On the bright side, I met a dude who's gonna set my dad up with an agricultural tour around the country. And I learned that Muslims also have nut fries. How about that?

Wow, what would John Currie wear to an Egyptian nutPAK?

if he brought the wife she'd show up in a burka and all the egyptians would laugh at her.

you ever get your streaming situation figured out FR?

Not quite. I am trying out the boxee box for sling this week and moving the sling itself to a friends house with much faster upload speeds. It works right now, but the quality is not good and the stream gets choppy way too often.

Can you sneak cigs through a burka?

They also grill them. Never heard of that. Maybe kebabs? I'll have to ask later. Seemed a tad indelicate during the ceremony to ask too many questions about the sacrifice's testicles.

FR, you are a treat to follow on twitter, especially when you tweet about egypt-y stuff

True story:

Felix is the only Twitterer that I have mobile alerts set up for.

felix rex · « **Reply #559 on:** November 15, 2012, 01:48:07 PM »

Sexual harassment is indescribably bad here. Also, I had a few things I wanted to post here today, but due to an amateurish tactical error on my part, it is just another global diarrhea adventure (TM stevedave).

Might as well order in a McArabia and listen to the oddball karaoke New Year party upstairs.

Stay safe, FR.

We'll see what hrc thinks when she's in a few days. In the meantime, I am stockpiling cash.

ChiComCat · « **Reply #566 on:** November 23, 2012, 01:25:08 PM »

Be safe. If you make it to Big 12 champs pak, first beer is on me.

Take care of you and yours, FR. Stay safe.

Im still a newby and wasn't here for the revolution but crap looks really really bad downtown. And we're two days out from the "big" dueling protests. I saw people looking nervous today that never look nervous. Getting a little anxious for the first time. Will try and gauge the mood of my doormen (boabs) when I get back. If they're cool, I'm cool.

Stay safe felix.

Quick note: the group throwing crap at/around the embassy was very young. Most looked 15-16 (prolly 18-19 in Egy years). The group in the square was older and more stable and appeared to be stopping the former from taking things to far.

No real sign of legit ultras yet. But they'll be here by Tuesday.

felix rex · « **Reply #571 on:** November 25, 2012, 12:24:15 PM »

This is all a little jumbled right now. After Tuesday, I hope to right down a coherent post on all the crap I'm seeing right now. But I figured random poorly written blurbs that were a bit up to date were better than nothing in the interim.

Any updates you can give are appreciated....You are basically the egypt beat reporter for goEMAW
