Going to the Amazon for a week, do you guys need anything from there?
Some Brazil nuts, perhaps?

Can you mail me an authentic cannibal? There's, um, a neighbor who I'd like to meet one.

IF you could grab me one of those poison dart frogs that would be fantastic.
Why are you heading out into the jungle? That's almost as dangerous as Australia?

Is there anything non-lethal?

Nope. Everything in the Amazon equals instant death.
...or a really wacked-out high.

Thirty-seven hours of field recordings of authentic tribal chanting for my racist ambient side-project, please.

I like my ambient as racist as can be. Posted by on Feb-20-2016 19:45:

Sure, I hear they really like people!

Missus Lira got a job here. She's a lecturer at a local university, and I'm a lecturer in Bras�lia. We're both fed up with this situation, really, but it'll take us a while to bring her back to the capital.
(Though I also think of moving to Manaus... Jokes and scorching heat notwithstanding, I love it here)

Ninjas. It's so hot they can hardly muster up the courage to kill anyone.
True story: This is one of the reason many Japanese immigrants died. They thought the locals were lazy and kept working on rice paddies all they long. This seems to have severed their immune system, wiping them out

It's weird. The plane took off at 9 PM, landed at 10 PM, the flight lasted 3 hours.
Damn time zones

I actually tried to do it last year (yes, the picture is mine):
What this picture doesn't show are the three topless teenage girls that were dancing with them, which made me realise how much of a Christian I am. I was incredibly uncomfortable snapping pictures (or recording anything that lasted longer than the blink of an eye), and I couldn't stop blushing, so I came back home with nothing but shame for having bothered them at what I clearly assumed was the wrong time.
I'd be a terrible anthropologist

Well, I'm pretty sure I can find velvet monkey testicles at some specific stores

Haha, I looked it up after your post, but the only place I found is in... Bahia. Why the hell someone would go to Bahia for that is beyond my understanding... That's not what Bahia is for

Sorry, refer to quote above
Seriously though, I didn't expect seeing so many Jews here. I'm not even joking, there are loads of them! There's a synagogue with orthodox Jews, Jew villages in the middle of the forest, and tipping is mandatory here, so - yes, you're about to read exactly that - our Jews do tip

Sure thing, I'll do my best Posted by Alex on Feb-22-2016 06:04:
Just stay in the Amazon and learn the language of the trees/Ents you filthy academic.

You're in the Amazon. Take some fucking bird pics already!

Smoking trees literally They must have some insane herb down there.

That would be fun! I actually like it here, but the wife wants to have a mini-me (or a mini-her) and hospitals are better back home.

My Nokia is no match for these birds! My pictures would look a lot like this:
I mean, it's so blurry this bird looks a lot like a dog!

Lira I only ask you to get one thing and one thing only...
I'd eventually infect my wife, who would herself develop antibodies,
We'd wait as long as possible,
She could have the mini-me she wants and zika would probably no longer be a problem.
Besides, I suspect I'm not among the most vulnerable. The mosquito that carries the zika virus is also responsible for the transmission of dengue fever, which I've never had. Sure, I could still get it, but they don't usually go for academics who stay indoors until the sun comes down Posted by on Feb-25-2016 04:28:
I just thought because it's free an easy to get it wouldn't be such a big request.
They must have some insane herb down there.
