#140 I thought you two were bosom buddies sort of joined at the hips, heart and brains.

Urstruly doesnot have the guts. She is scared of you hamidm!

close encounter,

..... i hate to interrupt this love fest, but i would like to draw attention to ursrtuly`s posting of an idiotic urdu article and my reply #77 - they are relevant to the original subject of temporal`s article (not that anyone seems to care) ........... i am waiting for urstruly`s reply (unless he plans on delivering it in person at 1:30............ anyone else care to comment ?

...... by the way, how many of you think urstruly will show up for our date ? ....... it is very possible that we might become bosom buddies after we have had a chance to know each other ......... even though i think the chances are remote, anything is possible if i have more than two martinis ..........

.............stay tuned

what you need, as hamidm suggested elsewhere, is a decent drink.

In the back waters of turkey, they do make some very good hooch. Dont go for the usual plonk you get in the bazaars. Enquire and ask locals, and you can get some really cool stuff.

as they say lifes a beeaytch (or somesuch thing- a formulation preferred by that honest and decent lady from cuny)

warpster #129, {``Salim (with all his nicks) undoubtedly has a sharp wit.. Makes no sense to censor him provided he cleans up his act (sticks to one nick for starters) and doesnt cross certain boundaries. Isnt it obvious that Salim is looking for attention and recognition? ``}

Meray TeRhay Bahi,
Nothing to do with sharp wit, my friend. It is simply indignation (and extreme jealousy :) )at seeing this type of inferior material published on FP, especially when my input was cruelly ignored. I enrolled in weekly writing classes, spent my evenings attending poetry readings (UGH!!), and started writing ``Dear Mr. Editor`` letters to periodicals wo which I had never even subscribed.
I am NOT looking for attention and recognition. I do demand laughter, that`s all. And yes, I expect to be entertained, not bored as in this piece.
The multiple nics are a result of Chowk`s unfair and one-sided blacklisting/banning/censoring policy. I have been forced to resort to multiple nics to evade/confuse/bypass the full time Chaprasi employed by Chowk to filter/delete/erase/edit my messages.
Thanks,
Salim

Godot, my friend, I am just a court jester. I live for laughs. Chowk makes me laugh several times a day. In return, I try to make others laugh. If you laughed, you made my day. Thanks,
But, as a court jester, it is fun sometimes to see His Imperial Majesty without his clothers. :)

Thanks for your encouragement AND your support. :)

tempura,

Dehk-I am a MARRIED MAN...if Fatso Bibi thinks even a look my way comes from a woman`s eyeball, she will roll over me till I become thinner than a chappati. Please refrain from suggestion of masti masti.

Bina,

Please dont NOT try to contact me via unplugged.

oye warpster sahib,

I toe-tal-ly agree with you. This good taste and good manners is gora chaatri! Where is the dushdush! and daradam! No gori nangi pathungi running around, no good desi wife or ma on the veg of tears? Why is all action suggested, hain? Why doesnt Jamil have better sense of his oppression as Brown Muslim Man, hain? This is not very good at all, we desis need to speak with one voice, hain? This should have many many many more words! Grand gestures, yaar! Where is Amitabh Bachan hain? Is some puny goat boy going to carry this plot? Abey, who will play him, some unknown crybaby abcd?

#116, Kaura {``Interactors have declared that Temporal has committed literary suicide. Then, what is purpose to keep shooting him?.....``}

Kaura,
Reminds of a similar question about why the moutain climber insisted on climbing this mountain. :)
``Because it`s there!``

{``#112 by Saminasha on August 30, 2005 7:32am PT

The following concept should not be hard to understand:

Personal information on any interactor, be it their full names, photos, workplace addresses, personal addresses SHOULD NOT be posted without the EXPRESSED PERMISSION of the interactor on this website. ``}

Again, it comes down to ``Do as I say and not as I do.`` Someone, in a naive attack of Good Samaritan syndrome taught Ms. Saminasha how to post pictures. Ever since that fateful day, we have seen a substantial decrease in her cut & paste pollution, only to be replace by a barrage of pictures. Many of these pictures are of real people - fat, apparently gay, old, not so pretty, and so on. Ms Saminasha attributed these pictures to Chowkies she considered her opponents. I wonder if Ms. Saminasha obtained the EXPRESSED PERMISSION in writing from the people whose pictures she obtained off the PUBLIC INTERNET or of the Chowkies she tried to defame falsely?

trmntr_x #124:

this gem is misplaced here

(still chuckling)

ps: did you approach the new-age woman (binoo) so publicly seeking you out?

#129 Posted by warpster on August 30, 2005 8:22:26 am

I only lurk here mostly.. and so am not fully informed about the local politics.. I fail to see why so much energy is being expended on insults here.. Quite possibly the insulters and insultees take great pleasure in the exchanges

Salim (with all his nicks) undoubtedly has a sharp wit.. Makes no sense to censor him provided he cleans up his act (sticks to one nick for starters) and doesnt cross certain boundaries. Isnt it obvious that Salim is looking for attention and recognition?

regarding this piece.. its not horrible.. it is simply mediocre. The J^3 reminded me of A^3 (a hindi movie from the 70s).. Too much of this is in the third person.. the few first person conversations are unconvincing and sound phony. Maybe t has a big reputation here and has stepped on toes.

speaking of which.. Nikkas pakistan was a very fine tale... and it hardly got any discussion.

Re: # 119

Salim

That is the best post on this board. You do have a writer`s talent, know how to express yourself well and can make others laugh.

You’re right. I’ve been feeling sorry for that poor pup myself. He’s scarred for life. Watch his soul twist and turn in pain. Romair said it best: Qissa-e-gham kissay sunaon / Itnay ansoo kahan say laoon

Pity him and move on. He’s unlikely to recover from this.

Samin Asha is writing her own name here. She is posting with that name. What is confidential here? Is she idiot?
