the 15th and the last day of the month remind me exactly why i do all this anyway ...
... of course, after checking my bank account, i'm really not sure it quite makes it worth it.
(on a side note. when in brasil, don't say "payday" loudly when in a crowd, even if just professing your undying love for the classic american peanut candybar. you might get a few funny looks and scrinched noses: the word sounds just like the the conjugated verb that means "i farted". fyi.)

so i learned a new portuguese phrase yesterday:
cai num buraco e morra!
just thought i would share.
oh, that's so mean!
try this one:
va plantar bananeiras no asfalto com picareta de borracha.
or:
va ver se estou na esquina.
i have some others ... but i'll let you get started with those, okay? :P
Good Stuff-I remember that being a classic joke in the CTM to pull on the newbies that had just arrived in Brasil (trying to get them to say payday) . It got pulled on me while eating with some Brazilian Sisters. Lots of laughs were had by all at my expense.
