Imran: man.myth.legend.sufi.lover.fighter.punjabi.: Sausage Fest '08

Hi

This is an old, old post that's looong overdue. A guest entry by my man Zubair following a night where a friend - Faisal - invited us to eat a lot of zabiha food mashaAllah at the cost of him basically wanting to announce a major corporate takeover of him overthrowing his father-in-law's (FIL) meat business. MBN to use one's FIL, Faisal! But, seriously, it was a great event with AMAZING food (ribs, dogs - not actual kuthas so don't be excited Chaptu Farooq, burgers, etc.). May Allah reward the Raja/Khan family. Aameen.

And now to Zoobs guest blog entry:

Location: Underground Sausage Party…literally

Time: Post Isha/Pre-Tahajjud or for party-goers, post sushi dinner and pre-cover entry @ club

There was an invite that was blazing around amongst the Muslim elites (Computer Programmers, DBA’s, Data warehouse Experts, Systems Analysts, Sheesha Lounge Owners, TJ Maxx Board of Governors, and one IT auditor).

Imran and his brother Ali picked me up late at night and as I walked out my Parents mansion of a house, I noticed a one-headlight Corolla coming my way. Must be a meyman (Hindu turned Muslim-gujurati folks) way of conserving energy and saving battery power all the while helping the environment and lessening the carbon footprint. ASKB. (Allah SWAT knows Best).

Throughout the trip, I was amused by Ali’s constant use of his iPhone. It reminded me of his counter part – Mr. Blackberry himself, Farooq. More on him later INSH. Ali kept on talking to me about the fact that he lived in Madison and did not really hang out with Muslims. That is completely fine, it was expected considering he was Imran's brother. Mash, they are very upfront about being progressive. Mash I asked Ali, "So! When is your turn to get married" to which immediately Imran said, "Oh, did we just pass IE (Italian Express)?" Maybe that was his way of diverting my question through the window since he seems overly protective of his brother. Is he hiding something? I feel like he is…Ali does come a little bit shady…is he part of Mossad? Only time will tell. Let us carry on to the scene that $@#$ just explodes X’s 100. Enter….Underground Sausage Party:

As we pulled into the warehouse sector, we started spotting various groups of Al q like characters. Some of the signs of Al q types are: scruffy beard, wannabe urban attire and rugged for instant war-play practice, constant ramble about random NFL players all while saying repeatedly MASH Bears or INSH Falcons. Either way, I was surprised I did not see sheesha and hookah setup right outside the warehouse considering that if there are more than one Muslim in a group setting, the first thing to appear is a sheesha setup. I actually in fact asked Imran if there is a sheesha around considering he has the constant feeds from Google server (Farooq)….alas, no knowledge of such activity.

We passed by several 300 like Spartan looking facial hair monsters….some had their beards completely trimmed and lined up as if there was a contest setup from sharper image. One of the Spartan like personality was infact posing to look like Salahaddin himself from the movie Kingdom of Heaven. Mash, he now works at Allstate considering the war against the crusaders is over.

Some of the images from the event that need to be exposed for everyone to witness:
