Of course they did. They spent a lot of time, and film, on safaris around El Rosario. You could tell by their lusterous hair in the films shot
there but, it was presented as deep, dark Africa.
Early day frauds. |
FRAUDS--no---can't be. If one can't trust adventurers, well just who can one trust.

Ya know...it hurts my feelings when someone calls me names, or infers that I am dishonest, or sick or a nut bar...whatever...which is why I try to
refrain from hurting others with insults....you know that "Do unto others...thing"
I admit....I'm CRAZY.....crazy for looooovin YOUUUUU.
thank you dianne and Antonio for suggesting that people may think it dishonest/disgusting/unsanitary to recycle shampoo bottles....because we cant get
those little bottles here, I thought recycling was OK and I wash the bottles with antiseptic soap. If someone could find/bring down a box of new
shampoos, or packets are even better...please do so.
Putting the used soap back into the little paper wrappers is more difficult!! (totally kidding folks!!!)
Now there are some really nice hypoallergenic little soaps available at the market in GN...more expensive but our sensitive clients are worth it!
Feedback is good and helps us improve our service
NOTE: I have added in red ink to our website that our shampoo bottles ARE refilled so if this upsets you...BYOS..bring your own shampoo.

I don't understand why people would expect shampoo as part of the room rental anyway. What's next? Deodorant and toothbrushes? Who would leave home
on a trip without all these things?

Don't think most people do---we don't---we carry our own even when we are camping.
Now Dennis, back to the fraud of the Johnson's ----do you have photos? I just can't believe that they were not in deepest, darkest Africa.
Next you will be telling me that many of those old Movietone news reels were not shot on location.

Of course they were shot on locations. El Rosario and Nairobi. That's where my daddy was kneaded like a ball of sourdough by the mean-spirited
elephant then sucked up like a fresh paté.
Anyway, I turned all of the fotos over to The Commision To Investigate Safari Fraud. They want to get to the bottom of this.
Speaking of bottom...it was recently revealed that many of the "wild" lions in most every Johnson documentary were winos recruited from the more poor
areas of town and dressed in hollowed-out lions to give the impression of abundant big game. They were directed to walk or wobble across expansive
panoramas of grass till they passed out, when the commentator would say, "Oh, isn't that just precious. He's going to take a nap so he can go out
hunting and killing tonight."
Yep...It's all under investigation 'cause in both ER and Nairobi, it's against the law for winos to sleep on the grass.

DENNIS, POI? Yea, has the same consistancy as ketchup only it's blue/green. Must be one of those carbo things. Would much rather have refried beans,
grits, mashed potatoes, rice , cornbread or most anything else as a "filler".

Now, don't make fun of my puréed papá.
The poi I remember was brownish gray and tasted like Bondo. Thicker than ketchup if I recall. What is it you were eating? They may have called it
poi but, what do you think it really was?

It's basically smashed taro root. Taro does have some blue veins, but is generally light beige in color. I absolutely have never seen blue-green poi.

DENNIS, You're right. Flunked my color vision tests. It was supposed to be poi, but it could have been most anything. Usually clean my plate, but
passed on the poi after a taste or two.

If you passed on the poi, I bet you also passed on that yummy flour paste we used back in elementary school.

Ah, lots of projects done with flour paste---simply flour, water, and salt to keep it from molding later just in case you wanted to save your project
for years and years.
Tasted better than poi.

Anyone who has ever been to a luau, has been confronted with poi. I think the locals get a kick out of watching the tourists gag on it.
