Slog - Comments on Ultimate Home Meccaover http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/02/ultimate_home_makeover Man, I hate the Saudis--always oppressing women, beheading homos, and exporting their batshitcrazy brand of Islam all over the world--but I love what those crazy motherfuckers do with interior design. Every surface in that room, every last inch, is covered in marble, crystal, and bad, bad taste. Look at the furniture! You just have to gape in amazement and admiration. I mean, if you have all the money in the world and atrocious taste then you might as well just fucking go for it, right?

That's why you hate the Saudis, they remind you of your roots.

Hideous, tacky place owned by a Saudi. There was a clamshell bathtub, for crying out loud.

But hey, bill, if you like them so much go sign up to attack our soldiers.

Oh, please. If you'd seen the places I'm referring to, where Dan and my Grandparents lived when we were kids, you'd get the fucking joke.

And from 2 to 10 I lived in PA, and had many relatives in Easton, as well as NJ and NY (Old Greenwich). Sarcasm doesn't translate well onto the web.

They might be Saudis, I don't know. Realistically painted statuettes of maidens riding dolphins, faux-Greek columns, that sort of thing.
