short greetings before you fly back to school or home!

They are running to please you!

I had imagined…that

I had imagined always the past and modern Arabic Sheikh when it came to smoking hookah in certain ways in my head.(pronounced like “Shachk”)soft “a” or soft “e” depending where in the Middle East you come from.

When a Sheikh wanted a special hookah all he would have to do in the past was to order a servent to rummage through his wide assortment of prizes and gifts given him over the years by friends

¬†(or foe), admirers and other tribal leaders.

There would be gold plated hookahs, ¬†narghilas with precious jewels inlaid, pearls, especially etched and engraven and so.

And today in modern times, it must be a higher class hookah they buy or recieve as gifts. As is known in many Arabian countries, as well as Pakistan, Afgahnistan, India, parts of China¬† and more ¬†the whole family sits down after¬†the evening meal ¬†to smoke together.And what would the modern Sheikh smoke? With today’s modern amenities and world trade not in slow ships of the past in the Far East only, but the possibilities of ordering any jewels or metals from all over the world by plane including the beautifully handblown and cut glass of Belgium and Czhechia oonly money is the problem in buying the best of all rich worldly hookahs.

How about this beautifuly made Lebanese modern hookah?or these Lebanese (not gold, but if you have the dough-its-good-to-go!)Again, fit for a Prince,King or Sheikh$$$.

But I was only fooling myself! These 48 karat gold or jeweled hookahs 4,5.6.7 feet high are like your idea of a …..mini hookah.

I’ve heard of custom made hookahs for theArabian Princes built into the¬† side of swimming pools, gigantic card tables for 40 people of real TeakWood ¬†from Asia with a built-in narghilah for each of the 40 card players.

Pool tables¬†¬† ¬† with built in hookahs. (Smoking allowed only between shots of course).The sky is the limit. Built into the bedside,¬†¬†into the water spa,¬†¬†¬†¬†¬†¬† limosine,¬†¬†¬†¬† , yacht multi-media complex.

Okay you probably aren’t an Arabian Sheihk

or¬† even a friend of one…

Just one of the regular guys like me

Who knows ? You or you woman might both grow up one day to be President of the United states of America and then you will have the last laugh!!!

EGGNOG shisha?

¬†recipes to make eggnog :

http://coffeetea.about.com/od/eggnog/Egg_Nog_Recipes.htm

Wow, I got this recipe from a friend. “Eggnog” flavoured hookah session!

1)Take an exotic shisha like cinnamon,cloves, mint etc.

2)fill your water bottle 2 parts water & ice

3)1 part EGGNOG, remember that too much of the thick mixture with eggs and milk will bubble up into your stem if you add too much-believe me…you’ll be drinking weak watered down eggnog¬† thru your hose if you add too much. Make sure your liguid level is lower than you normally use with just H2O

4) you are ready to smoke-providing you have coalsRemember what President Clinton¬† used to say :”Its the economy,stupid”.

Xmas

I’d like to mention that I am¬† always writing this forum/blog in Israel where I live between the cities of Bethleham and Hebron.

I live between Bethleham and Biblical Hebron

We have had the very rare experience of 4 very strong earthquakes in this area.

I lived in the Galilee in a city ruined twice completely by earthquakes for 26 years.

The ones this last week were much stronger than I ever felt up north in the Galilee. Here I felt the shaking each time for about 7 seconds each time! Thank G-D no one hurt .Sign? Everything is a sign from G-D, question is if we go off the deep end and make wild interpretations.

I will not bother you with my own personal feelings about these earthquakes-but I see them as for good!

Today’s Bethleham :

I have been there a number of times since 1968.Today it seems that the majority of houses are owned by Muslims who have been buying property there for years.

¬†New Years

2007?so nu, what happened?

Remember what is written in the Torah :

“A man takes ¬†1¬† ¬†drink and he becomes happy to see his friends and serve the Lord his creator.¬†¬† 2 ¬†drinks¬† and he becomes angry at his friends and the Lord his creator.¬†¬† 3¬†¬† Drinks and he acts like a monkey”.

Or as Lou Reed the artist sings¬† quoting again the Bible “You are going to reap just what you sew”.!!

Hookah 1

Don’t inhale (ever) when laughing

I love to watch or hear funnyskits especially the English Great-Britian humour from “Hugh (Laurie)”,Monty Python’s Flying Circus” but also very old Woodie Allen stand ups from the 1960’s.

So when I listen or watch I DON”T SMOKE HOOKAH. Or I just choke.

Watch how it happens on this video (looks like Hawaii)

Pretty lady¬†:

Wee young lad smokes hookah

This child looks 3 so of course he’s much better. In Arabic the guy filming him says “Okay, start”,” now a bif toke” “Great” “look at the camera”,”Thru the nose,now”.

Here is¬† a great hookah vid.Animated 3-d cartoon of none other than the Hookah-Smoking cattipiliar with Donovan singing a bit. (I have hated all his songs since I was 15 in 1968).

But the video is nice.
