I too had a backpacked muslim guy praying out loud on the London Underground last week. He was sat 2 seats away from me and the various reactions of people was very interesting. Clearly EVERYONE was weighing up what was going on and I admit I was a little nervous. No one sat next to him. Some people got off the train immediately, others moved down the carriage.

I was quite angry about it afterwards because this guy cannot be oblivious to the fact that people died on that very line in the 7/7 London bombings and that I feel this is totally inappropriate behaviour. I am not racist or anti-islam in any way. What we are talking about here is basic human instinct to self-protect which was triggered by this asshole not giving a thought for other train users.

Cheers

London Boy

n-e-wayz, since starting prayer at a specific time is like real fuckin important (the times change every day in accordance with the moon, or sunrise/sunset, something like), i can imagine this dude wanted to get his shit done on time, instead of waiting until he got to the mosque, which would would make him real late i guess. also, keep in mind that its ramadan, so all this shit is like fuckin extra important. fuck, they don’t even let bitches wear bikinis on the beach, and the myriad malls are a fuckin ghost town cos you can’t eat in public and cos everyone is too tired from fasting to do anything at all during the day.

besides, are you such a pussy that some guy talking to his imaginary god with a funny hat on makes you piss yourself? “we were a city attacked” boo fucking hoo. i thought new yorkers were supposed to be thick skinned? that whole “if ‘x’ then the terrorists win” logic really applies here. grow some balls, you’ll need em if you ever want to get your dick wet from one of em jewchicks

and some of you are faggots.

Praying on a train isn’t a measure of devoutness, it’s another example of our planet’s bullshit “look at me” culture. That honor killer could have waited to get back to his hovel on Steinway St but he wanted some attention that his mommy didn’t give him because she was too busy cleaning the smell of goat ass out of her burkha. Same deal with the homeless robot jerker. Here’s the solution, whenever you see someone engaging in “look at me” behavior give them the full attention of your kind boots. That’s right, everyone will notice them when you stomp their fucking retard brains into gazpacho on the 7 train. Let’s do it America! Evolution is calling…..

fuck that you should SUE Seinfeld – for BILLIONS – John Edwards can take the case he ain’t got shit to do.

but seriously, the Palins like Van Halen? fuck man..- i mean I like Van Halen – Van Halen is rad – and i hate the Palins….urgh…or thought i hated them…are they cool now?….semi-redeemed?…. i’m now more confused than Vane$$a. + the fact that Palin bitch likes shooting wolves out of airplanes is pretty cool – can’t help myself – i mean that’s just some insane shit that needs to be filmed immediately.

According to wired.com (a friend had linked to the article; I don’t read wired.com), the itsy-bitsy teenie-weenie tiny ‘tard “Trig Paxson Van Palin” was bequeathed his name as “an homage to the rock band Van Halen”.

I feel more retarded even knowing this.

And of course I didn’t really think you lifted the joke. I didn’t even flat-out accuse the Seinfeld people of stealing my “Cloth Coffee Table Books About Cloth and Coffee Tables” headline from the LA Reader in 1990, even though the show was produced in LA and the LA Reader was a free rag available all over the city.

I think it’s highly likely they saw the headline and then it bubbled up from their subconscious as a “new” idea, but I’m of such high moral caliber that I’ll give people the benefit of the doubt, unlike a lot of the cock-smokers who surf this site.

What’s even more insulting than the idea that I steal bits from people is the intimation that I listen to David Cross routines or read slate.com.
