Douma, The Lebanese Political Game
a Wixel Studios Production (Made in Lebanon)
Douma is a simple single player 2D fighting game. It pits the most popular current Lebanese Puppet Politicians against one another. You can select Nabih Berri, Saad Hariri, Michel Aoun, Walid Jumblat, Hussein Hussein, or Samir Geagea as your fighter, with your opponent randomly selected by the computer. The graphics are beautiful, and the special moves are hilarious. Enjoy! :)

i've realized that the best way to lose weight in lebanon is to go on an all fruit diet...
and with the abundance & variety of fresh fruits, you can do it with a smile :)
i had half a kilo (1.1 pounds) of jararang for breakfast => 0 calories
april is mawsam el jararang, akki dene, & lawz akhdar

hilarious and yet ingenious... some dude 'planted' turf right on gemmayze street...
(i presume as living art or something)
... midst a heated turf war right on gemmayze street!

You really couldn't make this up!
I LOVE THIS F***IN' COUNTRY

Sabah, the Famous Lebanese Singer - born in 1927 - has married once again at the ripe old age of 81!
Her first marriage was at the age of 19, just 3 years after the Independence of Lebanon (1943).
All I can say is wow! and Mabrouk!

so i got into a cab in the usa
said hello to the driver
who turned out to be lebanese
mid conversation he tells me he's heading down to lebanon soon
so i ask him, what's the occasion? family? business? que?
he responds with a, "i'm ashamed to say"
so i say, "do tell"
his response, "a politician bought me a ticket to go down for 3 days to vote in the na2abit el mhandsin elections"
he even offered to hook me up! problem is, once you're on the list you can never get off (kinda like hotel california's no checkout policy) funny thing is that the same policy applies to lebanese girls turned one-time prostitutes for a quick break (need money urgently or desperately) who find themselves being called up for duty until their glory days are over (you can't get off the list)
update - April 7 2008:
a friend of mine from saida just called me up to reaffirm the above anecdote. she said it's been going on for a while, with full planes chartered for that particular purpose...
oh and they are offering to pay for your registration in the syndicate (~1000$)

so this friend calls me up every day - on cue - to mumble the same words "only in this country", followed by a rant about some crazy thing he'd just seen or heard or experienced or stepped into...
... in homage to the wise dude, we've set up a new category: " Only in Lebanon"
this is the first post
