...It's the one year anniversary of 'Hilaliya.'

Back from a productive business trip, complete with a flu that I picked up a day before my departure to Kuwait.

Here are some cryptic clues (nothing too incriminating).

The new license plates are obviously mierda.

Is that the best our prison convicts and wardens could produce (I'm assuming our prison inmates make license plates, if they don't then I've obviously spent too much time living abroad - but let's assume they don't, then maybe they should)? But seriously, if you are going to produce a decent license plate you need several elements (in my humble opinion):

1. A local or geographic fixture (i.e. The Kuwait Towers - if that is unacceptable a drawing of a Hubbly-Bubbly will suffice; if that is unacceptable then a picture of a dead horse).

2. Decent Font (and it would help to have the English word: "Kuwait" in BOLD as well) and a tag line as well, you know how Florida has "Sunshine State," maybe we should have something like "Land of Broken Promises" or "Go With The Flow" under Kuwait.

3. One set of numbers - easier to remember so we can report that turd in the Hummer who almost ran over the senior citizen exiting Marina Crescent's Johnny Rockets.

As horrendous as the new license plates are, they are a tad better than these:

Thanks to our good friend and Godfather Don Veto - who was gracious enough to create a TCK banner - we can now access the TCK thread anytime (the banner is on the right).

So anytime any TCKer passes by and wants to blow steam or post about anything, just click the banner and keep the thread going.

Dear Friends,

Thanks for helping the Blog hit a new high: 9139 Unique Visitors might be small fry by other blogger standards but for a casual blogger such as myself, it's not a bad surprise. But the thing I'm most proud of is the fact we have visitors from 90 countries, truly a global blog ( I wouldn't have it any other way).

Gracias.
