More than anything else, this 'American' debate highlights the archaic nature of a US constitution frozen in time that denies equal human rights to all her citizens.
Legally, 'marriage' is a civil contract between people called spouses that establishes rights and obligations between the spouses, between the spouses and their children; the spouses and their in-laws; and the state insofar as social benefits and taxes are concerned. It is self evident that States do not have the authority to take away these rights from some, while granting it to others.
Religion is another hopeless matter entirely; freedom of association determines whether churches and congregants wish to snarl in homophobia or quietly keep the closets in their midst, again not requiring federal law.
Hopefully, although unlikely, US judges will grow the balls necessary to put America back into step with universal human rights instead of bankrolling bigotry in perpetuity.

Prior to starting Push Pop Press I helped design the Nest Learning Thermostat and worked at Apple where I designed user interfaces and artwork for the iPhone, the iPad, and Mac OS X. Before that I cofounded Delicious Monster, a software company that created the book cataloging app Delicious Library.

Dropping water table causes the Milwaukee Rep to sink, repairs needed
Sitting on a table in an office at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, the weathered and rotted stump looks like a prop for a scene at a wharf or aboard a seafaring vessel.
The damaged stump, believed to be tamarack, was yanked out of a hole deep in the bowels of the Patty & Jay Baker Theater Complex, adjacent to the Milwaukee River and home to the Quadracci Powerhouse Theater, Stiemke Theater and the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article(37)
Windfall Theatre cast gets a bit lost in 'Petrified Forest'
In the late 1930s, Robert E. Sherwood owned the American stage, winning Pulitzer Prizes for three plays. Opening on Broadway in 1935, and featuring an actor named Humphrey Bogart, "The Petrified Forest" isn't among them. But it's the Sherwood play that's best remembered today, thanks to Bogart's ensuing appearance in the 1936 film with Leslie Howard and Bette Davis.
Windfall Theatre artistic director Carol Zippel is convinced Sherwood's "Forest" can still take root, and she's stating her case in a Windfall production that opened Friday night under her direction. »Read Full Article

Hi Michael,
Very nice and very good looking!
However, my standard complaint is found in the GraphicsMagick benchmark, where the units aren't in multiples of 5, 10, 20, or 25, but rather of 17:
Please, make sure that the units are in multiples of multiples of 5, 10, 20, or 25 etc.
Apart from that, very very nice!

Blog Entry:
February 06, 2013 11:46 AM | Author: KEVIN KLEPS
Depending on how you follow college football, today is either one of your favorite days of the year, or one that makes you wish you could just skip ahead to Thursday.
It's national signing day.
ESPN and other outlets will breathlessly report the college choices of 17- and 18-year-old kids who hope to one day play in the NFL.
Some recruits will actually hold press conferences, have numerous hats representing various universities, then unveil their selections as if they are Bob Barker and the rabid fans of said universities are the poor fools in the audience hoping to get selected for this episode of
The Price Is Right
Maybe you can tell I fall into the "let's just skip ahead to Thursday" camp.
I understand college football is big business.
I realize many of these kids will help their future schools make millions, while "only" getting scholarship money in return (that's if you believe all of these programs are on the up and up).
I'd prefer to wait until Rivals.com's No. 1 recruit (in case you're wondering,
this year's list
is topped by a defensive end headed to Mississippi) actually plays a down in college.
If you disagree, you're far from alone.
There's a reason there are more websites devoted to college football and basketball recruiting than there are breakdowns of the best schools for wanna-be journalists.
It's the same reason the University of Arizona
spent $378 million
to expand the north end zone area at Arizona Stadium and football accounts for
more than 70 percent
of all revenue generated by sports at Ohio State.
The people demand it.
The rest of us can make an annual pledge to stay away from ESPN, CBS and Yahoo! on the first Wednesday in February.
Super odds
While we're on the subject of huge business, the 2014 Super Bowl odds were released before Joe Flacco's agent had the chance to say he deserves to be the NFL's highest-paid quarterback.
Sportsbook.com and pregame.com have the Patriots as the favorites to win the Lombardi Trophy next season, and both sites have the current runners-up, the 49ers, as the No. 2 choice.
has the Browns and Buccaneers tied for 26th
in its 2014 Super Bowl odds. Only the Titans, Cardinals, Bills, Raiders and Jaguars have worse odds.
Pregame ranked the Browns 27th at 66-1 to win the Super Bowl. The Ravens are tied with the Texans for fifth at 14-1. The Steelers are tied with the Falcons and Saints for eighth at 18-1, and the Bengals are 15th at 35-1.
The consensus top four teams for 2013 are the Patriots, 49ers, Broncos and Packers.
As you read this, Ozzie Newsome is enlisting a soon-to-be retired Ray Lewis to give a passionate preseason speech about a lack of respect for the champs.
Social Saturday
Lake Erie College in Painesville
is taking a cue from Akron
in engaging its fans and giving away cool stuff.
Only in the Storm's case, they are building an entire day around it.
Lake Erie's
Social Media Saturday
will begin with a wrestling quad meet that starts at 10 a.m. and last through the women's basketball team's 7 p.m. game against Walsh University.
All events will be broadcasted online, and sports information and marketing students will tweet, blog and chat throughout the day.
There will be contests and prizes, including (we're saving the best for last here) a $50 iTunes gift card.

Destination guide: Temuco, Chile
The city of Temuco is the starting point for several different tourist circuits in the south of Chile, such as the Nielol Hill, ideal for observing the wildlife of Araucania; the Conguillio, Nahuelbuta and Malalcahuello-Nalcas National Parks; Llaima volcano, whose slopes are home to the Las Araucarias ski center; Lake Conguillio; the Malleco viaduct with the highest bridge in Chile and the Pablo Neruda Railway Museum.
Check out our offers on flights to Temuco and travel sooner than you expect.
Temuco - Practical Information
Chilean Peso
Nationals of the US, Canada, Australia and the EU do not need a visa to visit Chile. Passports are obligatory and are essential for cashing traveler's checks, checking into hotels and other routine activities.
The Chilean government collects a US$132/56/132 'reciprocity' fee from arriving US/Australian/Canadian citizens in response to these governments imposing a similar fee on Chilean citizens applying for visas. The payment applies only to tourists arriving by air in Santiago and is valid for the life of the passport. Payment must be made in cash; exact change necessary. It is advisable to carry your passport: Chile's police can demand identification at any moment, and many hotels require you to show it upon check-in.
If your passport is lost or stolen, notify the police, ask them for a police statement, and notify your consulate as soon as possible.

The California Department of Public Health, Licensing and Certification Division issued Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital a new license, effective February 1, and patients moved into the facility on Sunday, February 12, as planned.
The helipad also opened for patient transports in February. The new helipad can cut an average of 20 minutes off a patient's transportation to the Level II Trauma Center, critical for injuries that occur in distant or remote areas.
Construction Facts
The building was designed by Lee, Burkhart, Liu healthcare architects. Outside facade design by Cearnal Andrulaitis.
McCarthy Building Companies was the general contractor with 38 subcontractors.
The construction consists of seven phases, and the completion of this portion was Phase 4.

Take a virtual tour of our new facility >>
Watch a flawless helipad test landing >>
The rest of the phases include demolishing and rebuilding part of the existing hospital building, which will connect to the new buildings. These last few phases should be completed in 2017.
The new Phase 4 buildings encompass almost 370,000 square feet, and when combined, the total Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital buildings (original and new) will encompass approximately 870,000 square feet.
Recycling Efforts
The demolition of a former parking structure to make way for the new hospital resulted in 15,000 tons of crushed concrete that was then reused to form part of the foundation for the new structures. All together, 90% of the demolished structure materials were kept out of landfills through recycled uses.
A helipad for air ambulance transport of critically ill patients to our Trauma Center when minutes can mean the difference between life and death. Learn more about our helipad policies here. (see video of a helipad test landing here )
Healing Arts
artists. Utilizing visual arts in healthcare environments has become an international movement. It is believed that the visual arts have the power to enhance patient care, relieve stress for patients and visitors, and increase employee satisfaction. Exposure to the arts may reduce use of pain medication, increase compliance with treatments, and shorten the length of stay in hospitals.
The new Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital has art themes by floor:
• 1st floor: Santa Barbara Architecture
• 2nd floor: Water, Ocean / Seascapes
• 3rd floor: Flowers / Floral
More Statistics
Why we're rebuilding and how are we funding the project
After the Northridge earthquake in 1994, the California state legislature enacted Senate Bill 1953, which mandated that acute care hospitals be retrofit or rebuilt to withstand and remain functioning following a 6.0 earthquake. Hospitals must be able to admit and care for patients after a 6.0 earthquake.
Although the state is requiring the work, it is providing no funding to help hospitals. There is neither federal funding nor local government funding either. Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital is replacing all of its inpatient care facilities at an estimated cost of more than $900 million through four sources:

According to the Daily News, Lohan was blacklisted from borrowing designer gowns to red carpet events after returning a dress in ruins.
The dress in question is a $1,700 beaded nude and silver Theia Couture gown Lohan wore to an AmfAR event.
"She said the dress ripped by accident and she got scissors from a bouncer at a club to fix it. She said she didn't have a choice in the matter. God only knows what really happened," a source told The News.
After the incident, Lohan reportedly returned the dress shredded and while the source believes there was no real reason to cut the dress, the star's stylist was not too worried about it.
"She's glamorous and a nice girl and knows what looks good on her," stylist Phillip Bloch told The News. "I would definitely work with her again. I would just lay down some ground rules and do my best to make sure it never happens again."
For photos of the ripped dress visit The New York Daily News.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION In the book of Exodus, the ancient Hebrews survived 400 years of bondage before the ultimate supreme court dropped the 10 deadly Plagues on the land of the taskmasters and the head dictator, Pharaoh. Even then, only begrudgingly, did he Let My People Go. The freedom ride across, nay through the sea left a band of wandering nomads broke and suffering, no doubt with a profound hunger and a mighty thirst. Enter the Manna: a glorious gift to nourish body and soul. Manna was said to combine the tastes of everything most delicious to each individual, depending on their desire. And as the Good Book says, Each shall gather according to ones need and shall enjoy a double portion for thine chosen day of rest. Manna fed the entire tribe, but tradition suggests the righteous received manna ground in a heavenly mill, while the wicked had to grind it below for themselves. Hear o Tribe of Shmaltz Behold: A celebration of the flower of the craft beer revolution! A golden opportunity to feed your inner hop head and rejoice in HOP MANNA, our newest delicacy of the modern Hebrew Beer family. LChaim! Dry Hopped with Centennial, Cascade and Citra (Centennial and Cascade in Batch 4).

Bay Leaf Powder Laurus nobilis -is from the dried, ground leaves of sweet bay laurel, an evergreen tree native to Asia Minor and Mediterranean countries. In mythology the bay laurel was a symbol of honor. This mildly sweet, herbaceous floral spice is used in soups, stews, sweet white sauces, pâte, and for pickling. It goes well with fish and seafood, and is one of the ingredients of 'bouquet garni', herbs used to season soups and seafood chowders such as bouillabaisse. Powdered bay leaf is sometimes added to bread dough, imparting a mild spicy flavor. Bay leaf powder is more concentrated than whole bay leaf, use it in moderation. Organically grown in Turkey.

"What do you mean it's not Sparta anymore?"
"Always keep good relations with the Grecians"
Debtocratic Republic of Greece (Greek: Εεεεελλαααάδααααα /eeælaadaaaə/ , listen: Media:Name of Greece.mp3), also known as Monarchial Republic of Greece and officially the Frappe Republic of Greece (Greek: Ποιος μετακόμισε τυρί μου), is mostly known as the world's greatest country. It's a tiny country located in the Mediterranean peninsula, the paradise on earth. It's mostly known for its intelligence and logical philosophy. However, homosexuality was introduced by the Persians who invaded them for one second. Since then they are out of the country with their homosexuality which is now introduced in Turkey. From a geographical point of view, Greece is a tiny peninsula near the city-state of Helladistan. If you don't know this state then you have completely lost your spiritual guidance and you need help from an exorcist. If you don't find an exorcist then you can call the Great Archbishop of Athens and All Greece Christodoulos. Greece is also the birth place of homosexuality and homeopathy. The tendency of caring about unimportant things (such as others' names) whilst you are in a terrible life-threatening debts and situations - has also Greek origins.
See also: Greek Umpire: Hellas strikes back
The Greeks are an ancient people who like to claim they invented Europe when the rest of the continent was in animal skins and talking like animals. They called all non-Greeks sheep and said they bleated like agitated lambs - hence Baa-baa-baa-baa-barbarians. The Greeks always liked to remind every subsequent invader of this fact (Persians, Romans, French, English, Germans, Italians).They were also light years ahead in providing entertainment with plays by Euripides, comedies by Aristophanes and soap operas by Menander whose works were subsequently misfiled by later archivists as they were trash. The Greeks also liked poetry and listened to Homer as he droned on about Donuts.
With all this leisure time, the Greeks had time to argue with each other. Wherever they went, they caused chaos by arguing with fellow villagers. So being a sailor or a merchant was not recommended. It was said it only needed one Greek to start an argument. Athens and Sparta were the leading states in Greece's glory days until the Macedonian King Philip and his son Alexander the Great conquered them. After that the Greeks spread far and wide but back in Greece there was a long decline. It became an intellectual backwater. Like today, the really interesting Greeks found excuses to live elsewhere, a tradition carried on by Arianna Huffington Post.
Greece became part of the Roman Empire and then the Byzantine Empire. During the Crusades the French arrived and introduced adultery. The Venetians took over the Greek shipping business and charged excess fares. In the 15th century the Byzantine empire fell and the Turks came in. Greece was now really isolated, the only excitement happened in 1687 century when the Venetians blew up the Parthenon under the rhetoric it was storing weapons of mass destruction. The Greeks said they would restore it which is why over 300 years later there is scaffolding and extended lunch breaks to show how this is progressing.
The sculptures that survived were later sold to the English, by the Turks, as a settlement of outstanding bill. Lord Byron wrote a poem in protest and said he had fallen in love with Greece. This was an era when Romantics rediscovered ancient Greece and pledged they would help liberate the country from Turkish rule. It was called Panhandlenism.
Greece earned its independence during the early decades of the 19th century from the Automan Empire. After the Greek War of Independence, Greece got involved in a considerable number of wars in order to spread Greek Feta cheese to lesser lands. The Turks resisted and there were a number of wars until the Greeks unfairly lost, when their allies, the British and French, deserted them in 1922.
The official symbol on the Greek flag is a traditional [ Byzantine cold-coffee beverage known as Frape, sitting on a white sky and a blue sea. This is thought to symbolize a Greek's main source of "coolness", which is his/her extreme empathy towards everything.
Public Debt problems
Since the beginning of the year, The Greater Hellenic Debtocratic Republic has had a small problem of cash amounts. This is due to a few people in the government (who represent 0.00001% of the country's population) who spent all the public money on luxurious stuff, the fine life, and in corruption. Greece is known to be the best places to have enormous amounts of envelopes full of money, commonly known as Fakelakia (Φακελακια) (also known as baksheesh) that the people are used to give to the public functions such as the doctors, liars, err, lawyers and (of course) the tax claimers. Besides tourism, the envelopes are the main revenue sources of the country. However, Greece promises to Merkel's German Nazis (achtung!) and the American Republican Robber Barons to pay them back by other means of payments, such as anal sex or by farting on their own debts.
Government and politics
The Greeks invented democracy and the Romans converted it to the art of democratic corruption (which the Greeks also liked). Later on, the people realized they were much too lazy to govern themselves, so they formed a Senate to do it for them. Later on the Senate realized they couldn't be bothered so they convinced the people it was better to have a Prime Minister. These days the Prime Minister (whomever he is) is something similar to a Go Go Jesus doll from Dogma, a man of great presence and 3/6 of Kevin Bacon. His political party is called New Democracy (Νέα Δημοκρατία) because it redefined democracy, now a synonym of monarchy (μοναρχία). (Note: this party is subject to change until further notice.) In fact, they handled the administration over to George Michael, your regular power-hungry (and hairy) archbishop so it's more of a theocracy thing. The Prime Minister is well known for his appetite and has been said to be a direct descendant of Taz the Tasmanian Devil. This article does not cover the political opposition (αντιπολίτευση), as the parties responsible for that are Fast Forward, which is also noted by Final Fantasy fans to be in a state of petrification, and the Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Karl Marx Flip-Flop Carnival Show. There have been reports that, besides these three parties, there actually exist, in Greece, ahem, let me catch my breath, more political parties, mostly belonging to the left. Sadly, credible evidence for this has yet to be put forth and said reports are generally considered wildly inaccurate. Singer Demis Roussos was crowned King of Greece in 1978. Greece was pleased to gain a Queen when Roussos married fellow recording artist Nana Mouskouri in 1987.
The current Minister of Foreign Affairs is the famous TV showman Tambakis.
SueTube Wars: Greece vs. Turkey
Greeks and Turks seem to fight over everything in general, while the most popular topics seem to be football, yoghurt and baklava, a dessert so filled with sugar that it might turn deadly when consumed in large amounts. Because both nations are well aware that they'll get really, really bored if they don't fight with each other on any platform possible, the national sport of both countries have lately been posting stupid videos on SueTube, which mainly consist of curses constructed in really bad grammar. The traditional theme of the videos is generally mothers (from each side) getting gang banged, and surprisingly, goat fucked. No-one knows how interspecies sex can be that big of an insult, but it apparently is a taboo for the youth of both nations, especially when Greeks are pretty much offended by it when they do it more regularly in private.
SueTube fights are held every week between teams of, say, Stavraetos666 and YoungTurkishWolf696969, and the game is continued until one of the teams' leader officially call emo.
The last major conflict occurred in 1989 when the two countries fought over a small pebble that a tourist dropped over the side of a ferry in the Aegean sea. Within minutes, a team of Turkish naval commandos had establish a small but significant presence on the pebble, raising fears in Thessaloniki that soon all pebbles would be seized by tiny little Turk soldiers. The Greek response was to increase domestic corruption, drink frappe and moan about everything so eventually the fuss died down. Then the Greeks spent a lot of Euro on themselves, couldn't pay the bill, and went whining to Mama Merkel to please give them more.
Greece is the most southern country in Pakistan (until they include Konstatinoupolis in it, it's in the Eurovision song contest after all so why not take it from there?) or the most southern country in Europe (a famous quote from a famous comedian-actor-football team owner-mayor, not all at the same time though:
Greece is the only Mediterranean country with gay people, unlike Turkey or Macedonia. |
It's funny in Greek so back off. Of course that was before the Nigerian import) or the most western country in Asia, cause, like...
Greeks have invented the Western Civilization and brought the light to all those cavemen people in the rest of the known countries at the time (Some still prefer the caves though, better climate, warm in winter, breezy in the summer and best hide for extra-family activities. There are no lights which makes excuses very easy to come by, i.e. "Sorry I thought she was my girlfriend"). Mericans are excluded because Merica wasn't invented at the time. In fact the Greek philosophers back then had a Battle-Royal with the military buffs, which they won, so as not to invent it. They were defeated a few centuries later, hence the transatlantic mess ("We told you so" -philosophers).
Given that (the invention not the battle!), everyone should be very careful when addressing any issue for any matter at any time regarding any Greeks. Should trouble arise, the Greeks can at any point in time, even in the past (the future is certain), switch off the lights and throw whoever responsible back in the dark ages, the ancient times, the paleolithic era, the bigger the issue the farthest the time-slot. A perfect example that clearly demonstrates such consequences are the Chinese. They never had a rift with the Greeks and now they're the no. 1 power. But of course the Greek hand is always close to the switch, so they're aware and tread careful.
It's common knowledge, but will be denied at request, that Greeks invented the black a-hole. The person responsible for it, accidentally fell through it, before the hole vanished in a poof of smoke (had he seen he would've gotten the idea), and the slave who came later, back from the groceries, found only a badly written hand note where it was scribbled: "Back Hole". (N.B. Contrary to common belief, it's not a discovery, it's an invention. Tools are needed quite often and science was put to use). Greece is the home of a select 11+ million people, all of them educated, powerful, and beautiful (Greek women, especially, have some of the most beautiful facial hair in all Europe). Greeks are the greatest ethnicity of all time. They have their flaws, but they are funny ones.
Consists mostly of blackmailing the Republic of Macedonia. Other sectors include taking excessive and unmanageable levels of government debt and then blackmailing the Eurozone into bailing them out before the euro currency collapses and with it the entire Eurozone. Italy is also a leader in this sector, but currently doesn't measure up to the Hellass.
If you're bored/curious/hungry enough to enter a taverna alone, don't expect to be served in a long amount of time. In Greece it's very unlikely that someone eats alone. One is usually waiting for someone or else why leave the flat in the first place? For the waiter it will be very impolite to ask for the order before all the guests have arrived. Though this has changed in the major tourist places, and especially for tourists (who are ridiculously easy to spot) but you can still find such behavior in villages most notably in the island of Crete and pretty much in most other islands.
In Greece you must adapt to GMT but in this case GMT stands (or often sits) for "Greek Mostly Time". The Greek people have a very different attitude to time. When the bus is scheduled to come 10:30 it will come between 10 and 11, depending on the traffic, how many people the driver has met and felt he should talk with, and many other small things. Or a local might tell you that the bus will arrive AFTER 4 pm! Then he hasn't promised too much. The Greek people don't live by the clock. The Greeks also have a different opinion about when it's morning, afternoon and evening. You say Good Morning until 12. If you have agreed to meet in the 'afternoon', the earliest meant by this will be 6:00 pm! In Greece, the evening meal begins no earlier than 9:00 pm. Also no one will think anything of it if you phone at 10.00pm at night. However, 'siesta' time, between 3 pm and 5 pm is held to be sacred. During a siesta, though, it is very unpopular (often bordering to dangerous and suicidal) to disturb someone. So it's not an oxymoron to hear loud shouts/screams/curses during siesta. These come from people who value this sacred time and they are addressed at the other 'malakes' who don't and who themselves engage in all sorts of activities which they cannot find another time but this to practice, such as drilling, hammering, furniture rearrangement, high-speed motorcycle drive-by's (no shooting though) etc.
Greeks enjoy the fine art of dance. If you tease them for it, they will promptly curse you out in Greek to show their intellectual superiority, then castrate and decapitate you, just to prove a point.
The principal transport means in the whole country is by donkey (75% of all employed Greeks drive an ass to work). Donkeys replaced the cars and the buses a few years ago, because the country can't afford gas, let alone roads and public transport, anymore. This is probably due to the public debt problem, but nobody knows for sure, because the government ledgers are so messed up. Carpooling for typical employed Greeks means 5 people on a donkey.
The typical Malakas driver throws bottles out of his vehicle's window (or off of his donkey's back) without caring about a possible accident-inducing trajectory or environmental impact. The most appropriate word that describes this attitude is "Ellinaras" (big Greek jerk). This attitude doesn't necessary involve a vehicle. The "Ellinaras" will throw away anything available but useless to him/her wherever possible. Usually it is within 2-3 metres (6-9 feet for drunk Britons and/or Yankees) from a designated area for that purpose (trash can, dump site, ashtray etc). In this context, this is the usual, short conversation between two smokers who cannot see the ashtray or bother to ask for one: "-So where's the ashtray? -Right underneath you jerk, the BIG one".
The Greek driver is always the best there is, whereas all the rest are just "malakes" (pl. of "malakas") and is an expert in fast driving, but only that. This can be verified by the geometric increase in the number of vehicle accidents every year, hence the favourite motto: "Going nowhere (but the tree) fast".
It is said that the only reason no Greek would drive an F1 car is that they have no horns.
Most Hellenes are divided in two categories: Hellenares and Hellenarades. They are mostly the same thing: People who care for nothing more than football, sex, and themselves. When they cause damage, they always blame others. However there is one difference: Hellenares, in opposite to Hellenarades, have some decency when really needed. It is also said that this process is infecting immigrants as well, with Albanians living in Greece turning into Alvanares and Alvanarades, respectively.
- 100,001% Ancient Hellens
They are effectively applying the Albert Einstein's time travel theory in the the daily urban transport of Hellashole as shown by the documentary about the Ancient Hellens: Back to the Future.
The minorities in Hellashole are a non-existent paradox, one of the rare known examples of applied anti-matter physics, they are there and they are not there in the same time and place. They are the basic philosophical implications of Nothing. Commonly they are referred to as Nothing by the Hellashole Government.
There is also the race of "psonia". It is hard to define it but in basic principle it's the young people who believe they are better than everyone else and flaunt it. Similar (or better) to chavs. A psonara (the female) can be spotted on the streets of the rich suburb of Kiffisia with a bird's nest hair style, sipping on a Starbucks frappuchino whereas a psonio (the male) is harder to spot. He has shoulder-length hair or hair-length shoulders, is gorgeous and knows it, very very loud and will hit on anything that moves. Of course, all Greek people use the term loosely for anyone who is annoying them at that moment.
Γκρεικς γιουζ α γουείρντ άλφαμπετ! (Greeks use a weird alphabet that has been emulated in the Microsoft "windings" font)
Historically speaking, the Greek alphabet was developed by Athenusus Alphabetus, who was known to have a severe case of ADD (just like every other living Greek), hence the weird letters.
Apparently, even the Greeks don't seem to understand their alphabet... but if you are a stranger, and ask a greek to read a label or something, he will probably grab your ass, cup your face and start double penetration.
Another branch of the alphabet in Greece is known as the Geek language and consists more of numbers than of letters. On the other hand, their numbers consist of letters instead of numbers.
- Greetings
- "Μalaka (gr: Μαλάκα en:That which kills kittens)" or in the southern dialects, "Jackoff (n.)"
- "Αnde gamisou (gr: Άντε γαμήσου en: Fuck you)": Go and find your peace in a local theater, mainly used as a blessing
- "Gamo to mouni tis manas su / to spiti sou (gr: Γαμώ το μουνί της μάνας σου/ το σπίτι σου - en: I'm fucking your mother's pussy/your home)": Give my greetings to your family, mainly used in meetings.
"Greeks have a lot to give us, and I think that personally I'm not big enough to fit all they have to offer."
It is well known that the ancient Greeks invented three things, civilization, ouzo, and sex. Modern Greeks invented just gyro and frappe, but hey, they have to rest too.
But of course, their biggest and most significant invention has been wrestling. Wrestling dates back to the ancient times, where it was practiced right after theatrical performance, to the delight of every man. Even then, wrestlers had to undergo a lot of training to achieve a desirable rugged body. So yes, it is thanks to the Greeks that we got such a beautiful and entertaining sport as wrestling today.
Greeks show a particular interest in social topics of the people they know, and they're masters in the art of Culture Making). The process is widely known as ξεκατίνιασμα (ksekatiniasma) in honour of the Greek actress Katina Paxinou, who is thought to be the first person ever to have collected and recorded the proper rules of conduct. After Pericles, of course.
As well as being home to many Gods, Greece has also had its fair share of clever people (who mainly helped make up the Gods). Some philosophers to have lived in the country include Socrates (469BC - 399 BC). He was a teacher, and through his philosophy discussed many ideas that upset some people, including, rather stupidly, the government of the day. He was eventually given a choice of either leaving the country, or to die through drinking poison. As has been well recorded in history, faced with this tough choice, he decided to relocate to Brazil, where he helped the South American nation win 7 world cups, and spoken under the table after every match, introduced by Pele.
Other famous Greek philosophers were Plato and Aristotle, but Socrates ran rings around them with the ball at his feet.
Officially there is equality between the sexes, but women are actually paid less. About 40% of the Greek women are engaged in active employment despite their proper place being at home, taking care of the 'malakas'. Greek women are not liable for obligatory military service and they love it; more time spent in shopping! When divorcing, all belongings are equally split between man and woman as neither of them can come to any compromise. Today a Greek woman may keep her maiden name when marrying and some do just to spite their husband. Greek women only give birth to half as many children, as they did before World War 2; this is probably a master plan of Zionists and Freemasons to reduce the number of Einsteins that have gained the monopoly in the world mind market and that caused many to argue and stop the exports. Arranged marriages are encouraged by law as is the payment of a dowry, so both actually apply but none will talk about it. The average life expectancy for Greek women is 917 years. For men it's 80 because they can only stand the women for 80 years.
It is not uncommon for men to refer to women as "anorgasmiki" (unable to have an orgasm) because Greek men can have an orgasm at any given moment and twice at no given moments.
Most women (and most men too) refer to (other) men as "malakas" (asshole, dick, jackass, wanker and also buddy, pal). It is cheesy, but becoming increasingly common, for women to use "malakas" to address other women. Studies haven't been conclusive but an increment in women's balls has been cited as a possible reason.
All Turkish and Arabic, but spelled in the Greek alphabet so as to appear as native people's food. It's no secret that before the arrival of Arabs and Turks the main food were stones. Fried stones, stone stir fry, stone soup and stones with Macedonian cream were the favourites of the Greeks. Strangely, the late-night greasy kebab so beloved of the English doesn't seem to be a feature of Greek cuisine.
Perhaps the best movie ever made depicting the light-carrying, shining, famous, ancient and enormous Greek culture and civilization is "My Big Greek Wedding", where with well established scientific methods, the pluralism of the Greek language was proved beyond any doubt along with the origins of modern English in Greek (in fact, the origin of every modern language from Greek). This movie is a favorite of fat bitches who dream of a rich WASPy guy who will sweep her off her feet and beg to get into her bizarre dysfunctional family.
This famous lack of success was mirrored by the sequel, Zorba the Greek, filmed entirely in a Gus Portokalos' restaurant in 1962. The hero, Basil (Ernest Hemingway), arrives in Crete to find that it is inhabited by a peculiar species of bloodthirsty peasant that likes to murder sexy widows and that can't even figure out a way to slide logs down steep hillsides. The heroic Zorba turns out not to be Greek at all, just a misplaced Mexican, so Basil thinks "sod it" and decides to get drunk and dance like an arthritic shepherd like everybody else.
Famous People
Greece is the home of many famous people. Socrates, Aristotle and Plato but they died some time ago. Other famous Greeks were Cleopatra, though she moved to Egypt for religious/incestuous reasons. Then the Romans came and religion and the Byzantine Empire so it wasn't until the 20th century that anyone can remember a famous Greek. Well one famous Turk was born in Greece, Thessalonika to be exact: Mustapha Kemal who later became famous for beating the Allies at Gallipoli in 1915-1916. He is now known as Kemal Ataturk and a man no one dares to make fun of in case they are arrested and their website taken down. Attaturk's birthplace in now a museum and has a 24 hour security to prevent Greeks attacking it if they lose against Turkey in football matches.
Other famous Greeks are the singers Demis_Roussos and Nana Mouskouri. Roussos was the Greek version of Tiny Tim or Barry White, though some suspected he was really Luciano Pavarotti's illegitmate half brother. Roussos lost weight and still sings on cruise ships. Mouskouri always wore glasses when she performed which made her look a bit like a librarian. However it is related that back stage she would let her hair down and 'swear like Pireaus sailor unloading suitcases from a passenger ferry'. Celine Dion has acknowledged Mouskouri as an important wardrobe inspiration (though minus the specs).
Jennifer Aniston is worshipped as a god by many Greek woman. Consquently when Brad Pitt left her for Angelina Jolie, the Greek nation declared war on 'chisel face' and to this day Jolie has declined to visit the country for safety reasons. In contrast All Greek women are in love with George Clooney. He also cannot visit Greece in case his smothered to death by fans at Athens airport.
In term of sports, Greeks adore group sports.
Joint champions with the Turks in the friendly sports competitions organized during the last six centuries. These include such events as "rock climbing", "flag hoisting", "flag lowering", "who's fucking flag is that anyway?", "I can't see, it's too dark", "get that fucking goat off the rock, it's eating the flag", "it's okay, it's not our flag" and "fuck the flag, let´s go for the goat"". These games are usually organized on tiny, utterly useless islands, inhabited by goats, to promote local tourism.
Another important sport is arguing. Greeks do it non-stop, the ferocity with which they argue is directly proportional to the amount of frappé/ouzo in their blood at the time, however, even if sober and sleep deprived, they are the stubbornest people this world has yet to spawn. They will get together and talk about any number of topics, not to make conversation, but to, by trial and error, find a topic that is disagreed upon, and then spend the next 5 hours (minus any possible interference with siesta) arguing over it, usually to find that they have the same basic ideas, just with slightly different details. But now, they're satisfied!
Toss the Macedonians became Greece's national sport after the conquest of Greece by the 'Greek' Macedonians. No literally, they were forced to toss off Macedonians, but they didn't really mind. How else could they keep such firm bodies? It's not like they had stair master or steroids.
Greece's other national sport is sitting and drinking coffee for hours, preferably outdoors (weather permitting and more often than not it is) in squares or (ideally) by the beach. The average duration of a coffee-drinking session is around 3 hours, but the same group of people can be seen occupying a table for as much as 7-8 hours. During that time, members of the group come and go, others leave to run some errands and then return, by the 4th hour none of the original members is on the table, but don't be fooled, it is the same group of people! In popular places it is so hard to get a table, that you just have to hold on to it no matter what. This phenomenon explains the outrageous prices of coffee in Greece, as it's actually the space you re paying for (it's essentially real estate business, not catering). To compare equal things, an espresso costs 3 Euros in Athens and 0.70-1 Euro in "expensive, cosmopolitan" Milan. For other types of coffee, such as Freddo (based on espresso, inspired by the Italians but only known in Greece) you can pay as much as 7 Euros. On a sunny spring day, one can notice the number of 30 year old people who slothfully sip their coffee in outdoor cafes at 11:30 am on a Wednesday, and surprisingly can afford a 6 Euro Freddo, when they're apparently unemployed.
The most popular kind of coffee in Greece is the frappé (φραπές, φραπεδιά, φραπόγαλο (with milk), φραπεδούμπα). A sure indication of a good frappé is when it's so thick that the straw doesn't sink in it without having to push it down. Foreigners who wish to try Greek frappé for the first time, should not count on being able to sleep for the following 2 or 3 days and will need to hang anvils from their eyelids if they ever want to close them again.
Greeks will drink coffee at any time of the day, it's common to see people drinking frappè at midnight, before starting their night out (in Greece nobody goes clubbin' before 01:00 am, unless they want to help with cleaning).
Before it became Christian, Greece had its own set of Gods. For example, before (the) Madonna, Aphrodite was the Goddess of love, lust and sex, and is thought to have been the most beautiful made up woman of all time. Apollo was the God of music, prophecies and archery, and was strongly associated with the Sun (although nobody bothered to tell NASA this before sending Tom Hanks into space).
In not too specific an order, other Greek gods to have been seen roaming around town after dark are: Hades (of the underworld), Poseidon (sea and horses – though not seahorses), Hera (marriage and childbirth), Dionysus (wine, parties, bit of a dude), Hephaestus (an inflammation of liver tissue), and finally of course Zeus, King of all the Gods.

A Pizzeria friend that makes FANTASTIC dough gave me a recent tip. He recommended using PINK salt from the Himalayas. It is the best quality salt that you can buy and adds more flavor. Give it a try in your next batch of pizza dough.
Gift of the Magi - The Lost Abbey - Port Brewing Company - San Marcos, CAThis beer worked so well in the dough making process and the price was so good at the reduced price of, $2.99 a pint, that i went back to Total Beer & More, and I bought out the rest that they had.
