D. Fard, and that Fard's most prominent follower, Elijah Mohammed, is not dead but actually flying around in a UFO somewhere. Malcolm X (Shabazz), the most well-known NOI member, repudiated NOI and became a "real" Muslim after making his pilgrimage to Mecca. Check out the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation_of_Islam" REL="nofollow">Wikipedia article</A> on NOI for more info.<BR/><BR/>Franklin: I love, love, love your title. <BR/><BR/>Much better than the hideous joke on the same theme made by Sydney's rival Betsy Gilhooley in "Dykes to Watch Out For": "Sic transit gloria Tuesday." <BR/><BR/>Anyway, this does sound like a horrible commute and you have my full sympathy. <BR/><BR/>I once saw a person get their backpack caught inside the subway doors while their body was outside. Wearing the backpack. <BR/><BR/>The train started to leave, and the person was screaming and running sideways/backwards, and everyone on the platform was shouting "STOP! STOP!" Fortunately this made some impression on the driver, so the train was stopped and disaster was averted, just as the person lost their footing and was about to start being dragged. <BR/><BR/>All I'm saying is, it could be worse. <BR/><BR/>xoxobirdfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375896388806726010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1134494681461365542005-12-13T12:24:00.000-05:002005-12-13T12:24:00.000-05:00I am totally stealing Aiden from Hyde Park's rejoi...I am totally stealing Aiden from Hyde Park's rejoinder to evangelists.

This threw the man off his game, and he was so flustered, if I had tried a little bit, I think I could have converted him.<BR/><BR/>I have seen, I believe on KnitPicks.com, little project bags that hold little more than a skein of yarn and a cable needle -- they hand from the wrist. <BR/><BR/>What would you think about organizing a knit-in for male knitters in Chicago?
