@ Mental: American I may be, but I’ve been in E. Africa for over a month so flashlights are definitely torches :-P A flamethrower would have been cool, though. Maybe you can arrange something for the African bloggers conference?

@Ethanz: One year and counting for me.

Ha!

The only pal at TEDGlobal (apart from HASH) without his own plane.

Maybe its time to buy those Micro$oft shares?

Now as to that Mac thing, you can give them my address for delivery and I will gladly mail you a WorldSpace radio …

hahaha! When I saw the word torch I immediately thought of the Olympics (you know the passing of the flame, or whatever that ritual is).

p.s. I’m American.

I’m not sure if this was intended but your post is hilarious. I am a huge X-Files fan and so this grabbed my attention. Their own plane! Wow what luxury.

Ethan I was scared you were going to climb out of the neo-con closet too! Then the world as I know it would have stopped making sense!

David – there was one Kenyan guy who in our first lecture turned to the girl next to him and asked if she, “had a rubber”. Yani the look on the girls face was priceless. Although they ended up dating for 3 years, so alls well that ends well.

Hash – Now I am even more suspicious. Reverse psychology eh. You would make the prefect infiltrator. Not that MA writes anything a neo-con would find offensive!

Okay, so I’m not a neo-con, but it would have been fun to see you singing as part of the Supremes! :)

… Torch – now that’s a tricky word. It took me many years of living in the US to get over the fact that a Flashlight is not a Torch (in the US), and that no one knows what an Aerial is – commonly known as an Antenna here.

“I think there is a conspiracy going on here, aren’t neo-cons allowed to have passports by the US authorities? I have never met an American who says they voted for Bush. Aren’t they allowed to travel and leave America?”

They’re allowed to leave, but they’re really, really happy here right now, and really scared of the outside world. The Americans you keep meeting are really, really scared of America right now and lots happier in the outside world… :-)
