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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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!

Naw, it's a dream tax. For a buck, you're allowed to fantasize (until the drawing) about all the great things you would do with the money. Cars you'd drive, places you'd go, hitmen you'd hire.......:)

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:

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?

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?

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?

:3eye:

Beat me to it Dagney. ;)

What can I say, when I'm irritated, I'm quick on the draw :)

I dare say that he probably would have had his mother had him at the age of 17 while still in school.

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.

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

[COLOR=indigo]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?
[/COLOR]

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 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?

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.

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?

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?

Power, colonialism, and injustice. And I'll toss in misogyny, bitch.:)

And thanks Elsp. I'm flattered to be taken for Dagney. She hits nails on their heads when I'm all thumbs.

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. [color=blue]I'll be all over you before you can think about whether you want to pursue it or not.[/color] You'll have no choice.

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".

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?

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

I thought "Spics" means P. Rican and "beaners" are Mexican?

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.

Well, I'd be glad to change my post to whatever word this cocksucker finds most offensive.;)

ever heard cheech and chong's "sister mary elephant?"

~~~claaaaass......claaaassss.......CLAAAASSSSS.......'
.................SHUT UUUUUP!!!!!!!!!!!

that's where i heard it first. chong calls cheech a beaner.

comes from the amount of refried beans in mexican food.

Bruce said "Well, I'd be glad to change my post to whatever word this cocksucker finds most offensive."


I'll bet the words "insured" and "employed" offend him.

Given his likely lack of understanding of English ...

Try maricon.

c:censored:nt X espanol = puta

Also Cheech and Chong's Next Movie where Cheech sits down to try to write a song.

"Beaners... (chuka chuka chuka chuka) Beaners... (chuka chuka chuka chuka) Beaners... gonna eat beans...(chuka chuka chuka chuka)"

I loved sister mary elephant. and basketball jones.

Cheech collects Chicano art, it may be coming to a museum near you.

this is going to sound racist, but i was expecting a lot of hubcap sculpture.

I like lowrider bicycles cause they get to badass via fun and cute.

BOOOOO!:(

I just got the wheel replaced that the beaner/spic/cocksucker/illegal (take your pick) busted up.
It's an aluminum wheel and he peeled the edge back pretty far. Inside the bead where the tire seals against the rim, is a crack the goes almost all the way through the aluminum. But, in 10 days and several hundred miles, it didn't lose any air. It speaks volumes about the quality of this Chrysler wheel. Of course at $600 I could have bought 3 aftermarket wheels. :D

bruce, next time you need a part, call me.

How bout if he needs a piece *WEG*

Love ya Bruce :)

im sure he has several (pieces)

I'm maintaining my relationship with the dealer I bought the car from, just in case I have trouble down the road. I let them do every other oil change and anything else that's not too expensive. I threw them this bone because it's on the ins company. Of course the first $500 is on me but it will be close to $3000 by the time it's done. If it was out of my pocket, I have connections and a tax number. But thanks for the offer Jim, I'll keep it mind.

I love you too, Dagney.:joylove:



Yes #1, 17" chrome/aluminum

no problem, 'twould be my pleasure to help.

hey, wanna doodadish ptcruiser keychain?

Uh....er....no thank you. I use a swiveling universal hand cuff key. ;)

Well this is the thread where it started,(third post) which I had a hell of a time finding.
Back in early August I got a letter from Lancaster County Juvenile Court informing me the little bastard was finally coming to trial on the 17th. In juvenile court it’s not called a trial but an Adjudication hearing. It said as the victim I’m allowed to attend.
The next day I got a subpoena telling me I had to attend and to contact the victim/witness services first.
So I called and got the low down on where to park, how to get into Juvenile court, and collect witness pay.

At about 4pm on the 16th I got a call from the Police Department making sure I would be there and telling me the witness had been subpoenaed too. Not 10 minutes later the District Attorney’s office calls to tell me the state had withdrawn the case. When I pressed for an explanation, he stonewalled for a bit then said he had to call the police and the witness. I tried not to choke on the smoke coming out of my collar. :mad2:

I was pissed for 9 days, when I received another letter, exactly the same as the first except the date had been changed to September 6th and no subpoena this time. I figured this was a ploy to not have anyone show up to testify the day after Labor Day so I didn’t tell them I was coming, complete with photographs, (with a paragraph on the back), my letters from my insurance company saying they had not been able to collect from the car owner and a raft of other crap.

On the 6th, as soon as I checked in with the clerk, the victim/witness services dude hustled me into a conference room. I asked him if the cop and witness had shown up and he said no because the kid had changed his plea to guilty at the last minute, the adjudication hearing had been on the 17th and this was the sentencing hearing. I told him about the phone call and showed him my letter….both letters to which he mumbled the second letter and phone call were both mistakes.

OK, so now he asks if I want to address the court to which I declined saying he’s been found guilty and if I open my mouth I’m liable to end up in jail for contempt at this point. He relayed this to the assistant DA and she came to see me, checked out my letters and said “You’ve been screwed all the way around, haven’t you?” She told me the Judge was already pissed that the bastard had stonewalled for almost two years then changed his plea after the courts had spent considerable money preparing the case and subpoenaing everyone. She urged me to speak my piece rather than regretting not doing it down the road.
She said since this was juvenile court, they don’t punish anyone but try to set them straight. She also said the court could order him to pay me but even though they could pressure him they couldn’t make him pay.

Ok, so I go into the courtroom and there he is standing at the rail in handcuffs with two lawyers, his father and his mother or an interpreter. Standing very close behind are three armed deputy sheriffs and by the other door is a K-9 officer and his dog.
Something tells me there is more going on than I know about.
The Judge was reading the kid the riot act about him being 19 now and any probation violation would result in directly to jail without collecting $200.

They called me up and I spoke my piece, telling him that this had caused me a lot of money and aggravation but I realize accidents happen. I am however still angry that this punk didn’t even consider stopping, since his brake lights never went on, and made me chase him for over a mile flashing my lights and blowing my horn before I forced him to stop. He not only dissed me but the laws that the rest of us have to follow. No, I didn’t wave a flag.

The Judge ordered him to pay me my insurance deductible and the court their costs. He asked if the kid could pay $100 a month to which the lawyer replied no because he is unemployed. He did, however promise to pay when he got a job. Yeah sure. Exit stage right

So they validate my parking, thank me profusely and try to get me to sign on for their “Victim/Offender Reconciliation Program.” That’s where they get us together to talk until we hug. I declined because the little bastard still doesn’t speak any English.

The very next day I get a call from the DA’s office saying the kid indicated he was ready to settle his debt to me and the court. Huh? He was calling to verify the amount and my address. It’s like child support in that he pays the court and they pay me….I should expect a check in a month. If it happens, I’ll be surprised. They pitched the program again and I declined again citing his lack of English…again

Geez, Bruce! When I read your opening lines I figured that would be the last we heard from you outside the hospital. We don't chase the brown brothers who hit and run here, because the chances are the guy who gets out of the car when you finally catch him is Mara Salvatrucha and you are toast. Hint for future escapades with whoever you think is a beaner or simple wetback: if the guy coming toward you has a 13 or 18 tatooed on his arm it is all over for you, if not now, later when his 10,000 buddies hear about it :P

Another thing that you said got to me, about how the kid had an interpreter furnished by the court. See, that's what I was trained for. Court Interpreter. They told us how desperately they were needed after the business at the OJ trial when nobody could understand the housekeeper who testified. So many answered the call but none were chosen. Why? Because the professional Court Interpreters in Fresno County have to be approved and certified by a State board. And just who is the board? It is all Hispanics, and guess what - they don't like gringos trying to be interpreters. (They don't like Hispanics trying to be interpreters either, but that's a different story.) So none of my graduating class was judged suitable to interpret in court for illegal aliens who at most have a 4th grade education. Meanwhile the court system here is cratering because of the case load, 85% of which is concerning problems that some Mexican got himself into. This did not exist prior to the 90's, but now that 40% of our local population is comprised of "newcomers"..... And the strangest thing yet is that being certified as a Spanish interpreter will get you automatically rejected for jury duty if either or both of the parties are Mexicans.

Hint for future escapades with whoever you think is a beaner or simple wetback: if the guy coming toward you has a 13 or 18 tatooed on his arm it is all over for you, if not now, later when his 10,000 buddies hear about it :P

You underestimate me. ;)

Maybe, but nobody underestimates the Mara Salvatrucha anymore.

Never heard of him. :cool:

dayum bruce! just dayum. well, i hope you get your cash......

I don't think we have much MS-13 up this way yet, although I expect we're on the next planned expansion phase. We do have a fair number of Latin Kings.
