"turkish carpet salesman"  sounds like something you would find on urbandictionary.com  along with certain rusty band instruments.

Persian/Turkish carpets are money if you have some knowledge.  Bought 2 nicely designed carpets for $1,600. Much higher appraisal value in the States about 3x-4x (what US dealer will pay).  The Euro is ruining travel for Americans.  Turkey was still on their Lira.  It was the only really shopping bargain in "Europe".  Turkey is trying to go Euro in 2009. Triple that $1,600 then just to buy in Turkey, and less upvalue when you get home.

The upvalues in 2006 had JT feeling like Reg with a waverunner to sell.

Maybe if the US $ wasn't ****, but JT doesn't see that changing any time soon against the Euro or Pound.

Istanbul is a trip, isn't it JT? I was cruising the markets in Istanbul myself a few years ago. Ended up shipping 4 carpets home, they still look good adorning my hardwood floors. Spent a day in the market and the mosques, then finished with a Turkish bath, then headed downtown. The entire population of Istanbul must go downtown at night. Some kid, about 10 years old, with a shoe shine kit and egged on by his friends, chased me around wanting to shine my beat up, dirty Topsiders that were as old as he was. I finally relented and he said I could pay him whatever I wanted. So I peeled off a several  thousand liras from my wad (the equivalent of 4-5 bucks, and boy did his eyes light up.
The Turkish bath was quite the experience.

Had a great time.  Did the Turkish bath too.  The only spooky thing was the sundown call to prayer over the loudspeakers in the city.  Its a democratic Muslim country, but all JT could think about was the movie "Midnight Express" and that JT and FMJT were a long way from home.

All Bman can say about that is, that once it was pointed out...you couldn't help but see it....It was plain as day....

Bman does not meatgaze...unless he is in a butcher shop

Pep is happy to report that, to date, the band has no rusty trombone players. At least not of which Pep is aware.

without giving away spoilers it wasn't your typical episode. Almost the entire hour is about Tony & Carm's trip to his sisters lake house in upstate NY (hey-ohh!!).

Things aren't looking good for Tony.

The Rev is back and dishing out +K's to all of the funny stories he has finally caught up on.

What has happened to Norwich, NY?  There was a murder, an attempted murder, an absentee landlord from NJ raping his 13 year-old tenant, and meth is making in-roads.

WTF?

I think all these jackasses from the City need to get the hell out of The Rev's hometown so that natives can go back to commiting incest in peace and quiet.

LD11 does NOT like 6:30am flights.  It's way too early for LD11 to be awake.  LD11 likes to slee until atleast 8:30.  And to make things worse, LD11 has to deal with Long Islanders.  LD11's heard hurts already.
