How to knit a scarf (in Colombia)

SHHHH! This thread is NOT about how to knit a scarf. It is a SECRET thread where PBH women can discuss romance (from a woman's perspective), shiny things, telenovelas and Colombian soldiers in uniform doing pilates. Since I have little to say on any of these topics, much less make them relevant to Colombia, I'm going to quietly bow out at this point. You should do the same. This thread is sponsored by telenovela "Milagros de amor (2002)", Kotex, Gaseosas Postobón and the letter ♀.

But you started it, MT. I think you have some responsibility here to moderate and act as a kind of talk show host ala Jay Leno.

Yes Porteñita, great idea! As long as he keeps his male opinions to himself and he swears an oath of secrecy to the PBH secrecy, what happens in here, stays in here!

I started it as a public service, but know little about the appeal of shiny objects and the power of Colombian uniforms. Someone more sensitive and open to these issues would make a better moderator. Desi already does an excellent job, and she could also demote this thread to keep it away from prying eyes. I do, in fairness, know a little about Postobón. I have a big chin, like Leno. My sister loves to knit. She made me a scarf. I thought that was very thoughtful.

Portena says on Jul 28, 2007, 13:02:

Knit a scarf = stitch and bitch. I believe that's what they call it when farm women get together and to knit, gossip and bitch about things. Not my scene. I'd rather be parasailing. ; )

People already think I went nuts a long time ago. What's a few more pecans in the trail mix?

Portena says on Jul 28, 2007, 13:04:

But we could talk about good looking men in uniform if you really want to...

I will buy a few "S's" if the men will shed their uniforms and show off their skills in Krav Mega. Forget the Pilates demonstration. : p

Krav Maga...I mean. Ok, MT, you're in charge! Get the show rolling and make it relevant to Colombia and the PBH gals.

Chao Mona (she can be your comedy advisor, MT, although you do a pretty good job on your own!)

podborski says on Jul 28, 2007, 15:09:

ha! I thought somebody might be trying to get away with something in here.

well I'm onto you...

Carry on. This could be like the time I found myself on a camping trip with about 6 women (before the other guys arrived) who proceeded to get quite drunk and forgot I was there. Man, the things I learned....the details you women go into. Just scary, frankly.

Portena says on Jul 28, 2007, 15:45:

Pod, are you buying rounds? If so, I'd like a sea breeze to start then I'll try aguardiente to keep it Colombian. And, pretty please, MT, could we talk about sparkly, expensive things like diamonds and emeralds rather than shiny things?

I feel better! I can smile at it now, I feel better. Ohhhh, better! Gnarls Barkley

Man Tequila says on Jul 28, 2007, 16:07:

Damn, pod's on to me. Act non-chalant! (Whistles tunelessly.)

I had a similar experience to pod many years ago when I took six chicas camping in the Adirondacks.

I first thought Krav Maga is not a suitable topic for the delicate ears of womenfolk. But then I remeber local beefcake and PBH member PowWow teaching us that "this may not relate to colombia much but it does because anyone can get thier car smashed up any where and many people feel they need to be careful in colombia and may want to learn some self defence before going. IT does seem that krav maga is good when it comes to disarming someone with a knife and goes in to that exstensively". GIB lectured on the role of krav maga during peinilla attacks. Elmo "Grasshopper" Defoque reminded us that some Colombians are pistoleras. So it's already out in the open. Damage control time.

PowWow also reminds me that many sparkly things are shiny. He's capable of a lot more things than you know! (cite: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095953/quotes ) . I'll stick to a gin and tonic.

Man Tequila says on Jul 28, 2007, 18:43:

See if you can guess which of these guys is PowWow. Winner gets a free minisigüi...

Portena says on Jul 28, 2007, 19:04:

What is a minisigüi??

I feel better! I can smile at it now, I feel better. Ohhhh, better! Gnarls Barkley

Man Tequila says on Jul 28, 2007, 23:05:

You'll have to ask morphus. ;)

Man Tequila says on Jul 29, 2007, 17:08:

I honestly don't know what minisigüi are. They were selling them near El Piñol at places that also sold mango verde and candy. The name sticks in my head as the girl I was with kept getting me to pronounce it. I presume it's a type of candy or pastry. No pictures of it exist on the net.

Portena says on Jul 29, 2007, 17:59:

Well, I'm not guessin' until I someone explains the "prize" I get if I'm correct.

I feel better! I can smile at it now, I feel better. Ohhhh, better! Gnarls Barkley

Man Tequila says on Jul 29, 2007, 18:01:

Now that PowWow is gone, the big man would be unable to confirm your correct guess. Maybe it's all for the best.

Portena says on Jul 29, 2007, 18:30:

Jajaja
