Why is this place so quiet today?
 
Not much to say, but it's colder 'n fuck out here today. (must quit smoking).

Anyway, I'm blue...blue58, never formally introduced myself. I lurk more than post, but on Thursday's I have a lame ass job that frees me up to post (some times) between irritating phone calls.

So, nice to meet you all...carry on.

Kitsune 12-11-2003 12:34 PM

Why is this place so quiet? I dunno about everyone else, but exams are on and I've studied so much that my sanity is gone. Day in, day out all this week I've not been to sleep before 02:30am.

Yet, there is still more studying to be done! Oh, and work sucks a lot right now, too. And I haven't done any Christmas shopping, yet. And graduations are coming up, which means I have to get behind the camera and take pictures of students with a smile as fake as the diploma they're holding.

Did I mention that studying for exams sucks a lot? My head fucking hurts. Coffee isn't fixing it, anymore. Espresso, coming up!

After this is all over with (which will probably be sometime around, oh, December 24th or so?) I'm cleaning out the local liquor store and burning all my notes and calling in sick to work.

xoxoxoBruce 12-11-2003 01:22 PM

Busy day. Last night I got nailed by a hit and run driver. It took me over a mile in traffic to apprehend him. He doesn't speak English or of course have a drivers license. The police suspect he's an illegal alien. Where's Homeland Security when you need them? The car he was driving is supposedly insured but trying to determine if he had permission to drive it is tricky. So between two insurance companies, the police and little or no English speaking parties it's a fustercluck.:( Welcome to the Cellar, blue.

FileNotFound 12-11-2003 01:37 PM

Eeep...
Does sound interesting though. How did you go about 'apprehending' the said driver? Did you put him in the giant scrotum and drag him to the cops?

Did he hit your car? Which side/angle?

breakingnews 12-11-2003 01:37 PM

I haven't been very active here either, and I apologize for that.

On a sidenote, I just ate a piece of english toffee with what I assumed was a little piece of dissovable rice paper wrapped around it ... no, it was definitely a piece of plastic that I just pulled out of my mouth. Gross.

Anyway, work has been busy as shit. The other full-time business reporter is this lame bitch who's been "sick" and in and out of the office for the past four weeks ... and of course my fucking boss took her third week of vacation in two months this week. In other words, there's a lot to be done and not a whole lot of organization. I just want to throw a chair through a window.

We had a company breakfast this morning to celebrate the holidays ... I caught one of the business chicks cooking scrambled eggs in the MICROWAVE. Gross (again). I scooped up some eggs and noticed some of it had a greenish, greyish tinge ... in a phone conversation earlier I compared it to an old, wet sponge.

So, that's my day in Suburbia, USA. Anyone win the lottery lately?

juju 12-11-2003 02:47 PM

No, but my wife goes to iwon.com every day -- something I will apparently never be able to talk her out of.

"One day..", she says, "I could win! And then you'll know I was right! Ha ha ha ha!"

Yeah, right!

But you seemed unstable and my address is posted somewhere on this board...

OnyxCougar 12-11-2003 03:26 PM

Well, since I'm at work, going to any of the others is BAD. And I almost didn't click on the link, thinking you did something like that, but I'm glad you took the high road this time. :)

I wouldn't soil my Bull Scrotum with that piece of beaner shit. He ignored me until I got in front of him. As I said in other threads, I've been an auto racing fan for a long time. I know some moves. He took out the left rear quarter from behind but fortunately not the wheel/tire or he'd have escaped. After he stopped the first thing I did was take a picture of his face. :shotgun:

Nothing But Net 12-11-2003 10:01 PM

Sorry to have to call you on a point which may seem PC, Bruce, but the pejorative 'beaner' is unacceptable these days.

The correct term is 'wetback'.

Can we see the pic?

insoluble 12-11-2003 10:28 PM

Yeah - fuck you Bruce - I am part Mexican. Just because this guy did something bad to you gives you the right to use racial slurs?

I stand by the quoted comment. I would encourage a lot of stupid people to do away with their children. The last thing the world needs is more retards. Coat hanger anyone?

Would you have given that same advice to your mother?

I assume, therefore, that you double-checked to make sure your parents aren't stupid lest your offspring stupidicide campaign meet an untimely demise.

And just to double-check, are you the only one who gets to decide who's stupid or do we also get a shot?

I was going to ask if your advice was retroactive and applicable to yourself, but I see Warch has beaten me to it. Smart lady, that Warch. And very nice, too. Agreeable, generally non-insulting. Honorable traits, those.

Dagney 12-12-2003 02:13 PM

Um, Elsp? Are you hallucinating? I don't see a post from Warch anywhere!

OnyxCougar 12-12-2003 02:21 PM

Here's a good question.

Why can black people call themselves nigga's, mexicans call themselves spics, beaners and wetbacks, white people call themselves white trash, blah blah ad nauseum, but when any other "race" does it, it's not ok?

I have a half mexican nephew and niece, a half Puerto Rican niece, and my daughter is half black. As has been stated here many times (and on many threads), words are just words. Why the fuss?

FileNotFound 12-12-2003 02:25 PM

Why the fuss?

Because our society is idioticly sensitive towards race. Instead of ignoring it and thus acting as "one" we seperate ourselves into little 'minority' groups and are 'proud' of our 'origins'. Because we are so idioticly proud of our race and see it as defining 'who we are', people take those insults very seriously. I bet a woman would find a racial slur more offensive than 'cunt'...so for maximum effect intergrate the two..

That's not always the case. I know of plenty of black people that can't STAND it when other blacks call each other the "N" word. But, it seems to be a difference when a black guy is talking about his "niggas" (homeys) as opposed to a non-black person calling me a goddamned dirty "nigger".

I would say that it would depend on the person, the situation, and how things are said.

God Damn Right It does. Or any other time, for that matter. You have the right to be offended. I have the right to not give a shit. You have the right to retaliate in kind. You do not have the right to escalate without consequences. That's the way the world works:p

I cut off his head. Well only in the picture. They said they were arresting him for hit&run but I think it was protective custody.

insoluble 12-12-2003 11:30 PM

yeah - I guess. I'm not really part mexican - I just wanted to throw in a fuck you in there somewhere. I have to drive by this corner where niggers sell drugs and stand in the street giving me hard looks all the time. What a convenient label huh? I am with FNF on the race issue - most of these racially proud people don't even know what their heritage means, and are just looking for a way to differentiate themselves.

As for the whole kill your baby thing - sure, had my mom been a stupid irresponsible fuckoff, I would rather not exist to carry on the traits. My mother had one abortion after I was born, and thusly I am an only child. I think it sucks that I have no siblings, but the situation merited her choice, and I respect her for being able to make it. Jast as I would respect anyone else with the wisdom to realize that a child is not appropriate in their lives at the moment for whatever reason. So I say again - coat hanger anyone?

Free advice- Before you confront some stranger, do a quick mental checklist of possible reactions and EXACTLY how far you are willing to go to make your point.

at first i thought you had contradicted a previous post. but then i read this post that followed:

No, really I'm trying to caution people to think before start because you might be pushing someone like me. You can lead me most anywhere but if you push it doesn't matter how trivial the reason.

and it made sense again.....

Right Jim. As I started pursuit I was doing a mental checklist of how far I would go with this. I decided he would not win.

Bruce and NBN...how many times have I told you now? You really have to quit calling those damned Spics "beaners" and "wetbacks".

Sun_Sparkz 12-16-2003 11:36 PM

Bruce, your a machine ;)

Dont you ever get frightened at just who your going after.. what if they too had decided that YOU will not win. i heard about a wedding not too long ago where a fight broke out over a parking spot and it ended up with the "toughman" being hacked in the back with the "passive" mans tommohawk. you never know who is going to be behind the wheel of the other car, didnt you worry this young man might have been armed or even equally if not more phyco and assured than you?

wolf 12-17-2003 01:39 AM

I take it that the Aussie govt will soon begin the registration and confiscation of all tomahawks and will work their way down to butter knives now? (for the good of the children, of course)

If you continue calling tacos spics, beaners, and wetbacks I'm gonna start another "Your words are making me uncomfortable, I'm quiting this mean place" thread. disclaimer- griff is not a fan of the Redskins, the Braves, the Conquistadors etc... but would be pleased to find some Fightin Whiteys gear under the tree this Christmas

Determined doesn't mean stupid. There's a difference between a kamikaze and a matador. The matador doesn't always win but he doesn't quit. For all the times someone damaged my property when I wasn't around, this time I was. As of yesterday afternoon he was still in jail.:)

I've never heard a Mexican called a "beaner" before...seriously. I have heard of "Spic" referring primarily to Puerto Ricans, but back home, it's a blanket term used to refer to all Latinos.

comes from the amount of refried beans in mexican food.
