I was going to take you to Angel And Tang prison.
After The second comment, I changed my mind and I'll let you off the hook this time LOL.

This will turn to this in no time !!

I have never seen one in person. Andrew would lose it for him!

That tank would be perfect in the spot I have! I found a used one almost identical here over the summer, it was 900.00 with no sump or lights.

You really do need four tanks. I assume you would end up with all of them set up.

As discussed at Simon’s @najer build thread. I am sharing a guid on how we Arabs great each other lol

We love to kiss each other and I know many may feel awkward.

1. The double-kiss on the cheek is mandatory 96% of the time. Yes, some people consider you rude if for not swapping grease and/or slime.

2. When you arrive, you kiss everybody hello, starting with the person nearest to you from right to left and going in a circle. When you leave, you kiss everybody goodbye.

3. If you happen to be seated when someone walks in, you stand and wait for the greeting around 30 seconds before the person reaches you.

4. Women kiss women. Women kiss men. Men kiss men. Sorry guys, but you cannot avoid the man kiss.

5. But don’t kiss the other gender unless you are really good friends, really close family, or if you’re totally sure the other person won’t mind.

6. Do not, and I repeat, do not, touch anyone’s cheek with your lips. It’s really just for show, your lips should actually just kiss the air and make the popping sound.

7. Unless you want to get caught in a very uncomfortable lip-lock, kiss the right cheek first and then 3 kisses on the left.

8. Often, the kissing greeting is compulsory for even people you just met. If you feel reserved about kissing them during the first handshake, you probably should when you’re about to depart.

9. If you want to show that the greeting is particularly heart-felt, lay your palm on the person shoulder as you greet

Number 7 is my favorite. Who knew it was so complicated? Are there “kiss police” like Tang police? Some old aunt who monitors everyone’s etiquette?

 

[fabutahoun]

Imagine at my wedding exactly 10 years ago I had to kiss 500 guests 2 time each. . My cheeks were so numb that time

 

[Katrina71]

@fabutahoun in the South we are similar. The males don't kiss usually. The males hug sometimes during the hand shake. Females...we hug and kiss everybody. Males and females. Our lips actually do touch. Even a brief lip kiss is not unusual.

LOL , you just pretend that it never happened

 

[Katrina71]

@fabutahoun if we ever all get to visit, I will be so happy and excited I'm sure I would break your rules. I'm going to ask for forgiveness in advance.

 

[Katrina71]

I may need forgiveness in advance from all of you guys not from the South.

Down south guys shake hands and if they are good friends, get pulled in for a hug and a firm pat on the back. Like Katrina said, girls kiss everybody. Love living in the south.

 

[fabutahoun]

Looks like south is a lovely place ! I’d love to visit some time

You should!

 

[NY_Caveman]

Hey, I kiss all of my friends up North here too. Male and female. My middle brother hates it so he gets extra.

 

[Katrina71]

@fabutahoun I need to explain hugging. There is the side hug, the hug with space between both people(almost a lean), and the full frontal hug with no boundaries. The full frontal hug is common with people you are comfortable with.

 

[NY_Caveman]

@fabutahoun are these customs relaxed in a business setting?

 

[Katrina71]

I almost forgot "the love pat" popping someone on the tail is also a friendly gesture sometimes. You see it all the time in American football.

 

[fabutahoun]

In business meetings it is a little different. Sometimes men kiss in meetings if we have known each other for a long time and it’s been a long time we didn’t see each other. For meetings with people that we never met before just a simple handshake

 

[sfin52]

than you have the bro hug. Reserved for good friends and family. Only male to male most of the time.
