Cracker pleeeease....... BTW is temorarily repairing my car in a haphazard expedient manner considered "cracker rigging" it? I do know losing my temper and getting violent over a percieved threat is having a "cracker moment."
Cracker is the stupidest racial slur I've ever heard. "Cracker!" Ooooh, I'm shaking in my boots right there.....not. Yet all I have to do is even whisper the word nig***, and watch people practically shit themselves in fear and hysteria.
Only if it isn't owned by whites. And you can only call it Cracker Barrel if you're white. If you're not, you have to refer to it as "The Country Restaurant And Store".
Some folks sure do chump themselves by using old ass black slang. You're the stereotypical 'think he's cool' white dude.
I think this was one point where J.K. Rowling hit it on the head in the Harry Potter series--the whole wizard community was so afraid to speak Voldemort's name and gave him so much more power than he needed to have. Dumbledore, OTOH, had no qualms about calling him by his given name--Tom Riddle. Ya think anyone would fear a guy name Tom? FUCK NO! I'm also reminded of a time that me and my cousins were playing in a park that had from profane graffiti on it. My then six-year-old cousin asked what the word "Fuck" mean. I expected my aunt to whoop his ass and make a sensation about it like my mom would have, but she tells him calmly that it is a word that only ignorant people use. She even goes on to ignore him as he tries to throw the word around for about ten minutes before he realized no one gave him any attention for it. Words have meaning, but they have as much power as you allow them to have. After spending almost a decade of my life here, the level of outrage I personally have for most words has gone down considerably. I honestly forget at times that folks get all jumpy over the word "cunt."
And also, I'm glad I was born black. 27 years old, and I never had a sunburn until last weekend. I guess that was God punishing me for going out to [-]Volpone's old neighborhood[/-] Hillcrest for the Pride Parade and supporting the gheyz. Mine is far from severe, but fuck is that burning sensation around the neck irritating when my uniform top is made of twenty fucking pounds of fabric and it's creeping closer to 80 every day AND I walk to and from work each day.
sunburns are just terrible. The worst one I can remember was when I was maybe 10ish. I blistered myself from my scalp to the bottoms of my feet...even had them on my ears. I can still remember my back being stuck to my sheets in the morning and having to rip off flesh to get up. I wear sunscreen now, but i'm operating under the assumption that i'm doomed anyway.
I usually have these in the house: Spread peanut butter or cheese whiz and you have a nice quick snack. Add deli meat and pickles and you can turn them into a meal.
I can eat saltines and Wheat Thins for example, but cheese based crackers are terrible. Never had any use for them.
