Change all those words to acronyms and it would be like reading an Army Times article. "IAW AR-600-600, if the SM is TDY while on TLA pursuant to their PCS, they are SOL."

Can someone please page Apu from the Kwiki-Mart for a translation? (I only dropped in on this thread because I thought HC meant Hillary@!)

Does anyone understand this article?

Its opacity is its charm. Two other examples:

Ooni faults reports on harassment of Ige, defends self

Oh my God, that is so funny. Such a deadly-serious sounding article, full of fury and 'harumphing,' and damn if anyone can make out what the hell they're talking about. My fits of laughter are not helping my chest cold...

Simple, women are not allowed to have darsan during ‘aarattu’ and they did anyway. Duh!

In the stromminating vigorator, there is certainly plubis to be scarified.

But the presence of such parbeatum sclayalaben is certain smorp for the flootang.

This is an excellent analysis, and might actually be the true one, except for one small, but hardly worth mentioning flaw. My wife pointed out, all the words in your explanation can actually be pronounced, which must be considered, since she is over fifty, and was not having darsan at the time, at least as far as I know.

Thanks for posting this. This is exactly the type of hard-hitting, breaking news that Free Republic needs.

"Change all those words to acronyms and it would be like reading an Army Times article. "IAW AR-600-600, if the SM is TDY while on TLA pursuant to their PCS, they are SOL.""

That I understand at about 85%.

I never paid any attention to Army regs, so therein lies the source of my comprehension gap.

Perhaps this post is another example of the vast gulf of understanding that exists between "non" and "active" recreational drug users?

Sure, that's what she says. You might ask her if she recognizes this guy:

Shockingly few replies to that one, and embezzlers suck funds from 'town of fruits.'

I think this paragraph sums it up well:

However, counsel appearing for the Kshetra Samrakshana Samithi argued that the idol taken in procession for 'Aarattu' in the River Pampa was the Lord Ayyappa himself, since his spirit had been invoked before it was taken for the dip. Hence women are not allowed to have darsan during 'aarattu.'
