Having Adventures: banniNation on Safari

The term safari is a 19th century Kiswahili term referring to a cross-country expedition usually for the purpose of hunting or viewing wildlife in East Africa (derived from the Arabic term safar meaning to journey), but it can mean traveling in general. Going on safari outside our home countries is getting more difficult with TSA pat downs, stance checks and body cavity searches (jk on the stance check - I think). 95% of bNers/bNettes have traveled in North America (makes sense given the meatspace citizenship of bN). A few souls have braved foreigners (ha! ha!), customs agents, and immigration to bring back reports from beyond the edges of the map where dragons live and cannibals haunt the jungles. One bNer/Nette has even safaried to Antarctica and lived to tell the tale.

If we take my dad's favorite phrase having adventures, which he uses to describe my total inability to stay put and lead a normal life like other people, then certainly the population of banniNation is doing that. Whether it is totalsecurity narrowly avoiding skanky women in Wasilla, AK, heresyoftruth posting bacon tits, burntman soaking up sunshine in Manica with a cold beer and prawns, ludditemike taking really early morning bike rides to photograph his MI town, modi traveling the world in the name of good health, lard baron hiking in Bavaria, or even grahams herding all the cool cats that populate bN, we are definitely having adventures.
