Stationery and Hair

The sad state of stationery in Pakistan. WHY, pray tell, can they not have post-it notes that actually STICK? Wouldn't THAT be a novel idea. This world would be a much better place if everyone had access to yummy stationery that actually worked the way it should. Atleast the local ones have the colours right. Colourful post-its, tacks and paper clips are easy enough to find. I have yet to find that 3M Scotch(tm) Tape again. Lahore is especially bad, no one seems to understand the need for Good Stationery, shop-owners included. "What's the big deal man, an eraser's an eraser". I don't want your pathetic little 2 rupee, 2-bit erasers that are hard as bricks and don't ERASE. Just because your puny pathetic mind could not ever hope to appreciate good stationery even if it reached your stomach the wrong way doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Fools.

Fulcrum.

Big-Oh Notation. Slutskey Equation and Kinky Curves. Always Flush Policy. Why do people not find these things funny anymore? It is arrogance and nothing else, to pretend to be mature when you try so hard to "be cool" and are ignorant of common courtesy and common decency. Having a sense of humour does not make you uncool you cretins.

Did I mention I'm an arrogant, stuck up bastard? Hate me 'cos I know it.

Oh, and Darrell Hair is an asshole. 'nuff said. Well, maybe not (.. not 'nuff said I meant, he IS still an asshole). Instead of having him kicked out by the ICC, I suggest we welcome him with open arms to umpire a triangular series between India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. I believe the best venue will be either Peshawar, Pakistan or Calcutta (Kolkata?), India. I believe we'll give him the traditional welcome, just to show the way we really feel about him.
