Why Ngonge, hasn't the teacher responded to your request for suggestions? Xaaji, will do thanks! But any ideas for more colorful phrases? Something involving anatomical impossibilities and unorthodox unions?

Morning trollers! LOOOL@ Ngonge. Come on fess up, was that all you, or did the missus help a bit? Impressive either way. I'm gonna try swearing in Somali when I'm angry too, although I don't actually know any good swear words :confused:

^Never mind, Sherban. Basic courtesy is not so basic for certain individuals. *Note to self: no more off-color jokes, there are youngsters around*

I sat beside a Hindu colleague who is fasting while I was eating lunch. I never noticed how loud eating food is. Chew chew chew, slurp slurp, crunch crunch, gulp gulp, I'm never eating again!

This tuulo talk qandho aan ka qaadin Hello People of the Troll Corner! T minus 30 minutes to lunch (free of course)!

Weird day when I agree more with General Duke than I do with Sheh and Juxa :eek: She's a hero to me, if we define a hero as someone who would rather report on a warzone as opposed to giving a detailed expose' on Britney Spears drug abuse, or the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new branch of the city library system. And what's the big deal about the necklace? We give dahab to women to celebrate their joys and milestones, like weddings and children and whatnot. It's a quintessentially Somali women gift! They should have given her a dirac and garbasaar set too, instead of that cringe-inducing "portrait"

According to article 40 of Egypt's constitution: "All citizens are equal before the law. They have equal public rights and duties without discrimination between them due to race, ethnic origin, language, religion or creed ." But it doesn't actually include gender

So 1 Western soldier is killed for every 10 Taliban soldiers. Militarily, that seems like the graveyard of insurgents :confused:

So strange. 11 people sent to suffocate 1 man with a pillowcase? Seems more likely that there were only 2 or 3 sent, and the rest were at the hotel for some other clandestine reason. I'm pretty confident about this, I've watched all seasons of Alias and not once did the spy chick need more than 1 other person to help out I bet any random tourist hotel in the world will have several people there with fake IDs. Spies, arms, dealers, politicians meeting their very special constituents...

Classic case of "Who will watch the watchmen?". I bet the policemen who arrested him, the judge who charged him, and the one's who'll punish him are guilty of a myriad of sins themselves.

Waad waalantihiin. Give up sugar? NEVER!! Just the thought makes me feel panicky, I'm going to go qariid sonkor now to feel better. Morning/Afternoon trollers!

^ Let me guess, you'd love to hit a hole in one someday?

LOL. Why don't they let their francs do the talking and simply go to another fast food joint? I wonder if meat eaters go up in arms at vegetarian restaurants for denying them their rights to a steak :confused:

Adam, obviously you don't know Ibti as much as you would like to think (was it love at first cyber-sight?). She's going to lecture you on the diamond industry and how De Beers et al. exacerbate conflicts by funding armed violent reactionaries and totalitarian regimes. BLOOOOD DIAMONDS! Juxa knows this, ask her why she's sabotaging your suit. Serenity, damn right you should apologize :mad: :mad:

^That's not coffee, that's a milkshake I enjoy the occasional syrupy latte from Starbucks but fortunately I don't consider it "coffee". Welcome to the troll corner Wigad.

Che, Seat 4A? Oh god oh god @ Naden. I was just gulping some java when I read that :mad: I don't like you very much right now, but I'm glad you are feeling better. Howdy Juxa!

It sounds like a tragic accident. Why the assumption of foul play?

The only way I'm someone's miracle is if they decide not to get an unflattering hairstyle after seeing it on me Morning trollers. How's everyone doing on this fine hump day?

My disdain of Ethiopians is the only prejudice I have allowed myself and you guys have ruined it :mad: Now who am I supposed to blame all my misfortunes on? "Bloody Tibetans!" just doesn't have the same ring :mad: :mad: A&T, I quite like the song, and in fact the whole site is delightful. It's an acceptable valentine's day gift

^We can only think in superlatives. Barre was the best leader we could ever have. No he was evil incarnate. The depredations of his regime don't necessarily need to be covered up when the past is always a golden age. I do remember my older siblings had to participate in a literacy program to graduate high school (they spent a couple of months teaching reer baadiye). But how does that stack up against tyrannical rule?

Maybe if they saw the options outside of Hargeisa they would have given men a second chance I would kill for some canjeelo now, it's been too long. And oodkac and proper shaah

CL, sorry dear. I have deadlines to meet and people to beat, I can't risk feeling sympathy for you or I might catch the bug too. Hello Juxa. It's easy for Val to say that, guys are always giving her boxes of chocolates and a dozen roses, and singing outside her window.

CL, I'm very happy for you! You know what they say, the bigger the cynic the harder they fall Hello trollers!

Hmmm, I have been meaning to re-gift an Amazon gift card but this book sounds intriguing. Just so you all know, I will be very disappointed if it turns out your reviews were colored by, ahem, birthplace considerations

The other day an Ethiopian friend said "Somali Ethiopian girls are so tall and pretty." The what's wrong with you was implied of course But I thought it was odd, to her Somalis in Ethiopian are just another tribe, though with some legitimate grievances and malcontents. Anigana halkaan I was thinking it's big of me to befriend the enemy
