Topic title comes from Jeff Dunham's "Achmed the dead terrorist" which I as a muslim find disturbingly funny. Actually Ive been pretty inactive in August because of my religion. I've been fasting, which might mean absolutely nothing to most of you, essentially it means no food or water from sunrise to sunset, my non-muslim friends think I'm crazy for doing it and I understand the opinion but what do YOU think, you taint-brownie-eating non-fasters?

following the tenets of your religion isn't crazy. i am not judging your craziness on any other grounds because that's the basis you set.

meh most people rate that its hard, it actually isnt really, there's probably some mind/matter, subconcious mind thing going on...

or your smart and eat something that will fill you up the entire day (oat type/high fibre cereal)

i only ever made it all the way through yom kippur once, but that's 25 hours. there's a whole mess of other half and whole day fasts. not the funnest time, but definitely doable.

i follow the tenet of "eat all you want, we'll make more"

Good policy. Tenets are always a good thing to follow.

i sense your sarcasm. but i have enough things to make up for already, so i don't see the point on laming out on the easy stuff.

But that's the easiest stuff to lame out on.

Sarcasm? Nah, I'm not religious, and I never had much discipline for it. Doesn't mean I don't respect others who do. I was taking a jab at myself actually.

 

 

SMILE NOW PWEASE!!!

 

now i have a smile before i watch logans run and the 5th element, and a couple of MST3Ks before i pass out.

 

thank you.

 

Question... Joel or Mike?

joel. seriously, is that even a question?

 

and now, really must off, before i profess more love for the humans.

(you're not that mike. that mike's no joel. i could see you being ajoel. or at least a fine bot.)

I do haz a fine butt, thanks fer noticing!

Joel blew... that's why they booted him.

philistine.

 

he quit.

 

mike was a superdork, who grew loveable in the way that dorks will over time.

 

you are simply flinging insults because where you were trained, this is considered appropriate interaction.

 

it has not been appropriate since don rickles passed on.

I think fasting isn't something I'd enjoy, but I think I could manage. The body doesn't need nearly as much food as most people put in it.

 

I've done this thing called 30 Hour Famine before, but you can have limited liquids in that, so it isn't totally fasting.

Do you take everything seriously?

You're Jewish?

^lolz, hide!

that might be my favourite question ever

Well, IIRC, Jewish people are the only ones who celebrate Yom Kippur.
