[lizard]

a friend of mine travels around the world working for Boeing...check out this pic he took in Karachi of a guy literally riding shotgun!

I went to Karachi a few years ago to visit family and there was some dude with a shotgun sitting on a lawn chair in front of the McDonald's. I asked my relatives about it and apparently things like McDonald's get burned down and junk frequently because it's a sign of Western culture blah blah blah. Also there was a cricket game going on and there was a fucking.. minigun-type thing (if memory serves me correctly) mounted on the jeep pointed at the crowd of crazed cricket fans. Also we saw a guy PISSING ON THE FUCKING STREET. Just.. pissing on the street. In the nopen. It's a weird place.

Not to mention the place smells like fucking burning garbage all the time. And I got some weird skin infection and there are lizards all over the house (which is actually kind of cool.) One time my uncle shot this big lizard thing that was trying to eat our ducks.

aysha's dad is from karachi, and her grandmother came over here to visit once (to NYC) and was too scared to leave the house except she wanted to pee outside. and she was four feet tall.

Ok, I don't really know anything about Karachi, but that guy could easily be from North Carolina. Where I'm from it really isn't all that uncommon to see firearms riding around in cars the way most peoples pets do. In fact, even though it wasn't really allowed it wasn't uncommen to see them in the cars of my former high schools parking lot. We had a shooting team for God's sake. One of our competing school actually practiced in their schoolbus parking lot.

Coincidentally, my aunt (named Aysha) is staying with us for a few weeks. She's from Karachi.

She pees inside though.

i JUST learned RIGHT NOW that Pakistan is the world's SIXTH MOST POPULOUS COUNTRY. what the greg! more than Russia or Japan!

and Bangladesh is the 8th. India, obviously, is the 2nd, meaning that if the Raj still held together, it would be this insane teeming mass of billions of people ready to kick ass and produce hot daughters and shitty musical movies.

 

[lizard]

xfer due to your indian fetish does that mean you are afraid to be nuked by pakistanis
?

 

[xfer]

i think Americans should be more worried about being hit by a Pakistani nuke than Indians should be.

 

[lizard]

but Presnit Bush sez Pakistan ar our freinds. and allies against terrer.

 

[xfer]

they're even better friends than the Saudis!

I don't want a separate thread, but alex have you seen that although Alan Keyes called cheney's lesbian daughter a selfish hedonist, his own daughter appears to be of the same persuasion?
the blogosphere is abuzz.

 

[xfer]

no way, i didn't realise!

apparently damage control is in full swing, the alleged maya keyes blog is being dismantled but she was saying her parents wouldn't pay for her college because she "kisses girls"

scroll down abit http://atrios.blogspot.com/

the original site also had a pic of her being hugged by her *gasp* white girlfriend, but like I say, the original source blog is being dismantled, probably under the volcanic rage of her father.
