I'm It
Cap'n Kurt over at Information Nation tagged me with one of those dang meme thangs that's been getting passed around the Internets like the bird flu lately. Funny thing is, I'd just done it a couple of weeks ago over at 9622, so I'm just gonna cut 'n' paste it into my extended entry.

...one of those dang meme thangs that's been getting passed around the Internets like the bird flu lately.
Which is still a hell of a lot better than in The Old DaysŪ when memes were called "idears" and they got passed around like rickets. Or scurvy. I can't remember which.

What were you doing in Teheran? What was it like?

I lived there from 1964-65, so the Shah was still in power. My father was working for a company that built oil refineries (Fluor). We lived in a foreigner's compound near Tehran that looked exactly like a suburban housing tract in Southern California.

No Reservations! So I wasn't the only one watching. They seem to have dropped it, unless they're just resting it until they have new episodes. I never did get to catch all of the New Jersey episode.
Now I ask you, would you eat raw brain in the hot Uzbekistan sun?

The NJ episode was the weakest of the bunch, I think. I really enjoyed the Iceland and Uzbekistan installments.
Would I eat monkey brains? Only if it had artistic merit and was integral to the plot.
