Captain Ed enters, the big A leaves. You read this story and watch this clip and tell me I shouldn’t chase the dream.

You can’t. You can’t do it.

Hey Big A, are you really big? You seem like you’d be a skinny little fella.

Jared_MA on February 25, 2008 at 5:00 PM

Awesome. I know the story is about the dangers, but I assume your dream job was the seat the Hoff was occupying, ie the judge of manflesh. :) Good luck!

Spirit of 1776 on February 25, 2008 at 5:00 PM

dangers=dancers. Note to self: proofread.

Spirit of 1776 on February 25, 2008 at 5:01 PM

Great idea, IMHO.

mikeyboss on February 25, 2008 at 5:01 PM

In the words of Ren and Stimpy:

You sick little monkey.

On the other hand, giving Floridians “The Full Allah” could be fun….

darkpixel on February 25, 2008 at 5:02 PM

I actually read this in the Herald on Saturday and thought it was a joke/typo/misprint..

apparently, it isn’t.

truthmattersfa on February 25, 2008 at 5:02 PM

Spirit of 1776 on February 25, 2008 at 5:01 PM

Don’t feel bad, Spirit. Some of these guys might be in danger of a coronary.

mikeyboss on February 25, 2008 at 5:02 PM

Allahpundit,

Stop it! You’re going to make me have an image of you being really big and I’m sure you’re not.

terryannonline on February 25, 2008 at 5:02 PM

I didn’t see them, but heard on the radio this morning that Michael Moore was seen shaven, and presumably showered, for the Oscars.

Too bad. He could have applied here.

Entelechy on February 25, 2008 at 5:02 PM

Weasel Zippers and Allahpundit have made up my mind. I’m headed to Dairy Queen.

Limerick on February 25, 2008 at 5:03 PM

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

bnelson44 on February 25, 2008 at 5:04 PM

Stop it! You’re going to make me have an image of you being really big and I’m sure you’re not.

I used to be bloated but I’m not anymore. In fact, with my recent diet, I’m flirting with 160.

Allahpundit on February 25, 2008 at 5:04 PM

Hey Big A, are you really big? You seem like you’d be a skinny little fella.

Jared_MA on February 25, 2008 at 5:00 PM

On account of those who know him, he’s a good-looking, not fat, not too skinny, not little fellow. But he’s self-deprecating and plays down his good fortunes. He’s also very witty.

Entelechy on February 25, 2008 at 5:05 PM

Is Allahpundit or something?

kmmcgra on February 25, 2008 at 5:05 PM

Congrats on the weight loss, AP. I’ve dropped 40 since Jan ‘07, and still losing. Well, was still losing, until McCain got the nomination and Hunter endorsed Huckabee. Then I went on a 10 day Ho-Ho binge. But I’m all better now.

Nethicus on February 25, 2008 at 5:06 PM

You are not REALLY leaving, are you?

EJDolbow on February 25, 2008 at 5:07 PM

Dude!

CP on February 25, 2008 at 5:08 PM

I used to be bloated but I’m not anymore. In fact, with my recent diet, I’m flirting with 160.

Allahpundit on February 25, 2008 at 5:04 PM

What he didn’t tell you is that he is only 4′8″

conservnut on February 25, 2008 at 5:11 PM

I’m flirting with 160.

Allahpundit on February 25, 2008 at 5:04 PM

I like older women too.

Limerick on February 25, 2008 at 5:11 PM

Stop it! You’re going to make me have an image of you being really big and I’m sure you’re not.

He is really big. REALLY big. The ladies don’t call him “God” for nothing. [/Allahpundit wingman]

Enrique on February 25, 2008 at 5:11 PM

I used to be bloated but I’m not anymore. In fact, with my recent diet, I’m flirting with 160.

Allahpundit on February 25, 2008 at 5:04 PM

Dude making me feel small thats my weight now after being stuck at 135 for almost 25 years.

William Amos on February 25, 2008 at 5:12 PM

Big men represent!

Jimmie on February 25, 2008 at 5:12 PM

I used to be bloated but I’m not anymore. In fact, with my recent diet, I’m flirting with 160.

So you’re not the guy in the Subway ads?

Kini on February 25, 2008 at 5:12 PM

I’m flirting with 160.

Allahpundit on February 25, 2008 at 5:04 PM
I like older women too.

Limerick on February 25, 2008 at 5:11 PM

Is that the new democratic math ?

William Amos on February 25, 2008 at 5:12 PM

What he didn’t tell you is that he is only 4′8″

conservnut on February 25, 2008 at 5:11 PM

HA! Just what I was thinking….

Go for it, AP! Live the dream, live large (literally!)!

Frozen Tex on February 25, 2008 at 5:13 PM

Which way is it, the camera makes you look larger or thinner?

Kini on February 25, 2008 at 5:15 PM

Dude!

if you’re just gonna post clips of me without permission, I’m gonna have to hit up Ace for some underground Allah imagey goodness.

sulla on February 25, 2008 at 5:15 PM

I like older women too.

Limerick on February 25, 2008 at 5:11 PM

LOL. That was funny!

Spirit of 1776 on February 25, 2008 at 5:16 PM

Goddamit, AllahP, I hate you so much.

Good Lt on February 25, 2008 at 5:17 PM

My eyes.

baldilocks on February 25, 2008 at 5:17 PM

I can vouch for Allah’s fitness. Dude is getting buff.

His dancing skills, however, remain a mystery…

Michelle on February 25, 2008 at 5:17 PM

The secret life of AP here.

Kini on February 25, 2008 at 5:18 PM

So do we have any Hot Air-ians in Florida who are going to go try out? Take a video cam and file a report!

Bad Penny on February 25, 2008 at 5:18 PM

tell me I shouldn’t chase the dream. You can’t. You can’t do it.

YES WE CAN!!!

mikeyboss on February 25, 2008 at 5:18 PM

Allahpoundit???

benjo on February 25, 2008 at 5:18 PM

Allahpoundit???

benjo on February 25, 2008 at 5:18 PM

That’s his other hobby.

mikeyboss on February 25, 2008 at 5:19 PM

AP, you can’t leave! I can’t handle that much change in one week. If I liked “change”, I’d vote for Obama!

For the Captain Ed crowd….above is the only graphic of Allah that has been released. Our own unknown-pundit.

Limerick on February 25, 2008 at 5:21 PM

Another sighting here

Kini on February 25, 2008 at 5:23 PM

Michelle on February 25, 2008 at 5:17 PM

Buff …. Dancing.

Ruh-Roh

fogw on February 25, 2008 at 5:24 PM

Kini on February 25, 2008 at 5:23 PM

Much better then mine, Kini.

Limerick on February 25, 2008 at 5:25 PM

And I hear male belly-dancing is making a comeback in the Middle East too!

JetBoy on February 25, 2008 at 5:26 PM

THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

Mike H on February 25, 2008 at 5:26 PM

Mike H on February 25, 2008 at 5:26 PM

“My eyes! My beautiful eyes!”

Frozen Tex on February 25, 2008 at 5:30 PM

Wow. Those guys were hot. EEK!! LOL…. They kind of reminded me of liberal party guys Michael Moore, Teddy Kennedy, alGore,
and friends…

PoliticallyIncorrectSandy on February 25, 2008 at 5:34 PM

It’s nice to see your high aspirations Big A!

Drtuddle on February 25, 2008 at 5:34 PM

Everyone has to have a dream Allah. You should do it.

Geronimo on February 25, 2008 at 5:36 PM

Hey thanks for the laugh! I love the look on the girl’s face… Oh the horror!!

Hunt035 on February 25, 2008 at 5:37 PM

Wait! Those guys didn’t WIN the talent show, did they?

EJDolbow on February 25, 2008 at 5:37 PM

Allah, you got talent, dude!

d1carter on February 25, 2008 at 5:37 PM

I was about to say I need a palette-cleanser now, but that would sound teh ghey.

Kralizec on February 25, 2008 at 5:42 PM

A ripoff of the Dallas Maniacs for the Mavericks. One over their dancers weighs in about 420; they added one really skinny guy for diversity.

michaelo on February 25, 2008 at 5:42 PM

It’s nice to see your high aspirations Big A!

Drtuddle on February 25, 2008 at 5:34 PM

Corrected.

Kralizec on February 25, 2008 at 5:47 PM

I’m starting wonder about ya’ll around here. Especially AP.

One dude leaves and everyone goes all wonky.

*rolls eyes*

WayWard Fundamentalist Christian on February 25, 2008 at 5:49 PM

Wow. I’d always imagined that AP’s act would involve an Enigma track and lots of pastel scarves.

I have no idea why, but it just seems … inevitable … somehow.

Wind Rider on February 25, 2008 at 5:50 PM

WayWard Fundamentalist Christian on February 25, 2008 at 5:49 PM

Nah. The leaving was kinda a bummer. But the staying was a happy relief. One this about Allah is that everyone, but everyone, is fair game. Including himself.

Now if we could just talk him into that auction to reveal his identity. HA would make millions (not to mention how many i-Phone bills it would pay for).

Limerick on February 25, 2008 at 5:54 PM

I like older women too.

Ba doom pppsshhhh

Good one Limey!

Tony737 on February 25, 2008 at 5:57 PM

Second look at humping robots!

Zorro on February 25, 2008 at 6:03 PM

I you look closely you can see AP getting turned on.

waterhouse on February 25, 2008 at 6:09 PM

NO!!! Say it ain’t so AP!!!!

ChuckInHawaii on February 25, 2008 at 6:11 PM

Now if we could just talk him into that auction to reveal his identity. HA would make millions (not to mention how many i-Phone bills it would pay for)

Good luck with that!

WayWard Fundamentalist Christian on February 25, 2008 at 6:15 PM

Ahem, a few years ago, I remember an Allahpundit complaining that he was too thin and needed to bulk up.

Blake on February 25, 2008 at 6:24 PM

In fact, with my recent diet, I’m flirting with 160.

Hm… I pictured you more like, um, Tom Selleck.

Mark Jaquith on February 25, 2008 at 6:27 PM

Ahem, a few years ago, I remember an Allahpundit complaining that he was too thin and needed to bulk up.

Yeah, I … never got around to it.

Allahpundit on February 25, 2008 at 6:28 PM

So, are you trying to gain weight or lose weight?

Blake on February 25, 2008 at 6:42 PM

GOD BLESS AMERICA…by the pound!

Lockstein13 on February 25, 2008 at 6:45 PM

Thanks Allah, Another thing I didn’t need to see. Between the View and this I’m starting to think you’re into S&M. E xcuse me while I go bleach my eyes.

limowilliam on February 25, 2008 at 7:24 PM

Welcome aboard, Hot Air style, Ed :D

William Teach on February 25, 2008 at 7:45 PM

AP, you can’t dance. Remember?

shooter on February 25, 2008 at 7:53 PM

I’m flirting with 160.

Allahpundit on February 25, 2008 at 5:04 PM

I weighed 160 in 7th grade, Dude, you’re a bone rack. The Olsen twins are going to kick sand on your blanket this summer if you lose anymore weight.

I’m sending you some whey protein powder so you don’t dry up and blow away.

Alden Pyle on February 25, 2008 at 8:47 PM

Oh my friggin eyes,my eyes.
It appears size matters,Haha.

canopfor on February 25, 2008 at 9:21 PM

I saw Knight Rider(David Hasselhoff) in that clip! >:}

Chakra Hammer on February 25, 2008 at 9:22 PM

And the Hoff liked.

- The Cat

MirCat on February 25, 2008 at 10:00 PM

Gotta take your shot, AP

Jaibones on February 26, 2008 at 3:57 AM

160? And here I thought AP kinda looked like the hairy dude in the belly dancer outfit on American Idol a few weeks back who got himself waxed to get another chance to sing for Paula.

AverageJoe on February 26, 2008 at 10:13 AM

Nothing beats the original.
