Ha. (funny to begin with, but the suburbs comment is the cherry on top)

So you are white to TM but not-white to Buffy in Palm Beach.
Just so. I can't remember the movie, but there's a scene where a black guy and a Puerto Rican woman are negotiating something or other (hostage payoff? something criminal - natch) with a white guy in middle America. The black guy helpfully points out to the PR girl that, "Here, you're black,too."

Unlike in NYC (I think I've told this story before), where I overheard one gal inform her friend, "I ain't black, I'm Puerto Rican -- it ain't the same thing."

Very possibly. Is that the one with Michael Bluth and the fat lady? (Other funny line -- What are you, Kenyan?)

Wow - you're good. If there were a game show like "Name That Tune" but with movies, you would certainly clean up.

What do you do if someone does not stop? Is there enforcement?

BTW, "Mic Drop" > "Full Stop." If somebody comes back post-Full Stop with a Mic Drop, you haven't merely been Pwned. You been Pwn3d.

I'm confused. I have always said (and understood) "full stop" as meaning something like, "There is no further explanation or exception required." Am I missing something?

I prefer *Drops mic* to "Mic Drop" at it implies that one is actually dropping the mic instead of telling one the mic has been dropped.

I guess you didn't get the memo, but Adder and GGG have made clear it doesn't matter what you white people think.

Risky. I don't like dealing with some motherfucker trying to Full Stop me again before it hits the floor.

Mic's been dropped; hit the ground so hard it's broken. Get your Full Stopping ass out of the building.
