about us at "all greek to me"

OK, Look. Let's agree to start out our new relationship based on honesty and integrity.

The "US" bit in the "About Us" heading it's a bit misleading. It implies the existence of someone else doing this alongside me and, well, there isn't, at least not yet. I am hoping to drag my English wife into all this, on the condition she will only correct my suspect spelling - and most certainly will not interfere or attempt to alter the course of my Greek thought processes or subject matter or writting style. She can start her own blog for that. 

She has done enough damage to my Greeknes already, what, with her chronic disapproving look every time I cheat on Risk, Cards or Monopoly, or burb, or lie. This is something that in her language is called: "Conditioning", and yes, I can now finally "see" all the different shades of Green, I can listen to bloody Annie Lenox, again and again, without having an epileptic seizure, I do lift the lid, I have quit smoking, I walk quite a lot, I have given up on our National trademark of masculinity - The BIG Greek tummy obsuring the view of one's pennis, I have 5 dogs and 2 cats, for Christ sake, which I have INSIDE my house, and I even love and believe them to have souls and individual character. How much less Greek can I get. Enough is enough. Fight back the "Conditioning". It is time for me to do what we Greeks do best, argue, assert, proclaim, persuade, and, failing all else, Corrupt.

Maybe some bars of Lacta Chocolate will do the trick. To bribe her! Bribery, sweet bribery, where whould this fucking country be without it. In a better fucking place, perhaps. 

To Bribe is to be Greek.

To turn down a bribe amounts to a personal insult, which is just not a very nice thing to do.

For the record, I never gave or received a bribe. What does this make me?

Greek, Malaka, Both, Neither?

Confucius Quote of the Week: "GREEK IS THE BEST...YOGHURT!" 

That's a very long story...

Well, that's easy. All the Greeks all over the world, whether it is by birth, choice, attitude, marriage, friendship, occasional or frequent association with any thing Greek, whether this by aquisition, ownership or conquest, by osmosis, or neighbourship, if you have slept with one or more than one, once or more than once, of the same or opposite sex, if you have eaten Mousaka and/or Kalamari and/or Greek Yoghurt and/or Greek Feta at least once, if you know or have known of a Greek, directly or indirectly, dead or alive, ancient or modern, if you hate-or have done so in the past- at least one Turk, (mouthwash), directly or indirectly, ancient or modern, if you are lacking any moral fibre but you are stupid and romantic enough as to be willing to die for the ideals of morality, if you support Man Utd or PAOK, if you keep your car clean by dirtying the forrest as you drive through it, if you can't respect order and law, if you jumb queues and light up your fags in your country, whilst you bite the head off anyone who will dare to the same when you are visiting barbaric, foreign lands, if you are a lier tired of liers and lies, and if you know just a fraction of what I do, well, you all qualify as my users.

As you can see from the strict criteria set above, this is a very choosy company you are part of. Take great pride and wear your Tshirt with honor. Llearn the secret handshake. Failing all else, wearing a Rolex will certainly get you through this very exclusive AllGreekToMe Club's gates.
