How long do you want to ignore this user?

I got the Emily thing figured out. Look at the second picture. Danny Boy is hanging something on the door handle to "signal" that the jeep is a rockin and don't come a knockin. Emily stomps up in her hobbit feet, catches Dan doing the business, proceeds to work Dan over with his cheese grater, stuffs him in his spare (now empty) gas tank, and then hot foots it back to Canada.AggieChemist said:
Found it. Took less than five minutes.

From the website, this interesting tree...
From Dan...
Emily is the one that killed Dan when we all thought the natives of Africa were going to do the trick.

Wow, nothing for 2 days?

Dan was a good distraction from the lack of sip tears. Right now, the tears are flowing like Niagara falls. If I go more than a couple of hrs, there will be 100+ new tears posts on the premium board.
Yep, I think all the flowing sipness this weekend was a main reason I never even looked at this thread.
Okay. New pool.
Who's home first? Dan or Chollie?

I'd almost be tempted to put $10 on Dan just to play the oddsCenterpole90 said:

That, and Dan is boring as hell most of the time.BringJackieBack89 said:

At this point i would be surprised if he finishes even if he wants to. The east-northeast leg is lookong pretty unstable after kenya. South Sudan, Somalia, and Eritrea were already no goes on his route, leaving him to cut across Ethiopia and into Sudan. Ethiopia is getting hot, with the routes he would need to take to get where he wants to go currently cut off and inaccessible in certain spots. Whi knows what it would look like in 8 months though. He will probably end up hanging out in upscale Nairobi neighborhoods eating indian food for a month or two while acting like he's David Livingstone. Thay said, i think he runs out of money/gets bored and quits no later than Johannesburg
LOL. Dan finally broke and paid a bribe. Get used to it, dude. And once again, instead of getting a post with the flavor of the country he's passing through/into, we get "ADVENTURES OF DAN AT THE BORDER"
he threw a tantrum and refused to move his jeep for several hours, all over $18 USD. what a little beech.AggieChemist said:

Also, he was surprised about needing a visa? Shouldn't he have researched every country prior to going on this trip? I honestly don't know about Gambia, but when i went to Mali, I had to get a visa and it was good for 5 years. If other countries are similar, why not just get them all beforehand?
Because, according to Dan, the most important thing is to "just go." Blow on, Dan
He's such a bore. Thread unfollowed.
His refusals to pay a bribe will get him in trouble eventually.
This. Hopefully right around my initial guess of November 5th...Wink said:

refusing bribes in Africa is almost like the "AM I BEING DETAINED" nonsense whenever a cop looks in your direction. Do you have a valid argument? Possibly. Is it going to save you a crapload of hassle to give the petty 3rd world official an orange juice, a stick of juicy fruit and $3? Yes.
So a guy I know was the same about paying bribes in SE Asia and once when he was waiting in a long line at immigration, an official walked over to his family, asked for his passports and lead him into a back room. The official stamped everything and took care of everything and then asked for a bribe essentially. He kept refusing to pay. I had to explain to him how he didn't have to wait in the hour long line in the heat with his small children and he couldn't understand.
At that point, you're basically just paying for the express lane. Worth it.
He's still alive. And he's paid his first "bribe". The first of many, I suspect, if he wants to stay alive.

I sure wish he'd do something interesting soon.

I wish ol Dan would just teach us something interesting about Africa. Instead we get "no one knows why these are there" and he runs away from a woman asking for money b/c he ate fruit off the ground that did not belong to him.

it's kind of a nice juxtaposition to look at his instagram vs his webpage. His instagram is all happy "look at this" #adventure #wanderlust #etc, while his webpage is "XYZ tried to extort money from me so i felt uncomfortable"Quote:
I stop to take a photo of a huge anthill, and a local lady approaches me. We smile and exchange a wave, though I get the feeling she does not speak English. After a minute or so she picks up fruit that has fallen from the tree above, and shows me how to peel and eat it. I pickup my own and bite into it kind of a grainy textured apricot if I had to place it absolutely delicious. The lady, standing quite close to me, holds out her hand and says, in very clear English "Give Me Money".
I have had children begging, and even the odd injured person hold out their hand, though this demanding in my face is new. I feel really uncomfortable, and quickly move on.
He needs to hurry up and get to the other side of Guinea so the real fun will begin.
Did this moron do any research on Africa before embarking on his journey???TexasAggie_02 said:Quote:

REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am Prince Alyusi Islassis, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Major Abacha Tunde. He was first African in space when he made secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place taken up by return cargo. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home.
In the 14-years he has been on the station, he accumulates flight pay and interest amounting almost $ 15,000,000 American Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Lagos National Savings and Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return flight to bring him back to Earth. I am told this will cost $ 3,000,000 American Dollars. In order to access the his trust fund we need your assistance. Becuase of your Jeep mission in Africa, we are aware of yout exemplarary good will towards the Nigerian people.
Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account or subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or operating foreign accounts in our names.
Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 20 percent of the transferred sum, while 10 percent shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between the parties in the course of the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70 percent to other accounts in due course.
Thanking you I am,
Prince Alyusi Islassis

I've come to realize he's never going to die. He's going to putz around taking pics from resorts and on the side of paved roads and will be sitting in the presidential box at Hillary's first state of the union as she praises his wanderlust and encourages more people to be like Dan...all funded by us.
Dammit I keep getting sucked into checking this thread.
Not enough misspelled words....clearly a fake.
fight on Dan, gotta make it to November!rodan85 said:
