".. you sound way too rational when compared to your interacts on other boards!"

Thanks for noticing. A true momin need never lose his sense of humour!

Regards.

Re: # 14
The 'shielded dessert' came via 'Desert Shield', I'm sure you noted THAT!

My paragraph makes it quite clear that the operation was strictly 'line-of-sight' and which ended with very eastern self-censorship!

You may imagine what you like but remember that the good doctor from Toronto is always watching!

Regards.

644,

Queen willing, your complaint will hopefully be addressed in the next piece.

Dhoti to kilt is a huge jump for the sensitive CHOWK readers.

Tahir saab,

Very well written. Right touch of humor, surreal-ness, arrogance, and brilliance, if I may say so :)

Re: # 20
Thanks Hurricane sahib!

Brilliance is a special kind of arrogance that the ignorant are doomed to forever misunderstand.

Who said that? I did, just now...

Regards.

Please copy paste and share liberally with Front pagers and off the wallers. You're on a mission ;)

Re: # 319 (on allah mian's board); Tahir mian

I know "below the belt" doesn't matter to you since you have nothing there for it to hurt, but on a serious note, since you live in the very "shaitaan buzurg" that you seem to condemn, what is the guarantee your own daughter wouldn't turn out to agree with all this?

How would you feel your daughter being talked about like that....just show some maturity you so vehemently claim to possess..

Attention all CHOWKidars:

A kangaroo that escaped from Manchester zoo, disguised as a surgeon, is accusing me of possessing nothing below the 'nara'. Some animals--when they see a behemoth below that very line--are in the habbit of labelling the event 'nothing'.

The animal is in throes of death wishing to know where I reside. The kangaroo has no clue how Muslim daughters are brought up: very differently from how female-kangaroos are raised in the bush.

Donate generously to fill the kangaroo's empty sack.

Tahir mian, fantastic, even I cannot write like this, and coming from me that is compliment par excellence = ), as hamid would tell you I'm "pompous".

You should also know why Hamid is so mad at you, he is a wannabe, you're the real thing.

The plastic smile part is exceptionally well stated "This is her last and final plastic smile; she has already greeted and smiled three hundred times before."

You can be damn sure that just as she is deceiving you and the 300 others "for the job", she deceives her family and even herself....such is the nature of the corporatized society and how it destroys the human. 300 plastic smiles day in and day out and they say that the job the defines the existence based on the rules of the corporation, cannot translate into how you conduct yourself at home, they must be damn fools....

Re: # 26
Ah! Mr. Siddiqi from California?

Miss Shandana said the same thing ('bloody good writer'); are you two blood-relatives?

In case you've been away fishing and have not read my posts, beware who you associate with!

Anyway, thanks.

Re: # 27
Well, Mr. Asadi himself!

Thanks for the very specific comments about the 'plastic smile' lines.

All praise is due to the 'One who has taught [man] the use of the pen, taught man what he did not know!'

You too write, THAT is what is important. Good or bad is in the eye of the beholder. What you say is not a secret, millions KNOW but are helpless in the face of this Pharaonic system. When the tide turns, these penguins in tailcoats will return to the beaches they left.

Mad rage is fiery in nature, do reason with arguements from the Qur'an.

And thanks for the 'real thing' comment. Some would say that you're referring to a softdrink with a similar slogan!

Regards.

Tahir #659,
"Impressive! and a very good job at pleasantly explaining out of context quotes - something our Injun friends love to pass around to each other."

Thanks for appreciating! I wish more of us did this instead of joining the jeering ignorant.

Mr./Miss Koenraad kept quite for a long time and then came up with THIS! Obviously he's not a casual interactor but tries to stab deeply.

Perhaps it is THIS Koenraad at http://koenraadelst.voiceofdharma.com/

Here's something from the past:

The Importance of Natural Selection

Re: # 510

Koenraad, a very shallow (innocent) choice! Here is your favourite anti-religion Vexen Crabtree (Germany) site's info for CHOWK readers. As you can see, he is very 'vexed'. What he reads is this: Richard Dawkins, Anton LaVey, John Wyndham, Gavin Baddeley, Peter Gilmore, Douglas Adams, Tolkien, Marx, Naomi Klein, Naom Chomsky, Friedrich Nietzsche!

Vexen Crabtree's Live Journal: Sociology, Theology, Anti-Religion and Exploration: Forcing Humanity Forwards. Want more life! More time to write, more affection, more hours in the day, more time to read, more intelligent conversation (only one person at my work can maintain intelligent commentary on whatever topic we hit upon). I have to sleep less, work faster, type faster, think clearer... and find a way past my present location's complete FTP-ban (and ftp proxy ban) in order to upload texts. I have to make a greater name, make a bigger difference, teach more people, be harder, overcome my own weaknesses and failures, and get more out of everything I do. Because, like, I've lived a third of my life, and I haven't done a third of what I wanted to have.
