Fate of Yale Talib to be revealed

I’m loath to offer my prediction, but the photo in the extended entry certainly does give me pause.

Keep an eye here for the breaking news.

  1. Dan Collins says:

    Probably wasn’t accepted to pledge Zeta Psi.

  2. TODD says:

    I bet he’s in. Just what the Academia at Yale drools over, an anti American Islamofasicst

  3. Dan Collins says:

    BTW, did Deb Frisch blogroll Protein Wisdom yet?

  4. Jeff Goldstein says:

    I don’t think so.  Though I’m pretty sure she’s spit rum and blown Cuban cigar smoke over my picture while cutting the throat of a live chicken.

  5. Dan Collins says:

    Well, yeah.  But at least she’s not something ridiculous like a Kristian.  Or a Joo.  Or a Zoroastrian.

    BTW, is there such a thing as Joodoo?

  6. Some Guy in Chicago says:

    BTW, is there such a thing as Joodoo?

    don’t think so, but there is Joojitzu

  7. Just Passing Through says:

    BTW, is there such a thing as Joodoo?

    Sure.

    ‘Joodoo today?’

    ‘Nuttin. Joodoo?’

  8. XBradTC says:

    Don’t even get me started on”Joomanji”

  9. TODD says:

    Or, joos your daddy?

  10. Mark says:

    He’ll get in, and then get a sweet work-study gig with the New York Times. He’ll be personally mentored by Bill Keller.

  11. Dan Collins says:

    Okay.  I’m sorry I asked.

  12. wishbone says:

    Volunteers?

    Okay, joo and joo and joo.

    But not joo.

  13. Dan Collins says:

    Errrr . . . so how about that Taliban guy?

  14. brooksfoe says:

    Jeff, I loathe your predictions, but you are either loath or loth to offer them.

  15. JooDoo is either:

    1) A particularly wiry hairstyle, or

    2) The stuff they make bagels out out

  16. Dan Collins says:

    And then I like, wox wroth!

  17. Jim in Chicago says:

    Judging by the pic, the guy clearly bleeds Yale blue.

    Should come in handy at the Harvard game too. If Yale goes down big he can always blow up the Crimson enemy.

    So, yeah, I think they should let him stay.

    TW: blood. I kid you not.

  18. Major John says:

    I swear I saw that exact outfit on a guy in Mahmud-i-Raqi, Kapisa Province in September 2004.  Was it some Yale frat on a roadtrip?

  19. Dan Collins says:

    Keep an eye here for the breaking news.

    If this is some kind of Polish joke, Goldstein, I’m going to be really mad.

  20. Toby Petzold says:

    That dude looks like he could be a member of the 1972 New York Knicks.

  21. Great Mencken's Ghost says:

    Ali Ki Bosh, the Taliban Frosh, could aiming too low here.  I understand the Univerity of Colorado may have a tenured position opening soon.

  22. Mullah Omar says:

    Keep an eye here for the breaking news.

    Oh, I get it – NOT FUNNY!!

    TW = “see” REALLY NOT FUNNY!!

  23. McGehee says:

    Joodoo

    Joojitzu

    Joomanji

    Man, you guys. That’s some bad joojoo.

  24. stoo says:

    Joo betcha it’s bad, McG.

  25. OHNOES says:

    Where IS Deb anyway?

  26. Mac Buckets says:

    My thoughts on this thread, and most things in life, can best be summed up by Woody Allen’s Love and Death:

    Sonya: That is incredibly jejoon.

    Boris: That’s jejoon?

    Sonya: Jejoon!

    Boris: You have the temerity to say that I’m talking

    to you out of jejoonosity? I am one of the most joon people in all of the Russias!

  27. Defense Guy says:

    Though I’m pretty sure she’s spit rum and blown Cuban cigar smoke over my picture while cutting the throat of a live chicken.

    Or as actus would call it, tuesday evening.

  28. ahem says:

    I think she got scared away.

    tw: blood.

  29. JLS says:

    Okay, joo and joo and joo.

    But not joo.

    In junior high school, Mrs. Ortega used to use exactly this pronunciation when she called on people in Spanish class.  A Jewish friend of mine actually filed a complaint of anti-semitism against her, having never noticed that she wasn’t just pointing at him and saying “Joo”, she was doing it to everybody.

  30. twolaneflash says:

    Come on, you Yalies, sing together now

    Joola Joola Joola

    Boola

    When we’re through with these poor dhimmas

    They will holler Boola

  32. Sean M. says:

    I’m going out to the lobby to get me some Joojoobees.

  33. Paul C14 says:

    Freakin’ insensitive Taliban. The dudes the only one who saw Star Wars and they’re running him out of the village for emulatin’ Joobacca. They just don’t get the whole Wookie thing.

    Maybe when he told them he was changing his name from Mutazz to Jooie, he pushed it to far.

  34. Just Passing Through says:

    I think she got scared away.

    I do miss her rapier wit and insightful observations. Or was that someone else?

    Anyway, could be that when Jeff refused to ban her she lost interest. She gave the impression that getting banned was a big part of if not her entire agenda. Lots of little telltales.

    Then again, there might have been a family intervention and she’s cooling her heels for a bit up on the locked door floor at County General. If so the short bus will drop her off here again bye and bye.

  35. I think she got scared away.

    huh, so, uh, how long do we have to wait before I can claim my 75 cents?  i’m pretty sure i won… yeah, that’s it.

  36. JFK says:

    I’m a little disappointed that Taliban man apparently has been rejected.  Seems he’ll never be inducted into Skull and Bones and bring glory to Yale in a bid for the White House one day.  Sure, he’s ineligible to stand for election, but he could have used a hijacked airliner or rented Ryder, as I seriously considered doing Thanksgiving ‘04.

  37. MarkD says:

    Is that “Joo” pronounced “who” in the Spanish manner of Jesus?  Or is it a “Y” sound?

    Because I can still astound my kids with all the useless things I know.

  38. Lets all go to the lobby

    Lets all go to the lobby

    Lets all go to the lobby

    to get ourselves some jooce

    “Remember folks, a day without Florida orange Jooce is like a day away from Miami beach….”

  39. Mark – the “Y” sound is reserved for Polish Safardic Ewes…..

  40. – “Mexican Leftist Obrador calls for Saturday protest in response to Presidential vote defeat”…. What is it with Liberals and elections?…Maybe they should just forget about Democratic votes, and go back to the only way that seems to work for them, government overthrows by force….

  41. Dan Collins says:

    Comment number 58 at the Scrutator link to this post:

    <blockquote>I hate to say it but anyone who had sex with GOP is biased and shouldn’t be allowed to vote. All those who had sex with Jimmy/Frank/GOP4Me/Goopy/Jeff Goldstein should not be allowed to vote.<

    Hmmmmm.

  42. Great Mencken's Ghost says:

    Third grade student at a third rate university.  Seems a perfect match, sadly enough.

    maggie — If you one, don’t forget to claim your free week of Deb-trolling for your blog.

    Okay, who had second place?  Speak up now!

  43. Dan Collins says:

    Mexican Leftist Obrador calls for Saturday protest in response to Presidential vote defeat

    Labrador: Too Big for a Yanqui Lapdog

  44. Great Mencken's Ghost says:

    Since poor Ali Ki Bosh, the Taliban Frosh, has no future at Yale, where do we think he might wind up?

    Columbia?

    Duke?

    Berkeley?

    Colorado?

    Vassar?

    West Point (very briefly)

    Maybe it’s time to start a new pool?

  45. Great Mencken's Ghost says:

    To pay his way, maybe he can get a job writing those Reuters/AP headlines for the Yahoo! homepage.  He’s already got the T-shirt…

  46. – I didn’t get in on the bet Ghost….McGPeehe gave me a tip (cow tipping), so I went the “bait” route, offering her a brand new shiny Brass plated Cow bell, but so far shes playing it coy….

  47. Dan Collins says:

    GMG–

    Don’t you think the logical place would be the Guardian?  On the other hand, maybe he could take Andrei Codrescu’s place on NPR.

  48. – Make that McGeehe – Man my typing Sux-teh-oar today… n.e.e.d.c.o.f.f.e.e

  49. maggie katzen says:

    maggie — If you one, don’t forget to claim your free week of Deb-trolling for your blog.

    ooooh, great, that would double my audience.

  50. Dan Collins says:

    Jonathan Steele’s Guardian article doesn’t even mention what started this latest Israeli-Palestinian mess:

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1813447,00.html

    The poor Palestinians are being victimized again.  Pyonyang is being threatened again.  Brooksfoe will say something stupid about this, too.  Jeff won’t get an omelet today, either.

    Who’ll stop the rain?

  51. kyle says:

    Totally off-topic (apologies proferred):

    As baseball fans everywhere now know, deranged White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen named Mark Buehrle (9-5 3.86 ERA 51 K) to the AL All-Star team instead of Twins rookie phenom Francisco Liriano (9-1 league-leading 1.99 ERA, 94K).

    But there is time yet to right this awful wrong! Go <a href=”http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/index.jsp “ target=”_blank”>here</a>

    to vote for Liriano (and Nomar Garciaparra, an unforgivable omission from the NL ballot).

    Like the Dems say, vote early & vote often!

    We now resume our regularly scheduled programming…

  52. Major John says:

    Deranged and wearing the latest in World Series rings…

  53. – Concerning the story about the dare-devil that set a new land-speed record of 81 mph for rider lawn mowers, his girl friend replied on hearing the news: “Rah rah…. tell him when he gets done playing with his toys that the trash needs emptying, and the lawn is threatening to take over the house”…..

  54. McGehee says:

    Who’ll stop the rain?

    Al Gore… paging Al Gore…

  55. McGehee says:

    a new land-speed record of 81 mph for rider lawn mowers

    Which is great if your yard is 81 miles long and 42 inches wide.

  56. Swen Swenson says:

    TW: student.. You really want me to believe that was totally random? I don’t have anything intelligent to add to the conversation but that’s never stopped me before and I couldn’t pass that one up. cool smile

  57. – Or your front lawn is the Bonneville salt flats….

  58. brooksfoe says:

    I hate to agree with y’all, but that Steele piece was pretty stupid. Thank God for the Swiss? What is it that Steele thinks Europe can do in this situation? Stand firm in announcing that it stands firm? The Israelis will do what the Israelis decide to do. I think they’re blowing too much stuff up this time, and they have a habit of destroying any force which starts to become powerful among the Palestinians, which has contributed, along with Palestinian stupidity, to the fact that “Palestine” is an ungovernable nightmare. But the idea that European disapproval is going to have any meaningful input into Israeli security concerns is…yeah.

  59. Dan Collins says:

    Well, Brooksfoe, thanks for . . . um . . . hatefully agreeing with us all.  And I mean that.  I guess.

  60. McGehee says:

    I hate to agree with y’all

    You’re only doing it to make us question our own views.

  61. dt says:

    Someone please tell me… what is this guy still doing in this country?  How the hell did he get into this country in the first place?  Why has he not been deported?
