No Idea Why

I've decided to go into the movie poster designing field.

I see you've finally discovered MS Paint.


Congratulations.

Girl, I hope this is not a serious decision! No offense, but I doubt you'd get very far. ;)
This better not be what the job interview was about.

Rise Of The Ducks sounds like the next movie in Disney's "The Mighty Ducks" franchise... the picture of course throws that theory away since you actually have a duck with a gun.

Keep it up Asmaa. I believe in you.

Salam Asmaa,

I don't know why I'm posting on your blog seeing as how I'm talking to you over MSA as we speak. You wanted me to post so here it is... like I said before, your drawing is amusing and the only reason I'm saying this is because your Egyptian and we're supposed to be nice to Egyptians. Will I see you on Monday on Queens? Cheers, fr:)

That's MSN*... and we're talking about the MSA... all is well, I'm heading to bed now, sweet dreams fr:)

Asmaa said...

Yes fr, it's a pleasure to be speaking with you about MSN over MSA. errr MSA over MSN. Now I'm confused, thanks a lot.

My drawing is NOT amusing, it is diabolically EVIL.

Ah, the deep (and shallow) thoughts of a twisted and diabolical mind. There are a series of unsettling undercurrents to this seemingly childish indulgence in Microsoft Paint. First, I call your attention to the incessant focus on otherwise 'happy' objects (ie duck) morphing into maniacal killing machines. Case in point: killer teddy bear strangling anime child. I have also never encountered a duck on steroids. I'll bet this duck can no longer get off the ground after its performance enhancing drug use. It can now only waddle around oppressing naked stick men. Notice the ducks size compared to the hapless slightly potbellied homo sapiens about to get smoked. Perhaps I should not mock the individual who seems to not have been graced with a nose, ears, or even clothes, as the mere sight of a duck packin' the heat would be enough to reduce me to a babbling idiot. The over-glorification of the rat-a-tat-tat is another somewhat disturbing feature of this 'ad'. In this case, the size of that fo'fo' is certainly cause for concern, although it does fit well with the graffiti-like scrawl of 'Rise of the ducks'. As if Toronto hasn't seen enough gun violence. Perhaps the saddest thougth is that Asmaa has in the past - believe it or not - expressed some form of affinity with ducks. She has, in fact, indicated that she sees herself as a duckling. It is thus difficult to not take this thinly veiled threat frontin' as a 'movie poster' as cause for serious concern. We have been sufficiently warned.

Umar said...

wow
someone had fun with the dictionary and thesauras

Asmaa said...

Only Asma believes in me :(

Duly noted, you have a couple of interesting theories there. Yes I have expressed an affinity with ducks in the past. I didn't connect it with the violence of this duck, but it must be the repressed that's seeping out of my brain through this blog.

Umar, the sad thing is that I'm pretty sure that "duly noted" did not use a dictionary and thesaurus. Besides, only one person other than me would use the word "diabolical". Haha!

i have much reason to believe that these violent inclinations are linked to asmaa's resentment of, among other things, the following:
a) that she was incapable of colouring grapes individually in kindergarten
b) that she once got her ear pinched for not doing her homework
c) that it has been pointed out rather sufficiently with points a and b that the nerd image she paints for herself is but a fraud - a last attempt, perhaps, to fit in with an identifiable sub-culture of sorts
d) that she no longer retains control of the office

oh man, i have much reason to believe that i may be the depicted stick man . . . Lord help me!

Asmaa said...

Okay, listen, no one could colour grapes individually in KG except you. AND you're the reason I got my ear pinched to begin with. AND you know that I have ultimate control over the office. bah!

You, the stick man? Perhaps...ah the repressed is revealing itself once again.

And I'm only violent towards those who deserve violence. Oh yeah.

The whole colouring grapes individually thing is the most vivid memory I have of a *certain* person in (actually it was) senior kindergarten. Asmaa, you better know who I'm talking about.

yo, you're so hired... Hollywood needs you!

(That's quite a novel idea for a movie, btw)

Ameera said...

Asmaa, isn't 'confuzzled' a word not listed in dictionaries? You've used it in your profile! I'm asking because I thought I was the one who invented it? :S :P

Asmaa said...

sara, yes, I'm well aware :D

who-made, thank you for your undying support.

Ameera + Ahy, you know, everyone claims to have made up the word "confuzzled". The other day my brother's like "you know the word confuzzled? I made that word up." Hahaha.

Ameera said...

Really...! :S Somebody needs to get a patent for this one!

I guess I need to come up with a new one... is 'scrumplicious' already taken?

( Scrumplicious = scrumptious + delicious )

Asma said...

BA A HA HA HA HA HA HA OH SO FUNNY!
