Random Rants XLVIII: Worst. Thread Title. Ever!

[Arakhor]

It started on 9th July and lasts for one lunar month.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

The start date of course differs from year to year, since it it determined by a lunar calender that has no mechanism for stay synchronized with the solar year.

 

[Arakhor]

Of course, yes. Not that you would know this, but I did stay at university with three Indians, a Kashmiri and a Pakistani.

 

[madviking]

Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke

 

[Arakhor]

The joke was that, even spitting distance from a quaint Welsh village, I was the only white person, let alone European, in that particular five-room hall.

 

[choxorn]

I count 6 people.

 

[NovaKart]

Yes the stores are closed for Ramadan. Got about another week to go.

If the Welsh are involved that makes the joke even better!

Three Indians, a Pakistani, a Kashmiri, and a bunch of Welshmen walk into a bar...

 

[Arakhor]

I count 6 people.

So you do. The Pakistani lived upstairs in a different five-man hall.

If the Welsh are involved that makes the joke even better!

Three Indians, a Pakistani, a Kashmiri, and a bunch of Welshmen walk into a bar...

Don't forget the milk-white Englishman who doesn't even drink. Quite why he's going into the bar in the first place is another joke.

 

[Takhisis]

Stupid series, Mad Men interefering with my Sopranos. Cinemax should get their priorities in order, and relegate MM to the cesspit in which it belongs.

 

[Rashiminos]

Where in the cesspit in relation to the infanticide associated with "baby farming" would that be?

Spoiler :

Edit: 76 counts, 3 years.

 

[NovaKart]

Wow, I thought I was the only person in the world who didn't like mad men.

 

[SouthernKing]

Of course, yes. Not that you would know this, but I did stay at university with three Indians, a Kashmiri and a Pakistani.

"Kashmiri"?

 

[ReindeerThistle]

Wow, I thought I was the only person in the world who didn't like mad men.

Representin'

Sent via mobile; apologies for my ten years of second hand smoke... only time being a quitter was a good thing...

 

[Arakhor]

"Kashmiri"?

He came from Kashmir. It saves me having to make a value judgement about which country is claiming it these days.

 

[Rashiminos]

Post count nuked from orbit.

 

[Synobun]

On one hand, I'm really happy that I dropped out of an unpaid internship a couple months ago, but on the other hand, I'm really bummed out about how that meant I would lose important portfolio and exposure for my writing. I don't regret the decision, but when I'm so desperately trying to build up my portfolio it sometimes makes me a little sad to know that if I had not been so adamant on being paid or at least acquire some type of compensation besides an author by-line, I could have had over 20 published articles in a magazine by now instead of a measly 4.

Ah well.

Keep lookin' and keep writin'. I know an artist who took the time to hone his craft and while he was hungry for ten year, ten year later he is never without a paid commission.

 

[Cutlass]

Wow, I thought I was the only person in the world who didn't like mad men.

I watched the first season, and was too bored to watch any more of it.

 

[NovaKart]

Good Lord, I felt the same way. I watched the whole first season episode by episode waiting desperately for something to happen.
