[concerned about politics]

He hasn't been seen wearing a black and white "turbin", has he? After all that poppy smoking, people get a little strange.

[PoisedWoman]

I'll take January 8th, Elvis's birthday.

[PoisedWoman]

Angelo Petrico, a size XXL ? large for such a lean-looking man.

Does Angelo Petrico make children's underwear? Size XXL toddler? With room for Pampers inside.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Another bump! ;-)

Even if I did have Bin Laden's dirty skivvies, I don't think I would want to brag about it.

I guess not! LOL!!!

[Phil V.]

Do you know how to interrupt a Taliban bingo game?

B, fifty two . . . . B, FIFTY TWO! . . .

[pubmom]

Why am I having a horrible vision of Tim Curry?
This is not good.

[smith288]

[kingh99]

"His bodyguards lived here with him. They slept in the mosque.."

That's all I got out of the story.

All right, here's the up-to-date list for the Osama Paki-Pool. Plenty of open dates, so flag me if you want in.

If you're not sure what this is about, check out this link from a thread posted by Travis McGee on October 25th...

Will Osama Appear In Pakistan?

The operating theory is that Osama bin Laden has had a plan all along to show up in Pakistan, have himself declared the "Imam al-Mahdi" (a long-prophesied Islamic savior-figure), and start a civil war in an attempt to gain control of Pakistan's nukes.

Sounds crazy?

So is he. Crazy evil.

BTW, if he doesn't make it to Pakistan, we'll make this a "brought to justice" pool.

[Sabertooth]

That's all I got out of the story.

You didn't read between the stripes on the boxers...

The point of this story was to get the Osama Pool into "Breaking News."

The latest list is in post #51. Care to make a pick?

[Loyalist]

I'm betting on December 26.

He'll be some vulture's Boxing Day leftovers.

[mdittmar]

I'll take Dec.20th.

It would be a nice birthday present.

[FreedomFarmer]

Toothy;
My B'day is December 13th, so it's mine. If he's a crispy critter on the 13th, I'm buyin'.

Osama bin Laden's underpants were hanging up to dry in the bathroom of his house outside Jalalabad. They were striped grey and black cotton boxers, with a label reading Angelo Petrico, a size XXL ? large for such a lean-looking man. They may, it is true, have belonged to one of his bodyguards, sons or advisers who lived with him in a maze-like compound 20 minutes outside the town ? but I lifted them from the clothes line anyway, a souvenir from a place full of more sinister and deadly objects.

Kind of brings a whole new meaning to the phrase losing your shorts, huh? Literally. . .
Guess who?? (Add me to ping list when you figure it out)

[TADSLOS]

At this rate, we'll be seeing Osama's life story on A&E's Biography and Lauer's Headliners and Legends soon. Hopefully it will be posthumous.
