I dunno, depends on your browser. In Firefox there is a setting in Tools->Options->Web Features

Quite a bump there, MsSparkie, and an unrelated one as well.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading this thread and second Slang's comments on the Pakistani people. When I was overseas, I had many Pakistani friends and they were all generous, kind, hardworking men and women. I never had the opportunity to visit, so I enjoyed seeing Slang's pics.

I'm gettin' an urge to go back now that the quake situation is under control. I would have gone back before but everything was in crisis there.

Take some time off and go there with me. It's a time that you wont soon forget.

I was gonna suggest turning off the pop up blocker also.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-27-2005, 06:15 AM

I'll third that. I have to hit the control button to override the blocker in order to manage attachments or see the rest of the smilies.

Ok, looks like a new NON IE browser did the trick.

The first one is me in the paki man dress and in need of a shave. The second one is a common truck from the city with it's unusual markings.

slang · 04-28-2005, 09:22 AM

This next one is me in more of a need of a shave with a leash on.

Many of the beggers/ street preformers there had monkeys there and I was honestly fearful of the little bastards. They would jump around and were quite playful but who knows what HIV they have in their blood and saliva.

The next one is one of the more interesting and modern looking buildings on Bank rd in Pindi.

If you are over 5-5 here you can surely appreciate how small the cars are here. Just as I was walking around wondering where the bigger cars were, I found this old Chevy Caprice.

I dont know how long this one has been there but the stench is powerful all around it and for a minute I thought there might be a body in it.

Sure wish I could have ridden in something this size when I was there.

The idea that Muslims have a problem with Christians is not really true. My wife grew up in Tehran in a Catholic neighborhood with real Catholic churches and everything. The regime even allows them to possess and consume alcohol which, as we know, is central to being Catholic.

If I had a dime for every guy that asked me to use my permit to buy some booze for them there ......my trip would have been free.

The reality is that I would not have bought booze for even my closest friends there ....it'd be like a kid first drinking and do I want to be around when the cops nab the national that's drunk on my booze permit?

Ambassador Slang! What an interesting trip and a great curious adventure! Thanks for the thread.

It would have been much more impressive if you'd posted that when they actually got him instead of when they announced they did
