Is it that my hair is curly? But I'm not Jewish, I swear :confused:

Feminist organizations are led by the anti-Christ. Now I've heard everything.

LOL. Now I'm nervous. I won't be home until after most kids' curfew. All this talk of egging is making me wonder what I'll arrive home to.

I went out for a walk around the campus. Halloween costumes count: -2 x The Joker from Batman* -A very elegant female Grim Reaper, complete with scythe -A bumblebee and a butterfly -A rooster -Some fat lady in a giant pink mumu, a pink headdress, and a pink-and-black afghan over her shoulder :confused: *There's a rumor flying around that one of the Jokers ran into a Psych 101 class, started telling crazy stories on stage and was then chased out by Batman! I wonder if the videos are on YouTube yet...

Val, if it happens every now and then that's one thing, but if you're regularly struggling to sleep, you need to take drastic action. Get rid of whatever is stressing you out. If it's work, get an assistant or arrange other accommodations to make it easier. I know they can't do without you and will bow to your demands

Hello trollers. They don't have to leave empty-handed Val. You can scrounge up something, maybe breath mints or antacid tablets, throw in the occasional bit of uunsi too. Anything to avoid having your home toilet-papered or egged. Ngonge, I only woke up a couple of hours too. Still waiting for the coffee to kick in. I had almost given it up over the last few months, but work is crazy again

^I like that I'm never quite sure what they are saying Hello ladies. Serenity, don't worry. The Real Troll Corner will always come first in a troller's heart.

"Cheney Tapped To Lead New Dept. of Ongoing Illegal Activities" I've seen it before but still cracks me up.

^Hi Val. SS, let's get back to the sex therapist angle LOL. Would you treat a Somali couple in your private practice? Say they come to see you because the Faarax has imbibed a few too many of A&T's stories, and REALLY believes there's something wrong with him because he doesn't have the stamina of a deranged tomcat. He tells you he drinks nothing but caano geel, and eats nothing but xabad sawdo everyday. He's starting to consider Chinese traditional medicine, and thinks he's spotted just the tiger to donate its fecundative organ at the local zoo. Let's say the Xaaliimo is equally gullible, and has started to believe there must be something wrong with HER, since she doesn't inspire the kind of performance that gets written up as a case study in medical journals. Maybe she's staring open-mouthed at your posters on the wall, especially the (ahem) professional ones. She thinks maybe one of them is of the ear canal, but what a strange rotation. Every other word you say, she jumps up, says "hoogayeey maxay tidhi" and pretends to make a dash for the door. The Faarax on the other hand, is really starting to like where you're coming from, especially when you urge Xaalimo to be a more active participant in the bedroom. He asks you if you're married, and on finding out the answer, indiscreetly informs you that he has recently began accepting applications for the Wife #2 position. Xaliimo is beginning to get angry, and looking around for something to clobber you both with. There's a clay model of two tastefully intertwined lovers sitting on a table beside her. She's starting to reach for it... Anyway, good luck with following your dreams

Sickening. Leave it to Somalis to do quickly and efficiently an act so horrendous that others struggle with it for years before quietly changing their minds.

^LOL. Actually that video is really disturbing to me. Talk about a cult of personality. Hmmm. Does anybody remember whether there were Siad Barre songs sung in school back in the day?

GJ, proud tree-hugger here Really, "global warming" is a misnomer. It's more accurate to call it climate change. The average global temperature is projected to go up, but some places WILL get colder. This is because wind patterns and ocean currents will be perturbed, leading to local fluctuations in precipitation. What's more, nobody is predicting that Siberia will be 45 deg Celsius in a few decades. Most climatologists are talking in the range of an increase of ~5 deg over a century! And the fact that it's happening is undisputed, the only question is whether human agency is involved. BTW, the "baraf" AKA the polar icecaps and ice sheets have been melting away for years. Sure, they won't all disappear for a while, but their reduction translates into higher sea levels. The biggest problem, in my view, is that the world's poor will bear the brunt of even minor changes in climate. It's not New York or London that lives on sustenance farming that can be wiped out by unending droughts, or disruptive floods. Yet it is major urban centers that probably contribute the most to the phenomena. Go figure. You're right to be unconvinced. The evidence is not as cut and dried as some people will argue. I think the intelligent thing to do is to read up on as you did, but I hope you understand that there are powerful groups who want everyone to dismiss the topic out of hand. Aren't you properly skeptical of the capitalist agenda?

Hello ladies. Ibti is suspected of stealing men's hearts precisely because of how dismissive she is of them. You know how contrary some guys are. Throw yourself at them and they won't give you the time of day. Point at them while laughing uncontrollably (as Ibti has been wont to do) and they become absolutely smitten. They actually think how little she thinks of them gives them a kind of distinction. Typical exchange between two guys: "The other day she rolled her eyes at me! She never does that for another guy..." "Oh yeah, well Saturday night as I was waiting for her to get home safe and sound before coming out from behind the bushes, she screamed and called the cops." "Wow, really?" "But that's not all, before the cops even arrived she beat me up herself! I still have the bruises, see?" "Man, I'm SO jealous." Etc, etc. Why do you think she makes women so nervous?

^Waste of bandwidth is the accepted substitution. JB, I think today of all days that's a petty view.

I tried it a while ago, on the Extra-Easy "I Have An Inner Ear Infection So My Coordination is Shot" stage. It's lots of fun, but I couldn't possibly offer any advice unless it is on how to ice a sprained ankle after an embarrassing faceplant. Have you tried Wii Fit? I've tried that too and it's awesome. That will be my Bday gift to myself.

LOL. Sheh, if you do meet up with him, just remember to distinguish what he tells you from what you found out thru googling. "So how is your Adeer Jaamac doing since the surgery?" "Who told you about Adeer Jaamac?" "Er, you must've mentioned it" in your blog

^Dabshid and Red Sea had the same math teacher

But I'm sure there's a girl out there who will not think you're a complete sissy for sweetening your coffee, Che

And there was that recent story of the husband who hacked his estranged wife to death over her Facebook status. This should serve as a warning to all people: marriage (whether actual or virtual) and the cyberworld don't mix. LOL @ Cirdey. "Some red-neck racists think all Muslims are terrorists" would be a call to war if quoted out of context, mate. Not sure what the point was.

Happy birthday Serenity!

I find the swinging arms creepier. Dolls are way too complex nowadays. This can't be good for a young child's imagination. /Fondly remembers hours playing with a rusty pipe and gum scrapped off a sidewalk.

Tip for the guys: if you ARE getting coffee, drink it black and with no sugar. Very manly

Congratulations again Ibti. I'm very proud of you. Yours truly, Eedo Cara (hoping for a villa in Burco too)

If you have one tune stuck in your head, listen to another equally catchy one to get rid of it.

Sayid, a funny Somali saying at women's expense. How...unusual. But I'm curious, what does it mean? Nuune, that one never gets old for you miyaa? Sidii adi inaad aliftayaa ula war-wareegee
