Being Anesthetized By Saifee<\/strong> Saifee is never sure what to say when people ask him where he\u2019s from. His heritage is the Gujarati<\/a>-speaking Muslim population of Tanzania<\/a>, but he was born in England and has lived in Canada for two decades. Usually, he just says “Edmonton”, which most people find confusing. Or funny. When his children were small, they\u2019d ask him to “talk normally” with their friends\u2019 parents, by which they meant for him to de-Anglicize his speech. Unfortunately, despite being pretty good at most other accents, his attempts at “Educated Urban Canadian” sound more like “Billy Ray Cyrus”.<\/p>\n He has this to say:<\/p>\n Giving Miguelito’s Little Green Car a general anesthetic would be a very tough proposition because of its size. Placing tubes in its blood vessels and lungs would be very difficult and if they moved even a millimeter out of place, they\u2019d stop working. Drugs would have to be measured out precisely in fractions of a drop, while keeping the car from losing too much body heat would be another major challenge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n

\nEdmonton, Alberta, Canada<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\tSaifee once fainted on a stopped chair lift at Sunshine Village<\/a>, slid off, and woke up in a snowbank 50 feet below with his skis still on. If the lift had stopped 10 feet further on, he\u2019d have landed on a pile of rocks.<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\tEach year at the Christmas Party, he teams up with his buddy Tim Yeh to deliver a homage to the Boney M song “Rasputin”<\/a> complete with faux-Russian folded-arm knee squats, but this gets a little shorter and more painful each year.<\/p>\n
