| #10 Supposedly 1 October, the average age of the 'burg will dip a little. And 6, that sure woke the Tsar up! Didn't know he could run that fast. Made a good dive to the computer to turn it off. Thanks for the laugh. ;) |

| #1 Ok, on behalf of the West, I will apologize for the offensive cartoons. The following conditions need to be met first, however: 1) Formal apology for blowing up the statues of the Buddha in Afghanistan by the Taliban. You remember, the ones that were considered to be world treasures by the UN? Yeah, those ones. Clarification as to what the Buddhists did to you guys in the first place to get you so inflamed with rage would also be appreciated, because quite frankly, for the rest of us, it's a big huge WTF? 2) Formal apology for believing that crap that Newsweek stated about us flushing the Koran down the toilet. I expect dimwitted hacks to not realize how difficult it is to flush a large book, since heaven only knows when they last picked up one not written by another "intrepid journalist speaking truth to power". But since this book is, by your statements, the major tome of your religion and one you are intimately familiar with, couldn't you figure out that maybe there would have to be a loo of epic proportions to flush it? I mean, c'mon, have you seen those "water saving toilets" we're cursed with here? The hidden Shiite imam will arrive at Tehran International Airport before we get through the beginning sura! 3) Formal statement that cartoons depicting the Israeli leader eating children, or movies depicting other Hebrews of stealing body parts or using blood to make matzoh are so 2003. A few cartoons showing Jews with baby ducks, kittens and adorable puppies would be nice, but I'm not hoping for a miracle. 4) Formal statement that what your co-religionists are doing in Darfur is a disgrace. No, I don't care if the 235,987th most learned imam says it's ok, either. You have until I walk over to the CVS or the Walgreens to make up your minds. If such statements are not issued by the time I decide which one I'm going to (could take a moment, since I have to check the sales flyers first), this hormonally charged woman is going to buy a tin of Danish butter cookies. Or two. For my That's what you're dealing with here, pal. Make the statements, or Copenhagen's getting my $5. The choice is yours. May peas be upon you, etc., etc., etc. |
