are you trying to hijack this thread? :-)

[Gamecock]

Wasn't my intent.

Better go find a local Warren thread! ;-)

I wonder if I could move into that mall and open a HajjCo store where I could sell cheap Chinese imitations of Buddy Mohammed or plastic bomb belts? If I could get a foot in the door, I might be able to open a Famous Dave's.

[Terriergal]

LOL!

I wonder what the Islamic subconscious had in mind when they chose that shape.

Catholics aren't allowed in Mecca

How do you flush it? Some kind of electric eye thing?

[KSoldier]

I am sure tourism there is expected to explode in the next few years.

-pun intended

"I bet you won't find any pork BBQ in that mall."

- It's funny you should mention that. Just last year, my financial adviser, Bombastic Bushkin, advised me to invest my life savings in a new, crispy pork rinds fast food outlet planned for the Mecca Mall.
