I mean sure but they made sure her hair was blonde and lighted her so her skin would look lighter than it is. But I'm sleep.

This is so great generally speaking and I'm happy for everybody involved but it looks like maybe they lightened her skin?!? Hopefully just the lighting???

I really wish she got a bit more credit for having intellectual curiosity.

Christ, remind me to never pass out at a party with you around.

Waking up with a crude Sharpie dick on one's face is bad enough but you'd probably be all up in there incorporating cheek moles to represent some tiny obscure penis glands and making that shit a masterpiece.

I used to work for a mosquito control department and they (and the CDC) have been shitting their pants about Chikungunya and its enormous potential for spreading in the southern US for a few years now. There are a few monitoring programs in place, but as long as people leave shit out in their yards that collect water,…

Cosigned. I work in public health preparedness and it is no joke.

UGH. My brother had Chick V. It is ROUGH. Between the fever and the body aches, it really sucks. A bunch of people I know had it too. Tropical country and all that. I hope she feels better. Apparently the body aches can last up to 2 weeks after the virus leaves your system.

Chikungunya is not a joke. It overran us in the US Virgin Island a few months ago affecting thousands of people over the course of several months. As you note, younger people fare better, (my wife was symptom free after about 7 days) but others are not so fortunate. I know people who still have limited hand mobility…

Chikungunya is also present in Central and South America.

Seems relevant...

I think you should amend the title to say fake beating, at first glance, you are implying she was hitting someone for real. This is just click bait and sad

As I was told it´s animals, wich raised some interesting questions about were-chickens. But then again, my relative was said to be a sort of were-crane, so it´s not like I can go around judging were-tortoises.

Thank you for this post. I was wondering about this tradition, and you explained it beautifully.

Barbadian is the formally correct term. Bajan is a Barbadian/Caribbean colloquialism.

You hope the cardboard boxes are fake? They make fake cardboard?
