Author Topic: Do you need a black friend? Shane Cooper Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Little Rock, Arkansas Registered: Jun 2004 posted 10-29-2007 09:37 PM                     Well, he can act and think that he is white but he is still black. My reccomendation is to give him two aspirin and a mirror!  |  IP: Logged Pravin Ratnam Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 844 From: Atlanta, GA,USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 10-30-2007 03:01 PM                     Three words - Magic Johnson Theaters. Cops mistake me for black anyway with my buzzed off hair. I too volunteer to be someone's "black" friend. Heh. Hell, Shane, you could always use another black friend. uhh, Aaron, I am from Pittsburgh originally. So I'd like to be with you in some gratuitous Ohio bashing. But I would think twice before saying stuff about Ohio, when you got New Castle as your signature hometown. I stayed their one summer in the 80s. Interrestiiing town. Heh.  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 10-30-2007 04:20 PM                     Shane, next time you're in Richmond, Va. look me up. I already have some Black friends but always need another. Actually I don't care what hue you are you're always welcome here. Hell, anytime anybody here is is in this town look me up.  |  IP: Logged Shane Cooper Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Little Rock, Arkansas Registered: Jun 2004 posted 10-30-2007 08:58 PM                     I can always use any kind of friend...except if they are Steelers fans. I have to have some sort of standard!  |  IP: Logged Pravin Ratnam Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 844 From: Atlanta, GA,USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 10-30-2007 10:45 PM                     I can't talk shit about Ohio State this week. I was born in Penn State. But hey, dont mess with the Steelers.  |  IP: Logged Shane Cooper Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Little Rock, Arkansas Registered: Jun 2004 posted 10-31-2007 11:58 PM                     Well, in your case I will lift the Steelers ban. They still suck on principle.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Mehocic Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 804 From: New Castle, PA, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-03-2007 02:12 PM                     quote: Matt Fields It is spelled Alexis de Tocqueville. You would know that if you went to Ohio State. Sorry about that. Does Youngstown State count? Its still Ohio. quote: Joshua Waaland I'm sorry...and Pennsylvania offers what again? Drivers that don't first pull into (and then ride) the center lane when attempting to make a left turn . Ohio is just an extension of Pennsylvania. Same people, same speech communities, same problems. Uglier geography, though - too flat. Not even your southeastern counties are mountainous enough for me. quote: Shane Cooper Well, in your case I will lift the Steelers ban. They still suck on principle. Well said! Its assumed just because I'm from the "Pittsburgh area" I must be a Steeler fan. I kid you not, we have people in this town who paint their houses Black-and-Gold. THEIR HOUSES! And every dumb-ass over the age of 40 was magically in Three Rivers Stadium back in '72 for the so-called "immaculate reception" by Franco Harris. Hell, I bet I've met ten people who've claimed to be there that day. Thats it . . . I'm done, I don't even want to talk about this anymore.  |  IP: Logged Shane Cooper Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Little Rock, Arkansas Registered: Jun 2004 posted 11-05-2007 01:39 AM                     quote: Mark Gulbrandsen So Shane... What about my Black friend Del who thinks and acts like he's White? Anything I can do for him? In a related story, I had to reluctantly suspend my brother's "black status" for a year this past weekend. My brother, his wife, my wife and I met in Memphis Saturday and Sunday. My brother expressed how happy he was that he had tickets for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. For those that don't know, attended the TSO is currently ranked second in the power rankings for Whitest Things You Can Do. However, TSO is running a distant second to an Osmond's concert and slightly ahead of John Tesh. He is allowed to apply for a lift on his suspension next year.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 11-05-2007 02:42 AM                     I imagine real black people don't even know who TSO is. You gonna revoke your own status for a while? And I'd definitely go to see TSO. Though I would absolutely NEVER go see John Tesh or the Osmond's.  |  IP: Logged Shane Cooper Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Little Rock, Arkansas Registered: Jun 2004 posted 11-07-2007 12:15 AM                     A police officer may never have tasted cocaine but has to know what it is. My knowledge of the TSO falls under a similar category. No sanctions will be needed.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Some real life cops I know get pissed when they see that nonsense. Yeah. Go ahead. Taste the powder. Just hope it isn't poison!  |  IP: Logged Charles Caron Expert Film Handler Posts: 188 From: Billings MT, USA Registered: Jul 2005 posted 11-07-2007 06:44 PM                     Where does watching Laurence Welk reruns on PBS fall on the whiteness scale?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-07-2007 07:38 PM                        That's not "whiteness", that's "oldness".  |  IP: Logged Shane Cooper Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Little Rock, Arkansas Registered: Jun 2004 posted 11-08-2007 12:47 AM                     It is both...along with Roy Orbison and Pat Boone. For the record, they all fall between ice hockey and being in a cult. Hey, I found a couple on line that collects black friends! They love black people  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 11-11-2007 06:47 AM                        John Tess is already in the studio with Pat Boone collaborating on a rap album. Not to be outdone, the Osmonds are planning a hip-hop comeback.  |  IP: Logged
