Happy Ramadhan

saucyminx · 09-23-2006, 06:50 AM

It's the beginning of a new month in the Islamic calendar, and also marks the fasting month starting tomorrow.

So, wishing a Happy Ramadhan to all of you.

And a happy Ramadhan to you! How do you manage the adjustment from eating during the day/sleeping during the night to doing completely the opposite?

Hammerite · 09-23-2006, 07:27 AM

i think it would rule to have loads of people over evry night for a big eating session.
which, unless i'm wrong, does actually happen.
am i right?

Wow thanks Tab, the month of 'lets get along'. coolness

Stoofa · 09-23-2006, 05:23 PM

I think Ramadahn sounds really great! Way better than Lent.

Squinky · 09-23-2006, 05:53 PM

Happy Ramadhan!

As a Baha'i, I fast for nineteen days every March in a similar fashion, so I sorta know what it's like.

***tabacco*** · 09-23-2006, 07:22 PM

Do you at least get to be sarcastic?

Intrepid Homoludens · 09-23-2006, 07:27 PM

Dang, it lasts for a month?

Why cawn't Christmas last that long for us pathetic Christians? Especially the 'off from work' part?

From what I remember from various history classes, when christianity was really big, it had like over a hundred days of vegetarianism, and maybe half as many days of getting drunk off your ass.

***tabacco*** · 09-23-2006, 08:08 PM

At the same time?

Intrepid Homoludens · 09-23-2006, 08:33 PM

Great. Nothing like a God-fearing drunk vegetarian.

Yes, but only if said sarcasm is directed toward web programmers.
