If you live or worked on some lovely kibbutz with majestic olive tree groves, eating aromatic plates of yummy shawarma, don't start defending that postage stamp sized oasis. Stumble a few steps to the left or right and your surrounded by fucking rocks and sand. Rocks and sand.

While ruminating in the Middle Easter region I've been tossing around a great villain name for a James Bond type spy movie. Pindar Puffter. Neither the surname nor last name have any Arabic roots. Sounds like a stereotypical name for a crime syndicate heavy. The UK peeps will recognise puffter as slang for a gay guy. Funny, we call em fags, which you call a cigarette. Too bad puffter isn't yankee for a fluffy doughnut. Some Alabama cop vacationing in London, asks a builder where he can get a puffter, and the builder tells him he'll let him know if he gives him a fag. And, pindar is apparently Croatian for a gay guy as well. This was related to me by a coworker who is second generation Croatian, after I had just explained to the room what puffter was all about.

Pindar Puffter strikes again!
