Copied from Youtube, someone's interpretation of what he said:

Oh, I know actually that I, um, enjoy the slow burn and then let the squirrel burn and open with its paw yarn. Ahahahahaha. Oh, did your dad call back with the fries? 'Cause he wanted the back paw word to poke his head. Eheh. Ahahahaha. Oh, you would call back with the pot burger on his head, call, pull her out. Oh, brought out for your head, don't give him the pot further than the throwback cook. Ahahaha. About, uh, twelve Beirut pot urn! Ahahaha. Ooh, that flower bird and that bow bad. Ahahaha. Oh, they've ordered that bird. Ohh!

When I lived in Beirut, the hardest thing for me to get used to was the way people behaved when driving a car. It was as though the horn was an acceptable substitute for the brakes. A colleague of mine explained, "Everyone drives as though the street was a gift from his father." It turns out, though, that a lot of the horn use was very short taps letting pedestrians know that there was a car behind them (people walked in the road often because of very narrow or obstructed sidewalks), or to warn people that a car was coming when approaching a blind intersection (narrow roads, no traffic lights). The first couple of months there I was really jumpy, I heard horns and always thought I was going to be hit by a cab. Eventually I came to appreciate it and understand it as a courtesy of sorts. Now I'm back in Brooklyn biking around and I get annoyed that cars DON'T give me a tap or two before passing me.

On the other hand, Beirut is the only place that I've ever been honked at as a pedestrian by guy driving on the sidewalk telling me to get the hell out of his way.

I was playing vibes with a friend and his little boy, and the little guy played a lick that reminded me of this tune.

From the liner notes to the film:

"Q: First and foremost—a year later—how and where is Nejmia? Do you keep in touch with her? What is she like now? What has been the effect of this documentary on Nejmia? On the town?

KHADIJA AL-SALAMI: Seven months after shooting the film, Nejmia’s father stopped her from going to school and ordered her to wear the veil. A year later, this film won first prize at the Beirut Film Festival. The president of Yemen was visiting France at that time and heard about the prize. He asked me to show him the film. I thought he would not like it because it shows society looking down on women, but I was wrong. He was drawn by Nejmia’s personality, and at the end of the film he asked me to tell Nejmia’s family that he would like to pay for her education. I was very happy to hear that and thought that was the best prize I could ever get for the film. Now, Nejmia is back at school. I think it is the most important element for a better and independent future. The more a woman is educated, the more she knows her rights and is able to defend them, the more useful she will be to her family and to society as a whole. The film was not screened on Yemeni TV because they are not accustomed to such controversial subject matter."

Not at all :]

Department of Homeland Security. That's reason enough to not hold the Olympics in the USA. I'm a Caucasian male in his mid-twenties with no criminal record and I don't dress like a hippie or a terrorist, yet whenever I arrive at a US airport, I am treated like one.

On my first post-9/11 trip to the US, I was disgusted by the security measures at my departing airport in Düsseldorf, Germany. But compared to the arrival at JFK, it was a fucking breeze. Heavily armed guards on an airport? As if we landed in bloody Beirut.

We traveled in a group of four and one of us, a French of Tunesian heritage, was snatched and detained in a backroom for three hours while the rest of us where searched thoroughly and stripped of all electronic equipment (notebooks, mobile phones, MP3 players). They made an image of the only unencrypted HDD and kept the other three notebooks. They were mailed to our home addresses four months later. All the while we were barked at and ordered around. Now, all four of us spoke English rather well and were well dressed, so I can't even imagine what it's like for many others.

Your DHS demands more information about me in advance to any flight than my own bloody mother knows. And that's from a country that is part of the Visa Waiver Program. Fuck, crossing the intra-German border prior to '89 was more pleasant than travelling into the US as a foreigner. Biometric passport, Orwell would be proud.

Oddly enough, the Travel Promotion Act, intended to lure visitors back into the US, aims to impose a $10 fee upon entry into the US. That's some fucking logic.

Edit: "Data helps prevent crime before it happens. Smarter public safety for a smarter planet." <<-- that's an IBM info tablet on airports and again, Orwell would be proud.

np. The world must know Beirut!
