    Is SHRERPL still barfing in the RR? Somebody get him a mop.

    The least he could do is give us an update on his man-crush Scott Hamilton. :garamet:

    How do know it was him and not one of the white drivers? You don't think white folks might hate the racist flag? :bailey:

    If they were building statues to ST characters and what was a socially transformative TV series that came from america and contributed to it's spirit in a great way I would be all for using tax money for it. Why we use tax money to idolize traitors who attacked and killed our military and civilians so they could keep black slaves (because it was not legal to enslave a white person), is beyond me. Our slavery system was not just the slavery of the world by that point. We had pretty much banned taking liberty away from white men and racially identifying black people as property and slave fodder in the US under the constitution. This is not just slavery, this is skin color based slavery that we practiced because you could not keep white people as slaves for no reason like you could brown people. Yet we want statues of the men who killed and massacred americans for that practice in our country as idols we should look up to?

    Give me a break.

    when were you ever to begin with? :shrug: Personally I don't follow the sport and don't care what color the drivers are. Okay that's a lie I might be a little nervous about:

    Jesus Christ, any minute now we'll get to the part of the show where the internet badasses suddenly turn to Scarecrow and Lion, and act scared of garamet.

    Marso/Scarecrow- Garamet ripped my legs off, somebody help me!! :sob:

    Oldfella/Lion- I can't I'm a'scared!! :sob:

    Shirogayne/Dorothy- :sigh: :no:

    Ok, @Shirogayne you need to get your ass off the yellow brick road and join the wicked witch. Don't go back to the farm with @oldfella1962 and @Marso because nothing good is going to come from that.

    Lubak.
    Except he actually doesn't have a heart, like even in the figurative sense that the one from the movie has one.
