1. Sandmonkey? Seriously?

Isn't that a racial/ethnic slur?

2. That's what he calls himself. Listen to the interview. He obviously knows the meaning of irony. n/t

The references to Mahmoud are to Sandmonkey -- Mahmoud Salem.

6. Thanks a lot for that!

This thread has turned into yet another example of people just reacting to titles rather than seeing what's actually inside the thread itself.

7. Also yet anther example of
