In homor of Ramadan 2009

[Boneman]

The big Muslim holy month of Ramadan started a few weeks ago, so in honor of that, I'd like to recycle my favorite top 10 list from a few years ago (with minor revisions).

Top 10 Things Overheard at the Ramadan 500

10 "I didn't know camels could run that fast!"
9 "I hear the winner gets 72 virgins."
8 "The pole sitter jumped the start and must be executed."
7 "The hot dogs all have fuses!"
6 "Yes, I spun the leader. It was Allah's will."
5 "Damn, the Camel Of Tomorrow sux!"
4 "Look, Ali has a carbon fiber turban."
3 "The grand marshall just blew himself up!"
2 "These speedway prayer mats hurt my knees."
1 "Wow! The trophy girl looks hot in that checkered burka!"

1 "Wow! The trophy girl looks hot in that checkered burka!"

muslim trophy girls? aren't they like 6 years old or something? certainly, no older than 10. they get wrinkly and start sagging.

[john tenney]

This is pretty sick. My daughter is 8 years old. I would have killed Muhammed or died trying ...

Aisha stayed in her parents' home for several years until she joined Muhammad and the marriage was consummated.[1][3][4][5][6][7] Most of the sources indicate that she was nine years old at the time, with the single exception of al-Tabari, who records that she was ten.[3] The marriage was delayed until after the Hijra, or migration to Medina, in 622; Aisha and her older sister Asma bint Abi Bakr only moved to Medina after Muhammad had already migrated there. After this, the wedding was celebrated very simply. The sources do not offer much more information about Aisha's childhood years, but mention that after the wedding, she continued to play with her toys, and that Muhammad entered into the spirit of these games.[8]

Whats that quote taken from John ? Sadly that sort of occurance goes on world wide every day , and certainly in some parts of America . You know , if you change the names , you have the Jerry Lee Lewis story .

[Todd McCreary]

Whats that quote taken from John ?

perhaps you'd like to address the factuality of the statement rather than trying to slime the "source"? that is the very definition of "ad hominem", you know.

perhaps you engage in these childish tactics because the facts aren't debatable? even Muslims don't bother trying to deny it. they just try to throw a whole bunch of crap against the wall and hope you lose track of what's going on.

Like Washington is!

Eloquent as always Todd ,not to mention intentionally obtuse . I thought it was a pretty simple question , i just asked John what he was quoting since i didn't recognize it . I thank you for your bobby diehl like answer , but like bobby , it was mostly gibberish .
Since John didn't include a reference , i can't imagine how anyone could argue about the factuality of the piece . No wait ... i know someone who wouldn't let that get in the way of bloviating .

[john tenney]

The quote is from Todd's link. The wikipedia page he linked in his post.

AJ you started out being a decent human being until your last post, and then you blew it again. Come on ...

[Rusty the 50/50 Guy]

WOW!!! Sounds like we need a racing fix!

[derf]

racing fix? go carts! rain or shine it doesn't matter.for ramadan 500 everyone has to wear a turban.

[Todd McCreary]

Like Washington is!

i'll 2nd ( amendment ) that motion, George.




I thought it was a pretty simple question

which no one else had any problems figuring out.

i'll grant you, i hadn't considered who i was dealing with here. i figured you were off on another one of your anti-wikipedia rants.

who knew you couldn't be bothered to read this far?:

[AJ14]

I obviously hurt your feelings Todd . If its mandatory to read the " facts " you post , then i'll try harder not to overlook them . And don't look for Wikepedia bashing here , no sir , everyone ... well almost everyone , knows what Wikepedia is and what its for .

[Osmosis Jones]

I'm gonna buy a freakin' pacifier for both of you....

This is exactly the reason I am so effing AGAINST arguing stupid political crap and religious opinion on a RACING message board.

YOU GUYS ARE ACTING LIKE A COUPLE OF DIAPER WEARIN', ENCYCLOPEDIA TOTIN', GIRLY-SLAPPIN' SPOILED LITTLE BRATS!!!!


I can't believe I came back for this.

This "wiki" based cat-fight gets more and more annoying every day and, truthfully, I'm getting pretty sick of it. I imagine a lot of others are too. You both are very educated and have a great passion for wanting to debate the policies and agendas of our ruling classes. WE GET IT!

So you don't agree with each others personal, bullshit, political ideologies.
Who effing cares? Agree to disagree already, wiil ya? Move the f*&$ on!

Todd...I know there's been some rainouts and it's getting boring on Friday nights in Orlando but there is still plenty of racing related crap to stir up. You know I love a good argument....but here on a racing site, I expect it to be about racing somehow. Not which Muslim raghead is banging what underaged girl this week. I'm sure when Rex started this thread, it was for the funny and not the poop slingin' it evolved in to.

AJ....there are surely others on here that support your defense of Obama and actually applaud your efforts. Fortunately, for them, they have been smart enough to keep their "fingers" shut. I don't blame them. It's much easier to bash than to support someone or their views on an internet message board, you know this. There's a line from a movie (about a President, ironically) "They're trying to get us to swing at a pitch in the dirt." If you want a pointless debate to end, stop responding to dead end topics. They usually die a quick death.

You guys are a helluva conundrum. You are so much alike that you can't stand each other despite the fact that (I think) you've never even met. It's like two rednecks that both love the sport of auto racing but will fight in the parking lot over which limp-wristed, NASCRAP poster boy is the best.

It's just plain stupid.

And you're both way too smart for that.


Ya'll aren't the only ones doing this, I know, but you two (with help from John Tenney) are the ones who invaded an otherwise fun thread and destroyed the humor in it.

And THAT....I can't stand for.

I like you both (in the most hetero and non-gay way a man can assert himself) and enjoy the racing insights that you both can and do offer up. Find a way, PLEASE, to get back to debating racing oriented topics and drop the senseless crap.

I couldn't agree more .
