  1. Cue Faarax Brown or Johnny B: "Yeah baby, I felt it too." But I understand there was a tremor in London. The island is probably sinking under the sea. Get out while you can.

    Today I....

    Today is so sunny and beautiful, I think February stole it from May. I feel like a salamander.

    DEXTER

    Hayam, instead of graduating, I went on a nostalgic tour. The Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Foster's Home for Imaginary Monsters. Ed, Edd, and Eddy (Come on, you can't resist that one). Recess. Real classics
  4. Stop prepositioning donkeys, SB. Not sure what the story is here. People attack each other all the time, and it's usually over trivial matters.

    DEXTER

    Also someone who thought this was about Dexter's Lab Maybe you should change the title to "NOT Dexter's Lab", Hayam
  6. Originally posted by Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar: I reached up to 20 seconds after a few tries. There is a pattern, one has to master if one wants to play. One can get up to 35 seconds eluding the wall and kuwa ku daba socdo if you follow the pattern and if your mouse is good, reacts fast. You don't say.
  7. I was going to take a picture of tonight's lunar eclipse but turns out I left the camera at work. And there's not going to be another total eclipse for almost two years
  8. Hiya Val. True @ FB. And keep in mind that was in US dollars which back then was worth $1.7 CDN at least. BUT (before Underdog gets riled up), I got a free lunch at this seminar and the speaker was delish. Gonna see if I can stalk him down in the halls of academia. Wish me luck!
  9. ^Oddly enough, some think one's heart, mind, wishes and dreams are more prized possessions than a leftover fetal membrane with no known function.
  10. Underdog, you are one crooked referee. Cadaan and Stargazer lacag baay ku shubaan your Swiss bank account soo ma aha? *Grumbles off to the bench*.
  11. Ibti, I think we probably all agree, even with me.
  12. Lily, the whole point of staying awake is to eat chocolate, so go ahead or take a nap. EDIT: Ngonge, you might have overshot a little here then. You've scared Ibti, and even cool as cucumber Lily is trying to divert your attention.
  13. LOL @ Ngonge. Well, we don't want our stock to go down you see, we want to maintain the illusion that it's a seller's market. Oops, are we back to talking about commodities?
  14. Ibti, I have to admit I agree with me here (hehe). Hiphop didn't "die", it just became mainstream. When something reaches that level of popularity, quality goes down the drain. Rappers like 50 or Jay-Z are only selling to the lowest common denominator, which is essentially teenagers with little sense and plenty of disposable income. But underground hiphop is incredible, and that's where the quality stuff will always be. You can't throw a CD in Chicago or Seattle or Atlanta without hitting an artist with the same talent and promise as Lupe Fiasco. The question is, can underground hip-hop become mainstream? Should it? Remember, when Common released "Be", his longtime fans accused him of selling out.
  15. Ngonge, how do you say "not my cup of tea" without "justifying your reasons for not wanting to go"? If the reasons given are belittling the event, then that's the way the cookie crumbles dear. And give it up, Ibti hasn't fallen for the "if you were brave you would climb this tree all the way to the top and then jump down!" since she was 17.
  16. ^Now I can't help but complain: I have a Dell with nearly identical specifications, butI paid $1500 two years ago
  17. Ibti, about the sheikh, I just like the idea so much I'm going to believe there is. It's going to be a great day. CL, LOL @ commodities. I imagine you would be asking about warranties, and return policies, and how much mileage you can expect to get before you will need to change the carburetor.
  18. Ngonge, I for one would give my right arm to have the opportunity to go. You know how awkward getting-to-know-one-another conversations between men and women can get? Lame questions about what kind of movies/books/music you like? Well imagine that, only with a sheikh sitting beside you. Every answer will be a panicky "Qur'an of course!".
  19. Ms DD, do you mean to say there's some kind of speed dating thing coming up this weekend? With Somalis? That just boggles the mind. They'll spend the first 5 of the 7 minutes discussing their qabiil credentials.

    eHATE

    Sue, why are you friends with email forwarders? I long ago trained people not to forward me that kind of crap. As a result the only emails I get are notifications from the bank that my bill is due
  21. Ms DD, don't weddings happen every weekend in London? Or does it hold special significance for you? Your first match making success?
  22. CL, that's pretty. Where is it?
