I kind of like the weekends off of Art. I use them to re-listen to shows I want to hear again, or re-read Art Bells autobiography obviously

I find myself listening to old (90's) shows on the weekends.
I'm still constantly finding ones that I've never heard before.

I remember eating at the famous Red Sea restaurant in Wash. D.C in 1977(!!). The bread P_B talks about reminded me of Nerf foam material, but it tasted wonderful, as did the sauces and stews (none of which I recall specifically) which I picked up with it to eat.

I do remember an awkward feeling of how all us overfed Westerners must have looked chowing down on a single meal that was probably the caloric intake equivalent of 4-5 days of sustenance for the average Ethiopian. They are a tall, very slender and spare people, almost delicate, with very sharp cheekbones and almost sunken eyes. Fat is virtually unknown to them. While I enjoyed the food, I can't say I was comfortable there.

This is how I feel on those occasions when I go to a little Korean shop for pedicures. I feel like the archetypal Ugly American. But I try to remind myself that these pedicures do provide a source of income for the owner and people who work there and, please O Great Universe, no one was forced to work there. And then I tip well.

I had the same thought about Ethiopian cuisine, but again, it's providing a source of income for the owners and staff and maybe, if I don't sound too naive, a source of pride as well to show off their culture. This modern world is complicated, no?

I've found that these new shows become even more and more interesting upon each relisten.  When I'm posting on the live thread and playing video games or whatever during initial broadcasts there's always stuff I miss... even if you're listening intently sometimes your mind may wander.  The LMH appearance has put me to sleep twice but I really liked alper, kaku, and even Vague's show on relisten.  Soon I want to relisten to the Vague show again since my first two passes were before I knew about any of this BS.  Heard it live and then the next day I guess before i read his remarks mentioned here or on fartbook.

The people that run the cafe's around here aren't exactly skinny.  And I'd be hard pressed to find friendlier people. 

Most if not nearly all our local population are from the runaway province of Eritrea, which is now an independent country, having fled the wars and the events leading up to the wars.

That's gotta be a released circus bear that roams around that dude's place. But keep in mind he has more impressive motor skills than most of us do.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, boy, hypochondriac in me don't need to hear that.

Can't go on the smell alone; the Gandhi Urine Taste Test is the definitive diagnostic tool.

Does this differ from the Sardondi Golden Shower test?
