The squeaky cog gets the oil miyaa.

Yes, Johnny, now take this fine porcelain toilet bowl cleaner ($10.99) I think Ibti made it clear why it's unacceptable in your case: the girl apparently can't take half your possessions when she finally runs away with the gardener. Tut tut. Enjoy your commercialized pagan tradition of choice. Ibti, I'm going to pretend I didn't read that, it's too tragic for words. Ngonge, that's a good tactic, will pass it on Hodman, because only a sujui would have a picture of someone eating marine cockroaches as her avatar

Ola CL! Ibti, who's this poor demented girl who's cleaning and cooking for some man? Should I send in the commando extraction team? Awaiting your orders! Johnny, not only do I leave the price sticker on, I actually also put a 1 in front of the number But I'm denying all other charges. Ngonge, our resident offspring expert, what's the longest a child has been angry with you for not giving them what they want?

LOL @ Johnny. My technique is to just glue a ribbon or bow on the gift item in question. No messing around with yards of paper, it's bad for the environment anyway How are all the trollers today?

Oh you two, stop it. I'm not nearly as pretty and suave as Big Ethel Johnny, I was thinking about pistachios not walnuts LOL@ No kiss kiss. Give him some crayons to distract him Malika.

CL, did you share my crush on Jughead and his pizza-loving ways? LOL@topic, the right time is when it's no longer "the kiss", just "a kiss". Johnny, it's "nuts everywhere" you dunderhead. The only thing worse than a pun is ruining it

Ooh, I almost met a billionaire then. I attended a talk by Mo Ibrahim about his foundation. It was really inspirational and thought-provoking, but the guy is a bit conceited. During the seminar he ran this video of world leaders praising him and his foundation. No matter how worthy, qof is faaninaya uma adkeeysan karo. After the talk some unwashed white hippy asked him about the cancer and cell phone link, and a few African guys basically asked him for money but tried to frame it as a question. Typical on both counts

The YouTube comments are the most coherent I've ever seen.

^ I can relate. ? Ever listened to Blues music, Ngonge? It's all "my woman ran out of me oh I could die and my dog has been run over by a truck take me away o lord". But I have to admit music-wise it's better than Celine Dion.

Today is a perfect storm of holiday parties. Starting in 25 minutes, I'm going to gorge myself on endless food at 5 different places... it's funny, even though I'm spending more money getting cards and gifts, I still feel like I'm getting "free" food. How's everyone? Has London sunk into wild anarchy after a rogue snowflake made the Queen sneeze?

^Admit it FB, you have a sudden yearning for canned spinach

I wonder what Londoners consider "heavy snow". I bet it amounts to a teaspoon a day /Had to shovel myself out this morning and will need to shovel myself back in tonight. Johnny, I do speak Swedish. No realli! I learned it from this documentary

Come on guys, don't make fun of your elders. I've got nothing against cartoons, on the contrary I'm a big fan of the medium. I'm just saying The Last Airbender is too recent for nostalgia trips and not good enough for adult viewing. There's basically three kinds of kids' cartoons you can like as a grown up (mind you I'm not talking about cartoons aimed at adults, like Family Guy): 1. Cartoons from your childhood, no matter how cheesy. They are a comforting reminder of innocence. For me that's Tom and Jerry and Popeye the Sailor Man, Scoopy Doo is borderline 2. Cartoons that are actually pretty good. They can appeal to adults because of the artwork, the serious themes, or tongue-in-cheek references that the kids don't get. Samurai Jack, Ed, Edd & Eddy, maybe The Powerpuff Girls, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, etc. 3. Cartoons that define a way of life for you. Ask our resident Johnny Bravo for an example

Juxa, so the take home message is don't be hard-working if you don't want to end up in a wheelchair?? You know that's what we get out of it Maybe Che, personally I'm getting rid of mine on January 1st if they don't change the privacy settings back :mad: Sheh, opportune time to whip out that saying "so joog something something so jiifso" eh?

LOL @ Che. I think most of those are hacked or something. "Ayaanle", sounds like someone who is born with severe handicap but somehow survived it. I concur. Hello trollers, welcome back to the fold Sheh. We forgive your absence but see that it never happens again hmmmm?

I'm going to wait for it to hit the discount movie theatre, I saw the trailer and didn't think it was all that story-wise. Che, what was the other movie? "The Frog Princess"? LOL @ the Last Airbender. Lily ileen ilmaa tahay.

Thanks for breaking it down C&H. I guess I eat a smaller volume of food but with higher calorie content. Like your cake example...

Wait, is this the beefing up BEFORE the diet starts? That seems like an awful lot of food to me!

Are you afraid I would thank you next?

LOL @ The_Point, I did thank them! They cut the mike because the time ran out I also took veiled potshots at those who thought Somalia couldn't sink so low, those who hide behind neutral irony, the exes who moved on to bigger and better things...

Do we get a plaque? Is there an awards ceremony? Can I take a stab at the acceptance speech? Somalia stands on the podium, crying, clutching the Worst Country in the World statue (an iron figurine of a man pissing on a globe): "Oh thank you thank you thank you! Thank you so much for this award. But as you all know, no country can win the Worsties without tremendous help and support from others, and Somalia is no exception. So first I would like to thank the people of Somalia, who best exemplify the philosophy that if life gives you lemons, you tear off your arm and beat your children to death with it, then take the lemon juice and rub it on your wound. I would like to thank my neighbors, especially Ethiopia, without whom the last three years would not have been possible. We don't like to relive the terrible memory, but peace almost broke out in 2006 and would have ruined our chances of winning this fine award. Thankfully our politicians realized that inviting our sworn enemies in at such a critical point will make the next 20 years very promising in the war on peace and stability! God bless the Transitional Federal Goverment! Of course we wouldn't have gotten very far if our fine young men did not burn with the desire to liberate our nation from the twin horrors of prosperity and peace, just yesterday one of them showed his patriotism by blowing up a small shop in Mogadishu. Little Shamso has now been liberated from the horror of having to attend 2nd grade! She was really dreading long division you know. And the family of Ahmed is liberated from their father's struggle to provide for them, imagine the horror. All the other kids made fun of them because their father was still alive and working dawn to dusk to get food on the table. Thankfully that ordeal is over! I would like to thank the United States, your people might not be able to find us on a map, but your drones have no such trouble, god bless their indiscriminate metal hearts. Don't worry, no US soldier was hurt in the making of this catastrophe! I'm not gonna say any more because I can hear the fine whir of a homing rocket locking into a nearby target. Shhhh! The international community helped round out our candidacy, because war and poverty would not have been enough without environmental degradation. Try our sushi!"

Something in... Hargeysa? Hodman you can do it! Look, Juxa is right there. Make fun of her, she still thinks Pluto is a planet.

^He'll just point out that "soo qabta" implies force and unwillingness on the part of midda yar

Ah, we're in the roaring 20's now. WW1 passed with little fanfare. And it looks like we have the complete Troll Package. Keep it entertaining folks, I can't contribute to bashing today's troll target but I will be reading with great interest. Won't you be proud if it turns out I missed my deadline because I was laughing at your wit?

^We're the country cousin? Miss Algeria and Miss Tunisia look a lot alike.
