MORE BAD PHOTOJOURNALISM FROM CHINA

Here's the famous Forbidden City.

Here's a badly exposed picture of me near the famous picture of Chairman Mao at the famous Forbidden City. Chairman Mao is also on all of the money and many souvenirs. He is like the Hannah Montana of China.

Here's a picture of the famous Wu Mart. If you need Wu, this is the place to get it.

Here's a picture left over from my trip to the Great Wall, showing a sign telling you how to ride the gondola.

And here's an interesting fact: I can't see this blog in China. I can post to it, but I can't see it. I was told that all TypePad blogs are blocked over here. This bothers some people, but I for one welcome my new Chinese overlords.

Hope y'all are having a great time! I see your haircut is catching on over there. Trendsetter!

*posts pointlessly knowing Dave and family and all the people in China will not see it*

[Wyo Cowboy]

so what's the price of wu up to now?

[Recovering 24 Addict]

Look on the bright side. Judi doesnt have to worry about being fired while Dave is China.

[Recovering 24 Addict]

Wow three picture posts and not one evil one Sioxie would be so proud.

[Punkin]

No scratching in the cabin????

Dayam.

*scratch scratch*

[WriterDude]

Interesting fact? More like depressing fact. Those asshats.

judi, if it's somehow possible to find out if -- and it turns out that -- WordPress blogs are not blocked in the PRC (Patently Repressive China), I volunteer my blog for folks to send Dave good wishes and advice for ordering beer. Lemme know.

[Guin]

Don't worry, Dave, those naked family photos you sent to the blog posted just fine.

[igloo]

Not sure which prohibition to violate.
No Scratching.
Don't stick your body outside...

Scratching is important to me...specially after where I have been the last several months...
So I stand up against the Type 98G MBT, in Tiananmen square, for the right to scratch; whatever, whenever, wherever!

[Wyo Cowboy]

OT:

omg... one of Jeopardy's categories tonight is BM! and one of them was the Daily Double!

I think I need to watch something better, like maybe the shopping network.

BOT.

[CJrun]

So, when they advertise, are they pitching Wu?

[Moon]

Did you drink any "pi", Dave?

[Ao My Tongue]

Even the longest blog begins with a single post...

[Eleanor]

*zips in*™

It really sucks the big one is a shame that Dave can't read all of our looney posts witticisms.

[Annie Where-but-here]

*wonders if WuMart has greeters and a teeny yellow ball guy with slanty eyes*

[Renee (the First)]

SNORK at CJ.

So are you allowed to do this in the gondola? Might work better in a gondola than an elevator.

[Eleanor]

Where ya been that's so itchy, igloo?

[Lairbo]

A word of advice, Dave, regarding any and all of the sundry Mao merchandise; please don't squeeze the Chairman.

[judi]

omg do you have any idea how many times i will be fired when he gets back?!

[Lairbo]

Judi, just hope Dave doesn't go all Cultural Revolutionary on you and send you to a people's collective farm in the country for re-edumacation.

[Elon@Rice]

So now that Dave can't see what we write about him, the truth can finally come out.

[Lairbo]

Also, Judi, even if he does fire you, he'll need to keep you around because he'll want to fire you again an hour later.

[Richard the Weasel-Hearted]

Hmmm. The Asian supermarket I like to frequent is called "H Mart". I must not have found the right aisle...

[Renee (the First)]

And a SNORK for Lairbo. The blog is on fire tonight!

[Siouxie]

Damn, I'm all outta Wu and I gotta go to friggin' CHINA to get some??

Wu, that is.

[Wyo Cowboy]

is wu available in sodium free versions?

[Siouxie]

OK..does it say don't scratch the cabin or don't scratch IN the cabin?

[Eleanor]

Inthe cabin, Siouxie, Annie told me.:)

[baligurl]

Hard to tell since someone ironically scratched the paint off the sign!

[Suzy Q]

I think I might have had a bit too much Wu tonight. We celebrated my nephew's 30th birthday, so that makes me officially old. Pffft.

[Eleanor]

Those wacky Chinese, bali!

[Siouxie]

El, Annie would know.

bali, I think whoever did that got frustrated that they couldn't scratch inside the cabin and couldn't stick their body out TO scratch.

[Siouxie]

Ex-Addict?? I AM proud ;-P

[ScottMGS]

You're not old, SuzyQ, you're just right.

Also, Wu Mart appears to be a home-grown competitor to Wal*Mart.

[ScottMGS]

I'm sure everyone's gone to bed already out there in right-coast land. *sigh*

[baligurl]

Luckily, Scott, us guys in the midwest? Not so much.

[Siouxie]

Scotttttttttttttttt! I'm sorta kinda still up. Just walked and fed the dogs, fed the cat, still doing laundry for the college girl that's leaving on Friday and now I'm chillin' with a glass of Merlot.

[Siouxie]

smooch, bali!!

[ScottMGS]

Hi, Siouxie! Good to catch ya. Work's been crazy and I have a hundred un-read blog posts. I'm chillin' with a bottle of Hornsby's Hard Cider.

[ScottMGS]

Hi Bali! Yeah, it's still early, yet.

[ScottMGS]

What're you drinking, Bali? (If anything.)

[ScottMGS]

*wipes up blog-dust and vacuums, sets up coffee-maker and sets the timer for oh-dark-30*

[shell in ks]

If Wu-Mart is selling all things Chinese...does that mean they are selling all things made in the U.S.? That only seems fair. Instead of Made in China, the tags may say "Made in the USA"! The same company is going to own the world eventually....they've just got to prove it. Maybe gas masks and breathing stations can slow it down.

[Siouxie]

*zaps in*

Thanks, Scott. Did not mean to be rude and take off. It took me a while to catch up on the blog after coming back from vacay!

Nite nite! *smooch*

*zaps off to bed*

[Oscar]

*Walks into blog. Collects claw hammers and motor oil and puts them back in closet. Puts sheep back in pen - again. Sets out bagels, cream cheese, bacon, toast, waffles, and fruit. Turns on TV.*

[Hammond Rye]

*quickly changes name back*

[Siouxie]

*WAVES @ Hammie!!!*

um...you forgot your plastic baggie.

*sits on the FLOOR eating her bacon*

[Mike Antonucci]

Wu-Mart: Awways wo pwices. Awways.

[baligurl]

There's bacon? Woot!

[crossgirl]

mmmmmm, someone say bacon?

never mind wu mart. i want to know on what delights our dave has been dining.

[biggin]

Isn't it about 2:15 pm next Tuesday in China?
