Or on a planet that doesn’t have people, so they don’t have to hear her incessant whinging.

But I thought Kanye was part of the Illuminati! Jay-Z and Beyonce, too!

I’ve never been able to defend Kanye, but now he’s become even more indefensible than before, and I didn’t even know that was possible! Lemme guess, R. Kelly is innocent too?

He was such an over-the-top ham in that role though. And man, is his penis ginormous. It was like the size of my forearm! He seems like a nice enough fellow though, and I’m looking forward to seeing him in Vinyl when it starts on Sunday.

I say we’re both winners in this game, my dear.

Those prison uniforms were quite form-fitting, and Babcia was a beautiful young Polish broad, so she was TOTALLY asking for it. I mean, come on, how couldn’t she have been? And the colors of the triangles she wore on her prison stripes to identify her really brought out the blue in her eyes.

Spade I knew already, but in the minstrel/blackface section, I unfortunately learned a whole laundry list of hateful terms for black people. Why? Because the performers would use them on stage when the minstrel shows got even MORE racist after the south lost the Civil War.

So true. Babcia getting her nails ripped out and being raped on the reg was collateral damage, because she escaped that with skills and character, dammit!

Or what about segregating folks in Eastern Europe, making them wear symbols that identify them, and putting them in forced work camps like my grandparents? I mean sure, it's not PC, but those Volkswagons and that medical advancement would just appear out of the ether, you know? Babcia, Dziadzio and their long dead…

No shit! And I was just saying that you should call spades as your trump in Euchre. People are so goddamn easily offendable these days.

Yep. And have someone hip to those kinds of linguistics through no fault of their own, you can figure them out quite easily.

Right. I didn’t mean “fag” LIKE THAT, You peeps are just SO FUCKING SENSITIVE, you bunch of KIKE POLACKS.

With all of the research into entertainment history I’m doing in my class, there’s a lot about blackface and minstrel shows, and I unfortunately know a lot of old-timey derogatory terms for black people now. Other ethnicities, too, from the Vaudeville section. But hey, at least they weren’t flat out saying the n-word,…

Me too.

Spade is a derogatory term for a black person. It’s a bit old-timey, so it falls under the radar when people use it sometimes. This person was being a racist dumbshit.

Sorry for the rough week! My Ciocia always says it as “fatty bobalatty”, so that’s how I say it too. She also came up with the brilliant term “eight to eighty pants”, which I’ve turned into “two to twenty pants”. They’re pants you wear so you can eat lot and they will fit you if you’re a size two, or if you’re a size…

I do not. How old is your son, if you don’t mind me asking? Zyprexa is a strong drug, and if he’s a kid, he’s at risk of having rebound effects from it.

I really don’t know! I know some stuff it being re-released on vinyl, like newer albums from the aughts and whatnot, but as for it being a hipster fad? Beats me. I love vinyl because that’s what I grew up listening to, and got a bunch of my parents’ old albums when they were cleaning house, only to add a lot of my own…

Aw, poor kid. Mac and cheese might be just what she needs. Comfort food is best in those kinds of situations.

That’s so scary, but I’m glad that your prognosis seems to be good and you’re staying positive. My aunt had breast cancer about a decade ago and had to have a double mastectomy after chemo and radiation, and she’s been cancer free since 2005. I hope that you have a swift recovery.
