Brickbat: About that Deal with Iran

Korea.net

In order to host a Beach Volleyball World Tour tournament, the Iranian government promised the sport's organizing body that it would allow women to attend the event. But when the event began, women were turned away at the gate.

"There have been misunderstandings throughout the day, and we have had to seek clarification," [FIVB spokesman Richard] Baker said, adding that the Iranian federation "has the best intentions but there are cultural issues".

The female fans were free to witness an alternate event happening down the street: the hanging of several teenage homosexuals.

Never trust anyone that won't allow you to drink beer or eat bacon.Two of life;s great pleasures.

[Mr Lizard]

Never trust a creature who has not passed thermodynamics I

[Adans smith]

Like Bill Gates apparently.

[Mr Lizard]

Actually he was at least smart enough not to waste money taking that course and many others

[Adans smith]

Yeah,but he thinks you can replace oil in 15 years. He's trying to be greener then your skin.

[Mr Lizard]

Ah yes I now recall hearing that on Prog Radio. In that case I standby my original statement.

You stooooopid mammals really should teach all of your hatchlings thermo, and basic plasma beam weapon safety (or whatever you twits call it.).

[MSimon]

In my nuke power class (US Navy cira 1965) thermo washed out 50% of the class. I got top marks. #1 Daughter took thermo in college. She got top grades. Lovely girl. Smart too.

Thermo is hard. Thus you get Bill Gate's insanity.

[Adans smith]

Wind and solar and unicorns ,oh my!

[spqr2008]

Themo was hard, but way easier once you have gas dynamics. It fit in so much better to my intuitive understanding.

[Suthenboy]

"...the Iranian federation "has the best intentions but there are cultural issues".

Well, he is half right.

[Radioactive]

...the Iranian Federation has the best cultural issues? Did I get the right half?

[Suthenboy]

Almost.

[d3x / dt3]

They meant well.

[Notorious UGCC]

Yeah, the thing about women's beach volleyball...sorry, I forgot what I was going to say.

[Adans smith]

+1 beach babes

[MSimon]

Son of a beach. THAT is a tasty link.

[egould310]

On my jog this morning, I'll run past at least one of those lovely ladies' homes. Can't wait for the summer beach volleyball camps to start back up. It does make the beach run so much more interesting.

[dantheserene]

If you like that, try a search on "women's beach life guard".

[Monty Crisco]

I'm starting to think that maybe Islam is NOT the feminist ideal of religion that has been purveyed to me....

[Suthenboy]

I think you have a misunderstanding of what the feminist movement is about.

[Lurker Kurt]

Islam was at the forefront of the feminist movement...

...about 1300 years ago.

It has slipped behind, lately.

[Tom Bombadil]

what
did
they
expect?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Agreements honored?

[Adans smith]

Ha,AH Ha ,oh,your cereal?

[Libertarian]

We can't trust them with cheesecake, but we're supposed to trust them with yellow cake?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Beefcake. It was men's volleyball.

[Libertarian]

Sorry. Notorious's link above distracted me.

[The Hyperbole]

How underhanded, these officials need to be served a set of spiked dinks, or otherwise bumped off, if you dig my point.

[Tom Bombadil]

Hans Blix should send them a stern letter.

[Suthenboy]

OT: Surveying the damage here. I guess I dodged a bullet. A tornado passed by just north of me yesterday evening. I was in town at the time and watched it on radar. Then I looked out the car window and saw one headed straight for me less than a mile away. Fortunately that one formed, did not touch down, and then dissipated very quickly. This morning around 3 am I looked out the window to see chairs and buckets and various junk flying around on the back porch. One of my cypress adirondac chairs is over 100 feet from the house. I see from the news not everyone was so lucky.

Heads up if you are on the east coast.

You sure it was a tornado? Maybe it was just Trump's campaign headed to the southeast for Super Tuesday.

[Lee G]

He's landing in Virginia Beach today. I expect torrential hairstorms.

[Radioactive]

all courtesy of the Iranian Federation...they have intentions

[Florida Man]

Iran has altered the deal. Pray towards Mecca they don't alter it further.

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

But Obama's deal was the starting point to opening them up!

'Misunderstanding' my ass. They intended this all along.

The naivete is palpable.

[dantheserene]

This sounds a lot like "negotiating" with North Korea.

[CreativePerks]

I really love watching volleyball and I don't understand why these could be forbidden. I have lots of friends that play volleyball and they are really nice people that train pretty hard to achieve performance. One of them begun a volleyball specific workout and he is really excited because he has over 200 exercise video and also a nice nutrition program. Here is their website http://reids-workouts.com/
