Did You Know?

That, according to Iran's President Ahmadinejad, they don't have teh gheys?

Not one. Not a single ghey.

Last year, Iran hung some gheys. Do you think they scared the rest straight?

..or it could be that Ahmadinejad is an out-of-touch idiot.

A couple of random thoughts:

Recently, two leaders were met with fierce opposition when they attempted to appear at Ground Zero to pay their respects. One was Ahmedinejad; the other was Rudy Giuliani.

I'm still waiting for George W. Bush to appear before a group of students at Columbia University.

Is the spelling an attempt to control ad content?

No, it's one of the intentional mis-spellings that is all the rage with the internet kiddies these days.

By the way, the last time there was this kind of fad for humorous misspelled words (mid 1800's), we ended up with O.K., which stood for "Oll Korrect".

Nah, his campaign capitalized on the already-popular Oll Korrect:
In a second phase, O.K. was boosted by the 1840 presidential election, and thus marked to outlast the acronym fad from which it came. Democratic supporters of candidate Martin Van Buren equated "Oll Korrect" with "Old Kinderhook", which was a nickname for Van Buren, a native of Kinderhook, NY. In response, Whig opponents attributed O.K., in the sense of "Oll Korrect", to Andrew Jackson's bad spelling. Thus, the election popularized both O.K. and a folk etymology that the acronym came from Andrew Jackson.

Trit, I took it as a kiddie hooker myself. Either he was one, or he liked them. ;)

++ very cool word origins. I love entomology, and that's honestly the first time I've heard of it.

I was doing my show in Michigan not too long ago. Afterward we had a talk back section where the audience gets to ask me questions about the show, and me. It can get pretty amusing at times, and pretty scary at others.

The night before we left, a man who told us all he was from Iran stood up and damned me like I'd never been damned before. As the ushers rushed up the aisle to throw him out, he screamed:

"The President was right! There are no Gays in our country!"

to which I replied:

"...and there's no real freedom. Either way, you lose."

...and then the crew and I went for Chinese.

When I was in Peace Corps, we were given a cross-cultural manual, to give us an idea of what to expect from the locals, depending on what country we were assigned to.

The Peace Corps said there were only four countries in the world where local men would regularly sexually proposition male volunteers. Three were Sri Lanka, Turkey and Morocco. Can you guess the fourth?

Nope, but thanks for playing! There are no active Peace Corps volunteers posted in the United States.

PS: Massachusetts is also incorrect.

Iran? I hear it's pretty bad in Saudi Arabia as well.

Oh, and by bad, I mean that there is a thriving under-culture of sexual abuse of domestic servants from other countries in Saudi Arabia.
9.26.2007 3:43pm
IB Bill (mail):
At least according to the Peace Corps, Iran was the fourth. I'm not sure if PC ever had volunteers in Saudi Arabia.

From what I understand, there is also a strong subculture of homosexual sex, not necessarily homosexuality, throughout the Arab world.

My point, though, was Mr. Ahmedwhatmacallit is not only wrong, he's far more wrong than he imagines, since Iran is one of the gayest countries out there. Or he's just lying.
