Ari Siletz

This was Brilliant Ari!

Not only because of all the thoughtful compliments I collected! Except... I have never drank whiskey in my life. Now that I know it's dubbed "water of life", I should try it before I'm too old to digest the aabgoosht. 

I must say, when I first saw your blog I assumed it to be one of those which you write so that some people wouldn't go near it. Those of us who are bad in math this is. I even imagined there to be talk of matrix, probability and such... 

From now on Ari, I will read and re-read any blog of yours until I'm positively sure that I don't comprehend it. 

Monda

1. Had abgoosht (earthiness)

2. Arrived in the Star Trek beam (reaches goals through intuition) 

3. dream associates you with Fred blogs (Freud--without the 'U')

4. Drank whiskey ( whiskey means 'water of life' in old Irish)

5. Sat second from the end of the table  (Perhaps anyone too drunk in the dream to tileet her abgoosht couldn't be seated at the end of the table where she could fall off and ruin the puzzle.)

Ari et al! Please... So Which Am I?

I finally really got into this! Late in everything, story of my life... really.

Am I misconstrued in this scenario? Anyone out there please advise!

A few mess ups in your lovely presentations or logics (Hah!) 

Divaneh jan, There's 3 of me? Ft or real? oh you mean like Me, Myself and My super ego/Irene (was it?)  Loved that! LOL

Thanks Ari jaan, you are an amazing entertainer my friend :o)

dangerous

Dirty Angel with a screwdriver. Very dangerous.

"Stuff happens and some, one way or another, get stuffed"

Some dream symbols

2. Vodka Sandis: A desire to expose hypocrisy. 

3. Fred fan: The dream presence of Freud--without the 'u.'    

4. Sargrod fan: super human patience.

5. Speed bus: Starting an enterprize never suspecting what a ride you're in for.

6. Abgoosht: down to earth.

7. Kaleh pache: no fear of facing the ugly side of the world.

8. Donbalan: feeling vulnerable.

9. Star Trek beam: Reaches goals through intuition.

10. Screwdriver: We'll let Dirty Angel handle this one.

11.Tunisia: oops, barging into Nazy's my dream!

Dear Nazy, It is too late

I have heard from a trusted source; yolanda who was there to cheer AO up, that all the time that you guys were drinking and eating, Anonymous observer was sitting with yolanda on a table across from you guys in disguise and taking notes on all you ate and drank. Please read AO's next several blogs on a detailed report of what you guys did that night which was not "mored taeedeshan".

persian lady cocktail

thanks for that recipe nazy! a cocktail a day keeps the doctor away. it even complies with the codes of a proper symposium, i.e. that the wine must be drunk diluted in water, not neat. here the ice makes it 'kosher' for the setting. another necessity of a symposium is that a leitmotiv of the discourse or the action at the symposium must be eros or something erotic. and ARIstophanes is present. yes. nice connection.

of course i'm waiting for the analogy to fall apart at some point. or i'll have to deconstruct it. need to get my jollies too. i suppose the bill-paying. (although in other aspects, sophistry is a form of intellectual ta'arof).

Nazy Kaviani

Pfffttt!

So you are the person to tell us who had a legover and should have paid the bill according to proper ethics! 

If anyone else had, of course, there'll have to be a qualitative scientific experimental justification.

;)

"Stuff happens and some, one way or another, get stuffed"

Majid is no "Sandis Khor!"

...and I'm no Ferrari girl! I did have several "Persian Ladies," (pomegranate juice + good vodka + ice, shaken to perfect smoothness), but because I didn't want to look like Firouzabadi in a tux, I refused dinner and nibbled on some olives...so O.K. maybe I did test the donbalan on Sargord's friend's plate, but just one piece (please don't tell Anonymous Observer). Throughout the night, I kept switching seats and asking people their opinions about the Tunisian movement, or that's how I remember it, but I can't remember anything about what everyone had to say about it. The last thing I remember is begging the person who had been beamed into the karevansara to take me with him or her (can't remember which)...

Duh!

The obvious "truths" were all in the tale (mentioned several times, and you've got to be at room temperature IQ levels not to have noticed, but then I don't have a themometer at hand),

but the tell-tell is in the Ferrari tail of a tale. Whoever was in need of the Ferrari, according to Sire(s) Ari and Sigmund, was the one with the enlargement replacement and cough cough, glass-shattering  voluntary intermittant, "permancy" or viagra and some vicious savages might call for.

But not to worry. Throwing cash around, preferably in framed, colourful notes and figures,  is supposed to be as sexy as any peacock feather. But for how long? 

As for the bill. Duh. The one who got his billokolang in place, you know, the one who got laid. It's the best ethical solution, because that person won't even remember the bill until things turn sour , most probably the next day. Duh!

"Stuff happens and some, one way or another, get stuffed"

MPD, you have the truth!

I haven't seen the comments about the answers,,,

Nazy came with the Farrari.

Majid orderd the Vodka Sandis so he paid the bill.

آری جان ما همین چند روز قبل در ایالات متحده عمری کار بودیم،البته شما در کالیفرنیا تشریف دارید که به کار ما فعلا نمی‌خورد اما در زمان خودش سری بدانجا خواهیم زد.

آری خان تعارف می‌کنید،این امر را خوب میشناسید اما گفته شما را مزاح تصور کرده و لبخندی می‌زنیم که جنابعالی بزرگ منش هستید.

ما از معدود اعضای این سایت وزین هستیم که از کشورهای مختلف بدینجا وارد میشویم،اوایل به خاطر عشق بود و حال دوستی‌ و فردا دیگر چه باشد تنها خدا داند و بس.

آنانیکه از چهل بیشتر دارند ،جزو آخرین نسلی هستند که ایران را به درستی‌ به یاد دارند اما خلق و خوی ایرانی بودن را زود از دست میدهند و کم بینی‌ کسی‌ را که به عنوان مثال مثل ما به پارسی نویسی اهمیت دهد و خود را تمام و کامل از فرهنگ ناب ایرانی بدانند.هستند افرادی که به نثر و شعر اهمیت دهند اما قضیه در همانجا توقف می‌کند و امان از گلایه‌ها و کم لطفی‌‌های مرد و زن ! تکرار مکررات و ضرر و زیان به این و به آن !

خلایق مطالب ساده میخواهند و بیشتر آن چیزی که به سطح آید و از روح برنینگیزد،این به وضوح مشخص است که بسیار از استفاده کنندگان این سایت به دنبال چه هستند.در بسیاری از مواقع شاهد این هستیم که مطالب و ویدیو‌های فرهنگی‌ و ادبی‌ چطور در آخر مانده اند و دریغ از یک توجه !

از رفتار و برخورد خلایق هم که دیگر چه بگویم که خود شاهدی بر این ماجرا و افسوس که دل‌ شکستن باب روزانه اشخاص و قوت افراد شده است.بسیار به مانند گانگستر‌ها عمل میکنند و دسته کشی‌ میکنند و گاهی‌ به ما ‌ای میل هم میزنند و پرسند:فلانی در بلاگ آن فلانی هیچ منویس !!

خداوند را هزار کرور شکر که هنوز چند نفری مانده اند که میشود به روی آنها حساب کرد...

سخت است این روزها هر کسی‌ را از خود دانی‌ و هر دلی‌ را هم راز !

موفق باشید.

Hearty LOL Princess!

Ari Jaan:

Your $300 offer reminds me of the vouchers you received on your fictional trip to Israel!

The Art of Taarof

Ari, I still have to master the art of taarof. I am hopeless at it. A couple of years ago I was speaking to an older lady from Iran on the speaker phone. During our conversation (as they sometimes do) she said, "Elaahi ghorbounet beram, azizam." So I said, thank you. My sister, who was sitting next to me, hit me over the head and whispered, "You idiot! Aadam migeh khodaa nakone!" :) I alway panic a little bit when I have to speak with people in Iran, as I can't quite keep up with their taarof.

Divaneh jaan, That's the price you pay when you show up in Ari's dream and order  "a strange new concoction called vodka sandis."

MPD jaan, you might want to try a pen and a piece of paper. I can assure you it will be much faster.

On the other hand, maybe I like the psychological interpretation just because it talks about ravenous sexual appetites. 

What is going on here, dears?!!

Just noticed my name on Princess's comment, eating aabgossht!

I'm sorry I need to wait to read Ari's intriguing blog and all the witty comments in the morning (our time) 

In college I took Marix

I can't remember; I got an A or a B, but because of it I believe this is matrix problem with 5 rows and 5 columns, so it has 25 elements, some of them known, of course.  All I have to do is to buy a matrix book from Amazon.com, or maybe look up the lessons online, and then once I know what the heck it was that I studied decades ago, I'll set up the matrix and try to solve it for the unknowns, but meanwhile I have not read any of the comments that talk about solving the problem,  i.e. I have not read Princess's comment.

Or, maybe I'll use an Excel spreadsheet to see if I can solve it that may.  But either way, please check your blog for the next couple of years if you are interested to you whether I solved your puzzle or not.

Faramarz:

I'm thrilled! Let's push for it to be IC anthem. The Italian cowboy boots were designed by Carlo Pignatelli the designer for an Italian soccer team. He designs men's clothes, as well. The asking price for the boots was crazy, but I eventually got a real good deal on them when the store which had them went bankrupt. I tell you, they are beautiful. The leather is carved like crocodile skin. And when people ask me if they are crocodile, I say, yes! I don't want to disappoint them.

Uncle G., Iranian.com's Anthem

This song is a gem and definitely qualifies for Iranian.com anthem!

You fooled me with your Italian boots, you are a real cowboy!

Faramarz:

Watch Toby Keith's video of the song "I love this bar," if you haven't, yet. You may like it.

I love the resturant you guys ate at

Once you remember the name of it (pix above) please let us know, I will make a point in going there.

Divaneh what I do remember

Ari the Riddler

Ari jaan I have been working hard on this and I know that Princess have beaten me to it but still want to share my current findings with you to check and see if I am on the right path. So far:

- The person who ordered Koofteh Tabrizi ate Mirza Ghasemi.

- There were three Mondas who sat next to each other.

- The person who came with the Star Trek beam had long ears.

Just let me know.

Dear Princess:

That's what I call a logical mind. Your brain power however seems to have costed Majid a few bobs. More power to you.

Princess, taarof tradition

We all taarofed hard over the bill, but Firouzabadi was adamant that the vodka sandis customer had to pay.

شراب سرخ گرامی‌

حالا که با کمک پرینسس کمی‌ بیشتر خواب را بیاد می‌آورم، اتفاقا کلی‌ سر شام ذکر خیرت بود و همگی‌ میپرسیدند این گنجینه عرفان و ادب جامعه اینترنتی ما کی‌ به آمریکا سفر می‌کند و شاید بر بال سیمرغی خودرا برساند.
