Sex and the Stingray....!!!

of sex and other issues....

Every day I get hundreds of E-mails about gadgets, toys, equipments, enhancers, enlargers, enforcers, beholders, upholders,improvers, inducers, indulgers, psudopores, artilators,fagobusters, lacers, hornicups, dildos, cliphornias, gigandolls, lollipop condoms, fuckfish fetish, puffbabes, surrynami fuck dolls, voodoo pleasure dolls, Iranian sex marble rings, and jegilion other products that causing me my hair just from thinking how do they function and on whom.....?!?!

which remind me by the way... of our current subject...

WE NEED COMMENTS ON WHAT YOU READ PEOPLE....!!!
just kidding, actually we really really need to know that there are people who do actually read what we post...

now for the Erotic part...

I don't know how that happened, but there is a big gap between the Andalusian era of Islamic civilization and the 1800 of the Arab nations...
I think that every one has a good pic of what it was like at that time: every one is clean,cozy, polite, humble, lots of legal sex in the city, gardens all over the place science was the language and of course arts....and we tag in the rival: dirt and sand every where, every one is poor, miserable life, no money no Honey, nobody can read; how could they they don't have money to buy paper... so how did that happen, every one knows that when a era of a nation ends it doesn't go backward, it simply slow it's pace or actually can't follow the other nations, but why that didn't happen to our case, why we became Bedouins and camel fuckers (I don't know from where did they brought it but no one not even camels dig this thing).....?!?!

some people still think these times were the best....?!?!
and get that straight if you are one of those people....

whats lovely or fine is it in riding small boat full of horny horny horny grumpy men, and sail to shallow sea for 4 months without getting laid, dive in shark infested area just to pick up oysters (not to be used as food, but to play a gamble game called "Find the fucking DANNA") and if u succeed in avoiding stupid shark(Yar'yoor) taste bite (usually in a crucial fatal area),you have to take care and watch your back cause in the sea you are in a PRISON where fucking your ass is the goal of every "seaman", and don't tell me that you start your career by becoming a "El'Seeb" السـيب cause that mean that you're thee Geisha of the ship were you'll be firstly introduced to the "Nokhetha" or captain of the ship, and this guy make Bueno excellentee* (of Hitman comics) look like a school girl eyeing boys in the hood....!!!

you see this guy will be a horny midget(some say tall) fat bastard that don't lack hair nor pimples and has eccentric scenes of nature inside the tent that we call "Wo'zaar"....and in the case that Nokhetha is straight (every one in Kuwait is straight but have tetrasexual desires) nobody fucks nobody until the situation were masturbation would be on public view, and the shark feed on seamen rather that seamen and fish....!!!

in that case a scape goat would be available(just kidding although I met some goat fuckers), this goat is the Stingray, the stingray fish is called "Lokh'ma" no need to describe it (I'm getting sick... have to rap it up quickly) is seduced by the seamen to come aboard, but on refusal some stick and angry horny seaman would do the job of escorting the bride of the "Boom" (name of the ship type)....!!!
so why did they choose the poor stingray(female of course ) to do this type of indulgence.....?!?!

well some sick bastards once told me that the vagina of that fish is identical to a woman's (please don't try this at home or in public it's not like the sick dude in American Pie), and for that fact seaman have their way with the fish...

the bride well go to the Nokhetha to please him first (u don't want a loony horny sick nokhy on your back... do u....!!!), then going downward according to rank and age and hornistic levels.....!!!

in the end what do u expect of a generation raised by stingray fuckers.....?!?!(that was quick)

enough said....

*Bueno excelentee is a super hero with supreme pervertism as his power....!!!

المرحاض الافرنجى في مواجهة النظرية الداروينية عند العرب

(نشرت سنة 1998)

يقول السير داروين "ليس هناك انسان لم تواجهه مشكلة الحصار الفكرى من انقباض للعضلات حتى البحث عن الحمامات"..... ولأهمية المرحاض الافرنجي فقد اصبح من اهم نجوم هوليود وذلك بظهوره في اكثر من فلم، ولعل الكثيرين منا يذكر ماتركس والهوشة في الحمام وانكسار المرحاض على رأس البطل وربما كان النصيب الأوفر في الظهور كان في سلسلة أفلام scary movie الساخرة الفكاهية وربما هذا ما يدعوا للغيضة والغضب في الشارع العربي بسبب تهميش مشاركة الحمامات العربية وعدم اعطائها الصورة الصحيحة او الزخم الاعلامي المطلوب او المتوقع.....؟!؟!؟

يعود السيد داورن في بحثه عن الفرق بين الحمار والغزال للحديث عن كيفية تبرز تلك الحيوانات ، وهذا ما يدعوا للتعجب ان تلك الحيوانات تستخدم الغاز الطبيعي في انتشار وتكثير طبقة الأوزون مما يؤدي الى كثرة استخدام الاسبرين والبندول مع دواء الكحة خصوصا في الكويت وضواحيها.....؟!؟!؟

المرحاض هذا الاسم الذي نعشقه منذ الطفولة عندما يقف الطفل وهو يتبول مضطجعا على قفاه و يرش حاضنته بوابل فيّاض من الزلال و البول الحار ثم يتطور فيما بعد ليتبرز السيريلاك في حفاظته البمبرز و يدوخ اهله السبع دوخات و هم يحاولون معرفة مصدر رائحة القط الميت المنبعثة في ارجاء المنزل، ثم تكون اللحظة الحاسمة عندما يزيد فائض التصدير عن الحافضته لينعم امه و ابوه بزخات ندية و قطرات مهيجة من الاسهال الممزوج باليقط و الحب الذي اجترعه من دون علم اهله و هنا فقط هنا يكسر ابوه الحاسبة على ظهر هذا الطفل البائس لأنه معدل استهلاكه للبمبرز يتناسب طرديا مع معدل اجتراعه و انفجاعه للهم كل ماهو جامد حار كان او ساخنا معفن او مطبوخ صالح للاستخدام الآدمي او للاستخدام الوحشني ، عندها يدخل الاهل مفهوما جديدا للطفل بتعليمه استخدام حفاظة اكبر اسمها المرحاض، لكن هذا المرحاض غير عملي كالبمبرز فهو لا يستطيع حمله معه اينما ذهب كما ان المرحاض لا يمكن التخلص منه بنفس سهولة البمبرز و هنا يبدا الطفل تعلم المهارات الخرائية واقفا لتأتي المرحلة التالية في تعلمه على الجلوس و الخراء مستلقيا و انتظار الطق و الطراقات من الاهل لأنه يزق على روحه بعد سنين و بنين من الطراقات و التعليم باستخدام مبدأ الحمار ما يفهم من التكرار الا مع الطق و هنا فقد هنا همًا فان الطفل يبدء لا اراديا بتعلم التخرية على الارض باستخدام تقنية "المبوبز"....؟!؟!؟

عندما يتساءل البعض عن مصدر كلمة مرحاض فالاصل هو عربي بحت وهي من المر ( القاسي أو القهوة بسبب لون الفضلة) والحاض (وهي اختصار لكلمة حائض) اي الحيض القاسي كما ان بعض الفقهاء ارجعوها لكلمة مرحبا او التحية....؟!؟!؟

ختاما نجد ان في تطور الانسان حسب نظرية دارون إنه كان يحتاج الى مكان بعيد لقضاء حاجته لأن الكهف ريحته خرى و بول و العموم يخري بمكانه فاصبحت رائحة الجميع خرى و بول مما ساعد على طرد الحيوانات الاليفة و المتوحشة و الى انقراض الدينصورات وبعد تفكير منه وجد ان يقرب هذا المكان من الربادة وان يحفر حفرة في القرب من منزله مما أدى الى ظهور الحمامات العربية البسيطة (يعني الحمام العربي مو حمام عربي بالاصل بس لأنهم يسبونا العنقريز قالوا عربي و احنا طبعا مستانسين) ثم تعبت عضلات رجله ففكر ان يرفع مقامات تلك الحفرة ليصنع منها كرسيا للراحة الا انه وقف مصدوما في كيفية تسليك مصروفاته من مكانه المفضل فصنع كرسي التنظيف المجاور للمرحاض ولتنظيف يديه يحتاج الى (انتوا عارفين)المغسلة و بعد ان قام بذلك فكر في ان يضيف بعضا من وسائل الرفاهية فنتج عن ذلك اكتشاف النار الي تم استخدامها في البداية لحرق الخرى و البراز ذو الرائحة الخصبة و لما تم استيعاب ان الخرى قد تيبس و اصبح صلبا استخدمه لبناء اول طوفة في العالم لحجب الاعين عن ما يدور من طقوس و طعوس على المرحاض.....؟!؟!؟!؟

=============================

و في الختام اتمنى ان نسمع قريبا اخبارا عن وحش البلوقات و قاهر الحمامات السيد المعصوم ابو حفص ملاس الدودكي حفظه الله و رعاه

دعواتكم يا أهل الخير.....؟!؟!؟

Kisses, Becky.


The soldier, feeling offended and hurt, asks his friends in the army to all lend him as many pictures they have of girlfriends, mothers, sisters, female cousins, etc... He gathers 57 pictures which he places in an envelope and writes the following note:

Dear Becky,
I am sorry but I could not remember who exactly you are. So could you please be an angel and pick up your picture from among the rest and send them back to me?!
Good luck, Ricky.

The Raven, an Appreciation...

Caught from some unhappy master

whom unmerciful Disaster

Followed fast and followed faster

till his songs one burden bore--

Till the dirges of his Hope

that melancholy burden bore

Of "never--never more!"

Watching the halloween episode of the Simpsons introduced me to this captivating writer...

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849).

Born in poverty at Boston, January 19 1809, dying under painful circumstances at Baltimore, October 7, 1849, his whole literary career of scarcely fifteen years a pitiful struggle for meresubsistence, his memory malignantly misrepresented by his earliest biographer, Griswold, how completely has truth at last routed falsehood and how magnificently has Poe come into his own, For "TheRaven", first published in 1845, and within a few months, read, recited and parodied wherever the English language was spoken, the half-starved poet received $10....!!! Less than a year later his brother poet, N. P. Willis, issued this touching appeal to the admirers of genius on behalf of the neglected author, his dying wife and her devoted mother, then living under very straitened circumstances in a little cottage at Fordham, N. Y.:

"Here is one of the finest scholars, one of the most original men of genius, and one of the most industrious of the literary profession of our country, whose temporary suspension of labor, from bodily illness, drops him immediately to a level with the common objects of public charity. There is no intermediate stopping-place, norespectful shelter, where, with the delicacy due to genius and culture, be might secure aid, till, with returning health, he would resume his labors, and his unmortified sense of independence."

known for his anigmatic horror stories and poems, Poe established the foundation for horror/science fiction genre in the history of literature...

I consider "the Raven" to be one of the greatest poems in the American literature, and it's hard not to agree with that....!!!

in here I quickly formulated a short trivia about the man behind the Raven....

hope u enjoy it, I know I will........

The Raven


Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
Only this, and nothing more."

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow- sorrow for the lost Lenore-
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
Nameless here for evermore.

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
"'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door-
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;-
This it is, and nothing more."

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you"- here I opened wide the door;-
Darkness there, and nothing more.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering,
fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"-
Merely this, and nothing more.

Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
"Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice:
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore-
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; -
'Tis the wind and nothing more."

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and
Flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed
He;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door-
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door-
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no
Craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore-
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

Much I marveled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning- little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber door-
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as "Nevermore."

But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered- not a feather then he fluttered-
Till I scarcely more than muttered, "other friends have flown
before-
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before."
Then the bird said, "Nevermore."

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
"Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one-burden bore-
Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore
Of 'Never- nevermore'."

But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and
Door;
Then upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore-
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking "Nevermore."

This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamplight gloated o'er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamplight gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore!

Then methought the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor.
"Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee- by these angels he
Hath sent thee
Respite- respite and nepenthe, from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! - Prophet still, if bird or
Devil! -
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted-
On this home by horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore-
Is there- is there balm in Gilead? - Tell me- tell me, I implore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil- prophet still, if bird or
Devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us- by that God we both adore-
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

"Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend," I shrieked,
Upstarting-
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! - Quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my
Door!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the
Floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted- nevermore!
