Alright, time for me to pop my collars yet endegena in Hurricane Habesha and look straight in her kool lined eyes and give her a kiss from Teddisho:: No on the real, I am about to go meto gena all in again, I am reloading my shot gun, redoubling my efforts and about to give z Habesha community an arsenic laced gursha:: Ahun ahhhhh belew sewoch, here comes the first taste—I am sorry if my words will cause you to get a collective indigestion. But you will thank me later on when you realize just how DOPE this article is and through my words how I am about to expose some Habesha leboch in the process.

Alright sewoch, endet nachew? Melkam Arb, Happy Friday, I bet you are ready to get the weekend popping after a long week of working. I feel you boo boos (yeah I know that is a bit feminine, but I am making it masculine). Anyway, it’s that time of the week where I interact with my readers and see what we come up with together. I am sure to laugh my Qit off while reading their questions and comments and then laugh my Qit off again while responding—what can I say, I know how to make myself laugh.
Now before we get to the emails. Since this is an article inspired by Bill Simmons, let me take a quick attempt to be a sports pundit. My prediction for the Super Bowl is that the little blue giants (aka the New York Viagra) will lose to the New England More >

On a weekly basis, Bill would take questions and comments from his readers and then reply back with a wit and humor that would make me literally make me laugh my Qit off as I was reading the article. Grant it, trying to emulate Bill Simmons is a tall order—after all, Bill was a writer for multiple late night comedy shows. But More >
