At least now I know it wasn't personal when I was not allowed to buy that reindoe.
But the Chukchi herders were soon sent back to Siberia: missionaries did not like the way the Siberians used their own urine to guide reindeer, among other "savage" practices
I enjoyed this detail from the linked article.
2: Some have argued that Putin learned this technique from the Chukchi herders, and has utilized it to "guide" a certain American President.
"Blessed are the pissmakers, for they shall be fishers of moose."
Today's Republican Party isn't just racism and watersports.
The Eskimos themselves used urine to wash, so you can see what the government thought they were up against.
Anyway, that link is a good summary of the history and I appreciate this post.
I especially like that it notes that Jackson was mistaken when he thought the Eskimos were starving. What basically happened is that he went on a trip to review conditions in the Bering Strait region and saw that visiting whalers were hunting a lot of walruses, which the Eskimos relied on for food. Both of those facts were true, but Jackson also saw the Eskimos living in what looked to him like impoverished squalor and assumed it was because the whalers were killing all the walruses so they couldn't get enough to eat. (In reality, they were doing fine economically and that's just how they lived.) Solution: Reindeer!
Or, presumably, what smelled to him like impoverished squalor.
The Romans used urine for cleaning and they were horrible assholes.
8 means endorsement of OP.last.
The Eskimos have over a hundred letters for P.
No-one's quite sure because the first one has frozen over by the time they've peed the last one into the snow.
All the pee is melting now, releasing the methane from trapped farts and accelerating global warming. Or something.
11. According to Catullus, the Iberians brushed their teeth with it (urine).
Ooh, Amadea is good. I might go with that. Thanks!
If she's a stoner, "Baked Alaska" would work.
Teoeros so we can all misread it as Toe-oreos.
I misread it as Teo's rhinoceros. Which would be great, and possibly appropriate, but definitely requires the lady's sign-off.
I keep confusing the rename teo's gf thread with the o, Hai thread because I'm only capable of one non-English language at a time, notwithstanding all the Spanish I'm hearing. (to be fair, people are speaking English when they care if I understand them)
Anyway, is there no variation on tiburon you smart people can come up with?
It's delightful, of course, that the girlfriend likes teo. Should her name not reflect, though, some identity beyond this?
I think if she commented here, I would feel strongly about her having an identity beyond teoluvvvvvv. How about Teoluvvvvvv?
