veeresh#25: ``Which is sad, and which is what makes me toughy.``

A slip or simply a freudian slip here veeresh. ``toughy`` and ``touchy`` are pretty iterchangeable here but convey different meanings, yet they also convey your feelings (in this instance) without any loss! Wonderful. Simply wonderful.

Agree :Think Omar Sir, seems to have missed the point with his article and the subsequent responses indicate this. I guess this gush peice has a place in a style magazine (think it appeared there first) where most of the work is done by PRs for you (you just addd your by-line with a few edits). You could have done better for. I guess its the sign of the times!

Dhamka Paracha! That`s what you should be called, dude. This was that typically hilarious and bizzare NFP piece. Loved it all.

Nice, nice, nice. Was wondering where you had escaped. You never cease to amaze, Nadeem. This was a real LOL. Agree with Zulu, though. More wanted.

Nadeem Paracha:

This was cryptically amusing. Just wondering: Is Makhdoom Amin Fahim, the one who will shave Zardari`s head, related to John Bobbitt?

And are you sure Nosydamanus is just having a bad LSD trip in 8?
“Aright, fly duh Beelzebub hub net waft achtung!”

Isn`t it possible that Nosy foresees a new religious cult where men look down, and upon finding nothing -- ``The fly, duh??`` -- declare to the gathered crowds, ``Stride forth and cyber...tis the only truth``?

Best,
Farzana

NFP - good job ! Here is one from me:

The unhappy abandoned one will die of grief,
His conqueress will celebrate the hecatomb:
Pristine law, free edict drawn up,
The wall and the Prince falls on the seventh day.

Translation: Field Marshal Musharraf will be impaled on a pakistani long range missile named Cowboy II in South Waziristan in the year 2007.

nadeem,

wouldn`t this have been even madder had you not gifted us with the translations?!
this was hilarious. and good for this site where we aren`t to take each other so seriously!!!

and how much different than the words of the prophets being written on the subway walls, and tenement halls : )

particularly liked, nos. 5, 8 &10. the `rise` of osama at the sight of hijabless women. LOL

looks like it made it afterall : ) (did it?)
