N0 animals were hurt in the making of this photo-collage.
Omar Offendum of the N.O.M.A.D.S. put together this photographic homage to the great Israeli (syke!) dessert dish known as Kunafa, while paying tribute to the silliness of me hopped up on it. The sweet dish is famously made best in Nablus, which is why Detroit's Masri Sweets has the best Kunafa in the States. The family that owns the shop is from Nablus.
A group of us, including former (Badr), prolific (Fayyad) and soon-to-be-prolific-again (Nabeel) KABOBers, had a nice Sunday lunch at Goood Frikin' Chicken, an incredibly good Levantine Arabic chicken place in San Francisco's Mission district. Omar snapped away while I ate like I was pregnant.
If you go to GFC, tell Suzy I sent you. Maybe I can get a free plate of mensef there (yes they have it, and Fayyad scarfed one heaping plate full down before I could say "sahtein").
Looking at Omar's pics above, can you taste the honey sauce?

What an impressive set of bottom teeth you have, Will!
By the way, I paid for that massage, but it was only a massage, I recieved no sexual favors or drugs from Will. Though apparently it was a buy-one-massage-get-11-for-free type weekend.
Oh, and that Good Frikin Chicken had some good frikin' mansaf. And that Knafeh was so frikin' good, I did not have knafeh that good since the KABOBcrew ran Al Masri out of Knafeh in Dearborn a month ago.
Life is good...
Lifes great for homos and transvestites like Fayyad and Will
so, were any animals hurt in the making of Fayyad's mansaf?
أنا أكره هذا الموقع. انتم جميعا منحازه ضد اسرائيل
Anon 8.47, not hurt, but you can say painlessly sacrificed for the greater good.
Anon 8.03, Will and I are not homosexual, but we were in San Francisco, and when in Rome...
ايقاف اداري فانت بالتأكيد مثلي الجنس
Anon 8:03,
A side question: If I were a homo and a transvestite at the same time, would I still be straight? Because if I were a transvestite, I'd pose as a women. If I were a homo, I'd want someone of the same sex. Therefore, I'd want a woman.
I actually don't care about being called a homo or a transvestite -- other than the obvious bigotry behind it.
I just don't see anything inherently demeaning about those lifestyles/orientations.
If you really want to get at me and Fayyad, call us Zionists. Now, that would insult our intelligence and moral fiber at once!
Will
Your caste is displeasing in appearance and low in thought
The knafeh looks delicious!
Btw, I think anon 9:05 & 9:56 is using Google tranlsate and he/she is failing miserably! Your Arabic doesn't make sense buddy :)
My wife makes a good kunafa, but I like jubnieh more.
بلادي العربية يجعل الشعور بالكمال. اذا لا ينبغي لكم ان اللgoogle
I wish there was a picture of Will eyeballing my kufta plate the whole meal.
BTW...If you were a transvestite and were still attracted to women, you would still be straight (assuming you are currently sr8). Since, a transvestite is someone who lives as one gender and role plays or dresses up in another.
However, If you were a male to female transexual and were attracted to women, then you would be considered a lesbian. Since, a transexual is defined as one who re-aligns their gender, whereas a transvestite temporarily re-aligns there gender.
But then again, why even talk about something like gender; which doesn't even really exist.
I agree, Nabeel. "Gender" is a social construct which denies me the right to walk around the beach topless simply because my "sex" may (or may not) be different from Will's.
It's unnatural and I resent it because it's leading to unsightly tan lines.
Unfortunately your intelligence is undetectable but your sexuality is evident and experienced. Women designate your ambiguous genitalia as a hermaphrodite. You are a sequential hermaphrodite. Are you a Protandry or Protogyny?
Jena, I’m so glad you brought that up! Particularly because Nabeel’s latest post included a semicolon -- which I was going to point out but I figured that what Nabeel does in the bedroom is his own business.
Confused? Good.
See, I was reading Kurt Vonnegut’s (RIP) latest book, where he makes a plea against using the semicolon. He calls them, “transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing.”
This differs only marginally from the “homo transvestite” phenomena, which Anon 8:03 seems to be equating to also mean “self-hating homo” – an unfair attempt to strip Will of his credibility.
"Homo of Conscience" is the more appropriate term.
As with Anon 8:03, I think Nabeel would take issue with Vonnegut, seeing that he has a thing for the transvestite hermaphrodite (see: Nabeel 11:01 am, last line). I’d be inclined to agree with Nabeel, and not only because I have been known to have had relations with plenty of transvestite hermaphrodites in my day (see: Master’s thesis, pages 7, 18, 24, 25, 26, 52, 69, 73, 72, and 102), but also because Vonnegut’s reasoning is flawed:
1) Hermaphrodites can't be transvestites. From what would they be transvesting into?
2) While transvestite hermaphrodites represent nothing, they can also represent everything! It's a dialectical identity of sorts.
I’m not sure Vonnegut thought this through, but he does make up for this oversight a few pages later by explaining that the reason why Bush hates Arabs so much is because they're the ones who invented algebra.
I think Jena 12:29 might agree.
I love that Vonnegut line about semicolons. I think it's from Time Quake. Maybe he felt it was such a funny line that he used it more than once.
QuiQui, since you are the only Latina/Raza/Chicana/Hispanic member of KABOBfest (aka CHORIfest), since I stopped being a cholo, you may be able to answer this question (not sure if I'm using the colon properly here): Is there an upside-down semicolon in Spanish?
There are, indeed, upside-down semicolons in Spanish, Nabeel!
You can find them in all of the Spanish-speaking countries south of the equator.
Welcoming quiqui new KABOBFEST harems sick latino cunt
NY
Hmmmmm... it took me some time, but what I think what avika's trying to tell us is:
Welcoming quiqui; new KABOBFEST harems; sick latino cunt.
Thanks, avika! ;-)
quiqui
Correct it slave! you're only worth a semicolon. You slow turd...
Latinos are inferior. Arabs are inferior. Oh, Arabs go with latinos to feel superior because others eliminate and reject them.
I propose that the next KABOBfest get together be at a topless beach... where NONE of us have to be restricted by our socially constructed genders...
Not even Quiqui...
!!!!YES!!!!
ps - I wanna be that tomato in your mouth.
I happen to like semi-colons; they are shades of gray in our reality of incoherence. The only period in life is death. The only commas is a moment of hesitation. A colon starts a list, quantify or qualify formally. A semi-colon lets me add to a continuous thought without the artificial truncation of a period.
Cute Nadeem. You are the tomato in my mouth.
Will
Why don't you just marry a frikin' semi;colon then...
Can we go back to talking about topless beaches now.
This is the epitome of haki faudi.
Hey, this is my first time in this blog... I like what you're doing and how you are trying to clarify the real nature of the struggle in Palestine, and the Middle East in general...
But why calling Knafeh an "Israeli dessert"? As far as I know, Nablus is not originally a Jewish city... This makes Knafeh a Palestinian dessert, right?
This came to me as a contradiction, since you claim to be seekers of righteousness...
I know it might seems a small detail, but still, Kunafeh is big stuff :D
