Posted by Dead_Winter: LOL @ sorry for being on topic. Jun 22 05 10:58 am Link Posted by Dead_Winter: Dead_winter, You are hereby banned to the "Always Post on Topic" Group! Jun 22 05 11:13 am Link Posted by Ty Simone: Apparently I only know what is dictated to me by the health guru... Jun 22 05 11:16 am Link Posted by Dead_Winter: We got sidetracked by understanding born out of frank discussion. No need to apologize. Your experience matters. What you have to say is important. Please share more Jun 22 05 11:18 am Link Posted by Reese: I love chicken (occasionally), fish, and broccoli. I don't eat red meat, actually eat about 50% vegetarian. Alas, another stereotype shot down. No ribs or chittlins for this brutha. LOL Jun 22 05 11:24 am Link I get discriminated against all the time... People mistake me for Hawaiian (Polynesian), Mexican, Spanish, any type of Latino... Never anything cool like Italian or maybe Ethiopian... Has anyone ever met an Ethiopian???? Okay, I am not really ever discriminated against... But there's always Theda forcing me to work Chinese over-time hours... I was once told I looked like Kiana Tom once... That was sort of cool... I don't - but I thought it was cool anyway... But I digress... What was the original post??? Jun 22 05 11:28 am Link Herb, I got a really funny story to tell you about my friend Dewayne. My Parents had their 40th wedding anniversary. My father invited a bunch of people from his job (at the Ford Plant in Chesapeake, Va.) It seems that a lot of the blacks he works with called him the Grand Wizard. (long story on that, and they were joking) So anyway, we are there, my parents have the front table facing everyone, and then us kids (and my family since I am the only sibling to marry and reproduce) are all sitting at the head table. On the Far is is D and his girl. My father starts with the introductions, "My Daughter Sarajane, My son Jim, My son Chris, My son Ty and his wife and kids, And the black sheep of our family, Dewayne and his fiance.." I forget her name. The place went dead quiet on the Black sheep part. Dewayne, who stood up, replies, "What's wrong, Never seen a black sicilian before?" The place broke out in hysterical laughter." Of course there is the other side of the Italian stories as well. My father was an alterboy growing up. (boy did he stray....) anyway, back then they did the mass in latin, and my father knew it all by heart. Godfather III opened the same day we attended a wedding. My dad, looks like the typical Sicilian, My older brother Jim looks like the typical "eats too much pasta" Italian, Me, I am from the milkman, and my younger bro looks like a hit man (hair slicked back in a small tail, muscular etc...) Anyways, there we are in the theater, in the Back row, all in suits, and scene starts up where they are doing the mass. My Father starts saying it AHEAD OF the movie. this young black couple sitting in the row in front of us, looks back, sees my father and us, they get up and move to the front row! We started cracking up. Missed about 5 minutes of the movie. Funniest damn thing I have ever seen, and what is worse, my father had to be clued in as to why they left like that.

Alas, another stereotype shot down. No ribs or chittlins for this brutha. LOL Personally, My favorite food is sushi (shashimi actually, I kind of hate rice) Jun 22 05 11:33 am Link Posted by Reese: Reese, take your car to Washington, DC and visit any of the Ethiopean restaurants in Georgetown. Not only will you find good food, but you will also meet some Ethiopians, who often stand out by their beauty and elegance. Jun 22 05 12:43 pm Link Wow? Really? I honestly thought that they just stayed in their own country... I wonder why they don't come to Virginia or Florida? What's so special about DC???

I will let you know after my date with her! (I was going to be really crude and say after my date with Reese, but I do not need more moderator enemies... :-P) Jun 22 05 12:57 pm Link Posted by Ty Simone: New Out-Of-Context Rumor: Reese tastes like sushi. Jun 22 05 02:05 pm Link Posted by Eric Muss-Barnes: Posted by Ty Simone: New Out-Of-Context Rumor: Reese tastes like sushi. Native American = Asian Jun 22 05 02:09 pm Link Posted by XtremeArtists: Posted by Eric Muss-Barnes: Posted by Ty Simone: New Out-Of-Context Rumor: Reese tastes like sushi. Native American = Asian I suppose if you trace ones roots back far enough to Asians crossing the Bearing Strait and the Pacific Ocean, yes, you're correct. Jun 22 05 02:15 pm Link Posted by Eric Muss-Barnes: Sorry, they still won't be culturally permitted to insult kikes, spics or camel jockeys. Jun 22 05 02:16 pm Link [b]Posted by Ty Simone: CTFU!

CTFU-Cracking the F@ck Up Jun 22 05 02:27 pm Link Hmm... I am watching the forum posts and have come to the conclusion that I am kinda flattered that someone would want to "breed" with me... Jun 22 05 02:41 pm Link Posted by theda: Posted by Eric Muss-Barnes: Sorry, they still won't be culturally permitted to insult kikes, spics or camel jockeys. CRAP! You're right. Posted by Reese: No. No. No. Not just "someone" darling. But the one and only ... Eric Muss-Barnes. Jun 22 05 03:28 pm Link Posted by Reese: I don't know, but a friend growing up was half italian half japanese. when people wondered how to refer to his mix his answer was "woponese." Jun 22 05 03:49 pm Link Posted by Reese: I could never figure out what's special about DC either, but that's another matter. Anyway, there's a bunch of Ethiopian restaurants in Harlem, just north of Columbia University, as well. I've never heard of an Ethiopian community in NYC or elsewhere in the US, though. Jun 22 05 03:51 pm Link Posted by Eric Muss-Barnes: We are that talented. Jun 22 05 03:59 pm Link Posted by theda: Posted by Eric Muss-Barnes: We are that talented. Let's remember that this whole food discussion began with Ty offering to take me for a drink and then upgrading by offering olive oil along with his olive branch so that we could move beyond stereotypes and sit down over Italian food and discuss how we probably have more in common than differences and how people like Chelsea and Theda, who don't get it, actually end up performing a service. Jun 22 05 04:10 pm Link Gosh darn it. I keep forgwetting that I'm the one that doesn't "get it." I keep thinking it's you who has deliberately ignored the point I'm making and drawn irroneous conclusions. I must extra special not get it. Posted by Herb Way: Jun 22 05 04:27 pm Link Really good stuff. I say keep up the good work and leave them with thier mouths open, and smile. When you can make thier jaws drop then your doing good work. Some great stuff you have. Jun 22 05 04:30 pm Link OMG what's with the on topic post? Jun 22 05 04:41 pm Link Maybe MM can actually have a special category for on-topic posts? that way it won't confuse the rest of us.... Jun 22 05 04:49 pm Link Posted by theda: Posted by Herb Way: Yes, you definitely extra special don't get it and the word is "erroneous" as in error as in you have it WRONG. But that's OK, Ty and I will drink to your youthful arrogance and have a laugh on you. Jun 22 05 05:24 pm Link Oh the world according to Miss Theda. Damn I hope my tiny mind can take in her greatness. I am sooooo in the abyss and clueless.... some one lead me to the light! Jun 22 05 05:34 pm Link im a 33 yr old black man who might be spotted sometime during the summer wearing 'air force ones' and listening to rap music... i have experienced some of the same exact things that EMG has... i am not a whiner... i am better than ignorance... i am very glad that in this industry the images speak for the artist, because if i had a bunch of self portraits in my port (from a lack of shooting aspiring models), i might have a problem with all the women that would be after me looking to breed (...do i have to say that was a joke?)... this thread is beautiful. it shows the good, the bad, and the ugly. EMG, i was gonna write in this thread when i first saw it, but i was leaving work and i got sidetracked. good luck with everything you are doing. dame... p.s. inhale - exhale Jun 22 05 06:00 pm Link I saw an Ethiopian restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Jun 22 05 06:29 pm Link Posted by AstraDivaJ: And your point is???????? WTF???? Hell I need a drink this is just like being at work.

Hell I need a drink this is just like being at work. Try reading the thread next time you post. Jun 22 05 11:53 pm Link Reese, I would breed with you in a heartbeat, Just do not tell my wife! Herb, the week of July 11th I am completely free. I know this awesome hole in the wall 5 star Italian Place that serves so much even I have trouble finishing it. CTFU, I got to remember that. Sorry If I sounded harsh there, I have heard STFU so often in chat with gamers that I naturally assumed..... Jun 23 05 06:56 am Link One day, I'm gonna grow up to be an ethnic minority so I play "more opressed than thou." Wait... I am an ethnic mintority... I want my game piece! Jun 23 05 07:29 am Link Posted by theda: Ok, You can be either the shoe, or the dog. Jun 23 05 08:20 am Link Posted by theda: It's gotten old, Theda. Give it a rest. It would be very helpful, for starters, if you simply grew up. Jun 23 05 04:05 pm Link |
