if you can get over the fact that a grown man spent the past 2 nights sleeping on garfield bedsheets, you'll be able to see the strange fruit displayed before you. in my quest to educate you drooling ignorami blockheads, this post is the first in a series of 'fruity' and educational reports that highlight the amazing array of wacky edible products in asia.

(fyi, there's little to no internet in these parts of indonesia - east of lombok. you're lust for thejerk.org (formerly meatcondom.com) updates may have to wait until i return to civilization).

for those of you who care¹, i've left the country again en route to an astounding 3 more years of international travel. 2003 - 2006 was great but after 3 years of continuous world-wide travel, i decided to take a break at home this summer with the plan of returning recharged in the fall. mission: accomplished. added bonus, i stole myself a digital SLR camera w/ 200mm pervert lens. prepare to be dazzled, you wretched sociopaths.

without further ado, i present the first set of pictures of 2006 as well as the first set of pictures from leg three of my planned 6 year jaunt around the world (and then into the poor-house):

Borneo-rific!

stay tuned to www.thejerk.org for stories sure to make you pull a muscle yawning.

originally i wanted to poke fun at the irish with drunk & pasty jokes but i have little interest in blabbing at this late hour. i'll just come clean and admit to my hidden agenda which was to post a few pictures of attractive women. it's mainly intended for the perverts out there because child molesters' turn just as many, if not more pages than the average non-pervert.

look, i need the advertising revenue to fund my wandering lifestyle. and if i haven't thanked you for september's page-turns that resulted in a whopping $0.55 generated, then i do so now. on second thought, allow me to say, i hate you all.

kat... she be illin'

dara and kat's sister (i can't remember her name right now - so sorry)

the irish should be proud of their darling lasses, almost as proud as they should be of this guy

enjoy the pictures, you rapscallions!

damn this guy. although he signed up for a backpacking trip, complete with sleezy hotels and 3rd class transportation, he continuously insists on comfort and opulence. his only salvation is his desire to stay in fancy beachside resorts, bringing me along at little to no cost. i suppose when you earn a medical degree at UH-UMC (Univeristy of Haiti - Upstairs Medical College: it's not just for dental school dropouts anymore!) you're bound to have a few bucks to burn. but not all of us can attend a dubious, second-rate Bahamian medical schools, you see.

small pickle

i'm a simple man - i pay my taxes and attend sunday mass religiously (so to speak) - so generally, i disdain such comfort. at such establishments, you meet few worthy travelers while detesting the slew of package tourist clientele already booked in for their 5-day, 4-night 'adventure'. but as long as the price is right (i.e. free), i grudgingly accept the pickleboy's offers and desecrate the toilets he provides.
