gimme dem ducats

How bad is this economic crisis? New York street artists are setting up Bar Mitzvah signing boards with images of former CEOs for laid-off workers to sign.





oh supply-side economics

After 19 years, I finally found out who is responsible for those awful paintings outside of every nail salon in every metropolitan city in the world: Patrick Nagel



ewwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Turns out he died at age 38 of a heart attack the same day he participated in a 15-minute charity "Aerobathon" for the American Heart Association. Haha, ok that's pretty ironic. I guess he served his dues. My only problem is I feel like those Nazi hunters searching for Dr. Death in Argentina even after his son said "christ i've had one letter from my dad in 50 years and he's 98 if alive anyway just give it a rest."

well i ahhh you see.... i just want old vietnamese ladies to not be subjected to this crap for 45 hours a week. it's honorable.

RFK

New rule: White people are not allowed to edit Wikipedia articles about rap.

Example 1: Yet they still manage to retain hardcore themes, such as their desire to have women (preferably with a tongue ring) perform fellatio on them (Track 12: Tongue Ring), gang affiliations (Track 21: Put Ya Signs), smoking marijuana (Track 6: I'm So Hi), as well as many other themes throughout the album.

from When The Smoke Clears: Sixty 6, Sixty 1

Example 2: The music video includes several moments of surreal imagery. In one notable scene, Ludacris meets a young groupie. She appears more than delighted with her new catch. Viewers may ascertain that she is from out of town and thus unaware of the threat posed by the giant chicken she is eating. She attempts to initiate a passionate kiss but the make-out session is interrupted when her butt starts growing like crazy.

from Stand Up

On a side note, because of this post I just found out that it's now impossible to Google search pictures of "white people" because everything that pops up is from stuffwhitepeoplelike.com(San Francisco, coffee, The Wire season 3 DVD). That's the 21st Century white man's burden.

update:
Example 3:

The song tells a story in which Warren G., while looking for some "skirts" (women), is mugged in Long Beach, California. Nate Dogg is trying to find Warren G. at the same time, and when he finds that Warren G. is getting mugged, he kills the people mugging him. The two then look for women together, whom they eventually find. The term regulate means to lay down the law by using force, or to return things to their normal status. The goal of a regulator is to eliminate an overly dramatic or dangerous situation. The song popularized the term "Regulators! mount up" which is now often said by Dog the Bounty Hunter, which is a line taken from the movie Young Guns (the first 3 lines heard in the song are sampled from the movie)

from Regulate

This one is not just dorky, but ruins a great song. They just had to bring up Young Guns? How can I enjoy Nate Dogg's smooth-ass hooks when all I can think of is Lou Diamond Phillip's portrayal of Jose Chavez y Chavez?

The stairs are blocked

So I'm watching the GOP convention because I hate myself and I'm noticing every speech directed towards how awesome Palin is sounds like every Bar Mitzvah speech given in history. From an outsider's view it sounds really condescending because the average 13-year old is good at nothing except playing Nintendo and getting boners in class. But the parents are actually being sincere when to the hotel staff it seems like the most subtle roast they've seen in their life.

so to sum up the last 3 days:

1. hurricane
2. joe liebermann is an uncle tom.
3. guiliani just laughed at obama having the audacity to help poor black people to a stadium filled with rich white people and the entire stadium joined him in laughing.
4.

well ah gee donchaknow.
