A painting of me

Closed Border, closed economy, closing opportunities. ⇒

   7 October 2009, early morning

I haven't traveled TO the States since I was 18. I have traveled THROUGH the States, in transit to other parts of the world, and even that is a big pile of suck. Who wants to get their retina scanned and their fingerprints taken just so they see lots of fat people?

This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.

  1. Come on, dude. The retina scan adds ten pounds.

  4. It was when I travelled with my British passport. I think Canadians get a pass.

    Yeah, I guess the fat people comment was overly harsh. Apparently it’s only the 9th fattest country in the world.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
