BS in America (so you say) and are impressed by and support the actions of an anti-iran regime.
Is it any wonder I continue to ask:
"What's your story man" - are you for friggin' real?
PS, ever thought of calling the Iranian interest section in DC and asking them for a job in the ministry of this and that in the beloved government you so vehemently defend? I am sure they would not say NO, but your islamic knowledge must be impecable. No need to know anything about Iran and her history (which you don't anyway, of course).

Thanks DK

by Faramarz on

The Shah clips and the Iran Air / Mehrabad ones are priceless. Thanks for digging up the fond memories.

Back then, British Airways was called BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corp.) and leaving on a BOAC flight to London was so impressive!


Sargord Pirouz

Well, Darius, in a past

by Sargord Pirouz on

Well, Darius, in a past comment I have conceded that every once in a while I get a kick out of the 70s time warp. How couldn't I? I lived and studies in Tehran at the time.

But I admit, the amusement is rare.

Most of the time I find the time warp boorish and repetitive. To an extent, it's typical of some middle-aged folks, only worse among certain elements of the middle-aged Iranian diaspora who unrealistically content themselves with the most fantastic delusions of how it never was, and will never be again.

Back in the 70s, I used to get a kick out of the way my Iranian relatives used to pronounce "Hilton."

They pronounced it something like Hil-tonn-eh. The extra syllable always cracked me up.

MAD MEN & Rubicon ;)

by 13th Legion on

Great post DK…I personally don’t watch a lot of TV any more but have a 2 favorite shows that I am hocked on: MAD MAN is on top of my list, wonderful storey line, cast and crew, also” Rubicon” is another, if you haven’t already I recommend you look it up, I think you’d like it ;)

Rubicon is an American television series created by Jason Horwitch and produced by Henry Bromell that is broadcast on the AMC television network. The series centers around an intelligence analyst at a national think tank called the American Policy Institute (API) who discovers that he may be working with members of a secret society that manipulates world events on a grand scale.

IRAN is one of the frequent topics in this show.
