Lst weekend was the anthropology department's annual pig roast. We go to this house waaay out in the country, roast a pig, have a potluck, and generally enjoy ourselves. One of the anthropologically-oriented activities is guessing the mystery meat. This year there were 2 mystery meats. So two people got an unknown (to the rest of us) type of meat, cooked it, and everyone tried a piece and tried to guess what it was. The meats this year were beef tongue and goat. Another rather odd activity we do is an atl-atl throw. An atl-atl is a device designed to help you throw a spear faster and farther than you can throw a spear alone. It kind of extends your arm so you can put more force into your throw. At least, that is how it is supposed to work if you are good at it. While some people can use an atl-atl to throw a spear pretty well, most of us have trouble keeping our aim accurate with the atl-atl. Here is Brian watching as Geoff uses the atl-atl.
This is Tim Parsons, who goes to Hungary with me. This is the only picture Brian took, so it is the only one with me in it.
Here is a closer picture of Brian, looking at the chickens in their coop. You can see his new glasses in this photo. Earlier I mentioned that I was going to wait until after the haircut to post a picture of Brian with his glasses, but he is unsure about when the haircut will happen and how much will be cut off. Since I am impatient, I am having trouble waiting without a hard deadline.
