Yep. For actor in a tv miniseries. I wish they would put season 2 up on Netflix.

Didnt care to much for Medicine for Melancholy. It was interesting at first then it got kinda boring. I hated the sound effects, transitional weirdness. Movie tried to be too artsy for its own good. I did think the soundtrack was great. It didnt help that I watched Before Sunset with Ethan Hawke the same day, because in premise they are similar, but Before Sunset has awesome dialog, and i couldnt help but do comparisons.
Lebron, who is the deity of the month in your avatar bro?
Tongues out.
They need to see how thirsty we are or they'll never know

You are so right.
I'm not going to do anything over the top Satch. I'm cool with devo and pro knows I got no beef with her. Its just irritating as fuck when you've got a good fun, community thread like that and it devolves into 15 people quoting the same post over and over trying to get noticed.
and anything is better than making me go outside and pick my own switch :|
I, too, love beautiful women.

"who you gonna believe variations"
"Nah, I ain't going out"
"Huh?"
"Naaaah, I'm sleep"
"Just let me think for a second"
Have been used by me multiple times, can't even hate. Also, dem eyes.

All that and not one line about calling in sick?
Might as well complete the set, I'm done. Thank you for your time.

I'm loving this "Shit *** Say" meme.
I don't say any of those things.

Besides "aight" and "naw" they all were pretty much a miss for me.

Just watched Harlem Nights for the first time in years. It was like watching it for the first time. So good.
I haven't watched that since I was a kid, seeing as I didn't really understand everything I was watching I should probably give it a watch sometimes. I remember my mom hated that I would sometimes watch Raw which had me cursing up a storm. Eddie Murphy was just that dude in the late 80's.

So uh, is anyone else here reppin' Belize-GAF?
You should have thrown a chair and got shit started.
Erm, I'm not sure that's quite in the spirit of the man!
MLK would've hated Lebron too.
What about Kobe?

MLK would have celebrated Kobe for his valiant work ethic and facing adversity with his strength and willpower.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
MLK would have compared today's players to the golden age of hoops and come to the same conclusion as everyone else that they pussies

I knew the whole "missing white women syndrome" the media has was bad, but 40% of missing persons aren't white? Didn't know it was that high.
And going by the numbers, 33% of missing people are black.

Why do white women keep losing their kids?

would it really help anyway since to so many non-black people, all black people look alike?
they've got money so they aren't worried about the tax credit...

Wait....we have this stereotype too now? I've heard it applied to East Asians a lot but never black people.

There have been studies that suggest that this happens to every group to some extent, even white people who have a similar phenotype. Obviously it's difficult to confuse people with obvious, less nuanced differences like hair color (You wouldn't confuse Christina Hendricks with January Jones for instance), but it's not out of bounds for non-white groups to think that say "All Swedes look similar" or something. There was a really good book on this, I will try and track it down.
But yeah, that's a stereotype (At least in America), surprised you've never heard it. I think that Samuel L Jackson and Laurence Fishborne have said that they used to get confused with one another a lot.
You would be surprised at how....out of touch some whites are when it comes to blacks and black culture. For instance, when Beyonce had her baby, I saw the comment section of some places saying things like "Isn't he that fuck who attacked Taylor Swift" and "Wasn't he the one that said Bush hates blacks, I wonder how he feels about Obama hating whites!" and so on and so fourth.....actually quite funny in a way.
Edit : I don't think that confusing people is necessarily racist, mind you. Common sense dictates that people of a similar background should look similar.

It's my money and I want it now. I'm making it rain with my refund check. And I'll be back to borrowing gas money by next week.
Sad part is, everyone knows someone like this.
Edit:
"Each tree has 56 oranges. If eight slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?"
Anybody have math problems like this growing up?
It should also be noted that the PS2 version of GTA:SA alone is the top-selling game ever released on PlayStation hardware.
...but yes I will admit that I related to the characters in SA more than those of any other GTA game.
Borrowing gas money for a car that has rims on it that are worth more then the rest of the car.
