south there- at least an Egyptian-Nubian mix- they love their drums and singing and dancing and they did this for us every night. The bamboo sax even entered the scene. Then fell asleep with blankets on the beach under the stars with the infectious Nubian rhythms in my head.
Yes, it was a good trip.

palooka (puh-loo-kuh)
noun, informal and dated
1) an inferior or average prizefighter.
2) an stupid, uncouth person; a lout
Palooka, eh?
Would a palooka use the article "an" in front of a noun that started with a constant or an "a" instead? Oh, you, big Balooka(Bah-loo-KAH).
Love the picture on the website with the undies- actually used that this past winter for promoting a band in Mcmurdo. "Full Cotton Wedgie" was the name. Yee-hahh..
Git biking....

What's a nubian?
If anyone knows what movie that's from you win a camel ride and probably a hump sore.

"What's a nubian?"
"Shut the f**k up!"
Even more amusing while the boys are in Tatooine.
Not sure of the movie....
but notice how I'm the camel man, which makes you, Tron, my beast of burden. Now you see the hump is on the other hand.....
What's a nubian is from Chasing Amy.
Chadwick! Leigh just pointed me to your pretty litle space here on the web. The pictures and stories are great, though you have less hair on your head than I remember. Apparently, there's more on your shoulders.
Anyway, just wanted to drop a note to let you know I'll be checking out your progress as you solve the middle east peace process.
Good luck, and it's great to see you alive :-)
