Expect an uptick in the number of RVs. Totally thematic for the brits.

Video games are giving kids unrealistic expectations on how many swords they can carry.

The film -- "based on the novel" -- must not be considered a replacement for the book. Michener's epic novel is a veritable education in a culture -- very much worth reading under any circumstances.

ebay has 2,881 items on search "joe camel". Better bid now, these are rarer than auto passes.

Who's good at drawing? We "need" a camel drawn up like Jessica Rabbit.
Oh.... And.... Unrelated.... I want to try to be the first ePlayan to post the term camel-humper.
You heard it at Elliot's Camel Shoeing & Tea Parlour first.

Re: CARAVANSARY
My only issue is that if I get to go this year I most definitely need a vehicle pass. I live in Georgia and I'll be driving with one or more friends. If I got a ticket and no pass I couldn't go. People as far away as me have a hard enough time getting there let only trying to find people to ride with. If I lived in California it'd be no big deal.

Finally, a reason to break out the abayas mom and I wore in Saudi. And MyLarry's Desert Shield t-shirt collection.
I lived in Shiraz, they have a gorgeous caravanserai, fountain in the middle, lounging benches where tea and morgh polow was served, dappled light coming in through the stained glass windows set in the dome.

Are you a native american? If so, pursuant to law originating in the 1800's, you can not be barred from riding a horse on federal land.CrispyDave wrote:"Do I need a Vehicle pass for my Horse"Marscrumbs wrote:So the theme this year is like a giant camp out in the desert?

If you are not a native american, you may pass unimpeded on federal land via horseback if you are carrying a prisoner, or the corpse of a prisoner, to the nearest Marshal or Sheriff, or are looking for branded livestock.
Know your rights under the law! Brand your Sparkle Ponies!!
