They feel kinda good, but best of all if one broke loose - who would know? You on the other hand, just keep your head up your ass. Hopefully your air will run out soon and your brain cells will start to die off, but then again - who would know? ---

Huh? ::wandering in late, as usual:: Oh, yeah, the hipness style-subtance thingy. Yawn. It’s Count of Monte **Cristo** , btw. And “I could **n’t** care less”. The other way means, well, the opposite. As for “gotta know” lists, get in line. Ain’t no shortage of self-proclaimed arbiters–pop culture, high culture, science, poli sci, whatever–armed with _essentials_ for others to meet. Gimme a break. Or better yet, get some enlightened, informed perspective, **DalovinDJ**. Knowing current patter and permutations is fun but even finer when put into perspective. Otherwise it has all the color, sheen, depth and durabilty of lip gloss. Frankly any moron can keep current with pop culture and be funny/hip about it. There’s a qualitative difference–and the bar’s set much higher through info overload–between selctive, broad perspective and “gotta know/gotta quote” trendy schlock. Not that your riff isn’t fun, understand. Run amok. It just ain’t remotely impressive or persuasive. But hey, knock yourself out. Veb ---

FTR, I haven’t lived with mommy for almost 22 years, but then again, maybe that _really_ isn’t what you said, I mean knowing that problem of comprehending your own words and all, who would be surprised? ---

Diane, I’ve been living with my mommy for 22 years (as I’m only 22… ;)) So am I allowed to call Bean Counter childish names? ---

Sure, just be careful, he gets pretty brutal. :rolleyes: BTW, thanks for making me feel old. I could have been changing your diapers and giving you baths at the time I moved away from home. But hell, it’s never too late to start, eh? 😉 ---

Vanilla Ice was cool once for a minute or two but was he ever hip? [http://windoms.sitek.net/~lyrics/vanilla.htm](http://windoms.sitek.net/~lyrics/vanilla.htm) "Take heed, 'cause I’m a lyrical poet Miami’s on the scene just in case you didn’t know it My town, that created all the bass sound Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground 'Cause my style’s like a chemical spill Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel Conducted and formed, This is a hell of a concept We make it hype and you want to step with this Shay plays on the fade, slice like a ninja Cut like a razor blade so fast, Other DJs say, “damn” If my rhyme was a drug, I’d sell it by the gram Keep my composure when it’s time to get loose Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice If there was a problem, Yo – I’ll solve it! Check out the hook while Deshay revolves it. Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla Yo man – Let’s get out of here! Word to your mother! Ice Ice Baby Too cold, Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold, Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold" ---

My favorite was when Vanilla came back with a “Hard Core” act. They interviewed him and he said “All that old stuff is behind me, I’m on some new shit now. Some HARD shit.” or something to that effect. Then they cut to his “New” act, and they were singing . . .any guesses? Ice Ice Baby. Only a death-metal version. Some people are just gluttons. Did anyone see him freak out on MTV with a baseball bat? DaLovin’ Dj ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dalovindj \* > \*\* Did anyone see him freak out on MTV with a baseball bat? > > \*\* I saw that. It seemed that he scared the shit out of the people on the set. I couldn’t tell if it was a setup, or if Vanilla Ice finally went fucking nuts. ---

\ultress\, As promised, yours is the last word on this topic. However, I can’t help but ask. Did you have a younger sibling compose that little zinger for you? I hope so, because if that’s your idea of a coherent response, I suddenly feel quite guilty engaging you in any kind of debate. Enjoy the weekend. Ciao! ---

> [@](#): > > I would have expected a better flame! I would have expected more refinement! I would have expected more wit! Hell, I would have accepted maturity, even! I hope it taught you not to expect something you aren’t going to get. If I truly gave a shit about you enough to work up a steam, then yeah, you’re gonna get the full throttled flame. However, when I don’t know who you are nor do I give a shit one way or another, you get the lethargic, generic, run of the mill, token flame. When I see you as anything more than background noise, I may put a little more thought and effort into it. Until then, you aren’t worth the effort it takes to whip up something really good. I’ll let you know if and when that ever happens, M’kay Sweetie Pie? ---

Well, **Redfury** , I normally don’t have, but in your case I’ve got a six-year-old that is helping me out so that I can get down to your level of understanding. Need to learn to work on your codes there, too. You should have lurked a little longer, or at least read the Straight Dope page before you started posting. I wouldn’t really consider this a debate, and besides the little guy helping me has to leave so anything I’d post to you would be above your understanding after this. So feel free to have the last word. That’s not an important issue to me and you aren’t really worth taking up the bandwidth for at this point in time. Maybe with a little guidance from some other poster that has time for you, you might turn out a decent thought once in a while. It sure hasn’t happened yet. Have yourself some fun this weekend!
