Says BA. AA has been warning about this for a long time, it's coming to pass now.

Mr roT said...: It's spelled turbines.; 10/14/2006 2:58 PM
My Frontier Thesis said...: Heh.; 10/14/2006 3:30 PM
Mr roT said...: How's this for symmetry?; 10/14/2006 6:02 PM
The Darkroom said...: this reminds me of the dice line: if a guy sleeps around he's a stud but if a chick does she's a whore. Get used to it: that's just the way it is.; 10/14/2006 6:02 PM
Tecumseh said...: The 23-year-old insists the veil is not a communication barrier.

So how does one talk through the veil? On the face of it, having only that slit in the fabric at eye-level limits the communication possibilities. Am I not being multiculti enough to understand the subtleties of it all?; 10/14/2006 7:40 PM
The Darkroom said...: ai - we all would look better in a burkha.; 10/14/2006 7:49 PM
Tecumseh said...: Could be, could be -- especially if it were crimson red. But how about the communication bit? Hard to eplain things from behind that barrier, unless you have a Darth Vader contraption or something to amplify your voice, I'd imagine.; 10/14/2006 8:11 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: It's a [yet] free country Pepe. If you think a Burkha enhances your appearance, by all means wear one. There is, as Le Pew knows better than any of us, always a flamboyant subset of BigEasydom that properly appreciates a man who flaunts his feminine modesty.; 10/14/2006 9:49 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: As for "getting used to it", Pepe, is that what you learnt in your dicey days in Angola?; 10/14/2006 9:50 PM
Mr roT said...: Pepe, this 'get used to it' thing of yours is pretty invidious. Why not just get used to stonings in Jackson Sq?; 10/15/2006 1:07 AM
The Darkroom said...: too easy to push your buttons, guys.
I think I shall call for an amnesty for all child molesters next.; 10/15/2006 1:19 AM
Mr roT said...: Now that's just self-serving.; 10/15/2006 1:28 AM
Mr roT said...: Ah. Overkill would infringe on Rights...; 10/15/2006 2:13 AM
Tecumseh said...: How come you guys keep talking about boys, and do not comment instead of the crimson-rd burkha-clad woman I put up? I like the way that curled-up hand defends her modesty -- reminds me of the Botticelli conch.; 10/15/2006 3:22 PM
My Frontier Thesis said...: Sorry AI, I was too busy looking at the new Burkha babe to even think of commenting. Thanks for snapping me out of my Infidel stupor -- now I'm just an Infidel who's not in a stupor.; 10/15/2006 5:19 PM
