^Wow! waxaan kuu sheegayaa dib u aqri waxaad qortay! As to Xishood, I think I know what you are referring to! I don't think those jokes indicate qof aan xishooneyn! It all depends how one sees! I stand by them and you may like it or not, but I don't consider them 'disrespectful' one bit. I DON"T GIVE A DAMN about the feelings of 'insidious qabilists' who instead of responding to the right thread will wait for days churning inside, and will jump onto all togather different matter to avenge! If it is big deal for you that certain issues between men and woen are narrated, IT IS YOUR PROBLEM as well! I can certainly show you things I will consider more 'xishood' la'aan in this forum!! Dad iyo tol la caayay majirto laakiin adigaa Qabyaalad kaa dhex shanqadhaysaa! and I am not here to releive you of your inner bad feelings. You are spinning benign talk [not least on national TV by Aw-Kuku and Boon Xirsi]as a big issue!! Whatever I say about muqdisho or anyone, I will not ask or seek permission from YOU!! A local tribalist! God has given me a broader heart to believe I belong everywhere. If you have grown inside those hateful days of Somalia, It is you misfortune! As to the ban, while I have stated my ban in the past has to do with Politics, It is one of my least worries! I will abide by the rules, but if someone feels I haven't, so be it! DO YOU THINK I WILL BE EJECTED FROM HEAVEN?????????????? As to NGONGE, I can't agree more about being a gentleman, but I see you are trying to vent your anger camaflouging under his wings! Stand aside and talk!

Awoow waa salaan qaali ah! Waxoogaa ashkato ahina kama madhna!

^^^ Haye, maantoo dhan waxaan lahaa wuu soo dhexgaliye maxaad sidaa u yeeshay. Xaawaleey oo dhan inuu dabada ku wato anu maanigaa ogaa!!

^^^ Xiinn Salaan sare!

Sidaa u dood dee. But you are being disingenious about the Disapora bit. You well know those are not whom he was talking about. Sometimes, I wonder if you expect people to be so thorough in details as if they are posting legal manuscripts.

^Cadaw baad tahay! bal waxaad igu samaysay eeg on the other thread!

Soonkiyo Salaadu sahan weeye aakhiro. Thanks Haneefah for bringing my thoughts back to what really matters. Istaafurullah!

I thought someone will find it offensive for all the wrong reasons. Any problem to pre-empt? When people like LG are out there to twist what people say!

^dee waa kusidee Afro adigiibaa iga dacwoonayee! Sidii tusbax furataybay igu socotaa laakiin I will hold my ground!

NGONGE delcare a ceasre fire! or at least a truce! all kinds of people with 'dozes of resentments' are joining in under this pretext. It looks your army keeps firing non-stop. Amar bixi ninyow jabnaye Bal noocan ku leh qabiil baad u jeeday fiiri! Walaahi afkaan kala qaaday!

By design, I never debate with people who like to lit a fire of Fidno and are Munaafiqiin. It is over LG. I am serious dadka hadalka dadka leexiya are not my type!!! Saa inagu kala daa! Afromantic waakan isagii ku amrayee kolna masarka xidho kula fur ku lehe, haye kolkaa maxaad nagu haysataa!!

Bal sheekada iyo Munaafaqadaad meesha la timid fiiri? About Moqgishu, Igama xigtid. Unless you are one of those who think in local terms Moqdisho and Muqdushaawi are my people and I love them. I am really surprised at your shots. Maxaa meeshan qabiil keenay. You are walaahi a troubled soul. I denounce all of your nonsenses and attempts to tarnish my image. I am from Jigjiga and I just joked about it the other day. Shed your complexities and insidiuos munaafaqnimo. There are plenty of mistakes you can accuse me on, but what you picked is pure venom. NONSENSE iyo badh baad tahay ee hana la sheekaysan!!!!!!!!!!! Afromantic Hadda yaa la caayay!Ma gabdahaa adiga ku taageeray NGONOOW ayaa cay ah? Let people decide if that is cay, and I will duly apologise!! Xaal iyo Xurmayn baan bixin haday taaso cay noqoto!!

THE STINGY GROOM “Come here! Now! I say come here and listen to me”, the groom- Khadar-Dhagaweyne beckoned the young boy in charge of the ceremony, who also happens to be his Inaabti, to come close. He reclined a bit to the side and whispered to the baffled boy. “Kaa soo ma’aragtid. That one in the corner; the one with the blue shirt. I was watching him the whole evening; and I am not happy. Lix baan ka tiriyay, counting the number of bottles under his table. Did they tell him this is a festival organised by the Coca-Cola company or some sort of Bazaar!?” And he instructed the young boy on what action he has to take. “Tell the owner of the Hotel, I will not pay him a single penny over and above what we agreed on. I told him thirty boxes; and if he wants to tell me ‘the people drank twenty’, it is his problem. The rest is jeebkiisa! Anaguu raabaa inuu suuq nagu dulsamaysto.” The boy, embarrassed but unwilling to engage the groom in debate [particularly at a time the bride was elbowing the man to tell him something], just managed to say “That will be a problem. More people than we invited have showed up. It will be a problem if we don’t give them drinks”. The unfazed Dhagaweyne issued him a stern order: “Qasabada haka cabaan dadku. Give them water.” Indeed, the groom in anger got lost in reverie. Not so long ago, in the morning he had a similar problem ‘with people who are intent in ruining him’. Like his sister-in-law: the useless Sahra-Buur. She called to inform him that the bride will need 1000 Birr to do her hair for the big occasion. And he got furious. “Kun aa??? Bal ku celi? Kunku waa maxay? Listen to me! Just cancel that scheme. I am not inetersted in hair deisgns.” Realising he was too blunt to his dumaashi, he tried to recuperate some lost pride. “Fiiri it is not about the money! I really don’t like hair done by professionals. I like it when it is more natural. Sidaa iskaga daaya.” Yet, inside he was shouting “ Waaban ka xiiri, why all this hustle!” When one of the minxiisado told him that they need a car to transport a three-decker cake they ordered the previous day from a local pastry, he felt the bile rising inside his intestines. “There is no such thing as cake! The sheikh in the Mosque passed an edict banning such ersatz cultures copied from reer-galbeedka”, he informed. That he accepted the wedding ceremony be done in a big Hotel, in the first place, is because the bride insisted on and refused to settle for anything less. He compromised there and is in no mood to be pushed further into khassare! So, when again one of the organising boys told him that the photographer has already done ten films and is preparing for the eleventh, he was agitated. “Muxuu sawirayaa? Tell him. Any photo oo aniga iyo caruusada ama minxiiska iyo minxiisadu ayna ku jirin is not my concern. Does he want me to pay after taking pictures of the whole town? Shilin ma siinayo ee ha ogaado!” Concerned by the amount of side-talks and the lack of concentration from her man, the bride chided him to relax and focus on the dance floor where several boys and girls- including the tall Ina-Xadhigo who is kind of the man for such occasions- was twisting and turning. “ Naa maxaan daawanaa, xoolahanagiibaa cirka lagu maalayaaye” he retored back and wiped sweat from his forehead. At around midnight, as those who have to go to their houses-mainly dadkii reeraha lahaa started going; there was a shortage of cars to transport them back to their homes. That is when the bride spoke softly to his ears and asked if he has a plan. She was thinking of an arrangement to hire Taxis’. But he was quick to dispel that notion: “Majirto. They can go on foot. Why are they insisting on a transport? For instance, eedadaa Dahabo her house is just across the street!!”

When even Malike thinks I am crazy, I must be crazy for real! Allow ii sahal! Tolow ninkani muxuu gabdaha taabsiiyey?????????

Serenity I knew you were his! Indeed a mole and a ploy! Insults are the distinctive trademark of his desciples! How unmistakable! EDIT: NGONGE, you are breaking the laws of war. Even by the laws of entropy, this is getting too messy. Don't involve xaafadaha into this battle. car banaanka iigu soo bax to avoid collateral damage of the women and children!

Haaaa! It is me who is the fool. Ninkan cid kasta ka cabsanayso, why I am fighting with? especially when he has invested well on woman. And now I know surrogates like Xinn will soon arrive as reinforcements!! I now he is PM'ing them!

^^^ Just give me few months, intaan urur haween wing soo aasaasanayo!! As it stands now, i am afraid, I can't fight with you!

If I have started a thread about your silly responses (which your explanations did little to hide) maad iska kay celisid, Maxaad haweeenka iigu soo fasaxday?

NGONGE waa horuu xer-dumar ah samaysatay. Intaana isagii isa soo gaadhinba haweenkiisiiba kab dacas ah iyo tamuujo igala daalay!! War ninku haween badanaa!!

^waan soo qaddeynee, MALIKA hold the fort! Good Girl!

Serenity Now that you stated your position [although technically you haven't defined who the criminal is- and I can still be the one], I will take you onboard; don't mind Ibti's little effort at starting wildfire! But who is the criminal? say it? this was suppossed to be a liberation? is xoree ha cabsane!

Originally posted by -Serenity-: AT&T.. I'm with you on this! all the way! All the way to where? Perdition? all the way ha odhane wax sheeg! Hadii kale I will consider you as a mole la ii soo diray! Brofossore Spagheti Bolognese, runtii!

Eagle-eyed as I am, I noticed that viscosity long ago. But it is not one I resent; it is good; as long as you have the courage to stop one another when one goes wayward. On a serious note, I think for all his greatness, NGONGE is at times dismissive and rude. Particularly when he dismisses someone who endevoured to provide honest points. He doesn't educate the person with ideas nor engages in dialogue. It is the ubiquitous "N&S". That doesn't bother me. Me, I have become something of "a blood pressure measurement tool" owing largely to my mishaps in resorting to jokes and sullying my 'serious man' reputation in the politics thread. It is a fate I have invited upon myself via my own indiscretions which I know I will revamp from in style! ME, of late who is not trying his lot with me? From the little sweet LILY with her sociology lessons on sterotypes to whoever out there! beware of the reformed A&T people!!! It is not business as usual. I sting and sting real bad if I have to! But I also know why I don't have good team is because I am a bad captain. Firing in all directions and not focusing on the real fight! FYI, I know Ibti thinks I have taken this thing all too seriously, but rest assured I can never be 'least serious' than when I sound like one!

Like all conflicts, the protagonists are not allowed to take it out between themselves. Too much meddling. So far fans of one-side are making the noise. Is this a home game? And I am the visiting team? To hell? I will score a goal and silence this huge crowd just like Greece did in Portugal! Bokero is just one among the uncountable PIVs! But to be honest, I was expecting as sufficient punishment if NGONGE were to spend few weeks in the same room with the likes of General Duke ( who I know will feel aggrieved as his name is called in his absence). CL quote: "A&T- are you jealous?". Yes jealous of his intellect and caliber; but not of his insults!
