I am not Bal Gangadhar Tilak, that savant of plate tectonics who formulated a Unified Field Theory of India when he reconciled the … oh let’s call it … fact of India being the birthplace of humanity with the equally muscular fact of only cold places producing intelligence by his earth-shattering (literally) discovery that India as a whole moved up to the North Pole where Manu was placed on it, and then made a return journey to the tropics and thus was born the greatest civilization the world will ever know.
I am not one of the great thinkers this land seems to be producing at an ever-accelerating pace, who have been able to decipher that Christianity is basically Krishna-neeti (Krishna’s policy) and Kaaba (Mecca) is a Hindu temple, and how India invented nuclear weapons (and called them Brahmastra) and diplomacy (krisna-neeting it Chanakya neeti). With these twain weapons shall India destroy and isolate Pakistan!
Hell, I am not even Narendra Damodar Das Modi, who cut through the fog of Chinese herbal teas and PM2.5 to ascertain that genetic science and plastic surgery was born in Ancient India as well, proof being the in vitro birth of Karan in Mahabharat and the replacement of the human head of Lord Ganesh with an elephant head, respectively.
No, sadly, I am a mere mleccha from a cold place and while that might give the Gangadhar a headache (Can I be intelligent?), it means I can only aspire to the lofty high these visionaries have attained.
So I dare not present grand facts about huge things. I will only make a tiny proposal about a small place.
Kashmir has been an eyesore on India’s body politic for the last 72 years. The average life expectancy in India is only 68.5 years, so there is a danger the eyesore might become congenital. The latest attack on Indian armed forces at Lithpur in District Pulwoam, where a Kashmiri suicide bomber killed more than forty Indian soldiers, can become India’s “enough is enough” moment. While randomly beating and harassing Kashmiris working or studying in various parts of Bharat is a good beginning, it won’t be enough. After all, if killing more than 80,000 Kashmiris and making about 10,000 of them disappear has not taught them a lesson, what will a few beatings achieve? No, India needs to do more.
This is my cue. Hear me out.
What are the various dimensions of the Kashmir problem?
Well, first of all, there is Pakistan, that bloody old Mamlikat-e-Khudadaad (I don’t even know what that means). They have been brainwashing Kashmiris from across the border while India, which holds the territory through its 700,000 soldiers and an iron-clad administration, has failed to convince Kashmiris about the merits of living in the World’s Largest Democracy. Unfortunately, brainwashing was not invented in Ancient India. Pakistan needs to be made to understand that its wishy-washy attempts to wash away India from Kashmir by brainwashing Kashmiris are mere pipe dreams.
Then there are these ungrateful Kashmiris themselves. I mean how many free and fair elections does India need to conduct in the state for Kashmiris to understand how much it loves them? Do the Kashmiris even realize what a logistic nightmare it is to muzzle every independent voice and put a soldier on every inch of the troubled land before every election so that its freeness and fairness is not called into question? Granted that India has made mistakes in Kashmir in the past; but if Kashmiris can’t forgive India, maybe India needs to find a new way to make its point.
Finally, what about Kashmiri Pandits? Kashmir was their land. It was a Hindu land. According to a Hindu myth, it was satisar, a great lake extending from Vearnag in the southeast to Varmul in the northwest, populated only by Jaludbhav, a rakshas (demon) who had been given the boon of immortality by Brahma himself, as long as he stayed in the water. Then the Pandits came from the banks of Saraswati in Haryana to settle on the banks of the lake (they loved their fish, still do). But Jaludbhav would gobble anyone who went near the lake. So they pleaded with Vishnu to rid them of the demon, and he sent Kashyap Rishi to drain the lake, leaving Jaludbhav vulnerable to Vishnu’s Sudharshan Chakra. Later, the mleccha came and polluted this holy land with their azaans and beef-eating. The holy land needs to be purified and restored to its formal liquid glory.
What if I tell you that my solution will take care of all these dimensions? Talk about single-window clearance! Am I a Modi Bhakt or what?
Ok, so here it goes. India needs to detonate a single thermonuclear device near Uri. Call it Surgical Strike 3.0. Since Uri means “the udder of a cow”, the strike can also be called Gau Raksha 1.0. Whatever the name, it will seal the narrow passage the Jhelum uses to sneak out of Indian-controlled Kashmir into Azad Kashmir. The result: Infiltration of water across the Line of Control will stop. Kashmir’s water will stay in the valley, slowly submerging towns and villages starting from Varmul, Sopore and Bandepur, then Srinagar and Ganderbal, then Pulwoam, Kopwoar, Badgoam, Koalgoam, Shopian, and Islambad, right upto Vearnag. Kashmir will become satisar, in the great Indian tradition of first inventing a legend and then creating it in reality. Kashmiris who are able to swim to safety can then be relocated to various manageable-sized colonies across India or given the option of going to Pakistan.
Varmul is at a height of 1,600 m above the sea level; Vearnag, at 1,850 m; the Baanhaal pass, at 2,832 m; Peer ki Galli, at 3,485 m; Zojila, at 3,485; and Sinthan, at 3,792. So, even after the blast, the blocked passageway, at about 2,600 m, will continue to be the lowest point of exit for the accumulating water. The volume of water that the bowl-shaped vale will be able to retain can be calculated from the formula for shallow domes, as follows:

Surface area of the Kashmir valley = 16,000 km2
Highest point = 2.6 km above sea level (Uri post-Gau Raksha 1.0)
Lowest point = 1.6 km above sea level (Varmul)
Therefore, height (h) of the spherical section = 1 km
Area of a spherical cap = 2 π r h. Here, area = 16,000 km2 and h = 1 km.
Therefore, r = 2,548 km
Volume will be π h2 (3 r – h) / 3; in our case, h = 1 km and r = 2,548 km.
Therefore, the volume of water in satisar will be = 8,000 km3 (approximately) or about 512 billion m3.

The ballpark figure of the flow of Jhelum’s water at Uri is around 4,000 m3 per second, so it will take about 128,000,000 seconds to fill up the satisar. This amounts to about 1,480 days. while that might be enough time to make Pakistan forget Karbala, india does not need to take any chances. So the strategic nuclear blast will have to be combined with the construction of a giant water wheel at the Baanhaal pass to ferry the water, once the satisar fills up, across the Pir Panjal Range and into the River Chenab, from where it can be sent to East Punjab through a network of canals starting at Reasi. It will ensure that Pakistan does not receive a drop of the water flowing in Jhelum and Chenab.
A similar Patisar (“pati” in Kashmir means “backyard” or “behind”) can be created in Ladakh, and its water ferried over the Zojila pass into satisar, from where it can then be transported to the Chenab by the aforementioned channels, or sold to China at a discounted price. In this manner, Pakistan will lose the water of Indus as well.
Thus, all the three goals will be achieved. Kashmir will become India’s forever and ever. Tourism will bloom as more space becomes available for houseboats and shikara rides. There will be an abundant supply of fish as well. The two giant water wheels at Zojila and Baanhal will be among the chief tourist attractions and can also be repurposed or diversified as Ferris wheels. Two, all of Pakistan’s rivers will run dry, its people will die of thirst, and it will have no water with which to brainwash Kashmiris. The icing on the cake will be the fact of Kashmir becoming satisar, the wet dream of so many visionaries.

I wrote this right before Valentine’s Day.
With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching I thought I’d put down some of my thoughts and feelings. Working overnights allows some interesting perspectives on things that I wouldn’t normally get in the day time. The vibe and energy are different at night.
Where do I start with you? We met each other years ago, in this lifetime at least and neither one of us were ready for the reestablished connection that had been fostered throughout the ages. I remember that first day we grabbed coffee and sat down by the river. I remember seeing you and thinking you were the most beautiful girl I had seen. Not just in physical appearance but in soul aura and maturity. I could feel it radiate off of you and for the first time I felt a switch turn on inside of me. Like the key I had been searching for through my life finally unlocked the door that contained all my feelings.
I remember our first kiss, the feelings of energy coursing through our lips. The intoxicating wave of love and passion when I put my hand around your waist and pulled you close. I remember our intimacy in all aspects. From holding each other, to kissing to hugging and everything in between we just fit together. You and I are one and the same and since we have been apart I’ve felt that the key has gone missing.
Over the years I have had a difficult time dealing with my feelings about you. Shortly after we had broken up I knew I had made a tremendous mistake but at the time I didn’t know how to fix it, I didn’t know how to talk about it, I didn’t know how to express it. I just wanted you back but also didn’t want to make the same mistakes so internally I fought with my feelings.
I’ve watched you throughout those years be with other people, always yearning to be back in their position. It honestly kills me every time your with someone new because it brings me back to that point when I know I fucked it up, it should be me with you. I understand that the timing wasn’t right with us back then but I’m often left wondering when the time will be right again. It just seems like we are a tad off on our timing and it does pain my heart when I think of it. If I could go back in time and right my wrongs I would.
I don’t know much about the people you’ve been with. I’m sure there are reasons you’ve chosen them but I hope that you feel the same way as me and know deep down inside who you are meant to be with. I feel with every bit of light and darkness in my soul that it’s you and me and nothing else.
You are me and I am you. I think about you absolutely everyday. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing. Little things remind me of you, big things remind me of you and everything in between. Not seeing you, not holding you, not comforting you, not exploring life with you really sucks.
We are where we are at because it’s supposed to unfold like that. We need to grow, understand, experience loss and really learn to appreciate things and I’ve done that and continue to do it everyday. I understand what you mean to me, I understand what our life could be like together and honestly I look forward to that everyday.
I love everything about you! Your beautiful smile, your magnificent eyes, your radiant personality.
I love that you are yourself and have learned to not give a fuck about what people think. I love that you are compassionate and loving but know when to be strong and firm.
I love how intimate you can be, how sensual and understanding but sexy and upfront. You know what you want, you know what pleases you and have no issues asking for it. I crave your soul and interactions.
I know this is alot for you to hear and if it is just let me know. I understand you are in a relationship and I know how you feel about that stuff. I know you are super loyal and like I said before that’s something I admire in you. I just want you to know that I will never stop fighting for you. I know deep down we are supposed to enjoy life together and I’m excited to start building a life that life. We could go anywhere, be anything, do anything and as long as I have you with me and in my life I would have everything I ever wanted and needed.
Since we won’t get to spend Valentine’s Day together I wanted to write this to you. You are my valentine and always will be. The amount of love I have for you in immeasurable. You are so special to me and I can’t thank the universe enough for letting our paths cross again.
In the big scheme of things life is very short. You never know when your last day is going to be so I just want to make sure you know how I really feel about you and us. Totally open and vulnerable.
I love you so much 💕💕💕💕💕

I wrote this but never sent it, she will always have my heart.
Late night intrusions

It’s not even tourist season yet and I’ve seen 3-5 Cruise America RV’s or 15 passenger vans performing wholly unsafe moves on hwy 1 in the last week. HOW are these rentals legal? Putting someone in an RV who has no experience and will only ever drive for 2 weeks feels totally irresponsible. A few examples - all on wet pavement with the atmospheric rivers:

• 3 point turn across the highway in the trees near captain cooper.
• a dead stop on highway 1 and then when I approached, no attempt to move, but just turning on their hazards and refusing to move. (I rolled down my window and asked if they were stranded and they shouted “GO AROUND”)
• multiple drivers parked over the line at Soberanes around the giant blind curve. Corners of the RV as well as the tires in the road.
• RV’s just loitering in the southbound lane to get onto old coast or to wait to park in the new terrible bixby parking sticks.

This isn’t aimed at longterm RV’ers - I just don’t understand how this company continues to be allowed to rent these. I sent multiple emails about the video posted here with the renter emptying their sewage into the Big Sur river, including links to the video… I got 0 replies. /rant

The 185th nest migration happened Wednesday!
[Calgary Nest Map] Direct link (http://bit.ly/YYCNestMap)
Nest Migration start: Mar 15, 5 pm
Next Nest Migration: Mar 29, 5 pm
Nests are as accurate at time of reporting. Please keep in mind that sometimes nests change when certain events begin/end.
The majority of the nest list has been provided by https://www.theraidmap.com/ If you want more pokemon, please consider subscribing.
In order to keep the nest list updated as timely as possible I would kindly request that nest only be reported in top level comments and avoid editing previous posts to include new nests. The easiest way for me to see when the list needs to be updated is to see when I have a notification from reddit and I only receive those on new top level comments. Thank you very much!
Thank you to all our nest reporters! Without you, this wouldn't be possible!
Please keep the following in mind when reporting nests:
Spawn points in nests have a 25% chance to spawn the nest Pokemon. If a nest only has a handful of spawn points it is common to not see any of the nesting Pokemon if you are only at the nest for a short period of time. Due to this please ensure you have spent enough time in a nest before reporting your findings.
Happy hunting!!

I just found this out today. With 7 days left to apply for this scheme, should I yolo and go for it?
For context the benefits are: 0% dp for up to 500k loan.
I think missing out on this scheme would be a loss and needing to save 50k+ deposit will be a pain.
The new scheme sucks as it would only be for those with no stable income - no offense to them I wish you guys all the best, but yea you get my point.
Additional context: Yea i can afford it, worst case can get temporary fathermother scholarship. Curveball : travelling on the 27th of march so donno if can settle paperwork kn time LOL.

Hey all. New here and new to a planted aquarium. Love my 20 gal. Looking to add some plants but am on a budget. Would it be a terrible thing to run down to the local river (Cache la Poudre in Colorado) and brings enough home to fill up the bottom of my tank.
I figure it probably has loads of nutrients in it but would probably bring some bad stuff along too? Thoughts?
(Right now I only have a goldfish and a few cuttings of pothos)

​
Ettore ‘Terry’ Zappi (53y), Pasquale ‘Patsy’ Conte (32y), Joseph ‘Gus’ Colozzo (52y), Joseph ‘Joe Rivers’ Silesi (60y), Gaetano ‘Tom’ Russo (66y) and Pietro Stincone (60y) show up as captains by 1960, but it is unclear if they were captains as early as 1957.
A probable Captain would be Salvatore ‘Toto’ Tornabe (61y), who attended the Apalachin Meeting shortly after Albert Anastasia’s murder. Tornabe may have been succeeded by Stincone following the former’s death in late 1957.
Joseph Biondo’s rank, following his demotion from Consigliere in 1951, is unclear.
Mazzie was imprisoned not long after 1957 and his regime was split up between Arthur Leo and David Amodeo. Following Leo’s death in 1965, his regime eventually was split between Francesco Alio Rizzo and Anthony Napolitano. Amodeo was succeeded by John Angelone in the late 1970s.
Carlo Gambino formed a new Bronx crew in early 1967, headed by his cousin Joseph 'Joe From The Bronx' Gambino. The regime broke off from David Amodeo's crew, which, at the time, was believed to be the family's largest Bronx decina.
Paolo Gambino was under Francesco Castellana and later Paul Castellano, and was (most likely) not promoted to captain until the late 1960s.
Following Rava’s murder around 1960, his regime was split up between Peter ‘Petey Pumps’ Ferrara and Aniello ‘Neil’ Dellacroce, though it appears Dellacroce was not promoted until c. Fall 1961. It’s possible that the former Rava crew members were without a captain for a while until Dellacroce got in favor with the Gambino hierarchy.
Other sources, notably LCNBios, seem to indicate that Antonino Rizzo (1887 - 1962) may have taken over part of this crew, rather than Ferrara. However, in September-October 1968, an FBI informant, possibly Carmine Lombardozzi, claimed that Rizzo was a former soldier.
Captain Jerome D’Aquila, son of former boss Salvatore D’Aquila, was demoted by the early 1960s, as he owed so much money to other members of the family. He was replaced by Olympio ‘Lilo’ Garofalo.
Following Vincent ‘Jimmy Jerome’ Squillante’s murder in 1960, his regime was split up between Anthony ‘Tony The Geep’ Sedotto, Joseph ‘Joe Z’ Zingaro, and Rocco Mazzie. By the early 1980s, members of the Sedotto and Mazzie crews were back under Zingaro.
Nick Patti was promoted to Capodecina over the Connecticut Membership in the late 1960s.
During the 1950s-1960s various crews were split up allowing for a larger number of captains. It appears there were not that many in the 1940s-1950s.
Former captains c. 1930s - 1950s include Simone 'Sam' Riccobono, Gaetano Trupia, Joseph 'Joe 90' Parlapiano, Philip 'Philly Cohen' Mangano, Antonino 'Zu Nino' Indelicato, Frank 'Cheech' Scalise, Joseph Scalise, Antonio Paterno, and Pasquale Corbi.

Gabe and Isabel have nearly enough characters in their tale to warrant a spin-off series, so time to crowd the stage and introduce Gabe’s stunt-friend Trey.
“What’s the point of me again?” Trey needs clarification over basketball. “How did we meet?”
“I heard you speaking English?” Gabe tries. “Oh, I’m trans. That and not knowing you is why I didn’t add you on social media.”
“Whoa! And you want to marry this girl?” Trey remembers his lines. “I mean, you should pause and think about it. Do you really want to be with someone who loves and accepts you?”
“Yes?” Gabe isn’t sure Trey is living up to the fake-friend promise.
“Well I would slow down, and definitely don’t ask for her hand in marriage and reveal the trans thing on the same visit with the parents,” Trey advises. “Every sitcom gives you 30 minutes to chew on a coming-out before the wedding episode, and this show is like a thousand minutes long.”
“Yeah, but the cameras make it a bit safer,” Gabe has a point.
“Did that stop River from lamp-smacking Pedro?” Trey has three points!
Gabe remains resolved so Trey takes his doubt on the road and meets up with Gabe and Isabel at a spot where they usually bro-out doing man things like smashing stuff with their beef-mitts in front of tits. Isabel does her best to believe Gabe has a second-life as a nomadic womanizer without guffawing. Perhaps the fake business and the real surgeries and actual families provide sufficient drama without the need for Trey’s services?
“I’m afraid not,” production has notes. “Normally, yes, but we’ve got a LOT of sad white women this season. Without these two, it’s basically crying and Nicole looking like she wants to return to the sea.”
“Speaking of secretos,” Trey isn’t ready to abandon the spotlight just yet. “How about that trans business? Did you know about this, Isabella?”
“Really?” Isabel won’t last much longer.
“It’s Isabel,” Mateo, Isabel’s friend, manifests like Daniele’s watching.
“Did YOU know about this?” Trey needs to ask this some more. “This culture es muy machismo. Mucho cheesimo. Muy.”
“Muy confuso,” M’Hog agrees.
“Colombia is more progressive than Alabama,” Jeymi has been talking to Kris. “Are any of you even armed right now?”
Gabe gets a bit worried when Isabel mentions her dad being religious, since the bulk of Gabe’s daily hate comes from trolls and people who use religion to justify bigotry. All the same, the whole family prepares to head to Isabel’s parents’ house for a few days, with Miguel taking on the turtle-transport task like someone who wants his reptiles to live. The parents are excited to see them, and report endorsing Gabe as a partner, since he has a good heart and a “special disposition to love Isabel.” After greeting and asking about sleeping arrangements, dad says Gabe will sleep in separate quarters since he’s a guest.
“Oh, I’m not a virgin,” Isabel breaks the news to them gently, hiding Miguel behind her back.
“More secretos!” Trey won’t leave.
They sit down to eat, and ask Gabe how Colombian food measures against American cuisine, and Gabe reports food in Miami is just deep-fried golf balls, and Colombian food has ingredients. Gabe adds that he’s calling Colombia home now, to further his relationship with Isabel. Dad can’t help but smile when Gabe mentions wanting to be with her his whole life, and the grandparents quiz the kids to make sure they’re on board with this plan. Miguel shrugs his support, while daughter says that she’s happy when her mom is happy.
“If God is not in our lives it won’t work out,” dad adds ominously.
“Okay,” Gabe is scared. “By God do you mean like God-God, or like red Starbucks cup God, or just-cover-your-body-and-serve-me God, or…”
Jen’s been trying to leave India since her plane landed, and this time tells Rishi she’s not keen to join the family home.
“Okay,” Rishi says.
“Really?” Jen looks for the fire exits.
As a compromise, Jen allows Rishi more time to tell his family he’ll be booing-up with the weird white lady who talks to them like they’re feral children communicating with claps.
Jen’s creeping up on 30 days in India, and she learned watching Jenny’s 23 seasons that all that’s required to stretch a visa to four months is leaving every 30 days. She rolls into a lawyer’s office with one week to spare and no fucks to give about the cost of airfare, to see how far she needs to go to be far enough from India to avoid offending the country.
“You do not have the google?” the lawyer is understandably stunned this is happening.
“I have two masters’ degrees, and haven’t read since,” Jen explains. Then she tells the lawyer and his paternal supervisor that she’s engaged, and would like to remain in India as God allows.
“Why do they keep trying to drag me into this?” God is exhausted.
The lawyer asks to see her visa, so Jen surrenders her phone.
“When are you getting married?” the lawyer asks, scanning her photos for nudes.
“He hasn’t told his family yet,” Jen TMI’s.
“So never,” the lawyer shrugs. “You’re going to need another tourist visa.”
“BUT!”
“This is your phone, correct?” the lawyer is over it. “Do you see where it says ‘number of entries’? The answer to your riddle lies here.”
“Whaaaaa? I thought ‘single’ was my marital status!”
“This is crazy American behavior,’ the lawyer is a touch too on-the-nose.
“Look, this is my fucking livelihood,” Camera #1 needs the lawyer to know what she’s been through. “Just wait until we leave to laugh like everyone else, and focus on distributing doom!”
Jen insists that nothing worth doing has ever been hard, and a life-changing decision should demand minimal effort.
“It’s like, message received, universe!” Jen cries.
“That wasn’t me,” the Universe chimes in.
“Maybe this is God telling me to stop trying to make this work,” Jen sobs.
“When did you start trying?” God is with the Universe on this one.
Jen’s got to tell Rishi this news in front of the chai-guy, and leaves out the part where this information was readily available to her the entire time. Rishi looks like he just took a kick from Oussama’s donkey, and neither of them are ready to get married in just a month, but they don’t want to break up. Tears happen.
“Would anyone like some more chai?” the chai-guy feels helpless.
Debbie and Oussama leave the airport for Rabat, and Oussama wastes no time sharing what every Arabic man tells their non-Muslim western-would-be-wife on this show, so do I even have to type it? Debbie thinks she’s already sacrificed enough by agreeing to like-button his facebook poetry, and Oussama requests she just learn to be “40% of a Moroccan housewife” — and Moroccan housewives work hard.
“I thought hard work kills the creativity?” Debbie needs to understand there’s two different standards at play here. “I’ve already worked hard my entire life. When do you start?”
Still, Debbie says she’ll warm to the idea if their food is primarily take-out and they agree to get fucked up on wine on the regular. Oussama notes that this is fine, they just can’t drink at the house.
“It makes the angels go outside of the home and makes the devil come inside,” Oussama explains how booze works.
“Finally, a fucking invite!” the devil has been waiting for this moment.
“Is that how you got this way?” Debbie starts putting the pieces in place. “Can we slough them off at a brew pub somewhere, or is this an exorcism situation? Do you have an ancient box I can twirl in my hands?”
Debbie colors this whole turn bizarre, and so she anticipates walking out the same 100% Debbie she was when she walked in.
“I need a drink just thinking about it,” Debbie laughs.
“No, this will be fine,” Oussama reads from his *PUA Handbook for Muslim Men Marrying Western Women for Lulz.* “My word is final. Old American women have so much dumb.”
“Excuse me! Did he say old?” Jen has an issue here.
“Me not old,” Memphis wants to be included.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, so I’m packing, and I’m leaving,” Nicole does her part.
“I don’t know Oussama,” Debbie’s destined for reality tv. “It’s starting to sound like you plan to fuck around and find out.”
They arrive at a gorgeous inn with brilliant decor and architecture, and Debbie marvels at its beauty, before suggesting Oussama might want to be 20% a gentleman and give her back a fucking break and get the bags. God takes revenge on Oussama for suggesting Debbie dilute herself and brains him on his way out of her room.
“He just clotheslined himself bad!” Debbie laughs along with God, who takes full responsibility.
“My neck,” Kris feels it all the way in Colombia.
Debbie puts her stuff away and thinks she’s been left no choice but to remind Oussama of her majesty through jewelry. She makes her grand entrance in a flowing dress, and wants to finalize a few things, since Oussama has already written 40% of her identity out of the story. She asks how long they plan to stay with his parents, and Oussama assures her that she won’t be there long at all, but he’ll probably be there until the planet dies.
“So wait, where am I going to be when the planet dies?”
“Dead,” Oussama hopes this clears things up.
“What if it dies in three months? Where will I be then?”
“Oh, in America,” Oussama thinks she asks a lot of questions, and he swears he explained his policy about cats>humans.
“But I’m wearing a lion’s head,” she directs his attention.
Debbie thinks this information might have been more useful prior to packing, and Oussama says he knew she wouldn’t come then, so as you can see, this deception is fine. Debbie is gobsmacked, and reports the last time she was there he practically floored it to the courthouse, and now he’s demanding a two-month trial run and a return to Georgia before he weighs his options a second time.
“You sure screwed up Oussama,” Debbie sadly shakes her head. “Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”
With that Debbie takes her leave, and vows to get in a quick camel ride and replenish her bead collection before returning to the House of Wonders that has managed to remain enchanted without her.
The Four Day Torment of Kris is ready for Chapter Exhausted, and the box of pills and magic shot have narcolepsied Kris into a denim-coma, granting Jeymi a chance to escape this tit-pillow prison. She asks Kris if she still wants to take photos on the backs of horses wearing cowboy hats, or if it’s cool for her to change out of this outfit, and Kris says Jeymi should go it alone while she face-plants and listens to “Ring of Fire” on repeat. With that, Jeymi scurries off to meet with friends Alex and Leo.
“HELP ME!” She screams as she runs into the restaurant.
“DID SHE FOLLOW YOU?” Alex and Leo need to know this first.
Jeymi says that somewhere Kris’ car-accident total rose to four, one for each day she’s spent in Colombia, and one of these accidents resulted in a neck injury so confusing that it somehow feels better smashed sideways into a moosh pillow.
“Kris also said it would be better if you didn’t meet her before we’re already married,” Jeymi frowns.
“Has she been in jail?” Alex has a wager he’s looking to settle. “Is she there now?”
“Does she think everything south of Texas is Mexico?” Leo has a bet of his own. “Is Tucker Carlson her president?”
They tell Jeymi this is why their original advice was to leave her at the airport, and she interjects that Kris is going back there soon enough anyway.
“Because she’s going to jail?” Alex isn’t letting his theory dissolve, but is willing to wait.
Nicole waffles around the house in search of a storyline other than clothing, and settles on slow-motion ironing, which is still clothing, and another reason to be late to Mahmoud’s uncle’s house. Uncle owns a garment factory, and Mahmoud and Nicole think they can turn her designs into a family business, once they’re married to other people. For reasons known only to Mahmoud, he believes this sojourn to the next House of Judgment will relax Nicole.
“I feel that once she sees my aunt completely covered with only her eyes exposed, she’ll understand how respectful this is,” Mahmoud says things.
Nicole’s welcomed into the house, and they share her sketches with the family, while Nicole describes a strange, isolated hamlet of America where women are restricted to short sleeves and skirts with nary a pant to be found.
“What?” Every clothing shop from LA to NYC has questions.
Uncle Fashion reports that Nicole’s designs are a good start, but they’re not quite a burqa yet, and he’s wondering when Mahmoud is going to brainwash Nicole into thinking a similar outfit is her own idea. Nicole thinks this is a very personal question, and thought she made it clear she’s there for a business opportunity. Uncle says if she hadn’t converted and somehow fallen into the strictest circle of religious Egypt this wouldn’t be a thing. Mahmoud tells them that Nicole doesn’t understand the purpose of the hijab, or any facet of the religion beyond the single sentence she willingly recited prior to nuptials, but he’s made a point to repeatedly bring it up while speaking of nothing else. Uncle retorts that the clothing is not the most important part, the praying is, and Nicole says that Mahmoud still has to teach her this.
“I’m having a crisis of faith,” Nicole describes losing something she never had. “I still need to iron it and find the shoes to match.”
“Trust me, praying is more important than the clothes,” Uncle insists.
“Not to Mahmoud!” Nicole objects.
“There are books that could answer a lot of these questions…” God tries.
“I was not told there would be reading!” Nicole objects again.
“Right?!” Jen’s on board.
STILL TO COME THIS SEASON: Kris and Jeymi commit love crimes in front of astonished witnesses, Jen travels through time towards her actual age, Nicole dresses like a lady-sperm on an important ovarian quest, Gabe shares his secrets with Isabel’s family, Daniele goes snorkeling for new complaints, and Yohan finds an excuse to reference the baby-arm in his pants.
