Just Call Me Abu Lovitt

Ok, Google, ya might want to work on those targeted ads.

How in Allah's name did this happen? Did someone buy a Koran on my computer when I was in the bathroom?

Hahahaahhahahaha...

how inept is our language at getting across real laughter???

Cause that was the first time I've laughed out loud in DAYS!

Well, it does have a green exclamation point at the end. And if I know you at all (and it's not clear that I do), you do love a good exclamation point.

Well, now that used the word "Allah" in your post I have a feeling that it's going to happen a lot more often.

Dude, same thing has been happening to me for the past few days. Too funny! (Especially considering the topic of my blog - you'd think Google et al would be smarter with the amount of spying they do on us already!!!)

I'm always getting ads for a Muslim dating agency. Apparently, I can meet other Muslim singles, "just like me"!

Benji,

Here's the translation of the ad:

"Would you like to miss the opportunity to work and live in the USA? YES NO"

Maybe they're reading your blog about the trials and tribulations as an oleh!

Damn. I was hoping it was something to do with Abu Gosh chumus.

I definitely love a good exclamation point, BAY-BEE!!!!!

Liza, I had no idea about your alter ego. Are you a moderate Muslim?

lizarosenberg said...

A moderate SINGLE Muslim, apparently.

Last night my friend from workshop ('61 is fun!) who lives around the corner and his wife and I attended a "Kunsitz for Israelis" at Conejo Cbabad...It was suppsosed to be "for Israelis" but turned out to be a bunch of "ai ai ai Elokenu" songs_-But on the way, we talked about Israel (Steve lived there for some years and was in the tzava--lots of stories)..and Abu Ghosh's hummous came up when we talked about Jerusalem...My boss and his son also love it...I never had it--Must do this year!!!

I met Dickie V my senior year of college at a book-signing. I brought my answering machine tape and had him record an outgoing message. Unfortunately we couldn't use it because he went on and on for so long. But I got a great picture out of it.

That's such a good idea, Benji, to get a famous person to do your answering machine thing. You gotta record it on a digital recorder and then play back what you can use...famous people never know when to shut up.

I GOT THE BANNER TODAY! I captured it, and I'm going to post it on my site in a few days linking to you. You're welcome (for the 5 hits, maybe, that you'll get)
