I mentioned earlier that nobody should try to post a comment to my site. Let me amend that decree. If you’ve posted comments before and can remember how you posted (what name you used and whatnot), then feel free to post a comment, cuz it’ll go right through without me having to moderate it. Otherwise…that’s all I got.
See you in two weeks.

Right now I’m packing for Egypt. I’ve made a list that I’m going be nervous about until I arrive. Did I bring enough dirty undies? Rusty razors? Oh my, I hope I don’t forget anything! So as I’m going through my list of Things I’ll Need, I realize that I’m also going to have to adhere to other constraints.
Do not bring attention to yourself. Be low-key. Which means Dress low-key. Now I have to make sure that I don’t wear any Slayer tshirts or anything that may offend the locals. Who are Muslim.
Okay fine. I went through my tshirts and found both long- and short-sleeved shirts that only have innocent logos on them. Mostly bike-related. Nothing offensive or tasteless. Okay good. Pants? NO PROBLEM. Jeans are good. Socks and undies? Nobody’s going to see those anyway. CHECK! Ooo, a ball cap.
Okay, here’s where it gets screwy. Can I wear my NASA cap with the scrambled eggs on the bill? No, better not, looks like I’m an admiral or something. Morrow cap? No, that thing is neon yellow and can be seen from space. Can’t wear my LA Coroners cap, cuz that has a chalk outline of a body on it. I definitely WON’T be wearing my Strategic Weapons Facility cap, nor will I be wearing my CIA or FBI caps. Dang, this is getting tough! What about my DT Swiss cap? They’re a bike company, fer chrissake! Yeah, well there IS a red shield with a white cross on the back of it Could I be mistaken for a starting shortstop on the Knights Templar baseball squad? Oh shit… I can’t even wear my Redwings cap, cuz there’s an American flag on it! AK Dept of Fish and Game? No, too military looking on the logo. You know what? Later this bullshit! I’m gonna buy a ballcap in the market in Cairo…
The funny thing with all this? I have a tattoo. On my neck. Flames. Nice logos on my clothes? Fuck, I need a damn turtleneck if I’m needing anything! Preferably one that can deflect a scimitar blade.
This is going to be interesting.
