If you were a Brotha… would you want to get out on a big patch of ice with a bunch of pissed off white boys with blades on their feet and sticks in their hands?

Well that’s ten. Not bad. My bro thinks there’s one more black person on Montreal too.
Oh, my God, stop it with the “octopi” business.
There is no such word.
I know it sounds like there should be. But octopus does not form its plural that way, because ‘pus’ is not a Latin singular nominative ending. It derives from the Greek for foot. It therefore forms its plural the Greek way. Strictly speaking, then, one might refer to octopoda. As it happens, that usage is confined to describing multiple species of the creature. If one wishes to speak of multiple creatures, one points and shouts, “Hey, Dad, look at all the octopuses!”
