The…woman? not sure what you’re getting at here. The man to her right–he does look a bit like De Niro–is her husband, the man to her left in the uniform is either her brother or her husband’s brother. The baby is the older bomber, the dead one.

Apparently she was fairly blase about religion until she met this Armenian(!) who had converted to Islam. Prior to that she worked as a beautician and was really into fashion and style.

Well he was trying to get at your right frontal lobe, where the humor is supposed to be, but I don’t think he found it.

My humor kicks seven kinds of ass but it won’t stir itself for shit that’s just not that funny.

You seem a little high-strung, man. Really, this whole thread is crazy. I don’t know how anybody could take **Wesley** ’s comment, or most of these comments, seriously enough to get offended by them. Why can’t we just have a normal conversation about whether or not a terrorist’s Mom is hot without getting into all these heavy issues?

I LOLed.

(No, she’s not hot. She might have been beautiful, but life has beaten the shit out of her. Also, she looks scary pissed in one of those photos.)

Uhhhh…are you sure you are responding to the correct post?  
I’m the one who mentioned that she was a babe. WC came in and started lecturing everybody about the US-Devil being rightly hated by Islam…I’m pretty chilled.  
Then, other’s came in with who knows what drivel about burqas, etc…

The only thing I have any kind of issue with is the

1. Clowns who are trying to derail the thread into some other bizarre rants and,

2. The sad, sad, oh! so sad persons who do not see the beauty of my beloved Zubeidat.

She might have been alright back in the 80s/90s.

What I do think, is that her younger son, the one that’s still alive, looks just like Nick Jonas.

No.

But even if she was a clone of Brooklyn Decker, the fact that she is an insane idiot cunt drops her back down to a 0.

He wasn’t lecturing anybody. It was a throwaway comment that followed his own opinion on whether or not she was hot, making it abundantly clear he didn’t feel all that badly about it. Sort of the way some dark-humored folks laugh at something and then say, ‘‘I’m going to hell, aren’t I?’’

Look, I’m not judging you for who you find attractive. You’re talking to a woman who once had a crush on Nicolas Cage. I’m just saying this would be easier if you took these comments with the spirit in which they were intended.

Well, I suspect that your interpretation is wrong, but, I may be mistaken.  
Of course, I understand many forms of humor, including dark, rude, vulgar, dry-wit, etc… and it is even appreciated. By me. Even by those wretches who do not find my fair Zub…never mind. You get the idea.

Like I said, I am pretty chilled, but, I believe that WC was being a bit not-witty, but in the ‘don’t be such a fuck, hh’ camp, and I believe that his response confirms this. I, again, may be wrong.

**Wesley Clark** , I do sincerely apologize if I misinterpreted your post(s). I hope you understand I do not/never have had any problem with _you_.

Best wishes, and thanks for your input **olivesmarch4th**.

It may not have been \*that \*funny, but it warn’t bad.

If I interpreted the joke correctly, he was trying to imply that the woman was indistinguishable from the men. Which is kinda of a standard recognized witticism, esp. when the woman’s beauty/looks are in question. This was his ‘disagree’ vote.

BTW, I was at work, and could only manage to wrangle the conversation in re: her looks with only one person.

He said “Pretty cute” and I wasn’t even manipulating the conversation.

For the record, I interpreted **Wesley Clark** ’s posts, and yours, exactly the same way **olivesmarch4th** did. Which is not to say we’re right and you’re wrong, just that it may be neither of you necessarily came off exactly as you intended. But whatevs. Back to the issue at hand:

Sorry, no. Mrs. Tsarnaeva is not hot. I’d accept “formerly hot”, “pleasant-looking”, and even “reasonably attractive for her age”. As for her sons, however, **colander** was dead-on (though _not_ about Bin Laden; yuck):

Damn. I am dying to know how that conversation even happened. And whether HR was notified.

Do you live and work in a former Eastern Bloc country? That’s the only explanation I can think of for this thread, or your co-worker’s comment.

And does she resemble the First Lady of your country, which also happens to have a law where it is punishable by death to insult the looks of the leader’s wife?

Ah, I guess it didn’t click with me, cause I think she is very attractive in that shot. That teased black hair Siouxie look pushed all my buttons in the 80s.

Russian women are cold and miserable and suck in bed after a month and a car payment when they are in THIS country. In their OWN land they are as likable as explosive diarrhea on prom night.

If the requirement for responding on this thread was that you first meet a Russian woman this discussion would have ended with the question.
