the state of the country had a huge role to play in him being the president for the second time. he was 'better between the two in such a situation' according to the general population. he wasn't popular even then.
So the Sardars have finally found somebody stupider to take their place in the aeroplane story. Atleast it's 2008..For India the 2009 elections seems so far away. But then one's worse than the other, so there's nothing to look forward to.
hey pai! at least u have a govenment, i am from a country, ur neighbour in fact, which has been struggling for years just to have one. the last time we had elections was more than 10 yrs ago.
Anusha you're treading dangerous waters here, Mr. Pradhan has an intense malevolence towards Indians. Beware.
All these pictures are doctored anyway... no one can be THAT mentally challenged. Besides, he has the power of words. 9/11 is like his power shield. It can deflect the most dangerous attacks.
GWB: Say something, say anything to me. Gimme your best shot.
I'm working on reworking your image Pragyan. How will you make a great leader without skeletons in your closet, literally? Consider it as part of your future PR campaign when you run for president. You can't lose with me running the show in the background.
I think someone needs to be reminded about a tragic defeat at my hands. Global Domination is my forte, no matter how many sixes you dole out with your black magic, it's not going to work... especially when your familiar Robin is not around to curse!
I remember Maity telling me about that. There's also a soy sauce type seasoning sauce (can it be called sauce?? hmm...) called Maggi, which is also from Nestle.
Going by its reputation, Maggi is one of the most coveted substances on Indian boarding school campuses. A friend of mine (an ex-boarder) once told me her school sent a note home saying she'd been found with illegal substances. The substances turned out to be three packets of the aforesaid noodle.
@Maity: the school in question was RV. Jayant's old school.
i still remember that night of disaster, and i was the victim of the black magic - not u maity! i guess robin had used up all her power on me. u saw it, too. that was one big example against all the theories i had learned in maths. there is no way probability can explain what happened then.
good old boarding school days...any kind of food smuggled into the territory used to be heavenly. didn't matter if it was one of the worst brands of noodles or biscuits...still better than the food given to us. i am sure most of us here would understand my sentiments.
it puzzled me for a while too...when i saw the little anagram game of yours. i like it.
It's amazing how everyone with a boarding school experience instinctively connect on so many levels. Except for those bastard Mayo boys.
I miss those boarding school days of cooking noodles. Geometry dividers converted into immersion rods to heat water. Rulers for spoons, 2 litre coke bottles cut in half to use as a cooking vessel. Cooking maggi was an art form, the right amount of water and cheese and of course, chilli garlic spread. The record for finishing 5 packs of maggi amongst x number of people is about ten seconds. Of course, there was stiff competition with Top Ramen, Wai Wai, Yum Yum and Goreng.
I'm from New Jersey, the arm pit of the US (Actually, Jersey is the best...don't believe all the crap you hear about it unless it's about North Jersey. South Jersey > North Jersey). Born in Hong Kong, though. (That's the short version. Will spare you guys the details.)
The brand is spelled Maggi. http://www.nestle.com/Our_Brands/Prepared_Foods/Maggi/
Singing to..Stevie Nicks? No clue. And I'm proud to say I have yet to dance on a bar or sing to _____ (in public, anyway). Stand on a table in a public place I have, though. =P
standing on a table in a public place? that reminded me of something... my 'twist n shout' dance with maity - once in the library and the other time after the lunar new year party. u don't actually need to know how to dance to really enjoy it. maggie, u don't know what u r missing in life. u need to dance in public, at least once before u graduate. i feel bad now for not being there on campus.

Oh yeah, unfortunately, I have seen that movie. Haha...it was horrible. Maybe me having supressed the fact that I watched that movie made me miss the connection you were referring to.
Was there ever a President who wasn't ridiculed by large portions of the world's population?
ReplyDeleteLet's face it - Bush can't be THAT stupid if he managed to be President of the USA for two terms...
Haha you stole this from SS' email.
ReplyDeleteI beg to differ. Dubya is the dumbest President in recent memory. Not to mention both times, he won ("won" the first time) by the skin of his teeth.
the state of the country had a huge role to play in him being the president for the second time. he was 'better between the two in such a situation' according to the general population. he wasn't popular even then.
ReplyDeleteSS never sent me any email with these pics.
Oh...what a coincidence, then. My bad!
ReplyDeleteSo the Sardars have finally found somebody stupider to take their place in the aeroplane story.
ReplyDeleteAtleast it's 2008..For India the 2009 elections seems so far away. But then one's worse than the other, so there's nothing to look forward to.
Sorry Surds. It sounds better to say that. "Sardars" sounds more intelligent
ReplyDeletehey pai! at least u have a govenment, i am from a country, ur neighbour in fact, which has been struggling for years just to have one. the last time we had elections was more than 10 yrs ago.
ReplyDeleteOh so you are not Indian? I thought you were!! Yeah india is definately better off than it's neighbours..
ReplyDeletesorry i didn't mention that. i am from nepal.

DEM: You're stupid.
GWB: 9/11.
DEM: Aeeeeiiiii....
See what I mean.
u keep saying that about me to others. i don't know about others but i might have some problems with you soon if you decide to continue.

ReplyDeletejoivrc: almost but not quite
quite forgot about nepal.. i was thinking bangladesh, myanmar, indonesia... no offense, praggy.
ReplyDeletealunrs: the other Morissette...
Maity: You can help Praggy win but with me (and some of my magic), he can win by a landslide. Mwhaha..ha
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm done.

ReplyDeleteppjzai: dyslexic pizza
Haha that was quite tragic. (Biggest understatement ever.)
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with the anagrams or what have you? Dyslexic pizza?
My my Mighty haven't you taught Sookhi Maggi the word ver game?
ReplyDeletevfdfo: visually identified flying objects
Just learned it. I'm a newbie. =(
ReplyDeleteWhat's Sookhi mean?

ReplyDeleteI haven't had maggi(the noodle..perakath stop getting ideas) in so long.

Suddenly I'm hungry.
lmgczwry: really? I never knew.
Oh yeah, Maggi sauce too... actually I think it might be a complete food brand! Don't they make jam as well?
ReplyDeleteSo where are you from, Magi old girl?
They're not really anagrams. Sometimes acronyms, sometimes just what the word reminds you of. I'm hooked on it now!

ReplyDeletexoiqtemh: Imhotep and Tutankamen, sitting in a tree...

ReplyDeleteI was talking to you, actually.

ReplyDeleterwdex - random word index (i hope this is acceptable, phew!)
Maybe on class and charter day, which also happens to be the day I turn in my thesis!
ReplyDelete^ try getting drunk, might help!
ReplyDeleteand I was referring to Coyote Ugly, actually. LeAnn Rimes. Haven't you seen it?
Oh yeah, unfortunately, I have seen that movie. Haha...it was horrible. Maybe me having supressed the fact that I watched that movie made me miss the connection you were referring to.
