It's how you cook the meat
I think Middle Eastern comedians are the bomb XD
Clari has demanded that I dedicate a blog entry to her so here you go, Clari:
My Ten Most Distinct Memories of You
1. When you were arguing with Annabelle in Sec 4 about the exact location of Nepal in relation to the positioning of China and India, and then we all actually trooped to the library to check it up in an atlas (unfortunately, i can't quite remember whose theory was more accurate).
2. When you tried to freeload off Ming's chicken rice but she ran away from you before you could steal anything.
3. "Dentures, they call them."
4. When Tessa and I resolved to cycle to Nepal one day and you told us you'd take a plane and see us there in 10 years.
5. When we compared people to Pokemon and came up with battle moves like "super roar", "bag thrust", "innuendo blast" and "pervert beam".
6. "DO YOU WANT ME TO PULL OUT YOUR TEETH TOO??"
7. When you first taught me that no, the word "bang" does not simply refer to onomatopoeia.
8. Dude, it's like, a llama.
9. When I got sick during Arabian Nights crewing and you became my inaugural apothecary by dispensing awesome Vicks Vapodrops and the tongue-numbing green Strepsil-like stuff.
10. You're a lumberjack and you're o-kay! :D
Hey There Khalilah
Hey there, Khalilah, what's it like in Baghdad City?
I'm 3,000 miles away but girl tonight you're looking pretty
Can't you see?
You're looking really hot, baby.
Literally.
Hey there, Khalilah, I am at my latest booking
But I'm writing you tonight to say how much I miss your cooking
So I sob.
Wipe all my tears up with a mop.
There's no kabob.
Oh, it's how you cook the meat.
Oh, it's how you cook the meat, how you cook the meat.
Hey there Khalilah, you stay good and cook some coosa
Til I'm back there making money at the Improv in Falluja
Give it time.
I'm bombing really bad this time.
No, not that kind.
Hey there, Khalilah, if I must eat one more Twinkie
Well I might just have to lick my arm and then bite off my pinky
What a scene.
The only Arab food I see's
Attached to me.
Oh, it's how you cook the meat.
Oh, it's how you cook the meat.
3,000 miles is far away, but I just want kabob today
I'd eat it all up with a knife and fork.
Why am I so far from you? All they have here is bar-b-que
Which would be good except I don't eat pork.
The ketchup here is really bad, the mustard's not a deadly gas
The pizza box tastes better, that's for sure
And it's cardboard.
Hey there, Khalilah, you're tahini on falafal
No, you're not sesame paste but girl I just can't eat without you
So you know.
I'll have kabob when I get home.
And chug rose water like a pro
Cuz I do not like Domino's
Oh no I don't.
Oh whoooa, whoooa, whoooa.
