Foreign Affairs / Re: Obama Vs McCain Round 2 Of The Debates by crisp: 1:13pm On Oct 16, 2008
@chucksd

Beautiful analysis! Racism is more often seen in things suppressed than in racist chants and banners; more in deprivation and indifference than all-out expressions of attack. Subtle but with strong impact.

The synonym for the whole analysis + more is Republicans!

Negro_Ntns:

For those who do not know the codes, let me help clarify what these terms mean. I will tell it in urban folks understanding and I will tell it in small town America's understanding.

Urban interpretation

Moose burger - animal cruelty, bad taste, disgusting

Pregnant Teenagers - rebel, drug, clubbing, school drop-out

Hockey sticks - white sports, aggression

Small town interpretation

Moose burger - hunting, gun, trophy, custom, territory

Pregnant teenagers - family pride, maturity, tradition

Hockey sticks - community, competition, bragging rights, leadership


I wonder where you got that interpretation from. Pregnant teenagers, family pride based on small town mentality? Seriously doubt

Sarah Palin Exposed
Levi Johnston - Palin’s Future Son-in-Law
with 5 comments

It’s out. The name of the guy who impregnated the governor’s daughter is Levi Johnston.

In his blog he introduces himself as a 17-year-old guy who likes to play hockey. Although he hasn’t updated his blog since last December, newspapers are reporting he’s still 17 and is entering his senior year at Wasilla High School.

And apparently, he’s a jock in every sense of the word. In his December 17, 2007 blog entry he writes:

“god, I fucking hate math.  Why do they make this shit so complicated.  sorry for cussing but this is stupid.  Why on earth would I ever need to know x and y and all that.  I’m going to be a hockey player.  I don’t need the quadratic equation tyvm.  Bristol knows math though, thank good.  She helps me with it.  Hopefully I can just pass this class and get on with it.”

So Bristol was helping him out with his Math. That’s hilarious. And he took full advantage of her. Johnston also stresses that he won’t need to study for a real job because he’s going to become a professional hockey player. Wow, I guess that won’t happen anymore. What kind of job is this guy going to get though?

According to his blog, his greatest achievement seems to be that he made Varsity Ice Hockey at Wasilla High School. So this guy wants to marry Bristol? How is he going to provide for his family? Oh yeah, I see, his parents-in-law are going to help him find a government job.

Johnston says he met Bristol in August, 2007 and had a big crush on her right away. His August 27 blog entry has the title “Met Someone” and reads:

“Her name is Bristol.  and she is HOT.  I’ve been with girls before, but I think this is the one.  what do you think?”

Since his rise to fame, Johnston’s blog has become quite popular. Here’s one of the latest replies on his blog, possibly from one of his friends:

“DoooD, Your huge popular now, you tagged the right G.O.P. betty to buy your way into the NHL and more …… Be Proud Of Your Sperm !! ( do some talk shows and make a cool million )”



Johnston also has a MySpace page, in addition to his own website. The New York Post published the following excerpts:

“I’m a f—in’ redneck” who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes.

“But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s- - - and just f - - -in’ chillin’ I guess.”

“Ya f - - - with me I’ll kick [your] ass.”

Johnston also maintains he is “in a relationship” but adds “I don’t want kids.” Oops, I guess that’s not going to work out anymore. Who knows? Maybe he was pressured into agreeing to marriage. He could change his mind though.



Its amazing how politics take the upper hand even in family and private issues. Does the guy described above come across as 'husband'? NA HUSBAND BE DAT shocked?. Na wa o. The main problem i have with the whole thing is the Palin's speech on it. All of a sudden, what her daughter did was now the beautiful thing to do, with her painting the 'happilly ever after' scenario.

Then it still amazes me how the Republicans did such a shoddy job in their selection of a VP. Everyday, more and more negative publicity would  come their way with this woman they have chosen.

I fully agree with those who accuse her of hypocrisy or how else would you explain this:

You do everything politically possible to ensure your ex-brother-in-law's appointment is terminated without basis. This is a man with nine children, nine mouths to feed! You now come out to talk about strong family values and favorable family welfare. If this is not hypocrisy, then what is?
Family / Re: Your Child Says, "Daddy, Mommy, I'm Gay!" by crisp: 11:04am On Aug 28, 2008
@ topic

I would say 'of course, u should always be gay, i didn't have a sad child' grin

But seriously, at that point in time, that word (gay) would have only one meaning (which i will readily vehemently defend) which is HAPPY!

Another meaning? Haven't heard of it. lipsrsealed

  Re: The Worst Food You've Ever Eaten !!
« #145 on: April 04, 2008, 01:10 PM » 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i have this aunt who's very, very adventurous when it comes to culinary skills. She can come up with a wide variety of food combinations that can actually expedite ones journey to the grave! But because she's a very nice individual and has the best of intentions, some of us who are dear to her have had to endure the minutes of gulping down these poison sorry, food, with plastic smiles and complimentary remarks God help you if you leave out the complimentary remarks

Now one of most amazing combinations I'v encountered with her is Akamu (pap) with cooked rice now wait for this mixed together .

On learning about our menu for the day, virtually every family member came up with reasons to abscond or abstain (e.g 'Sorry I'v got to leave, something just came up'; 'I'm on a special diet, won't be able to join you"; I'll eat mine later. Just leave it in the pot"wink .  Muggins (now that's me) was feeling so considerate and decided to make her happy by eating.

In retrospect, that was the singular most suicidal action I'v ever taken . I still live with the regret.

Now this size issue is complicated in my case undecided I can conveniently wear a size 8 top, while i have a size 10 waist (on rare occasions, size 8 would do just fine) and an uncompromising size 12 (almost going 14) hips. Know of any designer that would meet my specification in, say, a skirt suit? undecided

Autos / Re: Best New Car Under 4 Million Naira. by crisp: 12:51pm On Jun 18, 2008
I'm surprised Chevrolet cars are being critisized here in the area of fuel consumption. I use a Chevrolet (Aveo) and have abosolutely no complaints about the car. In fact i purposely tested its fuel consumption last week. I filled my tank on Friday on the way back home from the office, travelled to Ibadan on Saturday, toured different parts of Ibadan, came back to Lagos on Sunday and still had enough fuel to carry me through Monday(to and from the office) and Tuesday morning. I stay on the Mainland but work on the Island (Lagos). Now if that is not good fuel consumption, what is? I'v used the car for almost a year and have absolutely no regrets kiss

I would also recommend a Skoda anytime. I have a number of people around me who use the brand and they all have good stories to tell. it is a rugged brand. My brother uses both Octavia and Superb ( both Skoda brands) and is planning getting the new Octavia for his wife!

Sometimes the best way to find out the best car to buy is asking people using the brands u are considering and which brands have cult followership. It is atimes an indicator of satisfaction derived from its performance. And of course, some of the security issues mentioned are very, very important.
Education / Unilag Mba Entrance Exam Past Questions. Anyone? by crisp: 11:40am On Jun 18, 2008
Hello all.

I'm desperately in need of past questions that can help with the entrance exam. As it is, I'm kind of rusty (left Uni 10years ago) and can't remember the last exam ( in whatever written form) I'v written.

Pls save a soul kiss

Jokes Etc / Re: Lie Detector et al by crisp: 9:54am On May 23, 2008
A professor invented a lie detecting chair. Whenever anybody sitting in it told a lie, the chair would open up and dump the liar on the floor. During an experiment, a brunette sat in the chair and the professor asked her to tell about herself.
She began, "I think you are the best teacher I've ever had."
The chair immediately dumped her on the floor.
After the brunette left in a snit, a blonde sat in the chair. The professor asked her to tell something of her life.
She began, "I think -"
The next thing she knew, she was sitting on the floor.
