The Iraqi Blogsphere is alive

There are a lot of activities happening on the Iraqi blogs that include not only many valuable posts but also enjoyable commenting discussions. That should make us all happy and proud.Therefore, I have to say, the Iraqi blogsphere is fully alive and showing healthy sign of growth that Abbas Howazin declatred at the Iraqi Blog Count:

We (Touta, Jeffrey and myself) were involved last night in a late lively discussion about writing an Iraqi sictom and here are three proposed outlines:

Touta:
I've outlined the plot already:
blonde (dyed) iraqi girl has to relocate to the marsh due to lack of living space in baghdad. There she falls in love (awww) and then suddenly goes blind (another awww). But love conquers all and through funny mishaps and heart wrenching scenes, she regains her sight, marries said love of life, and lives happily ever after.
Oh, and she visits the church, oops, Mosque every friday, where gossip is handed out, and she politely interacts with society.
Why do I get the feeling I'm going to be sued?

Jeffrey:
Touta, How about this idea for a sitcom called "Welcome Back, Khalid." Khalid and his family flee Baghdad for security reasons and then return a few years later only to find another family living in his house. Instead of asking the family to leave, they decide to join both families together, one Shia family and one Sunni family (kind of like "The Brady Bunch").
When the Shia kids spill juice on the floor, the Sunni father smiles and pokes fun at the Shia Dad, "Hey, can't you teach your Persian kids any manners!" Then there's the old grandmother in the corner in full burka whom the kids keep trying to sit on because they think she's an armchair (cue laugh-track).

Khalid:
Jeffrey, Shia Kids and Sunni father!
I don't fancy these names. We're all Iraqis. May be as a play it could teach people some thing about the strenght of togetherness. However, I started to write the firts lines of the Iraqi sitcom. The events supposed to take place between the Marshes and Al-Karada in Baghdad and I hope you'll enjoy reading it. Touta'll have the power to change and add the spicy stuff.
