Soon enough, the pious will shuffle fast after the Taraweeh and run to get to Bab Al-Hara Part III on time. Had the producers of Bab Al Hara known about Nour and Mohanad earlier before the script was written they would've included Mohanad as a visiting Turk who decided to stay at the Hara. It would've been the most significant and ingenious soap opera show to ever grace our screens. Abu Shehab and Mohanad together...

Just imagine all the blotchy husbands this will create.  And which half do you belong to?  :)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Abufares, you posed the following scenario in your last response to me:  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;"Let me be sure I perfectly understand you. Women want a man who looks like Mohanad so that other women lust after him and so that they can flaunt him around like an expensive car or a diamond ring. They also want this same man to be a responsible father/husband and a house-broken pet... while, and at the same time, he should be a successful and rich man, who makes plenty of money and can afford, for his wife and family a lifestyle previously reserved for movie stars. In short, women want a Tashtoush Stud inside the house and a Eunuch Superman outside."&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The short answer is: YES, and duh!  (apart from the "tashtoush" part which I didn't get).&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Furthermore, isn't that exactly the counter wish-list of what most men want?  Ask anyone in the region on the hunt for a bride: they actually have these ridiculous demands.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26866567/5886013154782722214/comments/default/6640553739999208457'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26866567/5886013154782722214/comments/default/6640553739999208457'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.abufares.net/2008/07/mid-summer-blues.html?showComment=1217001000000#c6640553739999208457' title=''/><author><name>Rime</name><uri>http://www.rimeallaf.com/mosaics/index.php</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.abufares.net/2008/07/mid-summer-blues.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-5886013154782722214' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26866567/posts/default/5886013154782722214' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-1905001005068748899</id><published>2008-07-25T18:22:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2008-07-25T18:22:00.000+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Got to your blog via another.

I guess, I have to remember that you ARE  human-male after all. I always think of you as being above that criterion.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Am I being too hard on you? NO. You have always talked about women and how much you admire them phisically and psicologically. I would think with their little imperfections and all. Are you just having fun being that you felt blotchy at the time???&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Excuse me, maybe I'm feeling blotchy too!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Take care and keep well.
