Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

I, for one, welcome our new bikini cheerleader overlords.
Mike
Hmm…. wonder if’n they need a photog for promotional material. Just fly me to China and back, takeout from the local McD’s, I’ll bring my own gear, and we’re good….
Nothing “new” about Bikini Cheerleader Overlords…they’ve been having that effect over our half of the species for a looooonnngg time….The Bikini just enhanced their ability to take over at greater speed.
Got to be sensitive to different cultures. Those Yemenites only ever see cheerleaders in burkahs…
Yeah. That is soooo bad …
Yumping Yemeni!
So, how were the opposition cheeleaders clad?
Actually, I don’t think they consider it an “excuse.” To them, it’s a reasonable explanation–there’s a strong strain of thought muslim and middle eastern culture that a woman is responsible for keeping a man from lusting for her (because his lust-inspired actions are beyond his control). In other words, the men have no responsibility for coping with the distraction of the females and have no experience being expected to do so.
So it won’t be “off with their heads!” when they return home?
May Allah burn my eyes out if I look at those bikini clad weeemen who have no shame and should be wearing a habib. oh man, they are hot. ok ok, may allah now burn my eyes out if I look at those weeemen one more time. ok ok ok, now I’m really serious, may allah burn my eyes. oh to he11 with it. Whaaaa? Game over?
Too bad Skippy has taken his toys and gone home. This appears to be his flavor of choice.
Huh? What? You wrote something? You blame bush? You sure they don’t shave?
What a pleasant surprise; China has either been cloning females or changed the policy regulating the number of allowable children.
A set each of quads and twins appears in the above photo.
Once they introduce blondes, the People’s republic is guaranteed toast!
“A set each of quads and twins appears in the above photo.”
You must be Chinese. They all look the same to me.

Lex,
Is there a hi-resolution — at least 1600×1200, please — version of that photo somewhere? I want to update my screen wallpaper.
Yeah, like you really wanted to keep yourself from hammering us with such innuendo….
To Hell with anything unrefined has always been my motto (H/T: Don Marquis).
I was reading archie and mehitabel just this morning!
So that’s their excuse??? Just like those Iranian UPT students we had to share our Stag Bar with all those years ago at Reese. Good Muslims only when their leaders are watching.
or on the mainland side of the Bahrain causeway.
These guys need to learn focus. Of course they’ve got a heck of a lot of sand to practice on down in Yemen. But they need to learn to focus on the court.
Reminds me of the time that Charles Barkley was playing in the NBA All-Star game and was chatting up one of the cheerleaders while he was on the court.
I don’t know, I think the man’s got a point. They’d distract my game!
Seriously, though, it’s a good point. In the Middle East women are semi-intelligent property. Men are not particularly responsible for their actions towards them – if they are caught out, it’s always the woman’s fault. And yet they have no lack of defenders on the left, who are supposed to be in the vanguard about these things. I guess their philosophy is “An enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
OK, time for a little intrigue — see Lex’s link to the story in the Telegraph, which refers to “he said” and “Mr. Mahfoudh added..”
Now, for the same story, from the Mail:
So, which gender Yemani team was it that was distracted?
Mayhaps Allah took more than his eyes for his indiscretions…
Well it would be difficult for them to admit to themselves that they may just – suck.
I am reminded of a certain scene in the movie The Replacements…
How do you play beach volleyball in a burka?
“How do you play beach volleyball in a burka?”
Not very well, apparently.
Thank you for making my Friday, Lex. That shot’s a keeper.
What a change – Anyone remember the days when all of China’s population dutifully wore their Mao suits?
George V.
Why, yes, Thank you, CAPT Lex. Thank you, indeed.
