And they should be banned. I cannot begin to count the number of times I’ve witnessed women with black eyes buying black eyed Peas. Probably three times! Three too many.
:smack: <— Another victim of Black Eyed Peas.
Man, you are about 16 different types of weird.
I support your outcry to get black eyed peas banned. Never agains should a smiley face thingy become victim to another black eyed pea. NEVER!
I met those guys after a concert one time. I thought they were really nice, never took them for wife beaters.
But if you are being abused, you can use the black-eyed peas as a vehicle for the poison you feed your abusive spouse prior to wrapping him up in a tarp and dumping him in the lake. Then you and your best friend can live happily ever after selling ham and jelly by the side of the road.
Remember folks, it’s a great Southern tradition to poison your abusive spouse with twelve black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day to bring good luck and his or her death in the new year.
Black-eyed Peas didn’t get that name until after mass production canning was invented. People have thrown these small dry beans at each other for centurys but they were about as harmful as a bag of dead mice.
But throwing wet beans is extra useless so people (being the sadistic bastards we are) started heaving those cans around. After a while the name stuck.
You know, I’ve always liked that restaurant. I had no idea that their corporate policies supported abuse. I shall henceforth boycott them.
Which will be really easy since I moved to a part of the country that doesn’t have any Black Eyed Pea restaurants.
What about Purple-Hull Pink-eyed Peas !?!?!?
What about Black-Eyed Susans? We had those growing wild around our house, where I grew up, and I didn’t even KNOW anyone named Susan; let alone someone named Susan who was an abuse victim.
in addition, let’s avoid culinary proponents of child abuse as well, such as Le Seuer, who advocate throwing jars of Very Young Small Early peas around. The extra adjectives make the cans heavier and deadlier to the little ones!
If you lived in the southwest you’d know about Hantivirus. That bag of dead mice and their turds becomes a biological WMD. 
For some reason this thread reminds me of Emili Litella going on about the eagle rights amendment and endagered feces. Around here being 16 different kinds of weird is a good thing.
