Ramadan Kareem All

Ramadan Kareem All
As MC Hammer says
“We got to pray just to make it today”
This is the first time since 1942 that the Jewish new year and Ramadan have both started around the same time.
So, try L’shana tova (Happy Rosh Hashana).
And may the Flying Spaghetti Monster bless us all with his noodly appendage during this holy time.

I haven’t done a Hello Kitty post in a while, viagra but this one should make up for it. It is a order 39041749, buy more about 39239366,00.htm”>Hello Kitty Fire Extinguisher!
It just boggles the mind on what these people can do. I think that is why I love it to so much, she is the epitome of branding. She never gets old, won’t be in rehab, will just be perfect and smiling and whoring herself out to every type of merchandise.

Like Symbols I saw the MBC ad for the Simpsons aka (Shamsooms) in Arabic and have to say it is going to be just crap.
First that it is going to be in Ramadan, approved so all those episodes where Homer (Omar) is drinking beers (which is like a majority of them), ascariasis or going to Moes and such will most likely be gone. So dont expect the Flaming Moes episode, or this:
Homer: Got any of that beer that has candy floating in it? You know, Skittlebrau?
Apu: Such a beer does not exist, sir. I think you must have dreamed it.
Homer: Oh. Well, then just give me a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles.
or Barney
Barney: Hmm… someone spillt beer into this ashtray!
Then you have the ones involving the church and God. That will go of well I am sure during Ramadan, so those are going to be gone. Might as well say good bye to Rev. Lovejoy.
Rev. Lovejoy: Get a divorce.
Helen: Hmm, hmm.
Marge: Isn’t that a sin?
Rev. Lovejoy: Marge, everything is a sin. (holds out Bible) Have you ever sat down and read this thing? Technically, we’re not allowed to go to the bathroom.
How about Flanders?
“Hi-diddly-ho, neighbors!”
How the hell are they going to translate that?
Or this great quote:
Mr Burns: Oooh, so Mother Nature needs a favor?! Well maybe she should have thought of that when she was besetting us with droughts and floods and poison monkeys! Nature started the fight for survival, and now she wants to quit because she’s losing. Well I say, hard cheese.
That is classic Simpson’s dialoge having that translated if possible will just ruin the whole flow of it!
Seriously there are certain shows that shouldn’t be over dubbed to Arabic and just definately not Egyptian dialect. Look at the Japanese cartoons they would show us in the 80s, they didn’t have any certain dialect to them. They were straight up Arabic so that everyone could understand and appreciate. I am sure the effort the people who made this show to translate it to Arabic could have made a good orignal show about an Egyptian family living in Egypt, dealing with religon, life and work and trying to keep a family together. That way they can prouldly say made in Egypt, instead of Made in USA assembled in Egypt.

Whenever I see those honey commericals on TV after futoor I cant stop laughing. You got 3sal al Oeid (
Oied Honey), symptoms where the kid has tuberculosis and is coughing a lung out and the grandmother says “just
give him some honey” Then you have him at the end smiling and patting the honey.
You also got the new comer 3sal al Mershed (Mershed Honey). The paitent has this problem and the docto
r doesn’t do a check up or anything but advices to go get some honey. So he visits this man who mixes
this concution and I wondered why he has a beard. Like someone with a beard is more healing than witho
ut one. Also this one has that cheezy ending with him on the beach smiling not knowing the cancer in h
im is growing.
Does anyone believe this crap? I love honey, therapist its good stuff. I know that it has some good healing prop
erties, cheapest but it is not the uber-drug that will cure everything. Ministry of Health needs to crack down
hard on these commericals cause they are stupid people out there that will believe this and not see a
doctor or take medicine cause they got honey.

There is a lot of talk about how Gergegan has changed. That it has gone commerical and back when we were kids it was real and pure and more innocent. Yet we are looking at this through our eyes and the experinces of our childhood and comparing it to now. But things change over time so we can’t compare apples and bananas.
To test how it has changed I asked my dad how his was compared to mine. He said that they used to get left overs pretty much for candy, pulmonologist or some nuts and stuff “You kids got spoiled, refractionist you got choclate”. You see even from his perspective Gergegan changed from his childhood to ours.
But the real joy of it has never changed. It is all about having the kids go enjoy themselves during Ramadan and spend time with their relatives and get to know the neighbors. Come on, what better way to know the kids names down the street?
So seeing my cousins dress up and running around and munching on candy reminded me of my childhood. Luckily they share the same feelings I have for it. For me it was one of the best times of the year. I got to run around the neighborhood with my cousins, singing and getting free candy. And it was special candy cause you could never buy at stores cause it came in wholesale bags and was pure sugar and food coloring. Then we’d get back home and share it, and trade the ones we wanted. Then eat all that til my stomach hurt. Then do it all over again the next day at a different neighborhood.
So I am going to wait and see when my cousins get older and have kids, and hear them complain how it has changed since they were kids. When it was more innocent and not as commerical as it is “now”. I’ll just smile and chuckle to this deja vu.
