Hit & Run The kaffiyeh is the scullcap - the sand-whigger is wearing a GHOUTRA, bound by the IQAAL 'ropes'. Get your camel-jockey-terms right before you post your stories, shitwits. :) Tom <tom@thorby.com> Not quite correct, there, Tom. As a speaker of pidgin Arabic, backed up by a speaker of native Arabic, I can attest that: a) whatever else a kaffiyeh is, it is definitely not a skullcap; b) "kaffiyeh" is the acceptable term to use, at least in the Levantine dialect, for both the checkered spaghetti-joint-tablecloth head covering favored by elderly Palestinians and the white thingee Agent Wilber is wearing in his portrait; c) they don't speak Arabic in Iran anyway. They speak some other language. Put that in your argili and smoke it! Ibn Hmara  sand wigger? is this like a white person mixed with those niggers that live in the sand. are you people crazy writing something like wigger? Protector of Mankind <pofm@hotmail.com> Thanks for piecing that one together, POFM. Exactly what are you protecting mankind from, anyway? Dune Loon Subject: six angels and no life Sucksters, While I'm certainly not above playing a bit fast and loose with the facts, certain things require due reverence. There were in fact six (not five) angels in the original TV series...the canonical 4, Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith (with my preferred "y" spelling), Farrah Fawcett-Majors (I wouldn't let her forget the bionic one), and Cheryl Ladd, as well as the two late pretenders Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts (of Marc Singer, the Beastmaster, fame). Really is one of the best party trivia questions, that and the 20 Batman villains list. One of the joys of writing a dissertation is all the tv that is on in the background... And to make myself feel normal, I peep this. And here's the footnote. Cheers, John Hund <jhund@mail.utexas.edu> Thanks for that comprehensive list, Mr. Hund. Discussing any prime time programming from the seventies seems to bring you people out of the woodwork. But you forgot to mention that Bosley was sexier than any of them. Waiting with baited breath for that "'70s" mini-series, Seamus Guccione I consider myself an ultra conservative White activist. I naturally find a lot of negative information about jews. Your site is a breath of freshness. Knowing that jews are an intelligent competent people, I am encouraged that not all jews wish western civilization to be destroyed. I have little respect for my political prostitute gentile leaders, so I feel very alone much of the time. It is very easy to visualize the end of America. The nation is sinking into a flood of mud. Thank you for the alternative view. I will not bindly follow anyone. Earl Brumbaugh <earl@zeus.ia.net> Testify, Earl! Don't fire until you see the whites! Shlomo Weinstein, Esq. Bubblewear? That is great. I have all my life been looking for a disposable business suit for $119.00. And scented web pages - just exactly what I need in my life. The Internet has got be stopped - Long Live Mafia boy Sharkbait <cameron@slip.net> Hey, Mr. Shark, if you don't like it, go to Canada. Or I guess that won't work either. Just get dotcom happy! Dudley Dooright Re: the bubble economy & its non-malcontents The way to frame the opinions of snivellers like Tim Draper is by resurrecting this quotation from the venerable Professor John Kenneth Galbraith, who, in his seminal 1954 tome, "The Great Crash, 1929", expressed (in an eerily suck-prescient style) that "Wall Street...is like a lovely and accomplished woman who must wear black cotton stockings, heavy woolen underwear, and parade her knowledge as a cook because, unhappily, her supreme accomplishment is as a harlot." Draper's just another yowler in the cathouse. Professor Galbraith is at least 90 and he still sounds like this. He should be your next interviewee. Best regards from a fellow traveler, Jeremy David Stolen Intellectual Provocateur www.tigerthekitten.com (remember me?) <cycle-boy@mailcity.com> I'd like to see this Professor Galbraith of yours slip his 90-year-old ass into black cotton stockings and heavy woolen underwear and try to land a man. It's not easy, you know! There are a lot of real creeps out there! Cash Barrelhead Filler Ms. Fashion Victim: "Talks about shopping like it's a challenge akin to climbing Mount Everest, featuring desperate, terrifying setbacks and exhilarating victories. " Okay, that's me. Ms. Drama Queen: "..may seem like unpredictable mood swings but which are actually totally understandable reactions to a tumultuous and often quite hostile world" Yiiii (that's recognition mingled with amused disgust) That is sooo me. But forget about just Women To Avoid. What's amazing is that I can relate to your characters *so* much even though I'm from a totally different culture half way around the world. You never cease to entertain. Thanks for hitting all the issues right on the head and with such wit, I laugh out loud. Which is quite a feat, believe me, plus, I read Suck at work. Actually, I only like Filler, the rest is too winded and slightly preachy. I looked around my "circle of friends" and I can come up with about 5 more Women To Avoid, & in my case they'll be Arab Women to Avoid, although the reasons to avoid them aren't because of their "Arabness"; I am not a sell-out. I don't want to bore you so I won't describe 'em here, but email back anytime if you need ideas from my neck of the woods. A reader in Saudi Arabia Hiba Dialdin <dialdiha@aramco.com.sa&> Wow, thanks for writing! But are you telling me Saudi Arabian women are as delightful as American women? Yiiii! Winded, Polly Subject: Okay, so you're cynical but I love ya anyway! I gotta ask: on the day before my birthday, that is March 29, your column had a "next page" button beside the heading "Bad head makes the morning fabulous". Soon as I saw it, I thought of Janie Runaway on the new Steely Dan album. Is this a correct connection? If so, you have great taste in music as well as in other things... Chuck Dupree Palo Alto, CA Shouldn't you have signed that "How about a kiss for your Cousin Dupree"? Which fine Colombian do you think Mr. Dan was talking about? Pablo Escobar wasn't fine, that's for sure. Polly You guys have probably been flooded with this tip already since you ran tha asian mahir thing, ya? no? anyway: The only worthwhile so-called homepage I have run across. Rumor in NYC is that it's a frustrated tonight show writer's little hoax. Old dude. Amatuer magician and philosopher of sorts. Hilarious. Think warner brothers buying it is a joke/hoax. Christ, at least I hope so. excerpt: "Yesterday'S SAying:"WHenever I get tired and lonely AND life seems TOO HARD, I look AT tHE BEAUTY OF a simple flower. AND THEn I pull the flower out of the Ground and realize that I AM more powerful than the FLOWER, and to itt I seem like I'm fifty million damn feet tall! Now I DOn;t feel so tired! Now I feel like a damn GODZILLA!" Dan When I want to feel powerful, I play ant hospital. Injure some ants, put them in separate rooms of a little ant hospital, create ant emergencies. Nah, that's gross. But I did that when I was little. Only severely mentally damaged children would dream up a game like that. As for the website, who knows? If acting like an evil imbecile online gives you a thrill, well...then we have a lot in common. Polly |
