    Fine, take away my points. I don't even like this game, anyway. No, you are.
    Shut up. I'm going home.



    Funny thing about Persian rugs when I was in Dubai. The people selling them kept saying, "Iran! Iran!" when they would show the rugs, proclaiming their authenticity as excellent rugs, I suppose. I mean, I did buy a nice runner for the upstairs hallway, and damn if it isn't an excellent, beautiful rug that feels amazing on bare feet.

    I remember thinking... you know... it hasn't been called Persia for a long stinkin' time, and yet we persist to call them Persian rugs.
    My culture is kinda crap sometimes. Ah well. At least I have a nice rug.

    How much did you pay for it? Real Persian rugs are hand-woven, take a long time to make, and are stupid expensive. Doesn't mean it's not a nice rug, but if it wasn't expensive it's prolly not a Persian.
    I just think we should suspend judgment on Boris until we have all the facts through an inquiry, police investigation, and parliamentary commission...then we should explode him.
    also,
    I'd like to be called Lord Poopy His Most Gloriously Excellent.

    It's about 2.5' x 6.5' in size and I paid about $100 US for it in Dubai.

    I mean... it's probably from Iran. The laws against deceiving customers in Dubai and other arab cultures are pretty steep.
