I think you were still black, you were just more desirable at that time, and, sadly for the OM in his teenage years, less desirable now.

My half-creole and half-white cousins who I thought pass completely are still considered black in the South.

I call bullshit. I can't tell whether a girl is hot over the phone. I've talked with chicks who sounded like wart hogs on the phone and turned out to be hot and spoen with chicks who sounded gorgeous and turned out looking like Andrea Dworkin. If you can tell whether a chick is hot over the phone, its probably some female intuition thing... or I'm just clueless.

WTF?!
 

What has happened to ESPN? It used to be The destination for quality sports coverage. Now they are just another network. No more entertaining Sports Centers, no more non-mainstream sports. They've got football, they've got baseball, they've got basketball, they've got NASCAR, but so do the Big 3. ESPN's draw used to be the fact that they covered the 'other' sports that weren't available on mainstream network television. Soccer, rugby, Little League World Series, kill the guy with ball (Aussie Rules), the Mud Bowl, etc. Now they've got Rush Limbaugh as a football expert? I'm so depressed.

Anne
Wonder who they'll trot out for college basketball commentary- Geraldo? Oprah?

WTF?!
 

Limbaugh also stated that Donovan McNabb has been overrated b/c the media wants a black QB to be succesful and that Philly's defense has carried them. Mr. Limbaugh clearly does not play fantasy football...

WTF?!
 

Limbaugh is so stupid about sports that I cannot stomach the show.

First, they get rid of Sterling and replace him with Michael. Now, I will say that it appears Michael is off drugs, so that's a positive move for him. However, he is still not Sterling.

Then they go and add Rush. His own brief commentaries are awful, his "Rush Challenges" segments are excruciating. Add in the offensive comments about McNabb and you have the makings of a real problem.

I send an email every Sunday morning to complain. Clearly they care what I think, since their ratings are up.

At one point I had respect for your oeuvre and your intellectual prowess. The fact that you listen to NPR--and listen often enough to evaluate the mellifluousness, or absence thereof, of the hosts names--disturbs me and causes me to re-evaluate again the respect that I once had for you. I feel the same disillusionment that I felt when I discovered that J.Edgar Hoover wore dresses, Martn Luther King had a thing for white women, or Gandhi liked to receive tea enemas in his menage a troises. Menages a trois? Well, at any rate, you can discern the level of disillusionment.

I would have thought that you could find better uses for your time than listening to neo-marxist screeds from a bunch of Grub Street hacks. Why not turn off the radio and go to a museum, read a good book or subscribe to a bestiality website.

Good advice. I'm sure the cheaters have been through plenty of guilt and shame. And they are probably uncomfortable running into you anyway (and probably already know how you feel about them). Not likely that the disapproval of an ex-coworker will cause them as much lost sleep as the pain they've caused other people (whose opinions matter more than yours, dear wingnut) already has. Unless you want to come off like the reverand's wife in the Simpsons. In which case, go for it and say something hateful to these people who are just trying to live their (flawed) lives. WTG.

Yeah, I think you're right. I remember it was mostly used in New Orleans, which got rather more into complicated classifications.
One of my S.A. friends has two kids, one of whom can pass and one can't. Mother's white, and the daughter isn't (though she'd pass anywhere in the US). The whole family refers to the boy as "White-Boy." Going out in Johannesburg with them is kind of weird. People will smile at the boy and mother, but treat the daughter like she's invisible. Or, they'll compliment the beautiful daughter with that whole, smug "see how progressive I am!" tone. Though one has to give them marks, being still rather new at this "how do we deal with having to actually deal with each other" thing, for jumping right in, slogging along and trying things out rather than timidly waiting for someone to tell them what's "right."

WTF?!
 

Give Rush time and he will Greek himself.

The Sunday morning pregame has declined drastically on all networks. They've become so bad they may just drive me into church on Sunday mornings.

WTF?!
 

Well, that is The Lord's Plan.

WTF?!
 

Now there's something to draw in the faithful. "Jesus: better'n lousy pregame coverage."

WTF?!
 

So Rush is doing the Lord's work? Verily, She works in mysterious ways.

While I no longer discuss my personal vies towardes such things anymore (when I remember not to), I can say my post was not about a woman being attractive. I just get the info I need from her voice, staccato, and diction. Sir.

I am looking forward to the Bachelor this evening. Anyone think Big BOb is in love yet?

IF so, it would be even more pathetic than all those amazing women who were in love with him before they even met.

But is he "big" bob any more? Apparently he shed 40 lbs so that he would be presentable as the focus of a network show. Too bad they didn't cast some heifers to compete for his affections. I'd like to see him send them home brokenhearted after the first emotional rose ceremony.

This humble show has become paradise to those who carry around something sick and rotten inside of them, some corroded remnant of an Us vs. Them junior high school mentality, where a clique of hairless thugs and outright morons screeches and wails and plots ineffectually against a group of relatively normal people.

"JRUSS" is the acronym for the moniker "Janet Reno's Ugly Step-Sister." "JFUCK" is one of paigow's many names for him. Because of his posts about his love for swing, the lindy, etc., he is also occasionally referred to as "Dancing Boy."

He was a poster on the Infirmation boards (or did he make the move over here? I dunno), and he and paigow did not get along. Many of their spats were on the DC Board, I think, so I didn't see all of them.

Anyhow, in answering your question, the important thing to remember is that being called a JRUSS sock by paigow is an insult of the highest degree.

Strange , but true.

Hello

A guy who knows how to live a little
 

Colin Farrell on his former wild ways, which he says are not entirely dissimilar to his current wild ways: "I ended up on a shrink's couch, and he told me to write down how much I did in a week -- 20 [tabs of Ecstasy], 4 grams of coke, 6 of speed, half an ounce of hash, three bottles of Jack Daniel's, 12 bottles of red wine, 60 pints. And 40 [cigarettes] a day. He looked at me and said, 'Do you wonder you're depressed?'"



Seems to me he'd be dehydrated too. Or else he needs to add 300 bottles water to the list.

He's been training for 3 weeks. Race is in 4 weeks. Just wonderful, I can already see the bad press distance running is going to get because he ends up injured or in extreme pain. A high profile opportunity to convince a whole generation of potential runners that the pain of running isn't worth it.

And he'll get more press finishing in 6 hours than the winner does.

Um, Not Bob? He clearly made it over here with about eighteen of his socks. Why are you talking to one of them?

Honey, chill.

The guy is not getting off his sofa to run it. He's actually in decent shape and got in through the lottery.

Besides, everyone already knows the pain of running isn't worth it.

Not to worry. I'm sure he'll just piggyback in on someone else's effort.

I am nearly positive my input was not requested, but I question why you feel the need to convey this message since you rarely interact with any of the parties. If you were their mother, sister, daughter, or close friend, it might make sense to make your feelings known. But they likely realize that what they did is not real popular. They likely don't need to have it hammered home that you side with majority. They went about it the wrong way, but if they are happy now, that is likely all they care about.

Who said he got in via sponsor?

He said he's been training for three weeks. Has he secretly been training longer? That's nearly enough. Not even for Penske.

There is virtually no pain if you train properly (only delusions and semi-consciousness).

If, by chance, he does well, then that's great. Hopefully he can inspire these fat young kids to get off their butts. Unfortunately, I've seen too many underprepared people fail miserably to think that will happen.

And I'd still rather the focus be on KK, Tergat, Geb and now I realize that no one knows who the hell I'm talking about, which is my point...
