Almost forgot to post this one, heh.

Okay, I was talking last friday about psychological blind spots with a local imam up in Dearborn, and how exploitable they are cause folk who have them often do not realize it.

Now, mind you, this is a guy who's over here cause he cannot stand the radical dickheads over there, and considers himself substantially more enlightened, which I'll give, but I was trying to make him aware he still has a way to go in that respect.

So I told him fine, if he wanted to believe he was above that sort of thing and commit the sin of Pride, I would be quite happy to firmly disabuse him of the notion of his own enlightenment in the time honored tradition of MY distant ancestors - but I'd do him the mercy of using a rubber knife, at least.

Got him, too - Tuesday morning, walked right up to him, right next to him in broad daylight, and shanked him dead to rights on the spot, and he never saw it coming.

Here's YOUR puzzle question.
How did I get him so easily ?

Believe me, he has a lot to think about, I made him keep the rubber knife, too.

"How did I get him so easily ?"

He thought it was rhetorical ?

Sorry about the yogurt, Rue, but I asked for a very specific reason. And I was serious.

(I know - hard to believe, right?) :)

Damn your quick, Mikey.

A Burqa, actually - and he DIDN'T EVEN SEE ME.

Dressed in black, broad freakin daylight, moving towards him, and it was like I DIDN'T EVEN EXIST.

I didn't pull the strike, neither, wanted to leave no doubt whatever in his mind that he'd have been Dead Right There, had that been a Kris instead of a dummy, he *will* have a bruise.

It never, ever, not bloody once entered his consciousness that a man would even *think* of wearing such a thing, cause he still has some gender role and superiority issues he needs to work on, badly.

And now he's got a good damned reason why.

I also pointed out that it *could* have been a woman, an angry woman, and the result would have been much the same because the burqa never registered to him whatever as "person", but object, background, scenery, and continuing to regard women like that is one way to made damned sure that *actually* happens to his ass sooner or later, since this is america, and women don't take too well to being scorned around here.

Then slapped the rubber knife in his hand, and told him to keep it, and make sure he had it with him when he went to meditate on the Sin of Pride, before it kills his stubborn ass.

Like I said, he's got a lot to think about.

I am admittedly curious as hell to see what he does about it, since he hates the fanatics of his homeland with a passion bordering on religious fervor itself, and whether he's wise enough to conquer his prejudices.

Especially since about five minutes after he does imma get a "Holy Shiite" (pun oh so intended) phone call when the lightbulb comes on...

PS - Goddamn them things are stifling, how the HELL do they wear em in the friggin desert, ugggh!
That in and of itself oughta be considered torture, it's just inhumane.

I dunno, I'm picturing a fuzzy weather beaten cyborg with a nice obvious scar or two, mid-height, stocky frame, and definite kill-your-ass musculature, and I'm really not seeing Frem pulling off a floral print.

A bhurka or traditional Imam robes, on the other hand...

EDIT: I meant cyborg in the nicest and whoa holy heck way possible.

Aha, burqa. Yay.

And now I know how to spell burqa.

Hey Frem, I happened to be reading something about the Detroit area a few months ago that I've been meaning to ask you about but kept forgetting. Thought this might be as good a place as any to ask... If not, say so, I'll just remove this.

Detroit is your current hunting grounds, right? Do you know Oakman Boulevard and Woodrow Wilson Avenue? In the literature I was reading, where it said "city beautification," "clean-up," "park," and plans for "affordable housing," does that mean what I think it means?
