You don't need to keep trying to cheer us up, Ogged. We're fine.
This was supposed to be a funny post. I guess humor really is cultural.
Wow. Say what you like about them, the Taliban are some pretty serious revenge aficionados.
I'm surprised the clip didn't include the LA anchor Kent (after)Shockneck diving for cover during the Northridge quake.
Moral of second half of post: don't lose to people who have medieval thinking.
True story of rough crowd:
At the end of a party, Guy #1 punches Guy # 2. Guy #2's buddy shouts "Back off," and fires gun in the air.
Guy #1's buddies shout, "It is only a 9!! Get him!!!!!" and rush forward.
Rough crowd.
Another true story of a rough crowd:
At the end of the party, a number of people just won't leave, despite numerous hints about the late hour, ostentatious yawning and stretching, etc.
Rough crowd: the party's just getting good, and all of a sudden there are all these lamers talking about how it's five in the morning and they have to work the next day.
I suspect Najibullah did flinch at some point before the end.
Horrible of course, but if such things must happen, it's just a pity they're not confined to the Najibullahs of the world.
Ogged, my dual processor iMac doesn't recognize "application/x-mplayer2." Would you be a be a good chap and provide a conversion copy? I would be ever so grateful.
Picture a guy sitting at a desk, looking at the camera. Now picture the top of someone's head entering the frame, a strange noise issuing from him, as he falls into the first man. Now keep pictuering a guy sitting at a desk, looking at the camera.

Ogged, I think there's money in your media player --> descriptive prose converter. Need to patent it, quick.
I'm still working on charging you all for each comment. Or maybe I can combine the two: ttaM comments, several people laugh, then wait...

It'd probably just get used like Babelfish. An ok resource, but mostly just a bunch of smartass college kids who run movies based upon books through the converter to see how much it differs from the original book... And they'd all use Naked Lunch.
Of course, you never hear the other side of the story from anti-Taliban liberals.
