sorry, that last post was a misunderstanding by me. i read VDarlin’s post and thought it was OpalCat. As if i didn’t look bad enough already in this thread. :o
Having ridden in a friend’s BMW, I can say it was a really, REALLY nice car. Very comfortable.
and
one
more
thing…
The “grabbing of ther crotch” syndrome.
When will it end already???
The last time I checked we ALL had one, so what is the big deal?
Nothing personal. I know there are people who only value, uh, value. Whether it’s personal possessions or what’s in someone’s bank account. Some of these people at least admit it. The rest should.
So to get back on topic:
Using the Muppets to sell stuff. Did you see that commercial with Statler and Waldorf? Not even close to the original voices. What’s that I hear? Jim Henson spinning at Mach 7.
Whoever brought back Alf of all things should imediately and permanently be banned from employment anywhere for any reason.
Opalcat
…and men would seek these shallow bimbos out?
…and have you been living in a nunnery all of your life? Men will ask anything out that is female and pretty and buy whatever turns these females on in order to just get laid.
I know girls who get turned on by nice cars. Especially expensive, hot ones.
Now, can we stop picking at cainxinth and drop the subject?
I second the notion about Alf. I never did like that furry prick when he first came on TV.
They would like you to be aware of how small theirs is.
I’ll vote for folks who use presidential approval ratings as “proof” that G. W. Bush is competent. That’s as silly as saying McDonalds is gourmet dining because they peddle more meat than anyone else.
(And what’s wrong with T-shirts bearing corporate logo parodies? I likes 'em! 
)
Today I saw 5 (count’em FIVE) young men wearing the huge pants and baggy shirt look, and it looked like they were holding their crotches. Maybe they were holding up their pants, I don’t know and don’t want to know.
The thug look. Thuggin’ is not cool, sorry, kids. And you still look like middle class white boys livin’ at home no matter what you wear.
Tropical prints and neon/flourescent colors. Does the fashion industry think ANYONE looks good in lime green with safety orange accents???
Hey! I like Hawaiian shirts! Especially the ones that glow under Black light! 
Sorry, is that supposed to make me like them?
Oh, I think phat will eventually die out. It will go the way of groovy, copacetic, and “gimme five”. I’m sure a lot of kids thought those fabulous 70’s expressions were set in stone.
Use whatever expressions you want. Those particular ones happen to annoy me, but hey - I’m rapidly becoming an old fart and I’ll just have to deal with it;)
BTW, I hate “awesome” too. And in the interest of equal time, I’ll mention some other “white” expressions I’ll be glad to see the end of:
That’s do-able
Let’s do lunch
24-7
“K” for thousand (He’s pulling down 200K)
no-brainer
Beemer
[shudder]
I know what you were saying, and I’m saying it’s shallow for women to be attracted to a car. There’s more to life than a car. I’m not saying it doesn’t occur, just that it’s shallow.
-
Reality (and I use that term loosely) TV Shows
-
Musicians (and I use that term loosely) who put marketing before artistry
-
Patriots (and I use that term loosely) who aim to cram the American flag down everyone’s throats
This is correct. It is a short hairstyle with a longer strip down the middle. It’s a hairstyle that says, “Hey, a couple of months ago I had a very short mohawk, and I just haven’t bothered to cut my hair since then!” Either that or “My skull has a ridge!”
Bell bottoms.
The 70’s are over, people.
and you want a woman like that? Says a lot about the type of guy you are…:rolleyes:
Sorry bout that last post, was so apalled, I hit “quote” without reading the rest of the thread…
Trends I hate:
tattoos everywhere
big baggy pants
jewelry in nose or eybrow
makeup that imitates the pallor of a corpse
S.U.V.'s and pickups for ‘townies’
ultra-thin eyebrows
Trends I like:
women showing their midriffs
low-slung pants on women
the natural look
women being more sexual and demonstrative
People who put ecological bumper stickers on their SUVs.
People who put patriotic bumper stickers on their SUVs (ya’ wanna know where Bin Laden got his money??)
BTW, as someone who enjoys hip-hop as an art form, I have to question it’s definition as “music”, in the same way that I would question that definition for beat poetry.
Pablito,
I’m with you on the ultra-thin eyebrow thing. What’s worse though is when the eyebrow is completely shaved off, and DRAWN IN, usually in a look of suprise. Sometimes I just wanna sneak up on a girl like that and scream “boo!” to see if her expression would even change. Of course, most girls like that could kick my ass so I’ll keep my thoughts to myself.
SUV’s in freakin’ SAN FRANCISCO. It’s hard enough to drive in the city without those behemouths taking up 2 or 3 parking spaces at a time, hogging up the already too-small lanes and blocking my vision so I can’t see the 50 or so j-walkers I’m about to run over.
Blowero, who said you had to like the expression “phat.” I was defending my right to speak anyway I feel comfortable, so long as it doesn’t violate board rules. If I told someone from the South that I hoped expressions he used would “go away” he would be justifiably offended. I attempted to explain the reason why I speak in the manner I do so that you would appreciate where I was coming from and perhaps even acknowledge that you had offended me. Unless something I say is inflammatory or exceptionally crude I would prefer if you kept your distaste of my manner of speech to yourself.
Also, groovy, copacetic, and "gimme five” are all still very much a part of colloquial speech in America, they are used all the time. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for black culture’s linguistic influence to dissipate.
And finally about the damn wheels!!! I was NOT trying to say that I like cheap, money grubbing women.
Mr. Blue Sky posted this:
And I explained that those wheels are not meant to help the ride comfort they are meant to make the car look more attractive. I didn’t deny your right to dislike those wheels; I said that I thought they did make cars look better. I then added that the reason to do such a thing is usually to attract the opposite sex. Much to my amazement, both OpalCat and dead0man then posted that I was mistaken, as no women could be shallow enough to be attracted to a man because of his car. And Mr. Blue Sky added that these women might exists but they are all whores. If my several polite corrections haven’t gotten this across already let me clear it up now. Many, many, many women, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of women are attracted to guys who owns big expensive cars with big expensive wheels, and they are not whores (at least not all of them), they are just more superficial than you (or I). What makes them do it? I don’t know, an overwhelming desire for financial security probably.
** Omnivore** was the only person who backed me up and realized that I was describing not promoting this lifestyle.
