Things that sound vaguely racist
Ok, been cleaning out my hard drive desperately trying to stay distracted until tomorrow’s ultimate presidential smack down of death, came across a slew of pics from various and sundry travels that I have been meaning to post.
While I am sure in their native language or culture they are entirely innocuous, the following four are all definitely borderline racist or at least just make me slightly uncomfortable.
Saw this one in Turkey – cookies for the black man called Negro
Saw this one in Sweden – I am 100% certain you are not supposed to say Jap (or even Japp):
On that note, how are Nips still allowed to be sold as well?
These last 2 are in San Antonio TX.
Any finally, Porky’s?? Really? Do fat people really not get offended by this?
Cocktails for Candidates
From some random guy on Facebook:
This made me smile, unlike most of the real news from this campaign.

Seen on the train from Madrid to Cordoba
This bathroom sign cracks me up. Look I get that we’re on an internal journey in Spain and that signs in English shouldn’t be required – but to have every language *except* English just seems odd.

…or should I say…
We have a big highway sign… *trust* us!
…or should I say…
The biggest failed government project ever.
…or should I say…
Where the sign on the front door says "why don’t you make like a tree and get out of here!"
…or should I say……
Back from the Olympics!
Hey all, well Olympic mania has hit Salim’s World! I just got back from a week in the Salt Lake City where I saw a bunch of events and got some skiing in. This trip made me think about my previous trip to the Atlanta games, here are some thoughts and comparisons between the two…
Here are some of the more humorous and bizarre images from Salt Lake…
The great thing is, you can’t fake stuff this strange…

Gas Stations Redux
Part 2 in the “sexual references in gas stations across America” series (see May 28, 2000 post). The great part about it was that these gas stations were scattered all over the Des Moines area!
(for those of you that live in the Bay Area, yes that really is a $1.17 for premium gas!)
