  • you're quite the Xanthropologist, NFP


    ...commented seanmeister.


    This from the Xangeroo I consider the pre-eminent improvixanger, the one who monkeys most brilliantly with code to make our sites more fun. Damn, the man even features The Smileypropomatic Javascript Generator , a magnificent machine that forever has changed the face of our Xanga  currency (yes, my eProps not only flash, they're bigger than yours! hahaha).


    But Xanthropologist ??  Naw, I'm just a curious blogger lost on my xangabouts, encountering the bizarre, benign, droll, and marvelous on my endless xangoddysey.


    If you recall from a previous blog:


    I have found the actual lost kingdom of Xanga (<--no shit) at last!!!



    I hereby declare it our Mecca!  All true Xangaroos are hereby instructed to travel thereto sometime during their lifetime.


    Whoever gets there first, please blog back and inform if the accomodations are suitable to my needs for kingly comfort! wahahaha


    (p.s., the link to the kingdom of Xanga above doesn't always seem to be available--too funny!  If not, begin your journey here.)


    (p.p.s., Nyree observed that Fucole--she laughs because she imagines as I imagine that it's pronounced *fuck-all*--is near Xanga!  Well, Gole and Candua are near Xanga and Fucole, too!  So...if my Gole is to Fucole Xanga, I suppose it's something we Candua!!! Mwuhauhauaua   )


    ...and, yes, now I have found our way to get there, and our manna to sustain us upon the way...



    The Raft (translated from Portugeuse) was the typical Boat of the Brazilian northeast coast, was brought of Asia, for the Portuguese, where it had the name of " xanga ", in the ends of century XVI.  Its fragile construction does not use pregos in six logs wooden light, two mimburas, two edges and two woods of center, to form the floor. Placed on the floor, we find the candle bank, the salgadeira, carninga, bank of government, calçador, chocks of the bilge keel, espeque, tolete, you line, mast, crossbar and you peg. Used in it fishes, its capacity depends on the size, a raft of 39 palmos can support with easiness the weight of two toneladadas.  The fishing that work in the raft respect a hierarchy with much discipline and solidarity, the master is who orders in the raft and has the function to direct, its rank is the bank-of-government, the proeiro is to the side of the salgadeira, collects the product of fishes and places in samburá, when she is necessary wets the cloth with the cuia of candle, thus more good using to advantage the impulse of the wind, the peak-of-nose goes the front counterbalancing the weight, and rebique, generally a boy or an old one, fits the work lightest. The Xangadeiros (i.e., Xangeroos ) had been the first Brazilians who if had refused to carry enslaved blacks, come of the ships to be sold.


    And to compliment our diet of freshly-caught fish, we have:


    Xanga Cheesecake deep-fried inside a flour tortilla rolled in cinamon and sugar served with Vanilla Ice Cream

    Our Captain??  Of course, dreadpirate!!
