'I'm Really Petrified to Even Walk Down the Street,
 

A week after the brutal slaying of three Newark, N.J., college students, the community is still in shock.
"I'm really petrified to even walk down the street," said Brianna Jolley, a friend of one of the victims.
Dashon Harvey was just 20 years old. The psychology major at Delaware State University was an aspiring model and described as fun-loving and respectful.
"I couldn't believe it, not my boy," said Harvey's father, James, recalling the night his son was killed. "Why? For what? Who did it? Why would they want to do that? I can't fathom that. I can't believe that," he said.
"I've got to buy him a suit for burial instead of his graduation and that's a shock to me."
Harvey and his friends Terrance Aerial, 18, and Iofemi Hightower, 20, were forced to kneel down and were shot execution style at a school playground. Aerial's sister Natasha, 19, was shot and stabbed, but survived the attack.

And you point is?

America is dying, duh!

This kind of thing never happens in Korea? Or is it just never reported on the news?

all the more reason why NJ could use a good tsunami, raging wildfire, hurricane... something. start over.

When I lived in Philly, I made fun of NJ as much as the next person...but it's really not as bad as it's made out to be. It's just in a weird spot...the northern part is New York City's bitch, and the southern part is Philly's bitch. And Newark has really been moving up in the world recently, along with Jersey City.

I wish I could be in Belmar right now.

In China, the city workers will deliberately run you over with their van if you sit in front of it.

Also, sometimes people use knives to brutally kill each other.

Or they'll just beat you to death with their own hands.

don't they steal organs too?

Don't worry lj, your organ is safe.

from you, maybe ya carpet muncher.

Oh no - he dint - shit he did! lol

Hell at least that'd constitute some action!

There has been some trouble with petrified folks in Italy as well.

How bout Hogwarts?

The whole Terra Cotta Army is petrified.

:p :p

I have one of those Generals in my basement.

My dad has a big piece of petrified wood.

At least that's what he told yo' mama

lol...very funny, but no.

It's an actual block of timber which has become petrified. He got it from a mine he was doing some work on.

Did you know that there is actually no wood in petrified wood? :D

Though in life it may have been a Jurassic-period Araucaria spp. conifer. Those and palms are what you find around the Petrified Forest deposits. If there are comparable deposits in Australia... hadn't been paying attention to which continent was in question...

Yes i realize that Merc. Once upon a time it was wood though.

America the land of law and order.

No, we are the land of "petrified woodies".

No, America the land of freedom and democracy, and all the cost that comes with it.

No, America, the land of Americans.

Well said Ali.

lol...I'd be interested to know what meaning you created from my statement (which was very much tongue in cheek as I'm sure you know).

Shaddap, you socialists.

I can't shut up. I'm half pissed...and you know what that does to socialists don't you?

That was by way of raising a glass and echoing 'what she said'

It's the champagne that does it ali

AH yes, but what did I say? ;)

Of course, we know it doesn't matter what I actually said. What matters is what meaning you created out of what I said...right?

Actually, it's the cosmopolitans. I've run out of cranberry juice now though, so that's the end of that. I'm wonering if I should have a gin and tonic, but I'm thinking with the mood I've been in lately, I'll probably end up bawling my eyes out...which might not be such a bad thing.

I think I'll have a gin.

hahaha.

I just like the simplicity of America, the land of Americans.

That's a good call. Tonic always makes me weepy too:P

Dana...I think it's the gin that does it.

*shakes head vehemently* no. I won't have it. Definately the tonic.

ok...you have it your way.

Would you like fries with that?

Nope, I'd like a Glenmorangie with that.

Oooh...well I can't help you with that. I've got some southern comfort though...or gin (of course) bourbon, rum, vodka, tequila. Plus an assortment of liqueurs. Or wine.

That'd make one mother of a cocktail....

yeah...they make a flaming lambogini out of most of those plus a few more. The most disgusting concoction you're ever likely to taste. It'll get you pretty pissed though.

I think I spelled that car name wrong...but you probably don't care.

I would probably care more if I knew how to spell it.

Fucking wogs! Why can't they just spell like normal people???

Bastards. And they smell.

specially when they've been doing smelly stuff...like shoveling shit.

or just rolling in it. I heard some of them do that.

Really? Why would they do that?

I dunno....cultural innit?

what...like dog fighting? lol

Yeah! just like that!

And, they eat funny food.

yeah but yummy funny I reckon. I love greek food the best.

Granted their food is yummy...especially the halva....mmmm...halva....

fried cheese and dips and bread...and olive oil and balsamic and and and...now I'm hungry.

omg, you two crack me up. :)

Then you'll be well entertained, the drunks have pissed all over the board tonight.

oh no you di'int! :lol:

You say that like it's a bad thing
