The old, tattered, motheaten race card is pulled out yet again... and other stories.

Classic moment. Especially this bit:

Thanks. I'd originally written "mid-life-crisis-mobile" but then realised the guy was a bit too young for that.

I can't STAND those BRATZ dolls. They are just disgusting. I have grown to loathe anything that makes it "cool" for a young girl to wear revealing clothing and lots of make-up and act like a ding-bat.

I call 'em "Slutz" because that's what they most resemble.

[habitofbeingright]

Those Bratz dolls are disturbing as hell anyway. It's like the toy manufacturers ran out of ways to make Barbie more anatomically unrealistic, so they just decided to slut her up as much as possible.

my sister has 3 daughters (number 4 on the way ) she refuses to get them anything to do with brats
she says they look like mini hookers and she doesn't want her daughters getting anything like that
she has them watch powerpuff girls cause she would rather them see girls kicking butt than showing it
btw the 3 girls consists of a set of 4 year old twins and their 2 year old sister

My coworkers get a kick every time they start cracking minority/black jokes when I remind them that I, too, am a minority. I'm Native American, but thanks to the fact that the rest of my heritage is Dutch and English, I don't much look it. It's always fun to have that card to pull when someone tries to whine to me about discrimination.

I'm 1/64th indian. Is that enough to do this routine with?

Damn prostitots.

They should be renamed Slutz, really. O_o And they all have trout pouts.

Trout pouts?

Nope, gotta get assistance from the government, I think it's one eighth. One generation away.

[Interior Desecrator]

I'm sorry, but when I was a kid "brat" had a negative connotation. No one uses "you little brat" as a term of endearment. It's like those girls running around with clothes and accessories that say "Spoiled." Well, honey, thanks for the warning so I can stay out of your way!

Trout pouts?

think angelina jolie's lips and you're pretty much there

Hey, me too! Actually, the percentage that will get you money varies depending on tribe. If you're Navajo, you have to be something like 1/4. But for less large tribes, the amount can be as low as 1/16, I think.

I'm part Iriquois myself.

Trout pout... I like it. I don't trust anyone who has to make an effort to put her lips together.

^-.-^

In my experience, it was 1/8th for funding. I got some books paid for in college, but not much else, and was actually embarassed when they wanted me to become a "Native Aide," as I didn't think the kids would take me seriously, given how I look (not native!)

Not all of us asked or paid for lips like that. I can put mine together, but they are rather large. No one else in the family has them, either.

At the risk of being excessively crude, one of my friends (back when I lived in Vegas) referred to that look as c**k sucking lips. He considered any woman who cultivated that look to be worth taking home once. Only once.

Apologies to the ladies who look that way naturally.

Apology accepted.

By the by, in college, they were referred to as DSL's (same concept, different word for the male anatomy). One of the pictures up on my door my freshman year (of me all done up when I sang with my choir at Carnegie Hall) mysteriously vanished near the end of the year. My future roomie happened to work maintenance that summer, and "found" the picture hanging up in the work room, and was told by the maintenance guys they liked my DSL's. She took the picture back for me.

Cool.

I have Italian/Irish heritage with some Osage Indian as well. I look very Italian though.

I'm right there with you Blake. They are so creepy with their hideously large eyes. I'm sure they come alive at night when everyone is asleep and rearrange things in your house to creep you out.
