I just got back from having a lovely dinner with the ever-lovable Ranting Sandmonkey, who's in Boston for a super-secret mission on behalf of a furtive Cairo-based Zionist/Masonic cabal of Islamo-reformists.

When I saw that 6' 5" blond-haired, blue-eyed Egyptian pull up on his camel and climb down in front of the restaurant, I could be forgiven for wondering how it is he continues to manage to blog anonymously. We strode to the front of the line waiting to be seated and announced, "We have blogs!" whereupon the king of the Egyptian blogosphere flashed some of that pyramid money and the waitstaff ushered us tout de suit to a choice table by the window, removing the plebeian couple who hadn't quite finished their meals yet.

Thai food, of course.

If you ever get a chance to meet the monkey of sand...don't miss it. A fine fellow! (And don't forget to check out his blog.)
