Is that a threat?

Sir Marc, meet rudy.

Exams and whatnot, Sir. How are the plebes treating you?

You mean you've never been in a duel!? Whatever else do you do in London? Next you'll be saying you don't ride around in horse-drawn carriages!

^Kettle, pot.

Ibti, as a drunken serial womanizer who is currently free of work-related encumbrances, I take exception to your words. Meet me at dawn at Hyde Park with your best pistol. And bring a second pistol, I sold mine at a pawnshop to pay for my party duds.

^Rife.

It's all about the context. The 60 year old bus driver who says "how you doing sweetie?" to all girls, and "how you doing son?" to all the guys: that's OK. But the way Obama used it comes across as dismissive, especially since like the reporter said, he didn't answer her question. Still, reminded me of this.

*Fights urge to proofread post* So, Serenity, you get a lot of FB messages from Somali guys huh?

This is going to turn into a musical isn't it? All the signs are there.

Edwards a month ago on the Colbert Report. Someone must've given him that jet ski.

AU troops or Ethiopian troops? And anyway that's like burning someone's house down and then giving them a blanket out of sympathy...

That was unexpected. It's great though. Nothing says working class white America like John Edwards.

Hayam, the thing is I'm a terrible procrastinator too, but I've never handed a paper in late or deferred an exam. Instead, some finely tuned clock in my head springs into action just before the point of no return. So if there's a deadline in two weeks, I'll procrastinate, and then get annoyed with myself, and then procrastinate some more. But at the back of my mind I know exactly how much time the work is going to take so that I start at that point and not a moment earlier. Does that make sense? Argh...

Maybe she's his little cousin Ibti. I bet his habaryhar tells the chick to go over and rescue him every now and then. Isn't that right poolwizard?

Che, Tell Ibti (alright, and me) what that means. It can't be any worse than what Ducaysane is implying...

Exactly Nephthys. It was all about trying to keep the fingernails clean. Definitely had nothing with the fact that dugsi was usually BEFORE breakfast and khad was practically a five course meal what with the sugar and milk and charcoal (for fiber).

Did anyone use to eat the qad? Just a little taste? No? Me neither

^I'm terrified of bipolar people, I'm not sure I would've done anything to draw her attention. I couldn't even watch the video for more than 30 sec.

LOL @ Jimcaale. Have you been living in a cave? Hiring wet-nurses to breast feed your baby used to be common before. It was practically unthinkable for women of higher status to actually nurse their own children. Is hiring a womb really that much of a stretch when people used hire breasts? Did the young children question who their real mothers were, or was it a common cultural practice so they never thought of the fact that they have a real mom, and they have a wet-nurse? I would imagine they actually bonded far more with the wet-nurse than the child of a surrogate mother would bond with her. Every thing old is new again.

LOL @ Geeljire. Actually oil doesn't make a sizzling sound unless there's something in it. It just smokes a bit. My worst cooking experience was when I took a glass cake pan out of the oven and put it on the stove-top, not realizing one of the burners was on. When I thought it had cooled down I picked it up, or at least tried to. The pan exploded, glass went everywhere (months later I would find bits of it stuck in the wall 10 feet away or under the fridge). Luckily hardly any got on me but it was really freaky having something just explode as soon as you touch it. Not to mention having to throw away a delicious cake was a real bummer.

Procrastinating with great success. You had all my favorite food groups. Now I'm gonna go looking for stray cookies behind the microwave.

^Let's see. How about...baasto?
