About Us

You're standing at the arrival gate; the airplane you were waiting for finally descends to the ground. You see him climb down the staircase from the plane, the jet engines violently blowing on his dingy checked shirt and dark brown pants hoisted well above his ankles, which in turn are complimented by a pair of dark red open toe slippers. He lifts his head up, the jet engine winds blowing into his extremely oily hair, and pushes his thick, huge-rimmed glasses up his greasy nose as he takes in the sight of the airport landing ground. He finally spots you through the window and, jiggling his head from side to side, waves in an extremely awkward fashion, his slowly growing smile revealing his huge teeth. As you turn away, you shake your head and put your hand to it, not because you are ashamed, but because after several years of life in this country, you realize that you are still no less of a FOB than he is.

The FOB scene has changed from actual boats to airplanes over the years, but the appearances, mannerisms, attitudes, and reactions of those arriving, as well as those receiving them, are still exactly the same. We came here for a better life, and quite frankly, we got it. Social analysts often claim that healthy societies are often formed when the multicultural faction assimilates and begins to undertake the conforming role. We couldn't agree less. As FOBs, we're not only proud of who we are, but we also won't change for anyone (except maybe white girls), and we're quite content with forming our own inner society. The time for introversion, however, is drawing to a close. It's time to cast off our shadowy shrouds and extend our raucous reach to the rest of the world, or at least to the other FOB societies out there.

Fobs 'R' Us is a network of all FOBs across the developed world, all gathered at one spot to just chill and kick it. Everybody's welcome as long as you're willing to enjoy. We're open to suggestions, if you have an idea, tell us and we'll make this place that much better. So don't waste another minute, put your lotaas down and join the network, because pride matters......and we're all jobless enough as it is, aren't we?
