Prem: Just to let ya know, Im an avid student of the art of Lesbianism. Much like Islam, its the ((butchy)) vocal minority which has given all the fine lesbians out there a bad name.

We need more young desi lesbians to stand up and fight for their lesbianism-ness. Sadly, like all freedom fighters, there just arent enough of them...

PS: As always, Zafar shares my opinion on this one. We repesent the voice of all moderate Musalmans! Inshallah we shall overcome...

Studebaker/Shah/Fatima: What`s a mufukka got to do to get harrassed around here??? Gimmie ya best shot!!

DRUMZ #447, `` The whole point of the mama joke is to make fun of the dude, not his mama. Unfortunately this timeless form of expression has taken on negative connotations. Yes I do blame

the white man for this too.``

Oh you mean THOSE `mama` jokes? those ``yo momma so short you can see her feet on her driver`s license`` type of jokes?

See I thought you meant THOSE OTHER kind of mama jokes. The bad ones that most men here are accustomed to.

Reply Shankar # 432

To Poonawala: ”Which leads to another point---your own statements have given ammunition to the bigots on the other side of the fence to say ; ``see, he`s just a hindu posing as a pro-Indian muslim``.

HEY!!!! Urstruly told me that I was working this side of the street…

Reply Shah etc. # 438

“1 What are you recruiting me to?

brotherhood of MEN”

Deepika, Bijli, Lajwanti, Fatimah, Shabana, Fawzia (?), Deepika etc. cannot invite anybody to the brotherhood of man. Sort that out first. I’m sorry if I left any of you out.

Zafar

re studebreaker

``I know the usage of the term Catholocity or catholic in the English language which akin to term momin ,muslim in urdu .``

The actual definition is as follows from the Advanced Oxford Dictionary:

catholic, adj. including many or most things; general; universal.

There is no relation here with muslim or momin in urdu or English for that matter.

``Samjhe babu .I can speak your language can you mine ??``

Most likely I can speak `your` language better than you can.

``rekhtaa ke tumhii.n ustaad nahii.n ho ``Ghalib``

kahate hai.n agale zamaane me.n ko_ii `miir` bhii thaa ``

By the way, the word `rekhta` here refers to Urdu.

Neither in `your` language nor in `mine`, do I need lessons from you. You may need a lesson in being gracious from the rest of us here.

re: studebaker

``If the lady wants to be treated equally ,she should pick her own garbage.

``No man is ever taken advantage of unless a woman,spy ,3rd womanseducer or betryal by another woman.``

``defence against exploitation by women``

``If women forum of south asian women can be ONLY FOR WOMEN,why not men have exclusive anything?``

...hehe, that`s some wicked $hit...i dare you to go to Wellesley College with all that written on a posterboard and scream it out by the student union building...

Dear Shankar,

Mate, I was here way before you and no, I`m not the thirteenth head... I promise. But yes, though I have read your posts, I have personally never communicated with you…until now anyway.

PS, after going through the whole 12 headed palava, I would hope that my English was tad bit better than those chap/s. And yes, I can see why I would be associated as the ‘unlucky’ head.

Tahmed321,

Yes. Give me a few days/weeks…all shall be explained…it was in fact one of your posts (believe it or not) which led to this.

Take care.

Umer Murtaza

What is wrong with being a lesbian? All of us want good things in life. So if women do the same, can we blame them?

shankar bhai #434,

``Youre beginning to worry me, sis.``

u`re a little too late.

``Now, if my mind was in the gutter, I would have accused you of being a..a..le...gee, I`m so scared that I can`t even utter that word..``

that`s the first time you`ve been scared of uttering any word on Chowk. how do you feel? :)

and why does your mind have to be in the gutter to even fathom a woman loving another woman? you`re so narrow minded ;)

(i`m really gonna get it now, aren`t i?)

Sadna: ``diamond prices are controlled by a cartel.``

Exactly. Debeers` monopoly is responsible for the decapitation of thousands in S. africa, Angola, Sierra Leone... All done so that women can wear diamonds (like what the hell is so wrong with silver???) Copper and lead are more rare then diamonds, debeers just controls supply. Not to mention it brainwashes women into thinking ``daimonds are forever.``

See u can lead a horse to water and u can make his azz drink too (u just gotta convince him he`s thirsty...)

Scout: The whole point of the mama joke is to make fun of the dude, not his mama. Unfortunately this timeless form of expression has taken on negative connotations. Yes I do blame the white man for this too.

Shankar: You`re looking for ``Lesbian.`` Thank me later...

Zafar: See that was just not right. Did I say anything about you when u called whatshisface a ``soggy bottomed bat nosed Wallaby with a reticulated bowel.`` That was clearly against the rules. You`ve never heard of an ``eye for an eye?`` He just called you a kangroo. Thats not even a word, man. You`re reply should have contained an intentional misspelling of any one member of the marsupial kingdom. Thats it! But to go on and on about their bottoms, their noses and bowels. Have u no shame? PS: Leave Mr. Shah alone. No one should extract such pleasure outta probing the depths of stupidity.

Mr. Studebaker: See this is pissing me off. I had all these funny lines typed and the chowk editors didn`t put them up. I think its cuz I wrote ``testicle`` but it was said in a medical context. No Im lying, but well never know now will we...

Anyhow, ``Be it not getting sarcasm,jest ,or complex sentence.``

Now work with me my brother, when have u ever written a ``complex sentance???`` Come on now, lets not get carried away...

Unfortunately, unlike mr Poonawalla (see I love this dude`s name, dont he sound like he has a big moustache?) I am not a doctor. No its true, Im not. However, I have learnt a few things from watching Baywatch.

Lets do a brief character assessment, shall we? Great. You have a LOT of time on your hands, hence the aliases. You are not the sharpest blade in the drawer. Now be honest... See when u make several alias, the point is to have them say unrelated sh1t. If you have an alias called studebaker and another called Shah, and BOTH use that assinine (or is that A$$...IN..INE) way of breaking words down... It kinda gives the whole thing away...

This takes me to my second point. Mr Shah is actively recruiting for some sort of ``male brotherhood`` thing he`s got planned. Yes you guessed it! Male brotherhood is a covert name for men having sex with other men! Tell me Im lying?

Now then, a quick review for people keeping track at home.

1. LOT of time on hands.

2. Not sharpest blade...

3. Possibly an anal assassin.

Now join us next week, when we explore the reason why studebaker suddenly BREAKS OUT IN CAPS NEAR THE END OF HIS POSTS... should be an exciting one...

``...as for drumz…drumz is what drumz was… it is and it isn’t…just as the mirror shows the mortal the holy man…the jackazz child is perhaps the inner consciousness?``

My gawd he`s spread it like the plague... Mrs. Versey, are u intentionally trying to sound like said relevant person to annoy me? And whats with all the `relevant person` nonsense anywayz? Its like this BIIIG secret we`re all trying to hide from the evil chowkies. And what if they find out? Ohmigowd, the internet people know...! Whats gonna happen? epileptic seizures, massive heart attacks, suicide rampages...

Okay bare with me as I try to decrypt your post... The destination part, got it. Can I share a little secret with you? The RP may seem like an idealistic poet, but he does work part time as a pathalogical liar (ie. whatever he`s told u about Ali should be taken with a grain of that white salty-like substance).

And yes he did mention meeting you. We were on msn one day and he dropped the names of some people. Stupid me! I thought he was talking about real live actual people who exist and I`ve met in real life, really... Nope, they were all god damn chowk interacters.

Ali ``how`s the trip``

RV: ``Nevermind, Farzana is my friend ive met her, go after trillium.``

Ali: ``What inna hell are u talking about???``

RV: ``from chowk.``

Ali: ``Of course!``

You see what Im dealing with? Mr. 12 head pales in comparison.... And did u like the haircut (help me out, you`re a journalist, the word ``cut`` implies he cuts it, correct?)

Now come on, was that not the funniest thing in the world??? He`s sporting that like he`s Rupunzel and still has the audacity to get on me about the nosering! (((This is kinda like therapy))) I wont even mention what happened last Eid. Cuz a brutha wears a red turban...does that make him a ( *whispers *) Hegira?

PS: How am I doing with ``rash conclusions`` about people I don`t know. Have I improved? Gotten worse? Wussup?
