So heres the deal, I’m in São Paulo Brazil.
I have a 1 to 2 hour bus commute each way to work and back.
After almost 5 years I can say that IT’S DULL, SO DAMN DULL
AND DESPERATELY BORINGLY DULL I THINK I’M GONNA CRACK! AAHHHHHhhhRRGH!
Ahem.
Now, I can only get my hands on the magazines TIME,
NEWS WEEK, and THE ECONOMIST on a regular basis - BORING!
I want funny stuff to read, I have printed and read ALL of
the Straight Dope archives that are not in the books,
all the works written by Lore Sjöberg of the
Brunching shuttlecocks fame,(which if you don’t know you should check
out), http://www.brunching.com/fs-date-authorlist.html ,
some of the “teamings” articles, lots of Dave Barry
and a good bit of “News of the weird”.
Well, I’m out of ideas! Don’t get me wrong, there is no shortage
of reading material here, but I like funny stuff, and most of
the humorous subtleties of the Portuguese language escape me and
I often just don’t see what’s so funny. Books in English here
are expensive to a point where I can’t afford them, and the ones
I would like, I have to order from a book shop or Amazon and then
I pay a big import tax. Wahha! Sooooooo If you all could
post links to funny articles, essays, comedians, pundits
even stuff YOU wrote that I could print out and read during
my daily dreaded bus ride from hell I would
be MOST grateful. not much of a pit rant I know but with all the
whining involved, I figured this was the right spot for my
humble request.
Thanx. Janx.
