I could post the first comment! think of something funny!!! Dammit, come on… come on… Uh, The Emperor’s New Clothes? Testing new cloaking technology? Damn, that wasn’t funny at all… Next one’s bound to be good, following this act. Meh.

In the lowermost picture, either the guys are talking about fishing, or the DPRK authorities have some serious work to do weed out the corrupt foreign habits and gestures.
And the uppermost pic, pure Tom of Korea stuff.

On a more serious note, 10 families may be enroute to Camp 22 once the nork narcs who routinely comment on blogs report this loss of face back to the regime.

There seems to be lots of strange things going on at the border thesedays:

It may seem odd but these guys are for real and I would not laugh.

First picture:
“C’mon guys, we can’t all play on the ’skins’ team!”
“So when does this Klein guy show up?”

Second Picture:
“If I hit this bird, I eat today.”
“That fat guy in the dunk tank sure is annoying… Oh no! It’s Dear Leader!”

Third picture:
Yeah…. I got nothing that doesn’t involve fisting. Nevermind then.

Is it just the tensions, or do these guys all look like soccer hooligans?

Photo 1-That Pawikirogi labors under some stupid world views and a racism that is vile even by DPRK standards, but he absorbed our bukkake like a nubile Japanese schoolgirl.

11 pawikirogi October 11, 2006 at 3:58 am

just a warning to all who post here: a while back, i emailed marmot several times about technical problems. it seems marmot thinks it’s ok to share information about those who write to him personally since i see he’s given dda my e mail address. you had no right to do that, marmot. can i ask you what other information you gave him? did you give him my name too?

no sense of honour, huh?

12 pawikirogi October 11, 2006 at 4:03 am

one last thing, it just occurred to me that marmot and his friends are geeks into computors. i’ll bet marmot and friends acutally spy on those who post here. just like a good bunch of communists with nothing much to do.

do you spy on your posters, marmot?

When these guys march in front of pyongyang, they look so disciplined. However, when they are out of his sight and infront of the camera, they are fun.

Pawikirogi—dda (along with me) has administrative privledges on this blog. I don’t need to give him your email address—it enters the system after you register.

Nice try, though. Play again later.

P.S.—I erased the comment with your email address.  Ordinarilly, I’d issue an apology, but for you, I’ll make an exception.

15 Iceberg October 11, 2006 at 8:31 am

Not giving anyone in particular any advice or anything but…if I were paranoid that someone were spying on me, I’d probably never ever ever come back to this blog.

Again, not speaking to anyone in particular.

16 Brendon Carr October 11, 2006 at 10:04 am

Wait, you have pawikirogi’s name? It’s isn’t “Deb Frisch”, is it? Sure feels that way.

17 a-letheia October 11, 2006 at 11:49 am

Brendon,

he’s had you, “lawyer”, in his scope… getting spooky…

First picture…North Koreans literally lost their shirt (and pants) by going forward with the test.

Second…North Korean B-boy showing off his new moves.

Third…”F@#$ the Subway diet. Our dear leader has come up with a far superior plan to make us lose weight than those capitalist dogs.”
