Everyone must start drinking heavily every day. Else how will you know what to do in paradize with all that booze flowing freely?

Anny you dont want us to have experience with this heavenly stuff?

AAmir do they teach these jihadi fools the art of drinking in paradize?

re all of you

Aicha: you become new Agriculture Minister

AnNy: You get to be new Food Minister sans alcohol of course

And Aamir: As the great Delhi poet said:

`` Peene de zaahid masjid me baikhar,

Ya wo jagha bata de jahaab Khuda na hon``

The New Roachistan republic will not be a theocracy so your references are duly and respectfully noted, and, I may add, recommended to the public for their PERSONAL decision.

THE TIMES

12 die in hooch tragedy near Chennai







HENNAI: In a major hooch tragedy, at least 12 people, including two vendors, died after consuming an illicit brew at suburban Menambedu village, police said Saturday.

The victims, attending a marriage function, took ill Friday after consuming the brew mixed with rectified spirit. While four persons died on Friday night, eight persons died Saturday.

At least two persons were battling for life at the government general hospital here, police said.

Bodies of six victims were now in government general hospital and another six had been kept in the government Kilpauk Medical College Hospital. While some of them died at their houses, others died after being admitted to hospitals, Deputy Inspector General of police K Rajendran said.

One person had been detained in connection with the supply of the illicit brew, he said.

Earlier, in the state Assembly, Revenue Minister O Paneerselvam, replying to points of order raised by some members on the tragedy, said in all 14 persons took ill of whom nine had died.

Two of the deceased were the sellers of the brew and had a history of prohibition offences, the minister said.

Special police teams had been sent to Andhra Pradesh and neighbouring districts to find out the source of the killer brew, he said adding an investigation by the police was on.

Neptune - i guess so !!

But I have seen what the chinese do to turtles. They knock sharply on the shell to get the poor turtle to poke out its head and then thwack !! The head is cut off in one stroke. It takes some time for the legs to stop moving. The whole thing is too ugly for words. That said am off to lucnk

Take care -

Genteel bongs of the present generation have neither the stomach, patience nor the adventurousness of their grandfathers. In addition to goat`s head, other common items of consumption (not so common today) used to be turtles, eels, snails and rabbits. You would have heard of the Hilsa.... do you know that the oil obtained from its fat is a great delicacy and eaten with rice?

tahmed #148

Entirely true. Only in bongland will you find entire goat heads for sale at the butchers (unlike elsewhere where only the bheja is sold). It is interesting to note that this used to be very popular among brahmins as opposed to usual meat eaters like muslims or the lower castes.

And yes, the entire head sans the skin. From what I have heard, it is cracked before cooking for easier access :) As I`ve mentioned earlier, few of the genteel educated types have the stomach for this nowadays. Or a kadhai of that size for that matter.

Let me stop before I gross out everybody around here.

You will have a new rebholushion on hand if you deprive any self respecting Bengali from booze and cigarettes.

In fact, as food min you will have to issue ration cards for subsidised grog or else there will be hartals and bandhs all round.

Btw, did you know that there are licensed govt shops which sell opium, charas, ganja etc. to ration card holders. I have seen a few in Calcutta but not anywhere else. Anyone has more information?

(Incidentally, I am lost.... are we discussing sigalph`s new bong republic or are we discussing roachistan?)

re neptune 146

DOn`t worry bro. I`ll appoint a high powered minister to eradicate this communism non-sense. You know how your new Prez Sigalph feels about this weird, immoral, unfashionable, and petty-bourgeoise philosophy.

In fact we will rename all the Bose road after some loyal officer of the British India Army and replace the STalin/Lenin names with respectable names like Lincoln and Washington.

re anNy

I am forthwith relieving you of agriculture. This new government`s policy is not only tolerating but expounding he virtues of alcoholic beverages. Are, piyenge nahin to jiyenga kaise?

In fact I will recommend that you be made head of the new National Welfare, Good Works, and Samarotans Board!

), order that all alcohol be thrown into the beautiful rivers of kerala- and tank, pepsi, coke , thumbs up, naryal ka paani be made available for free to the entire population of roachistan.

What kind of discrimination is this. I thought us Indians were the Roaches, and now we are denied alcohol in our own country, Roachistan. Alcohol is a must. Teetotallers can have their ganney ka juice if they like, but without sharaab aur kabaab, I might as well become a monk.

Ref AnNy:

``anyone caught drinking from the river will be prosecuted. i will personally see to it.``

you do that and I`ll pull out all my money from the diving NASDAQ and open up string of bars in neighbouring bug-istan.

there are few endevours so devoid of moral ambiguity and so full of profit as bootlegging!!

Let a thousand rivers of Hoogarden, Leffe, Chimay, Paulaner, Budweiser, Heiniken flow....

I hereby drink the inagural pint of roachistan`s own special brew SewerNiken, aaaaah ....

(btw this is my only complain against the Paki restaurants in the US, yaar why make such good kabab`s if you wont let us drink a Miller lite with it?)

Neptune

Have you ever accompanied a Bengali to a rest where they have Fried Bheja on display or to a dimsum place where they do the same with chicken legs or intestines?? Going by their squeamish reactions ``goats head in curry`` cannot be happening in Bengal. (btw if you want to enjoy your meal in peace then DONT : )

Neptune #145 ``Ever seen a goat`s head boiling in curry?``

Is this true? How complete is the goat`s head (e.g. without skin I assume, but how about teeth, eyeballs, tongue?)? Is it a regional thing (I have been to central and north Bangladesh and never saw anything like this in those parts)?
