yeah, me too. I’m hella hungry. hey, that’s slang. it’s etymology dates back to the mid 90’s located in northern california. hella = very or a lot of. I had chicken sandwiches for lunch though. ---

You people are still talking about ebonics? I thought that was a long discredited theory (and if _that_ ain’t fishing for trolls…) But on the other hand maybe you meant phonics. Cecil had a column on that this week, but he didn’t answer one thing I wanted to know. If you can be “Hooked on Phonics,” shouldn’t “phonics” be a banned substance? I know one poor relative of mine who got “hooked on phonics,” and now she can’t stop reading and writing. Other people laugh but it’s costing her mom a fortune in pencils and paper. These “phonics” can’t be any less addicitive than marijuana. Marijuana…should it be legal? OK, I know there was another thread on this, but, still, have all the arguments been examined yet? I mean, there were only about 100-odd posts in the thread and yet there are over 9,000 SDMB members. There must be still a lot of SDMB’ers out there with a valid opinion! Anyone? ---

Since we’re on the topic of linguistics, what exactly is a simul-post or whatever duke said. now in the spirit of the thread, i need to get off the topic. I have to type very quietly because someone is giving their presentation and the keyboard makes noise if i don’t make conscious effort to be silent. ---

Duke, the whole marijuana thing was covered extensively in GD and GQ. WHY people start threads in MPS when it CLEARLY belongs in GD or GQ or the fuckin Pit is beyond me. I mean, what the fuck? Can we have JUST normal random shit in here? DO we have to have fucking debates? AARGH! ---

yeah, my corns were roasting too, but I decided to soak my feet like my podiatrist said… but he’s not my personal podiatrist, I mean, not like my van is my personal van - well, except that it’s not really mine either for 2 more years - can you believe it takes 5 or 6 years to pay off a new vehicle? I’d like a toasted bagel, please. would someone pass me an afghan? ---

whoa whoa whoa, let’s all relax here. this doesn’t need to get out of hand. nobody here is going to Cuba. let’s all just calm down and think this through. i personally feel that afghans suck, not like devays. they are all puffy and comfortable. know who else was puffy? the marshmallow puff man. the ghost busters could barely stop him. i mean, if the ghost busters barely stop you, you know you’re puffy. when did i start talking about puff daddy? ---

I always wanted an Afghan, you know one of those dogs with the really long body and a lot of hair. And they have a long snout like a anteater… But what is the difference between an anteater and an aardvark? Location maybe? Did I tell everyone that my trip to NYC was put off until my hubby and I have more money… BTW, this guy offered me money to have sex with him. Should I accept? **this is a joke!!!** ---

Uuuuuuum, while aardvarks and anteaters share similar characteristics, i still have an odd fascination with the lovable wallaby. This one time, my friend who works at McDonalds gave me four big macs when i only ordered one. so i ate them. the next day i was very ill. i haven’t eaten a big mac in roughly three months. but i guess that’s nothing. i haven’t eaten a banana in over nine years. you don’t even need potassium. it’s just a CIA conspiracy to keep the colombian banana industry alive, so they can smuggle crack into our country using that fine lookin chiquita woman. where’s the lobster? ---

Steeljaw, I just checked, and the bananas here in Wisconsin come from the Dominican Republic, not Colombia. So I think your CIA conspiracy thing may be wrong. Unless you think the CIA is operating in more than one banana republic? Anybody know a good CIA link?
