Posted: 09.13.2002 Pinch, poke, you owe me a Coke
Todd and I have always had this "knack" for thinking and saying the exact same thing at the exact same time. Sometimes it's cute, and we giggle about how long we've been married. Sometimes it really freaks us out, because we can be miles apart and still share the same thoughts. Like today regarding all of this brouhaha going on down south of here...I had just typed this to my mom:
"Any time something like this happens though, I get terrified about decoys. Like these people may have purposely been stupid to deflect everyone's attention to the wrong place while something else gets ready to go down." At the same time (with the same exact timestamp) Todd wrote this: "What I worry about is what if they aren't stupid, this is calculated to draw law enforcement assets away from something like Disney, and they're playing us all for schmo's. I mean, how cheesy is it to have said what they said in a restaraunt! Out loud! It's almost as bad as if they'd screamed 'You'll rue the day!' while twirling their evil mustaches. Something else is fishy here..." I think I smell a rat, too. I just hope it isn't going after a Mouse...  UTEP? OMG, talk about a weak opponent and you’re playing them at home too – have you no shame?

It wouldn't be too hard to exhaust law enforcement resources giving the real plan time to slip by the watchtower... ¤ ¤ credit: queen | 09.13.02 at 02:50 PM | link--this ¤ ¤You should check out Bigwig. He's had the same thoughts... ¤ ¤ credit: Andrea Harris | 09.13.02 at 03:10 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I actually just did Andrea -- and I'm shaking.

Now I'm not that smart, but if I'm in GEORGIA, speak a second language, and have something relatively secret to discuss, do you seriously believe it's going to be said in plain English?! C'mon, folks. So, Robyn, Todd, and you thinkers out there, you might be on to something. If they were serious and not just bluffing - you can bet it would have been said in hushed Arabic. ¤ ¤ credit: Kevin | 09.13.02 at 07:28 PM | link--this ¤ ¤One thing to point out, though, is that while two of the guys (being Palestinian and Jordanian) probably speak fluent Arabic, the third, Omer Choudhary, is Detroit-born and has a Pakistani-sounding name. For all we know he speaks, at most, Urdu at home, and I stress the point that the handful of Urdu-speaking Muslims I know speak Arabic about as well as Bronx Italian Catholics speak Latin, and for the same reason. Don't want to intimate anything else, just to point out that even among Muslims, English might be the lingua franca of choice. To think that these guys would be talking about terrorism out loud in the middle of a restaurant is about as stupid as anything could be. ¤ ¤ credit: Luis | 09.14.03 at 05:54 AM | link--this ¤ ¤
