[QUOTE=VCO3] and then a commercial comes on which makes my brain explode outward through my eye sockets and nose, fanning the inside of the windshield in front of me with blood and brain matter. [/QUOTE] Could have been worse, could have been a vital organ. ---

Mebbe the evil voices in the radio said squab, and this is an anti-poultry rant. Most likely, the voices in the radio said STFU, but were ignored. ---

I thought this was going to be a rant about the [squib kick](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squib_kick), and I could have totally gotten on board with that. Sadly, it was not to be. ☹ ---

[QUOTE=askeptic] Rent the movie Blazing Saddles. Then slap yourself for not having seen it already. [/QUOTE] Hey, I’ve seen it. I just don’t spend my days memorizing movie quotes! But yeah, wikipedia mentions it on the disambiguation page (lower down than your reference) as an offensive racial slur in some circles. It actually comes from ‘mongoloid’ through the fact that Down’s syndrome people were given that name due to their epicanthic folds. It carries the same connotation as ‘retarded’ (and for that matter might be the origin of that character’s name) but since it’s based on a traditional racial classification it might be a good insult to avoid in the future. ---
