I'm gonna take a screenshot of this :p

Adnan

@Lamia What did you eat today?

Lamia

@Adnan Happy meal?

Adnan

@Lamia Oh wow.

Lamia

@Adnan LOL

Adnan

@Lamia This reminds me, I really want a burger. I haven't had a burger in years.

Lamia

20:04

@Adnan It wasn't a burger

Chicken nuggets

Adnan

@Lamia Oh dear lord.

@Lamia El Beik (or Al Baik)?

Lamia

@Adnan LOL! and yes you do need to eat a burger

@Adnan No way u know about El beik!

Are you sure you are not from SA?

Or is it THIS famous

and no, from much more famous restaurant, McDonald's

Scott Pack

Goddamn I love me a good burger.

Adnan

@Lamia I ate Al Baik nuggets in Dubai

They were alright

Lamia

@Adnan I didn't know Al Baik has opened in Dubai! Good news

We don't have it here in the capital, so..

Adnan

20:08

@ScottPack Hmmm... Actual non-McDonald's American burger. Yumm

Lamia

@Adnan Chicken or meat?

Adnan

@Lamia Wait wait.. no Al Beik in Rya9?!

@Lamia Both work for me.

Lamia

@Adnan Yes, and I'm glad they didn't open here

Scott Pack

@Adnan I haven't eaten at McDonald's in years.

They are the only place I can find actual Sweet Tea around here, though.

Lamia

@Adnan I only eat chicken :c

Adnan

20:11

@Lamia It's cute that you're direct translating from Arabic with the "chicken or meat" thing. (Dajaj walla la7me).

Lamia

@Adnan That's how they say it in the plane :P

@Adnan yalla bt7dak t7ki m3i 3rbi

Adnan

@Lamia Honestly, I prefer chicken as well, especially if I'm the one doing the cooking. My preference is usually Chicken->Beef->Ham->Fish

tylerl

@Adnan bacon

Adnan

@Lamia El meshkleh enno ello3'a hon ingliizi. (the problem is that the official language here is English)

Lamia

@Adnan Chicken -> Chicken -> Chicken -> Chicken, breasts chicken only

@Adnan Walla mant sahel :P badit ashk enk mn Finland

Adnan

20:14

@Lamia Lassara7a b7eb e7ki 3arabi aktar in ay lo3'a tanyeh.

@Lamia Also, I'm not from Finland. I just live here.

I'm Syrian (men Sooria).

Lamia

@Adnan I can tell, you speak it very well

Scott Pack

"Sooria". Is that Canadian for Syria?

Lamia

@Adnan Wohoo, finally I knew where u from

Adnan

@ScottPack Nah, it's just poorly written phonetically from Arabic in Latin alphabet.

Scott Pack

@tylerl Bacon cheeseburger.

Adnan

20:16

@tylerl I never really liked bacon. Too fatty. Too smokey. Too salty.

@Lamia I thought you already knew. Hmmm

Lamia

@Adnan B7b sorya :)

@Adnan No u never told me, I spent years trying to figure out how u know Arabic

Adnan

@Lamia Teslami, w sooya bet7ebbek kaman. Bas ya 7aram ma fiha t7eb 7ada halla2.

Lamia

@Adnan 7znanen 3leha. Ya rb yjeha farajha w trj3 mthl ma kant w a7sn kman

Adnan

@Lamia Thanks, I hope so as well.

Lamia

@Adnan We pray for them.

Adnan

20:20

@Lamia Do you have mazaj with not-so-regular Arabic music?

Lamia

@Adnan what is not-so-regular Arabic music :p

You mean Arabic but more like foreign ?

Adnan

@Lamia Ew, no.

@Lamia Recently, I'm liking the songs on some Facebook page. Here's my favorite one this month youtube.com/watch?v=ytdLW2SF7W8

A bit too political, but I like the mixing of genres.

Plus, anything that have actual non-sexual lyrics in Arabic is good.

The refrain (chorus) in that song is quite nice.

Lamia

@Adnan That's the first time I listen to it, a very nice song. So touching

@ton.yeung No that's cryptography :p

Adnan

@ton.yeung Yeah, I'm brainwashing the brain of a Saudi woman into accepting Arabic culture.

Get a grip, sweetie.

Lamia

@Adnan I'm not so into politics, but we all share the same pain

Adnan

20:31

@ton.yeung All more reason to form an informed opinion on the subject. Yaay!

Lamia

@Adnan Into accepting Arabic culture, hmmm

Adnan

@Lamia I'm just showing him how ridiculous his statement was.

Iszi

Just had one of these conversations via e-mail today:

SA - "Hey, that configuration change you recommended to resolve a vulnerability? Yeah, we had some problems with that awhile back. It'll break things."

Me - "Oh, really? Can you give me the documentation so I can include it in a proposal?"

SA - "Uhhh.... yeah, ok. Let me just go test that change now."

Been a fun day.

Lamia

@Adnan btw, If you are very familiar with Arabic you would notice that this song miss the strong Arabic words that really touches, maybe because it was rap song.. but I'm more into Arabic "F9ee7* songs

Iszi

I need to get a partial combat dummy - just from the shoulders up - mounted to my desk, so I've got someone I can slap across the head any time I'm dealing with people like that.

Scott Pack

20:34

@Iszi Yeah....so we don't want to do that so we'll just say that it failed.

Adnan

@Lamia Oooh, please tell me more. Lately, it's almost impossible to find 3arabi fa9ee7 songs.

Iszi

@ScottPack The funny bit was they seemed to be very specifically referring to some trouble that had occurred around that setting awhile ago. But for some reason they have no trouble tickets or other documentation of the incident.

Adnan

@Iszi Hehehahaha... what happened in the end?

Scott Pack

@Iszi Totally didn't work

Iszi

@Adnan Waiting on test results now.

Adnan

20:37

@Lamia Any bands? YouTube channels? My only source for songs fa9ee7a is usually the "banned" kind of songs. You know what I'm talking about? The boom boom kind of songs.

I don't like the overall message, bud damn the lyrics are so strong.

Lamia

@Adnan youtube.com/watch?v=Vbh21azGlzk this one is good, not famous, but I couldn't find translation for it, and I'm not sure it's ur kind

@Adnan There's actually a new good band, I will look for their name

Adnan

@Lamia Perfect! I'll listen and let you know. I'm going no, but please ping me with names/links.

@Lamia Te9ba7i 3ala 5eer.

Nightie night, everybody.

@Iszi Oh, please, update us when you get something.

Lamia

@Adnan The one I just gave u is related to Arab land and stuff, the recent, most famous fa9ee7 songs are love stories related, or old Arapic poems like this one youtube.com/watch?v=hNltnEU8tow

@Adnan W ent Men ahlu, when I find the band I will link u

David Freitag

@Adnan I know. I think @ScottPack hates me for bad talking his country.

@Lamia Sadly i was part of the argument. But i eventually solved it with my superior logics and stuff.

Lamia

@Adnan I didn't get what u mean by the boom boom kind of songs, but when u listen to what I just gave u tell me what u think so I can know ur type and look for it :p

David Freitag

20:45

I'm not a pedant at work. It's bad enough that i have to deal with coworkers there's just no sense in arguing over something stupid if i don't want to talk to anyone there anyway.

Lamia

@DavidFreitag I love arguments, when u have another one please invite me in :p

David Freitag

@Lamia I'm a huge fan of arguing as well. I love picking an argument over something stupid just for the sake of arguing.

Lamia

@DavidFreitag We shall do a debate one day :p

David Freitag

@Lamia No doubt once you get time to start that OS project ;]

Scott Pack

@DavidFreitag Eh?

David Freitag

20:48

@ScottPack You know, that whole "I don't want to live in this country anymore" and "Americans are fat and stupid" stuff.

I guess you were joking. So difficult to distinguish with you

Scott Pack

@DavidFreitag Eh?

David Freitag

@ScottPack Nevarmind

Scott Pack

You confuse me son.

Rоry McCune

21:34

a wild @RoryAlsop appears...

David Freitag

@RоryMcCune Was that a clever ploy to trap the nerds in here?

Rоry McCune

@DavidFreitag nerds... here... never

@simon isn't here so we don't have any nerds

TildalWave

21:58

@ScottPack nom nom nom nom :P

now I need to find a movie I could watch ...

something that'd mix with Dylan Moran's stand up that I just finished

@RoryAlsop this sounds like the kind of thing you would enjoy... 2.8hourslater.com

Rory Alsop

Yes. Entirely

@Adnan This is true. In my case, I am truly brilliant, I do have years of quaity experience, and I do take advantage of the luxury of being picky. Very picky.

However, it turns out I've never experienced an APT.
