i can say that last name without a problem...

but, then again, i'm persian.

mohammadpourkarkaragh

really, it's pretty much two last names (or cities in iran) put together. it really should be hyphenated, but his family name comes from a remote village in iran (karkaragh), so i'm sure it just all got put together as literacy in his lineage waxed and waned.

mohammadpour is a common last name. anything last name with "pour" in the beginning or end of it is a persian last name (christiane amanpour, shar pourdanesh, shapour bakhtiar etc.).

having the town where you're from at the end of your name is common... it basically tells the people where you're from. for example, rudi bakhtiar (she's from bakhtiar, a small town in iran... she is also the niece of shapour bakhtiar and cousin of david bakhtiar), babak ferdowsi (from the town of ferdows in iran), etc.

Now what should we discuss for the next two pages? Screw Iran, let's do acid cats for a while.

would i be the only one that used to think that duct tape was duck tape?

Blame Manco. I guess outside of the trade it was never called duck tape, but such a myriad of non-professional DIYers latched on to it, nevermind the fact that Nashua, and 3M also make very good duct tapes.

i doubt it'll ever happen, lol that's almost like asking how long before the united states is all native americans again. and, no, i don't know any zoroastrians. i think there are only like 100k left in the world.

the shah was a big fan of "persian culture" right?

and saddam was trying to bebuild babylon

Yeah it sucks that such an industrious, hard working, family-centric culture is infringing on American self-entitled laziness. I really hate how the kids are bilingual and might serve as a gateway to meld two cultures.

Being Nordic, you realize what I am saying with all the stupid micks, daigos (sp?), and limeys about?

Must be nice to not have such a muddied cultural heritage, and doubly so for not having a repressed one.

I can't say I share the privilege, but at least my skin is white so I can be secure in my "superiority" until I figure out my cultural heritage.

what i was refering to is that mexicans are 50% indiginous so that in effect america is becoming native american again

Is that Manfred Hoeberl ?
I remember decades ago he was on tv.
He had huge arms and could crush a closed can full can of beer in his hands easily.

Those are no synthol arms but real muscles.

I curled close to 200kgs and was busy training for a bet I had with a Bodybuilding Magazine to curl 200 kg on a barbell for $5000.
