Popple's Travels in Turkey

Popplegem — Sat, 06/28/2008 - 00:04

Dear Blog,

So I'm taking Gar's advice and moving this to the Blog area. Do people actually read these things? We'll find out.

Turkey has a vast array of interesting bugs. I don't mean the macro kind, I mean the micro kind. I've been sick twice now, once with a massive sinus infection that gave me some killer antibiotics and now with a fantastic stomach flu.

The days are long and require 8 hours of field hiking and mapping. I'd just like to say that I hate field work. I want a cubicle career, I think.

All that taken into account, things here are still going well.

The weridest thing about Turkey is the call to prayer 5 times a day. We've finally gotten to the point where we can sleep through the 5 AM prayers, which probably means we'd all make bad bad muslims.

You know you're in a theocracy when in EVERY town you get a call to prayer and it echoes throughout the hills so you get it in bad stereo effect.

It's cheap here. Very very cheap. In one week I spent 20 dollars and got only fun stuff. Cookies are like 50 cents for a roll of 10 cookies. It's great. And you wanta Fanta, don't you?

With this written, I'm off to do a cross section before I start throwing up again.

Love, PG

How to grind rep with the Derchlon faction:

Derchlon — Sun, 06/22/2008 - 01:43

Alright so its late, its been an interesting day for me, and I'm not entirely coherent right now. That means this is the perfect time to give all of you a good way to grind your way to Exalted status with Derchlon. This is just an on the fly list of things I like, and conversation topics that I relish.

1. Baseball. I enjoy people who can discuss the inner strategy of a 3-1 ground ball to shortstop, and why the hitter got fooled by the high heat again when it was the last two pitches thrown. Common phrases from these people include "I just said that! These announcers should give me their job," and "I knew they should have benched that guy earlier" Also, trash talking Bill Bavasi with an intelligent reason is worth bonus rep.

2. Misa Campo. She happens to be one of the most attractive women I've ever seen. Way back before I got involved in WoW, I was labeled as "The guy who really likes Misa Campo" on a message board I was on. I pretty much pushed her image on the site before she was as known as she is now, and now she's decently popular. Chances are if you've heard of her before, thank me for it. She's best known for her picture in the green shirt with the sprite logo. Have fun on Google Images ;).

3. Hypothetical situations. These can't just be simple "what if we replaced a mage with a boomkin?" kind of questions, they need to have more meaning, and likewise, consequences. A good example is as follows: Two girls love you very much, but you only love one of those girls in return. However, if you choose to be with the one you love, the other is banished and tortured for eternity, but if you pick the one you don't love, you can never see the one you DID love ever again. So, which do you choose?

4. Quoting from movies in common conversations. This is self explanatory. If its from a movie, and its in the conversation, done deal.
