Hilarious. Excellent.

I am seriosuly unable to understand all the hyper sensitivity of some of the interactors out here. Nikki7777, take it easy. What`s with all the lame Pak bashing? You should learn to laugh. You always seem to be frowning on chowk. Hope it`s better in NY.

soundmeister #175 If you were not a stupid, humorless man, you would realize that the write-up was a not geared to ridicule hindus, but rather to have a bit of fun with the STEREOTYPING (in capitals, just in case that helps penetrate your thick skull) of hindus (i.e. the Evil, Scheming Hindu) and of muslims (i.e. the Noble, Brave Muslim) that some muslims have in their mind. (and read the earlier discussion where I was arguing against stereotyping of any community, in case that also helps penetrate your thick skull).

Anyway, considering that the only stuff I have seen from you over the past 3-4 years on chowk has been the usual gibberish that you and so many of your countrymen seem consumed with - ridiculing pakistanis and/or muslims while glorifying yourselves to the point of absurdity - I am not surprised that all you could think of was ``tahmed is calling us hindus evil``
duhhh!! bloody idiots!!

heeng is asafoetida, which in latin mean the stinky spice (foetid), also known as devils dung.
its actually a persian spice, made famous by mughals and adopted in horrible hindu cooking.
Even today, is mostly imported to india from iran and afganistan, though kashmir also grows some.

apparently, Alxander the greats fingers stank of heeng even after he returned to macedonia. now many aprtments from edison to sunnyvale lose their deposits due to the smell of piss.

If urstruly were an Indian:

- Kashmir problem would have been long solved
- More hindus would have converted to Islam
- Heeng would have been outlawed
- Indians and Pakistanis may just be one big happy family (under Mughal II dynasty of course)

stuka

``I may regret saying this but I wish Urstruly had been Indian.``

i also like ursy, but this is really hitting below the belt. well, at least you did not wish he were a hindu.

``6. If a Hindu has sex with a cow, would he be arrested for incest or bestiality? ``

incest. for arabs if its a she-camel, and if its true love then god is merciful. but if its a bull then its homo-stuff and the punishement is public bobbitization by axe.

Urstruly:
Last night I was listening to a brilliant radio interview on the CBC`s Ideas program. Somehow, it reminded me of you. I think that you will enjoy it.

Ladies and gentlemen: Given that this anecdote tht I have been describing in my posts below, titled The Hindu, has been inspired by Urstruly`s advice, and given that further advice on how to deal with the Hindu is not forthcoming from Urstruly, we shall have to end with Scene IV below. Will the Hindu bleed the life out of the Good Muslim? Or will the Good Muslim survive to prove the triumph of Good over Evil in the Final Battle? Will we ever see that Succubus daughter of the Hindu again as she tries desperately once again to tempt the Good Muslim with the pleasures of the flesh and to thus prevent him from performing his Pious Duty of bowing in humble submission to the Almighty?

We will never know....unless further inspiration is forthcoming from Urstruly.

Urtruly #163
``Dear Hindus

I beg you to curse me all you want but for Tarlok`s sake don`t try to be funny. ( That goes for tahmad too, he is trying so hard that I am afraid that he might rupture a hernia in his brain.)``

I hate it when something makes me snort, that post sure did. You`re righteous, brother! Rock on....

(Rupter a hernia he may, but beysharam give up nahin karegaa)

Since one never knows when Urstruly is jesting and when he is serious, he has ingeniously subverted the censors

Oh yes, thank you for the clarification.
