CRYPTIQUE SPECIAL – I’M THINKING ABOUT IT

The significance has still not fully sunk in.

Suicide bombers have attacked a major international city and completely fucked up.

"Of course I know how to attach the fucking detonator!"

For a suicide bomber, survival has to be the ultimate in defeat and dishonor.

The idea of a feared terrorist legging it out of Kennington Oval tube station, and being chased down by irate passengers, is not only shameful but absurd in the extreme

I worry that the Ali G wigger in the Bob Marley jacket and Fidel Castro fatigue cap who was shown repeatedly on CNN may not live to see Sunday.

When the bomb fails to detonate, isn’t the only course of action is to fall to one’s knees and disembowel oneself with an ornamental Saracen dagger?

Samurai are made from sterner stuff than Wahhabi.

A terrible pun involving Wahhabi and wasabi presents itself but I resist.

Rep. Tom Tancredo wants to bomb Mecca.

Lend him a B52 and let him.

In the words of the great Ellen Ripley, "Nuke the entire site from orbit."

In the McLuhan speedup, not all cultures accelerate at the same rate.

The yuan is now am opaque currency.

Could you sit in a movie theatre full of grown men dressed as Dakota Fanning?

The secret word is Conjecture

Hey Mick, I hope you enjoyed the 'zines that I sent you a while back.
Don 't know if you 've seen this, but the police killed a man at the Stockwell tube station today. Apparently he was wearing a heavy coat and people thought he was a suicide bomber. According to a witness:

"I saw an Asian guy. He ran on to the train, he was hotly pursued by three plain clothes officers, one of them was wielding a black handgun.

"He half tripped... they pushed him to the floor and basically unloaded five shots into him," he told BBC News 24.

"As [the suspect] got onto the train I looked at his face, he looked sort of left and right, but he basically looked like a cornered rabbit, a cornered fox.

"He looked absolutely petrified and then he sort of tripped, but they were hotly pursuing him, [they] couldn't have been any more than two or three feet behind him at this time and he half tripped and was half pushed to the floor and the policeman nearest to me had the black automatic pistol in his left hand.

"He held it down to the guy and unloaded five shots into him."

Needless to say, nobody knows what the fuck is going on yet, not even if the guy was innocent of any wrongdoing or not.

PS: Tancredo is a cretin, but then what else is new.
