		<description>Well, now, that all depends on whether you English teacher-with-an-h is Nigerian or not, and whether there's a Sally present holding the camera, or whether sweeping ethnic generalizations are fair or decent regardless of spam content, I suppose, or whether people who smoke weed know the first thing about dissociative disorders or are just talking out their moon-cracks.

Now, i didn't know that Jeff was married.  One wonders if i can borrow his wife.  I bet she's hot.</description>

		<description>Wow.  And miss all the tryptophanic glory of Thanksgiving just to fuck a few natives?  I'm at least as cute as one or two of those girls. Woot.</description>

		<description>As we all know, "confessions" are a sleight-of-hand magic show of smoke and mirrors to hide the real secret.

What Jeff "may" not want you all to learn is -- he is probably incapable of making a successful re-entry to America.

Not only does Korean "work experience" render most an irrelevant curiosity to home employers, the doors are often shut for deeper reasons.

The guardians of America have monitored, and measured his attitude compliance while abroad: economic benefits and social privileges may have been withdrawn. 

Don't let this happen to you.

Drink your brains out, fuck the natives, pretend you made your ambassadorship contribution to World Peace -- then get back home before you become another Peter Pan ruminating about Korea.

Come on Jeff, tell it straight to these folks!</description>

		<description>Wow.  Weed's legal in Korea?  Who knew?

I could use a creeping drift into la-la land myself.  Can I come over?</description>

		<description>My dear brother Adam,

Did I really?  When was this?  I have no recollection of that shirt.  I remember my "Keep on Truckin'" t-shirt, my "Return of the Jedi" t-shirt, my "Dracula" t-shirt, My hand silkscreened Dr. Who TARDIS t-shirt, and my hand-made "1984-What comet?" t-shirt.  No memory of a "gopher it" t-shirt.  Perhaps you are confusing it with my "Be alert. The world needs more lerts" t-shirt that had a vaguely gopheresque critter on it.

NB.  You may have noticed that the fact that I have a brother named Adam apparently wasn't big enough to make the biography either....</description>

		<description>Hum, apparently the fact you owned a shirt that read "Gopher It!" superimposed over an anthropomorphic rodent isn't big enough to make the biography?
