Dandy.

It is Starr Jones. It is from the Halloween episode of the View. Are you insinuating something?

Shalom!

I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies
 

Or, "rape child," really. I know it was the south, but, still, she was only 16 at the time. And hardly in a position to consent. But I digress to the politics board.

Actual Fashion Question -- women's shirts.
 

Hey, I'm usually flying by the seat of my pants, so I need to at least look good in court.

I got it
 

Do you mean to tell me, that there are people in Minnesota, who go around saying "Namaste" in stead of "hello" or "good day"? I have never in my life heard of anything so ludicrous or pretentiously clueless. It is positively Peters Sellersian. Nope, I dont believe you. Not even in the most godawful piece of suburban sprawl in the 703 area code would I imagine in my worst nightmare someone might say that to someone as a greeting. Could not happen. I assume you are not speaking of the signoff at the end of yoga class.

I got it
 

I have no idea what goes on in Minnesota, but a person I deal with frequently (based in India) signs off with it in her emails. I thought (from yoga class) it technically meant "the divine in me bows to the divine in you", but I suppose that also means "peace out". I'm not sure if she is being pretentious or if it is a common sign off in India.

I have no cock in this fight, but this website seems to support bilmore --

Peace out.

I got it
 

bitch please, if the person is from India, it is legit, like someone from England saying Cheers. Its when pretentious or clueless follower type americans get in on the act that it become unacceptable. and I note you dont say she says hello.

Dear Gwink:

Namaste! Greetings from Calcutta. I miss you

Despite being an overwhelmingly white and Scandinavian state, there are actually quite a variety of other cultures that reside and, in some instances, even thrive here. I think it is at least possible that some Hindus do not consider it ludicrous or pretentiously clueless when other Hindus use the word "namaste."

I got it
 

I don't think it's pretentious if they're Hindu. "Pretentious" is sort of reserved for . . . well . . . . you.

I got it
 

Ah, so its a greeting and the american yoga community has bastardized it into a signoff. typical. I will from now on use it as a greeting, like the many many people Bilmore knows inMinnesota to be on the receiving end of it semi daily. I will also say Salud at the dinner table and cheers in all of my emails.

but I will not use any of the above in my posts bc that shit hit its sellpast date when I first posted under the re line "I got it".

I got it
 

Pretentious? She's from the 203 area code, you low-rent prole!

I got it
 

Then I guess Bilmore must live in an overwhelmingly hindu part of Minnesota to be on the receiving end of it semi daily.

I hate when people try to build an argument whose crux relies on the exception and not the rule, or the minority, and not the majority, or the ten percent and not the ninety percent. That was beneath you, Flower. You really are past your sellby date arent you? Did your brain decide to join your sense of humor on holiday in Balmour?

I got it
 

I left a post-it for a colleague that said: "Hi ___. I stopped by to say Hola but you weren't here. Your loss. ABBAKiss."

He called me a few hours later to lecture me about the proper way to use the Rap lingo "Holla" (Holler). :doh3:

I got it
 

and ps, how many hindu americans really go around saying namaste in greeting to white folk? twice a day, bilmore? i think you better lose the hyperbole before it capsizes your kayak
