Dear President Yar'Adua,
Ranka dede sir. Saanu da aiki sir. I hope this letter finds you well.
If so, doxology. I am constrained to write urgently to intimate you
with the frustrating conditions I've had to contend with since I
assumed duties as Nigeria 's Ambassador to the Republic of South
Africa .

you were very young and I left you sleeping alone in the house and

“Anadyr?” she
said and put the keychain into
her backpack. In that movement
I caught a unexpected glimpse
of her hands. They were blue
and white, skinny and dry. Not
that skinny and dry was a rare
combination in those days,
neither was blue and white.
Everyone was blue veins on
white skin in those days,
growing thinner and more
watery with every day. Yet I
had not expected her hands to
look like the hands of others.
I had thought her to be above
the common sufferings of
common mortals. “What are you
doing here?”

"Dear Rich Arab, Please hurry,
my school grades are bad. If
they don't improve I will fail
my school year. I can not seem
to function and do my homework
as my myspace is too busy and
I have too many virtual
friends. They literally
virtually deprive me of real
sleep and my Second Life
avatar has formed relations
with another avatar who is
cheating on my myspace
persona. I feel jealous and
don't know if I can cope. Can
you send me money to employ a
Bangladeshi to blog for me?"

Miss Carnivorous
versus
the sqatters
Back to
the 19th century
On Thursday, Feb. 14, police descended on the Kennedy Road
Settlement in Durban and began ripping out electrical hookups. They
ripped out pirated service, and they ripped out legal service. They
dug up wires that had been run underground.
Every day is a holiday for the
homeless! Yesterday on the local news they continued an investigation into the homeless
encampments in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. They
interviewed a charming drunk, who
said "I could get a room in the city but I just love it here."

ZAPPY CORLEONE
A Close Shave
Yesterday Morning.
Ahmed hails a taxi from Al-Shaab District asks the driver to take him to
Karrada, Ahmed agrees to the Price the drive asked and pops in.
Just after crossing the ING checkpoints on the Al-Shaab bridge and instead of
taking the left exit towards the Army Canal road towards central Baghdad he
continues towards the Sleigh.
Ahmed notices and hits the driver on his adam's apple so hard the Taxi driver
gets disoriented and slams the brakes, he tries to pull out his gun but Ahmed
has managed to throw himself out the car and runs towards the ING checkpoint.
The End.
True... God and his instincts saved him.
it’s so Gucci!!!

Turknology
There are a couple useful
words some friends and I
coined while living in Turkey.
Turknology allowed one to jack
a broken truck up on wooden
blocks, then build a small
fire under it so one could see
what was broken on the
undercarriage. It also allowed
you to to plug the telephone
wires that come out of the
wall into 220v. Then all you
have to do go to the ground
floor and run a screwdriver
over the telephone block until
you get big sparks. This is
how you identify the correct
wires!
I laugh because last week, I
finally got the refrigerator
fixed. Seriously, it was so
hard for me to get the master
out I was envisioning life
without a refrigerator and
thinking it wouldn't be all
that bad.
My less-than-year old
refrigerator's motor broke.
Yes, I know it should have
been under warranty. No, I had
no clue how to administer the
warranty service process.
"JUST FIX IT! I WILL PAY." I
could say that.
Two masters arrived with their
equipment. Removing and
repairing the motor required
welding. In my wood kitchen.
The kitchen was filled with
freon gas and the smell of
welding. What could possibly
go wrong?
The smoke alarm screeched. The
masters looked at me and asked
"what's that?"
Also, the master came to fix
the leaking skylight/roof. It,
too, requiring welding.
