You've all got sand in your twats.

Makes perfect sense to me, it's a fantasy, something they cannot act out in real life.

Oh you're the only one that can be passive agressive now?

whatever, massa.

OnyxCougar · 04-01-2004, 11:04 AM

Incidentally, I *know* I should just let this go. But I can't. I'm really not trying to pick a fight, and I really don't know why I don't just shut up. Probably because I really don't know how to articulate what I feel is wrong, and since I've already fucked it up, I guess I might as well take another bite of the shit sandwich. Anybody got some ketchup?

lumberjim · 04-01-2004, 11:14 AM

well, once you figure out what's really bothering you, you let me know. Until then, I'll shut up about it if you will.

Sorry for interrupting the flamefest (although it does appear to have moved to other threads), but I actually wanted to put some comments on the actual picture. My roommate is from Nigeria so I figured he would be a good person to ask about the picture, but I haven't had a chance to talk to him since the picture was posted. Finally I asked him about it this morning.

First off, he's never seen people walking around with hyenas on leashes before, and suggested that that picture was probably taken in certain areas of one of the big cities, possibly the biggest one, in areas you definitely wouldn't want to go (think of the most dangerous inner city areas in the US, with gangs and such, same kind of thing). He said if he could see the guys faces better, he could tell where they're from. He said there's no way people would be keeping hyenas simply as pets, the purpose is definitely for showing off.

About the armbands, he said they're pretty common, made of leather, and a lot of people wear them, especially hunters, and usually use it to carry a knife, with the blade between the armband and the skin. I asked if they were gang related, and he said no, but it's possible the color of the hat might be.

He also suggested another possibility. He said there's a lot of people who practice black magic over there, and one thing they do is write stuff on their arm and then put the armband over it. He said that it gives them a lot of power, and one guy might be able to fight off 20 hyenas at once, or have a wild bear do what it's told, using this black magic. I don't know how much of that I believe is accurate, but he said these people can do some really freaky stuff. Anyway, he said it's most likely these guys are just showing off their powers by keeping hyenas like that.

I didn't ask about the baboons. Maybe it's the same kind of thing?

Faint recollections of Nic Name are floating in my head.

I guess it's a good thing these Nigerians don't have Jews on those chains.

Or Nigerians.

And with all the bad jokes you've throw around here, jim, I'd have thought you'd be more understanding instead of calling people a racist.

[/rant]

Damn! I'm thinking, "If anyone should be offended, shouldn't it be *ME*?" :p Quite honestly, the comment rolled right off of my shoulders. I did get a chuckle out of it, but then after I thought about it, I was like, "Hey!" but not like I was going to go after TS with the verbal bitchslap or anything.

I'm learning to pick and choose my battles very carefully nowadays.

Go figure...

You are very correct with that fact. I know of such a submissive. He's a leader at his job (car sales). Sometimes, I would be on the phone with him, and he'd tell me to hold on, and I would hear him giving someone orders to do thus and so (and in a tone that meant business!). However, when he would talk to me from his home, his tone changed dramatically and he would ask permission for him to call me "Mistress". (long story) :p Go figure.

Maybe it's best to not make a racist joke period, but that's just me.

To borrow a line from someone who makes a living off of racism.

"Who's more racist? Black people or white people?

Black people, cuz we hate niggahs too!"

I think he's pretty damn funny. The only reason he gets away with it is because he's black, and funny.

Who remembers Mel Brooks back when he was funny?
