Somewhere, a dimension or two over, bin Laden sits on a giant pile of sunglass, lighters and pens and ponders his fate… ---

After a few hours of searching the house and calling everyone I could think of, I was starting to get very depressed. So I went to the Kiev and ate breakfast. Then as I walked down Second Avenue towards St. Mark’s place where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street, I saw my Bin Laden lying on a blanket next to a broken toaster oven. 😃 ---

:ZIP: Taliban: He’s not in this stove!! USA: So he’s hidin’ in the stove, eh? Taliban: Look, would I throw a lighted match if my friend Bin Laden was in there? USA: You might, Taliban, you might. ---

That’s priceless. \*\* Not that I want to derail a wonderfully funny thread with an actual point (I don’t really, I was going to post that bin Laden could obviously be found on a blanket on second avenue if k.os hadn’t beaten me to it). But I don’t think it’s priceless. I think it’s obnoxious. Do we really need further conflating of bin Laden, the psychotic terrorist with the thousands of Muslims who live in the country (and who own many convience stores, hence the joke)? No I don’t think we do. Forgive them Apu, for they know not what they do. (OK, I know Apu is Hindu and not Muslim, but my point still stands.) ---

Er, no, sorry, Betenoir, no room for PC in this _particular_ thread. 😉 And I don’t see how anybody could confuse the obvious Bad Guy in the robe and turban behind the register with the Good Guys in shirts and slacks and tasteful haircuts behind registers all across America. ---

Alright Taliban, that’s the third Bin Laden you’ve lost this month! If you aren’t even going to TRY to keep track of him, I am NOT buying you another one! ---

Does anyone else think it’s suspicious that bin Laden disappears and then the next day the Taliban shows up with a microscooter and a new MP3 player? ---
