Muad Dib High School???? WTF

And tea!

Except it wasn't tea at all. It was AriZona Watermelon Fruit Juice Cocktail.

For the Lean!

And the Liberal media wasn't about to make the story of the year about a black kid with a watermelon flavored drink, so it became tea.

Cornbread?

Dang, Colonel Sanders!!

Don't go for it. Its gay code.

Man, I'd never eaten cornbread until I went to a soul food restaurant...in my 20's.

Yeah, Amos. Check it out.

It's Southern soul food alright.

We like our tea sweet, but not our cornbread.

Geez, what do they feed you people up there?

My mom's family came from Louisiana in 1963 and we always had sugar in ours. She used to use the Jiffy corn muffin mix (versus the unsweetened corn bread mix), and for the longest time, I thought that was how cornbread was.

That said, I prefer hot water cornbread the best. It's basically corn meal mixed with hot water and then promptly deep fried. Gah, I miss having a kitchen!

Oh, and I hate the taste of sweet tea, which to me tastes less like tea and more like sugar dumped into hot water. But perhaps I'll give it a California hippie treatment by steeping stevia leaves in my tea next year for that sweet taste without a shit ton of calories.

I checked it out and its total bullshit. That LEAN stuff is not made with the ingredients they list. Its like they don't know shit about it. Its easy to get the info and it don't work with Skittles or Arizona anything.

I remember the first Pho place.
the first southern food place.
the first Indian food place.
Never saw an Ethiopian place until i was almost 30.

I need to travel more.

This was fun.

Isn't there a sorority called Kappa Kappa Kappa?

Oh, and while I'm not a fan of cutesy misspellings in general, the earlier example in which EVERY SINGLE WORD was changed from C to K is just unforgivable.

Krayola Krayons? Do they make 64 shades of white?

No. You must break all the colors except white. Then put the white crayon back in the box where it will remain untouched.

I was referring to your defense of the KKK and how they were just standing up for the victimized white man.

*sigh* Maud...

I believe it was women and children, since he indicated most of the men were dead n

No, that wasn't the case.

What happened was that during the Military Occupation of the South, no one who had participated in the Confederate Government, which they considered everyone in government, from Jefferson Davis down to the city dog catcher, was allowed to hold office. Basically they took all formal power from the Southern Aristocracy. Which resulted in an informal power structure, the KKK, arising to preserve the old social (and racial) order. Violence and intimidation were the tools of this preservation.

It's funny that Maud talks about how the KKK was some kind of virtuous police force. That's bullshit. It was a bunch of cowardly thugs led by the ancien regime that terrorized freemen, 'sympathizers' and basically anyone that crossed them (think of any other street gang and their code of honor). However Maud's ignorant position is quite an old whitewash. In fact that is the revisionist version told in Birth of a Nation, the movie that inspired William Simmons to found the second KKK in 1915.

Say what you will about them, but you've got to give them credit for their school mascot:

At that point in history women weren't involved in politics anyway.

"And here they are ladies and gentlemen, your Nathan Bedford Forrest football team, THE FLAMING T'S!"

Give forgiveness a try. You're just as fallible as everybody else, give yourself a break and lighten the load. You only carry that heavy sack of guilt until you don't.

What mistake did you make?

It's not fair. People have done far worse than you have done and yet they're happy. They should hold themselves to your standard and be miserable.

Or . . .

You could choose happiness as well. We're all just getting by, killing time until time returns the favor. Might as well enjoy the ride.

No.

But yet you seem perfectly comfortable with keeping tabs on others as well. So which is it?

I do? And you base that on what? Your flapping ass cheeks? Shouldn't you be off chasing Bigfoot's ghost or something? Piss off.

Nothing in there about keeping tabs on other people, you complete fucking asstard. I don't care to hear about all the ways you rationalize excusing your failures.

Shouldn't we learn from our failures in order to become better human beings? Or do you feel that anyone who fails doesn't get a chance to fix their mistake?

Honest question.
