@Jamon_Salve Kramer vs. Kramer?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣 Are they fighting for custody of that peladito?

...to serve as his bodyguard while he was here in town. He agreed and for the next 15 or 20 minutes we just ran away together from his crazed fans for whom he stopped occasionally to give a couple autographs. We finally escaped by jumping onto a trash truck.

I dreamed that I saw Slavoj Zizek being mobbed on the street here in Bogotá by a bunch of Colombian teenage fans and he started running away. I jogged next to him and explained that we'd met (true story) when I worked at at art organization where he gave a talk. I offered...

@LondoMomposino As long as they restore the building, I don't care what they put in it. 😁

@ColombiaCalling Why do you think they come out at the same time of year? (Speaking of which, Happy New Year to you, the family, and the CC family!)

[Museum Nerd (2008-2024) @museumnerd]

@ColombiaCalling I remember one like it from last year. I feel like the articles function like instructions for how to rip off stupid tourists. I mean... Why'd they pay? It's so obviously an absurd price. La gente es viva! This guy came to Colombia with all his papayas and is leaving with none.
