shah269 0 #8 June 16, 2009 My name is Shahram. My nick name is Shah. Usually I'm the only Persian on most forums and thus I was just asking if there were any other Persians here other than me.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

And the Tehran Hilton had fresh oysters on the menu... [sigh] Even since then, as a "Card-Carrying-Christian" I can still get a drink (MY Messiah turned water into wine.... AND consorted with immodest women!!.. Score!). Just make sure you don't get so drunk that you think it's worth discussing religion with the local fuzz!Mike.

TomAiello 26 #14 June 16, 2009 I remember when I was 4 or 5 years old, waiting up late (at least it seemed late to me) to talk with my grandparents on the phone. They lived in Teheran from about 1975 right up until the revolution. My grandfather got to make one call back to the States each week, and he alternated between his two children (my mom and her brother). So every other week I got to stay up late and get on this incredibly crackly phone connection to Iran. Then I remember watching the news and, through a little kids eyes, seeing my Grandpa walking off an airplane (it was the last plane of Americans out of Iran, and they had zoomed in on him deplaning, I think it was in Germany, because he was so obviously American--leather jacket, cowboy hat, cowboy boots). When he died in the early 90's, I inherited an old Peugeot moped with Farsi writing on the tires, which I rode to and from class for a while (I was in college at the time).-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
