  • A tribute to Kibbeh Nayyeh

    Joking aside, Kibbeh Nayyeh is probably the best Lebanese food selection, and is best made at the southern villages of Lebanon.

    LYRICS:

    I went downstairs to the fridge
    looking for some kind of dish
    maybe kabob or some riz
    but you were in my way

    So that is when I tried
    to reach to the other side
    to maybe get spinach pie
    but you were in my way

    Meat overflowing
    ripped leaf mint was showing
    olive oil a-flowing
    I like where this is going

    Hey, I just met you
    and this is crazy
    but I want to eat you
    kibbeh nayeh

    Hey, I just met you
    but you look tasty
    I’m gonna eat you
    kibbeh nayeh

    I don’t know how long it’s been
    that you’ve been there in the fridge
    I do not want to get sick
    cuz you were in my way

    Because you’re raw and not fried
    don’t want to get E coli
    because then I would have to die
    cuz you were in my way

    Meat overflowing
    ripped leaf mint was showing
    olive oil a-flowing
    Appetite is growing

    [CHORUS]

    Before you came into my life, I wasn’t so fat
    I wasn’t so fat. I wasn’t so so fat
    Before you came into my life, I wore the small pants
    and you should know that I’m getting so so fat.

    Reminds me of the Lahme song

  • Nemr & Jay Wud – Lebanese internet the song

    As Nemr puts it, the song is a harrowing tale of love, loss, tragedy, and rebirth!

    The guitar man is Jay Wud by the way, you can check his Facebook page here, and of course Nemr’s page here.

  • LBCI falls victim to the Facebook Inshallah button joke

    You probably have heard in the last few days the joke about a new button being unveiled by Facebook to the Arabic market to allow the users in the region to respond with “Inshallah” to event invitation they receive. The joke was started by a parody website The Pan-Arabia Enquirer, and unfortunately the LBCI website fell for it! Check the article they posted here. (I expect them to delete it soon)

    Following the opening of its office in Dubai, Facebook has revealed the first of what it claims will be many alterations to the social media site tailored to the local Arabic market. As of next week, users across the Middle East and North Africa will have to opportunity to respond with ‘Insha’Allah’ to an event invitation, along with the usual ‘Join’, ‘Maybe’ and ‘Decline’.

    “This was the result of several focus groups across the region,” said Facebook Arabia’s Regional Solutions Manager, Majid Johnson. “Adding an ‘Insha’Allah’ button for Facebook events was by far and away the most popular request.”

    Facebook Arabia also announced plans to introduce a ‘Platinum Upgrade’ specifically for GCC markets.

    “This was another big winner in our focus groups,” claimed Johnson. “Facebook Platinum is going to be our premium option for the more exclusive social media user. It’s going to come with a significant signing on fee, but will offer five-star services, such as a bespoke wall and 24-hour status concierge facility, along with space for just 50 members at one time.”

    Facebook Platinum is expected to launch this November.

    Absolutely priceless!

    Thank you @tinkeyeh

  • Shit Lebanese say about football

    This video is made by the awesome Anthony Semaan. Make sure to check his blog over at The Football Supernova.

  • Straight to the point!

    Wouldn’t be awesome if people spray painted similar messages every time the government does a lousy job?

    Is this Nahr El-Mot bridge by the way? Since that’s the bridge everyone complains about…

  • Funny headline of the day

    It looks like some people are quite happy about the turbulent situation in Lebanon and the warnings that were issued by several Arab countries regarding visiting the country.

    According to The National, some GCC wives are satisfied that their husbands won’t be able to visit Lebanon this year and peek at the beautiful women here!

    “This is one of the best summers” in a long time, one of my Emirati friends told me recently. She, like many Arab women, would get annoyed at what she called “buddy bonding” – guys-only trips to places like Lebanon. “My husband will not be going with his male friends to Lebanon and I feel so happy about it.”

    The husband was quick to reply: “Well, if you want mountains, Lebanon has them. If you want beach, Lebanon has it. And it doesn’t hurt that wherever you look, you see beautiful women. A bonus for the eyes.”

    In retaliation, the wife said she will be heading to Sweden this summer. Source

    And that would of course mean one thing, more “beautiful women” for us who live in Lebanon!
