Finally an update. :) Bohm is busted. No philandering for him tonight. :P Oh, and in case I'm slammed for stereotyping again, Greek corporates and politicos generally tend to let themselves go. Like, a lot. ;)
Ah... Corporate types pretending it's all nicey, nicely and progress, meanwhile they're grinding up the bodies of poor unfortunates beneath the caterpillar tracks that support their monolithic establishment. All too realistic I'm afraid.
Bravo1102: The bad toupee made me chuckle. He's actually modelled after this guy: http://content-mcdn.e-go.gr/filesystem/images/20120409/low/2011122102421_120271302.jpg
He looks like Boss Tweed or Huey Long. Both well fed men who were powerful politicians back in the day. Or Winston Churchill with a bad toupee? Dare I say Chris Christie the current governor of NJ? Big powerful bullies of business and politics. No stereotype just reality.
That's true. But it's still not a stereotype unless you present ALL the collaborators/corporate types as fat guys. I see a whole party of people who aren't. ;) The donut-loving fat law enforcement officer is a stereotype too, but I know half a dozen of them in real life. (Plus a dozen or so fit young guys and a couple of ladies.)
Ha! I was refering to the 'fat corporate' stereotype, Usedbooks XD Unfortunately though during the occupation the only resident fat guys in Athens would be collaborators and high class (i.e. away from the people) at that, because being fat= having food= being in league with the Nazis, and that got you nabbed by the populace. As in, if you weren't in cahoots with them, you wouldn't be able to be fat even if you wanted to.
So there's the guy who ruins parties with business talk. There's always one. --- Dunno how the big guy is a stereotype, Tantz, unless he's the only fat guy in the whole story/world (or if all the fat guys in the world are also politicians). I mean, technically fat guys exist. Like black people, women, and the disabled, they seem to be either absent or token characters in most fiction. :P

Hahaha bigger guys are charismatic I guess, so they always seem to end up in positions of power, or so it seems that way a lot of the time. :o
