I found him!!! He was in my refridgerator all the time! You see, I’d put him back behind the leftovers from my BBQ a couple of months ago and just plain forgot him! So the other day I was getting a cold one out of the fridge and I noticed an odd smell, checking the calender I realized that I was about a year behind on doing my annual fridge clean out, so I decided to clean it out tonight since tomorrow’s trash day. And wouldn’t ya know it? There he was! Of course, he wasn’t looking too good, it seems last years Xmas leftovers had gotten hungry and made a sandwich out bin Laden at some point. He must not have been as tasty as they thought, or perhaps they just weren’t that hungry, as there was about half of him left. So I just chucked him out with the trash and he’s out there in the can by the curb if anyone feels like going after him. ---

Hey, guess what? They found him! No info on where he was, though. It’s probably too embarrassing to admit that he was right where they left him… [http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0109280209sep28.story?coll=chi-news-hed](http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0109280209sep28.story?coll=chi%2Dnews%2Dhed) > [@](#): > > Taliban asks bin Laden to leave > Unwelcome status seen as 1st sign of shift in Afghan leaders’ protection of terror suspect > > September 28, 2001 > > By Tom Hundley, Tribune foreign correspondent. Tribune news services contributed to this report > > ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – In the first indication that its desire to protect Osama bin Laden is weakening, Afghanistan’s Taliban regime said Thursday that it had found the prime suspect in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks against the United States and informed him that he should leave the country. Sheesh, guys–if it had been a snake, it would have bit ya… Next time put your _glasses_ on. 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Delta-9 \* > We don’t tolerate racist jokes about blacks, jews, muslims, etc. Why should the Polish be any different? Because you aren’t going to catch any _real_ shit for being a Pole. In general, that’s the rule: when genuine discrimination (let alone danger) involving that particular group becomes a distant memory, then jokes about it are OK. Until then, no such luck. ---

The important question is not “Are Polish jokes offensive?” The important question is “Are Polish jokes funny after the fourth grade?” And the answer, of course, is no. ---

Did anyone check the medicine cabinet? Sometimes I leave him in there… I really don’t like being without my bin laden for very long. It makes me feel like less of an extremist Muslim faction… ---

Osama is playful and loves to talk! Listen for Osama and you will find. Check VCR for Osama “Blind Date” Video – Osami love UPN. Does Osama seem mournful, missing his cool? Frequently, you must collect set of Bin Ladens for optimal feeding and growth of your Osama. Catch all 41 Bin Laden! If you have found finding Bin Laden easy, try Silver Bin Laden challenge! There may be other boss Osama, now you try! Have you lost Osama, stumped? Osama may be poor, frightened. Pretend to have moneygram from a “Prince Abdullah”, exclaim most loudly! You will be amazed from whence Osama is revealed. ---

Until then, no such luck. \*\* Point taken. You know, if this were a “Post Your Favorite Ethnic Joke Here” thread I wouldn’t have a problem, I suppose. Also, it’s a pretty shitty way to de-lurk, IMO.
