Kidnapped Employees Returned Home

2007-06-24T12:22:00.050+03:00

4 of our employees were kidnapped by armed gunmen since June 1st, 2007 from an African country. They have finally been released unharmed yesterday (June 23rd) to the relief of their families and the rest of us. Not that I know them, but I'm glad they're safe and sound. Since we work in the same company, it sort of gives everyone else the jitters sometimes.Nobody is sure if Big Blue ever paid any

Sniff, Snort...Bloody Nose.

From the Daily Star:KUWAIT: Dubai Airport security forces have arrested a Kuwaiti TV presenter for being in possession of drugs.The presenter was apparently body searched upon his arrival in Dubai from Kuwait, with the narcotics being found in his possession.He is said to be still in custody pending further investigations before being taken to court for trial.He will be back in Kuwait in no time

Salman Rushdie vs. The Islamic World

2007-06-20T13:32:00.042+03:00

Satanic Verses started it all. It was published in 1988 and violent protests against it's publication occurred. I read that book, heck..I even own it. I admit it's one hell of a good read. Salman is an excellent writer and my personal favorite is The Moor's Last Sigh.And yes, I bought this book off of Amazon and had it delivered to me in Kuwait. Along with the Kama Sutra and several other BANNED

Royal Homocide in Qatar

2007-06-18T09:32:00.021+03:00

A mother of 9 from the Al-Thani royal family in Qatar gave birth yesterday in an unnamed hospital. After delivery, the husband (not from the royal family) walked in on her and shot her twice, killing her.Initially it was rumored he shot her because the baby wasn't his. But in the police report, it indicated that he has asked her to borrow money from her family and she refused. So he shot

Now she can't say, "Marry me I want to have your kittens! Bwahaha! Damn that hurt."I wonder what would happen if they start a neutering campaign for humans in China & India? Or should they spay? Depends on who 'needs' it more, eh?I say we should chlorinate the human gene pool, starting with Kuwait.Another one of my wacked posts.

Attention Wakeboarders!

2007-06-10T12:14:00.021+03:00

For all the wakeboarders in Kuwait, I'm putting together a team to give wakeboarding lessons & in the future to participate in competitions. If you're interested in helping out, then I'd appreciate it if you can email me your info: burqiyou@gmail.com (or comment here if you're too damn lazy).Anyhow, what we're looking for is a boat that already has an overhead pylon, or an underwater gear

From the Arab Times: Police dog found dead in 'residential suburb'

2007-06-10T08:41:00.021+03:00

I gotta admit: I'm impressed. PAWS sure really know how to get things done, not now, not tomorrow...no..yesterday. After a series of emails & phone calls with quite a sweet person, they have published the article as promised.It's not about being in the papers, it's about waking them up. I wish we had the cartoonish newspapers in which you open, and a huge mouth pops out and screams the headlines

Update II: Dead Police Dog

2007-06-09T13:18:00.019+03:00

I decided to pursue the mystery of the dead German Shepherd found outside my building. On my lunch break I went to the nearby Guard & Tracking Dogs Dept. for the Ministry of Interior.Nice place I admit, very neat & very quiet. No telltale smell of any animals. The officer who greeted me at the gate was very polite & courteous. I simply said hello & wanted to talk to his superior, or whoever is

Dead Police Officer Found in Sabah Al-Salem

2007-06-09T08:35:00.006+03:00

So this is what they do to fellow officers?I found this body right outside my building when I looked out the balcony. After calling 777 and reporting it, they asked me to call the appropriate department. Of course, nothing was done about it. So much for our Ministry of InFerior.There were no signs of physical harm done to it. Nor were there any signs of torture (ask CSI:Kuwait). mo 7aram? :(

UPDATE: Pet Food Recall

2007-05-19T08:52:00.021+03:00

In my previous post, I mentioned that a recall for tainted pet food has been going on for a couple of months.I provided a list of tainted foods for all to see and to make sure that their pet food is alright.Now the list has been expanded to include MORE foods which contain the tainted vegetable proteins and/or wheat gluten.Please see the FDA's website for more information.

Complete Failures: Higher Council for the Disabled in Kuwait

2007-05-13T15:09:00.000+03:00

Why is it when an institution created to help people, are always failures in every aspect?First of all, they are the most disorganized and have no respect at all for anyone: handicapped and not handicapped alike!When a person goes to inquire about something or other, they give answers that have nothing to do with the question asked.Take me for example: I went almost 7 months ago to apply for a

Have A Pet? Watch What It Eats: It's Getting Worse

2007-05-05T08:32:00.000+03:00

I'm not sure if you read the news about the pet food recall going on in the U.S.Well I say you should be worried if you own a cat and/or a dog, we use the same foods sold in the U.S.Some pet foods were found to have a certain chemical called melamine which caused the death of several cats and dogs. So if you really care about your pet, check here to see if the food you bought is on the recall

Thanks to a friend who gave me the heads up.Just to clear a few things up, I'd like to make a statement:First of all, this is a blog. A blog is meant to share information, views, personal opinions.

April 1st: Overkill

2007-04-01T17:51:00.000+03:00

There are pranks and there are pranks. Only the gullible fall for them.Kuwait Times' article about legalized alcohol in Kuwait was such a pathetic attempt. Yet I'm pretty sure many people fell for it. That is what I call overkill.Personally, I'm glad alcohol isn't allowed in this country. What with the morons on the streets and the idiots 'gezzing' at the malls, all hell will break loose if you

Only to find out that you can only read, but cannot write (copy) files into it.Well I never really had a need for that until my colleague and several others started complaining about it.

I know, curiosity killed the cat and all that bullshit.My 1st reaction when reading this was "HOLY SHIT?! THEY GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!"Seriously, us GCC Citizens are suckers when it comes to vanity.

2007-03-16T22:01:00.000+03:00

According to the papers, Kuwait is looking for alternative ways to provide electricity. And of course we are looking to build nuke power plants.Surprisingly, Kuwait is on the market to build those massive LNGs (Liquified Natural Gas) plants. Now you know how much THOSE cost?My wife asked me a good question regarding this bit of news, "Can Kuwait afford to build nuclear plants and LNG refineries?"

Things to do in the house before the wife comes back from her trip:1- Clear the beer bottles. You'll have enough to recycle to make a millionaire out of yourself.2- Vacuum every nook and cranny of the house. Especially between the seats of the sofa. To leave no evidence of weed, hash, party confetti and etc.3- Wash YOUR dirty laundry. Burn the girlfriend's forgotten undies in some remote deserted

I'm sure the database has thousands of them. Ok. Fine.Now my question is: Why the hell do you overplay the same songs over and over again? Seriously, did the station run out of songs or what?

He wasn't hurt though, just shaken.Laptop battery explosions aren't a myth everyone. These things really happen & I finally had a camera handy to take pics to prove it.If you have a Dell laptop, click here to

Professing his love and dedication, to the very moon. Goddess of the night skies. Goddess of his heart.The lone wolf, singing his mournful song. Rests on a bed of evergreen leaves. Closing his eyes, he

Bawling out its rage into being yanked out of that protective womb? Raging against the cruelty of being brought out into this cold world, where it will have to live a lifetime of pain?

Ever since picking up the first rag, I've been SO enthralled by your idiotic spelling and grammatical mistakes that makes you SO unique. Is it some sort of marketing strategy?
