I live in Athens, in exarxeia and this dog is very famous and everybody feeds and loves this animal.BUT his name is LOUK,from Loukanikos a word that means sausage,because he used to eat sausages all the time.He lives on the street,he has no master and he, allong with 4-5 other dogs comes to every demonstration here in ahens.You will find him every day in MESOLLOGIOU street,where ALEXANDROS GRIGOROPOULOS,a 15 year old student was shot by the police.
KANELLOS was another dog that used to act the same,but he died two years ago and now he is buried by comrades inside the Polytechneio university in Athens,where the uprising against dictatorship took place,in 1973.The members of Indymedia athens,used to feed him.Also when Kanellos was caught by the dog catcher 4 years ago,a demo of 400 people took place and we released him from the dog catcher!You can find his grave inside the university.Kanello RIP!
These dogs live in Exarxeia and they don’t belong to nobody.We call them”the dogs of the movement” and there many of them, such as ROZA,DICK,RIBO,PETROS,LOUCY.Its funny but they are our comrades,we protect and feed them and they protect us as well.
Here are some videos of comrade Kanellos,a legend of Exarcheia!

The dog is real, he is a stray -the collar and the tag show he’s vaccinated by the municipal services- and during riots or demonstrations ALWAYS takes the side of the demonstrators. He’s something of an icon in Athens and everybody loves him. He’s not the only one, though. There are other dogs too, but he is the most active and therefore the most famous. @Kostas, I Think that his father, Kanellos, has his own monument in TUA…”

I just found out about this group last week through Illustrated Example. This is the best song I’ve heard in ages, its so damn depressing though
Ted Ginn for a 5th Rounder?
I’ll take it (though Santonio would’ve been better)

When I was young my dad used to take me to San Francisco as a birthday/Xmas present to see the 49ers play. We also went to St. Louis (shithole) to see the Bucs play the Rams. In 2000 we had season tickets to the Broncos their last year at Mile High.
I’ve been pretty damn fortunate !

Songkran Festival
“Songkran is the traditional Thai New Year festival since the former time. It is a celebration that embraces goodwill, love, compassion, and thankfulness, using water as the means of expression.”
I’ve been in Thailand over 7 months now and I would say that at least 80% of the Thai people I meet ask me if I have ever been to Songkran. It’s a huge deal out here. For three days the entire city participates in a massive water fight. The city I am in (Chiang Mai) is supposed the be the #1 spot for Songkran. Should be pretty ridiculous and it lasts 3 days Here is a link with some pics:

This is not Thailand
I was in my room listening to music and heard two loud bangs outside my window. They scared the crap out of me because they were so loud. I didn’t think much of it since the kids down the way light off fireworks on a regular basis. A few minutes later I heard a woman in hysterics so I went downstairs. There was a woman laying motionless in the middle of the road, surrounded by a pool of blood. Her back was facing me but it was obvious she was dead. A couple of minutes later the police arrived and taped everything off. I didn’t realize at first but she was also holding a baby. Luckily the woman managed to save the babies life by (I’m assuming) turning her back towards the gunman.
After about another 10 minutes some journalists appeared and starting taking pictures of her. They were allowed to take photos inches away from her dead body. They will most likely be published in the paper tomorrow.
The worst part of the entire event was when a friend or family member of this woman showed up and completely lost it.
Who the hell shoots a woman with a baby in her hands? what a coward
