Iraq has just defeated North Korea, 1-0, to advance to the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup of Nations soccer tournament. Baghdad was riveted to the match, but even if you weren't watching, you'd have known instantly that Iraq prevailed when the sound of celebratory gunfire and fireworks pierced the cold air.
Perhaps I should take it as a happy sign that the loudest booms one tends to hear in Baghdad these days are at the end of victorious soccer matches. But the soccer-crazed Iraqi fans' peculiar ritual unfortunately is no laughing matter. Three nights ago, when Iraq beat UAE, three people were killed in Diyala province in celebratory gunfire, which has become such a scourge that the Health Ministry has asked officials to ban the practice.
So just what does 'celebratory fire' sound like? I stepped outside our offices in central Baghdad tonight to record a bit of the excitement. Have a listen.
TO TO TO TO .....WE STAND HERE TODAY.....HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY LIFE.....

As the Trident website warns, “Do not open around family, friends and the neighbors down the street. They’ll all want a piece…” and with so many crave-able , long lasting flavors, who can blame them?

Rereading these words of Voltaire and Emerson today, I cannot but admire their wisdom and far sight.

It required a lot of of rinsing and spring water :) The orange notes of Peychaud’s were ultimately my favorite of the group. I think I'll have to make my own bitters next. Free Brothers makes a nice "specifically orange" bitters. Great Blog!

They have given them [homosexuals] unprecedented rights, so that your child can be exposed and introduced to lesbians. Now they say “if you discriminate against that, you’re going to jail”.We’ll discriminate, but we’ll discriminate in a way where we don’t get in trouble. The Muslim is a dentist, one of those people come, you want to take a big, big needle and stick it in his gums.

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
