> [@Askia](#): > > True. But in the spirit of the thread, this has now morphed into a de facto “Ask the black guy” threads so I feel compelled to riff a minute. Let me start by answering a few posts. Alright, I’ll ask a couple of questions: Do you know Paul? He’s a black guy, about yay tall? His friends call him “G” (which doesn’t make any sense because his last name doesn’t start with a G, but whatever)? What goes better with fried chicken? A 40 of malt liquor (provided I pour some out for my homeys) or grape soda? ---

Asking dumb questions because you really don’t know (and really are dumb) is one thing, asking them as a sly way of reinforcing negative stereotypes is quite another. Not funny. ---

Ohhhhh-- you know G? Yeah, I know that fool. (whips out .357) TELL THAT FOOL I SAID TO BREAK HIMSELF! (Empties chamber firing over **jakeline’s** head.) Got that? Then tell him, "Nah, nah. **Askia** said he was just playin.’ Quit being such a bitch.’ > [@](#): > > What goes better with fried chicken? A 40 of malt liquor (provided I pour some out for my homeys) or grape soda? Grape soda, mos def. If you know as many dead homeys as I do, by the time you finish pouring out some for each of them, you aine gonna gave but three chugs and belch left. Which I wouldn’t mind necessarily if them niggas would just pitch in and buy me a new 40 e’rry once in a while. Damn. Why dead niggas gotta be so broke? **Leviosaurus,** when the stick is inserted up your ass, is it lubed for easy penetration or do your hork that shit up dry? THIS IS AN UN-PC ZONE, yo.

A lot of this thread has taken that approach, and I can assure you, as I was sitting next to jakeline and laughing when she typed it, that she wasn’t trying to reinforce anything but the humor in this thread. Sheeeeeeeit. ---

Tell **jakeline** she gets “kewl points” from me for correct usage of the phrase, ‘about yay tall.’ That was a nice touch. ---

Man, I can’t get away with shit in this thread. OK, OK, you got me – the girl ain’t all white. She got a l’il bit of the south-of-the-border in ‘er. I’mma sidestep the question ‘bout stirrin’ brown sugar in her cream right quick, tho’. :eek: I just figgered if I said she was mixed, I’da lost more street cred. Seems like I ain’t got none 'round here anyhow, 'tho. :::clears throat::: But, I seem to have digressed.

> [@Askia](#): > > Sammich is both a legitimate (mostly) southeastern regional pronounciation for sandwich and a slang term for a particularly _slamming_ sandwich. With roasted meat, buttered, toasted bread, deli cold cuts with watercress and all that shit. > > It is NOT infantile babytalk. :dubious: When six-foot-ten brothas with voices so deep their highest octave is a baritone ask for sammiches, you’d best make them the damn best sammiches you ever made. If there’s places where it’s routinely pronounced “sammich”, that’s fine. I can deal. It’s just that I’ve never heard anyone _say_ “sammich” - I’ve only seen it on the internet, where it comes across as a twee affectation. > [@](#): > > As for the jelly/jam controversy: it is always called jelly irrespective of whether the substance may actually be a jam, preserve, fruit butter or marmalade. IMHYUCO, jams are best. Yes! Exactly. Thank you. Incidentally, I have to say you’re very articulate, **Askia**. 🙂 Hey, do you know where I can get some weed? ---

> [@jakeline](#): > > I just had to jump in here. I know that this at least used to happen quite a bit. My dad speaks spanish with a bit of an american accent, and when he was younger, he would get shit from the recent immigrants. However, this was in the Imperial Valley in California and quite a few years ago, so YMMV. > > I certainly don’t get people telling me that, but that’s because I’m REALLY white and don’t look the least bit like my dad’s side of the family. Similarly I understand it’s perfectly possible to get shit in Wales for not being Welsh enough, which may even be a bigger crime than being English (I said _may_ be). My mate Thom told me of a time he and his da went into a pub in North Wales and Thomas Sr. ordered in English. One of the locals, hearing this, muttered something in Welsh about bloody foreigners coming in here and can’t speak the Language. Whereupon Thom’s da chewed him out in flawless Welsh for about five minutes without deviation, hesitation or repetition. (It helps to know that Thom didn’t speak a word of English until he went to school.) ---
