ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. ZARDOZ GOING THROUGH TOO MANY BALES OF DELIVERY PLANT MATERIAL…BRUTAL CO-WORKERS SUGGEST REHAB TO CLEAN UP AND FLY RIGHT. Â BEFORE ZARDOZ CHECKS IN, HE GIVES THESE LINKS TO YOU.
- ZARDOZ DOES NOT UNDERSTAND JAPANESE BRUTALS…
- A FLORIDA
BRUTALPRIMATE… - BRUTAL NATION OF PHILIPPINES GETS EVEN MORE TROUBLE…
- US BRUTALS APPEAR TO HAVE TROUBLE MEASURING ECONOMY…
ZARDOZ NEEDS TO GO CHOOSE A FACILITY AND ADMIT SELF. ZARDOZ WILL SEE WHAT REHAB CENTER POLICIES SAY ABOUT PROVIDING LINKS TO HIS CHOSEN ONES.
ZARDOZ CAN ELIMINATE THE ONE ON LOWER RIGHTÂ – NO FLIGHT PATH
A FLORIDA BRUTAL PRIMATE…
That was a bit weird. Of course, if he lived in Montana, he could run for Congress
(yeah I know, cishet shitlord me assume the violent simian is a male)
“huge rock” lol. It wasn’t a pebble, but come on.
ZARDOZ WINEHOUSE?
Someone is gunning for the 27 club
Both Keith and Mick are 73? How do I make my dyslexic joke?
I contend that Keith has been dead since, at least, the 70’s. But through chemical use and arcane ritual his soul has been bound to his mortal flesh. He will never die.
3 foot 6 makes him more suitable for gay porn. RTFA That he can’t stand on his own feet for more than five minutes or open a bottle without assistance does not turn off fans. Oooooh. Nevermind.
Yo!
Can I get a cold beverage?

Would have been awesomer if the little Black kid was balancing a watermelon slice on his head. The corn in the shit, as it were.
I just assumed that a Florida brutal primate is Steve Smith. I mean this guy is like bigfoot, Sasquatch, and the Himalayan ice rape creature all rolled into one.
STEVE SMITH IS RAPESQUATCH. OTHERS ARE KIN.
STEVE SMITH FAVORITE VEGETABLE IS PUMP-KIN. YOU GET? STEVE SMITH MAKE FUNNY.
STEVE SMITH NO SKUNK APE, THAT HIS RETIRED COUSIN, ABE SMITH.
Fag, nigger, chink, jap, rug muncher, cracker, wop, spic, kraut, gook, frog, and Swede. Stop using those words.
What do they have against people who ride Harleys?
And can we still use mick, dago, wop, limey, sheep-shagger, and welshman?
What do you call a Welshman with a sheep under each arm?
bigamist?
Lwcus?
A fucking thief?
Hitler?
I read those comments twice and still missed your dago. Sigh. Time to go to bed.
“…we need to get this word out in the open to understand the gravity of what happened….”
What happened is: while a person was upset during an athletic competition (likely with a high level of adrenaline), he used a word the reporter didn’t like.
Shit people. When the guy takes his baseball bat out and beats down the pitcher, THEN we’ll talk. Until then, grow up.
I love being told how much of a shrinking violet I am.
Seriously, one of my friends self-describes as “a big sloppy bottom raised by ass-lovin’ clowns”. How would these idiots react to him?
When will they go after Tony Dungy?
oh, and… I’ll bet…

What’s the most derogatory-possible term for “Canadian”? I can’t think of an even slightly-disrespectful one.
Frenchie? That’s all I got.
American
Lol. Two ships passing.
Nothing would piss off a Canadian more right?
American?
Canadian?
I was never quite sure if “Canuck” was supposed to be derogatory.
It doesn’t matter if it supposed to be or not. If you say it’s derogatory, then everyone needs to stop saying it.

What’s the polite word for Swedish person?
Swede. Or dumb-ass.

So I can still say dago?

I think if you are using a bale at a time….maybe it isn’t such a bad idea?
But if you’re a giant floating head, the bale probably just fills the pipe.
I wonder what he does about not having lungs?
It is my belief that the head has a full set of organs. Just not arranged in any way we would recognize. I mean, he pukes guns for gods sake.
It’s probably quite heady at that point.
Should I have been demanding drugs for blowjobs all these years?
YES, Even if you enjoy it. Always get the drugs. If not for yourself, then others.
*takes notes*
It isn’t too late to start. You could settle for rum if you’re feeling generous.
CAREFUL!
No, no. Let him talk. I like what I’m hearing.
*Sets hands to gropey*
I did just get a new bottle of rum.
this made me laugh
I’d drink it.
If you didn’t get anything out of it, you were doing it wrong.
Satisfaction of a job well done?
*thunderous ovation*
Did you just stand and erupt?
I wouldn’t get too excited until the Yelp reviews come in.
My mom has been a rehab counselor for almost 30 years. The stories she’d tell of addicts (of course harder stuff than just weed) having sex with animals were the bomb. They sound like they were having a blast.
Once upon a time my cousin gave me a shirt “Rehab is for quitters” Unfortunately, he gave me that shirt while my sister was home from rehab.
Only users lose drugs. On a related note. I have a bunch of Pharmacist friends that went to PCPS (now USP). The motto for their graduating class? “Drugs are my LIFE!” If you knew the guy who suggested it you would get how funny it is.
Rehab? Zardoz, please… That’s for quitters and quitters never get twitters! Truth to tell, the finest pussy that Festus ever encountered was whilst occupied in a rehab/psych facility. The poon was outrageous! (And I’m just talking about the nursing staff)!
I don’t mean to make light but unless you are chemically imbalanced and need a safe port in the storm while you grow accustomed to the meds, these “talking cure” places are not where you want to be.
I really don’t know why, but this song is stuck in my head. It happened like 3 days ago in some sort of subconscious event. It just kept popping up in my head at random times the last few days. I haven’t heard it for years. Russians maybe?
Goodbye
Sorry about the Soviet area video. I still cannot clear this from my head. But it’s only the part that starts at 3:10. Gillis always seemed to me to be a read dick, but he is one hell of a guitarist, this is not the best example.
You’re a monster. Why would you voluntarily listen to that. And then, subject us to it?
“You’re a monster.”
Oh, sorry, I didn’t see that. Thanks!
Take some drugs. Anything. If I had that song stuck in my head, I’d pour drano in my ears.
gah. Pit-party triggered. I’ll be on my lawn, shouting at some dandelions.
You guys… lol
As usual, the law only applies to the little people, while the Hollywood bigshots go to rehab.
“Buckle up!, Buckaroo!”
Rehab. No no no. From a guy that needs it.

So I was in the HIP you know like mostest coolest part of Balmer this afternoon when I decided to stop at the mostest coolest hippest liquor store in the entire city. They have a very small parking lot as you would expect from the mostest coolest liquor store in the city. And so while I’m trying to get a spot, I see in my peripheral vision some fembots walking slightly behind and approaching my peripheral vision on the right. I see dresses. I could not see above their waist at this point. And I says to myself, a couple of Amish girls. LOL, yeah sure this is bMore. And then they walked on by. The Amish have invaded Baltimore. Combined with the Jews, NOTHING CAN STOP THEM!
The Amish are insidious and THEY are everywhere. Rumspringa (SP?) is just so they can scout in secret! It is known!
I mean seriously, mankind has been seeking the ultimate weapon for eons. And what does it turn out to be? Dresses and bonnets. Especially bonnets. Bonnets, and titties.
If you are ever in Philly go to Reading Terminal Market. There is a diner there run by the Amish. They must bring the best looking girls to work there. it’s crazy how hot they are. And their dressed like fucking Amish girls.
One of my neighbors at one of the homes I own, they’re not Amish, but Mennonites, but they dress sort of similar. And there are a lot of Amish, north and east of there. Lots of pretty women for sure. I was really shocked to see 2 Amish girls in Baltimore today, first time. And yeah I’m sure they were I lived around them for 2 decades.
Yeah, if you been around them a bit it is easy to peg the Amish. The milk-maid skin, the tits, the hips…i’ll be in my bunk.
“The milk-maid skin, the tits, the hips”
Absolutely, yummy.
I have to ask, What is wrong with me when some of the HOTTEST girls I have ever seen are covered neck to ankle? And wearing frickin’ bonnets? BONNETS?
You’re Amish?
If only. Just been around a lot of them. When I was a Boy Scout our troop leader had a good relationship with an old Amish guy in Lancaster county. We would go there to camp and hunt/shoot/fish. Saw a lot of Amish girls. We were forbidden to talk to them on pain of death by the Scout Master.
Forbidden fruit is the tastiest
Mennonites run the Willamette Valley from basically a little north of Eugene to a little south of Portland. Just Mennonites everywhere, everywhere you turn.
When I lived in the Philly suburbs there was an Amish Farmer’s Market near where I lived. Same thing.
Miss it so.
And the food is unreal. Those ladies can cook like nobodies business.
There’s an Amish-looking vendor at the farmer’s market near where I work in Jersey City. Two dudes and ugly as sin.
Probably Mennonites. Shiftless Mennonites.
Maybe “Amish” is just an excuse to pull guard on the finest pussy.
You know who else invaded places?
Kudzu?
Admiral Frank Fletcher?
Jesse?
*FOUL*
Captain Kirk?
This is highly irregular.
Crickets. Little sneaky bastards are in my shop. They woke me up yesterday.
I hate it when they start singing.
Jackson?
Not Switzerland?
Is Amish/Mennonite the new ironic form of dress for the ladies?
Next time I’m in Williamsburg I’ll report back. Oh wait a minute, I am never in Williamsburg.
No barcade visits?
Where are you in Brooklyn?
If your looking for hard to find wine or spirits head to Smith and Vine
317 Smith Street
Say hi to Anthony for me.
Bay Ridge & noted. The liquor stores around here are shit.
It’s right off the F train
Yes, I’ve nightlifed in that area quite a few times.
I drank wine I thought I would not like and loved it. Keep an open mind as in all things.
You know all the lyrics from Bluegrass/Mountain music? Dragged from life… Those chicks were waiting for you to sweep them off their feet (granny dresses and all). I’m sure that you, Hyperion must have some sort of cellar-shrine?
My favorite news story about the Amish. If you want to get a speeding ticket in your buggy, you need the right fuel for your horses.
Wasn’t the Amish kid in Witness headed for Baltimore to see relatives?
ZARDOZ DOES NOT UNDERSTAND JAPANESE BRUTALS…
Holy sweet bajebus. The melons in the last pic are bigger than little dudes head.
That’s why we just burned them alive.
As a sacrifice to the melons?
Steeples fingers, ‘yessss!” Takes a look at the photo, “Someone rein in that Lemay guy, I’ve a better idea.”
Japanese titties get a bum rap. The top line ones certainly compete globally.
So few and far between and you always ask ( internally) are they the real deal? Put Elaine on the ase!
Fuck the lack of editorial function on this site! Fuck it with STEVE SMITHS barbed multi-penis.
Those aren’t barbs, they’re penises growing out of his penis. However those do have barbs.
It’s occasionally-barbed penises all the way down.
There is Bob. Re; 1000 yd rifle.
I will start with in-flight ballistics.
Have you ever spun a top? Spin one and pay close attention to what it does. It starts out wobbly then it stabilizes then as it slows down it destabilizes. The terminal destabilization is faster and more eccentric. In that initial destabilized period watch the point of the top as it moves around on the surface. It make a very distinct curly pattern. If you could spin the top exactly the same each time it would make the same pattern tracing over the same line.
What you just saw was the flight of a bullet but you travelled along with it so you didn’t see its forward motion, only its rotational motion.
When the bullet leaves the barrel it is traveling forward destabilized. Depending on its speed it may travel up to 200 to 250 yards destabilized. This is also governed by the ballistic coefficient of the bullet. The longer the bullet is in relation to its diameter the faster it has to spin and the longer it takes to stabilize. Short fat bullets can stabilize very quickly, long skinny ones, not so much.
Complicating that are two other factors: It is destabilized so the base is not perfectly perpendicular to the bore out of which comes a blast of gas that strikes the bullet on the base like hammer because it accelerates after it leaves the bore. The bullet also has to break the sound barrier delivering a shock to the nose of the destabilized bullet, a nose which is not perfectly parallel to the path of the bullet.
Oh! So fractals… (starts tying rope into ready-made noose).
After stabilizing and breaking the sound barrier the bullet can more easily buck the other factors of wind, humidity and air density variations. However, as the bullet reaches the end of its flight it gets battered again. As it slows down it is approached, this time from the rear, by the sound barrier. When the sound barrier catches up to it and passes it there is a hell of a whack on its base. If the bullet has slowed its rotation enough to destabilize at this point (remember the terminal destabilization is more eccentric) it will strike the base while it is even more out of kilter than the nose was the initial time. If this happens the bullet will fly wild. I had a 22 hornet that would shoot the wings off of a fly out to 250 yards with 52 gr bullets but at 255 yards it would hit completely unpredictably inside a 20 yard radius. I finally figured out what was happening. The long (too long for 22 hornet) bullets I was loading were destabilizing before the bullet slowed down under 1000fps and it was like a goalie knocking the bullet aside. I fixed it by loading 40 grain bullets.
That is kind of the tip of the iceberg, as you well know.
Putting a silencer on the gun is going to greatly effect the initial ballistics in the way the gas effects the bullet. The gasses do not usually exit the silencer the same way each time the way they do a naked muzzle. The silencer has dampening material inside it that moves with each shot.
Aslso the bullet certainly has to be leaving the muzzle faster than the speed of sound to reach your 1000 yd target with any kind f accuracy in which case it will make a sonic boom – completely defeating the purpose of the silencer. Silencers are for short range. The 300 blackout is designed for use at short range with rifles shooting below the speed of sound.
Ok, that is my 2c. My drunk ass is going to bed.
Ahem. Uh. Do you mean… suppressor?
*runs away*
Glad to know I’m not the only one.
Not a great self defense in a city weapon but bhe other solution to that problem is to shoot a traditional style round ball muzzleloader. My .54 caliber is my favorite hunting weapon and I have taken many deer, some elk, three antelope and a lone moose with it. At the barrel the ball (usually a.535) is moving along at around 770-775 fps but weighs in at 230 grains. If you punch through the ribs you get a nice wound channel but I have had a buck just twitch his skin and stand there looking at the smoke until he fell over dead. If you hit bone you do incredible damage and transfer a bunch of energy. I had a great (if I say so myself) quartering shot on an elk where I hit both lungs, the heart and into the inside of the far side shoulder blade. The elk stumbled to the ground, got to her feet slowly and died before it could really get good footing again. No exit wound but when I got to the bone it was shattered and the ball had deformed to the size of a half dollar.
There were many reasons why there were so many amputations of limbs during the civil war. One reason less thought about today, but historical accounts make mention, is what happens to a femur when hit with a big solid lead round. The area that is struck turns to bone meal so there is nothing to try to surgically piece back together. (Think of what a 7mm or .30-06 does to a major bone and compare that to bone meal.) Add to the pressure of wounded pouring in and the knowledge the more time you spend poking around the increase risk of infection. Grab the saw and get this one done. End history lesson.
Dead thread but that did happen. There are civil war (and shortly after) pictures on the web of people with one limb dramatically shorter than the other due to damage from a civil war bullet.
Umm, what?
I promise you, there’s nothing moving inside my rifle silencer. And I’ve shot a few sub-0.3″ groups with it. Silencers generally increase the accuracy of rifles they’re installed on.
And if ‘silencer’ is good enough for Hiram Maxim, then it’s good enough for me.
Fucked up story about a chicken shit old fat man i may just beat the shit out of. Guy at work, approaching 70, whose a good guy. Chicken shit guy, who used to like old guy and pal around with him and another even older guy. Even older guy retired. Old guy and chicken shit make a video of old guy pretending to drink vodka and trip around job with dangerous tools, with intention to send to retired even older guy. This was probably two years ago.
Chicken shit gets mad at old guy and decides to get him fired, so sends video of old guy acting drunk to higher ups, declaring old guy was drunk and chicken shit had to rescue him. Old guy in serious danger of losing job.
I informed higher ups that old guy hasn’t drank in years, and never drank vodka. Also told them, that if they fired old guy, I would quit, beat the holy shit out of chicken shit, then when i got out of jail, would beat the shit out of him again.
Decision has been tabled until next week.
What kind of asshole, even when they get pissed at someone, says “I’m going to ruin his life now”?
I don’t get people.
A sociopath, that’s who.
Liberals, SJW’s, snowflakes, MSNBC personalities, woke black bodies, people who enjoy the Broadway show Hamilton, mattress girl… really, it’s a lot of people.
*Donald Trump voice* Sad. Really sad. So many losers. Sad losers.
I just noticed my generic avatar looks like some sort of beetle. How do I get one like Bob? It’s like he’s always flipping us all the bird. Lucky sumbitch.
it does!
It’s the most libertarian randomly-generated thing ever! I’ve been jealous for at least a few hours by now.
Bob does have the best I-don’t-give-a-shit avatar. Reminds me of the Mooninites
Put ’em on the glass!
A politician.
Jim Lahey? You, you’re Randy? I’m aghast!
that’s messed up.
Fuck Chicken Shit old guy. Arrange and “industrial accident” for that fuck,
I seriously considered murder. This guy has passed me off before, for equally chicken shit dick moves. But I’m too pretty for prison. Jail i can handle.
Smear peanut butter on his break lines. The squirrels will go nuts for it.
“Shunning” works quite well (getting back to the Amish flavour of the thread). Everyone just stops talking to him and in two weeks time he’s taken a pay-out. Works a charm!
Naw, I seriously think this guy meets the definition of pyscopath, including the ability to charm others. He can be quite charming, and is generally liked. And he has video proving his version. Nope, some assholes only understands one language.
Sociopaths are fascinating but dangerous people. I’ve been suckered by one or two over the years.
Very dangerous. Is “sociopath” the preferred terminology nowadays?
psychopath is a generic term for any form of unstable, usually explosively unstable, personality
Sociopath is a specific and detectable personality defect. It’s kinda like how you can pick out Downs Syndrome from a mile away. Sociopaths are overly charming, but quite manipulative and without any semblance of a conscience.
Yeah, that’s this guy. He’s a charming, manipulative, vindictive asshole with no conscience. He left his wife (of 40 yrs maybe?), and on his way out, told his gay son that he hoped the son would die from AIDS.
According to this article, I may have it flipped. Psychopaths, as described in the article, are what I usually call a sociopath, and vice versa.
Yeah, Ima say, no one will miss this guy and he’s got it comin.
My immediate family comes to mind. I’ve pulled up stakes and gone working for them not once, not twice but thrice! It always ends in Festus driving away in a cloud of dust and carbon, fuck-finger gleefully held out the driver’s side window. It’s a shame that they robbed me of my best earning years and there will be no Scottsdale for this monkey.
Meh, Scottsdale is too close to asshole sheriff guy.
Poor old people can retire to Truth or Consequences, NM. A nice little town in the desert, once named “Hot Springs”, but since there are many many towns named “Hot Springs”, was renamed in the sixties (?) after a popular TV show, for tourist/retirement promotion; town had a vote, that’s what they decided. The host of said show was… IDK, some old white guy. But the park is named after him, and while he was alive he would come out every something or other for the parade.
Only place I’ve ever seen people use corrugated sheet metal for retaining walls.
Great quail hunting. Great big game, too, but it all tastes like sage because that’s what grows in the desert and that’s what they eat. Cheap as all hell to live there, though.
Oh, guy’s name was Ralph Edwards.
The threading is horrible. Worse than no edit button. I’m so glad i contributed to the other place instead.
I’m joking, of course.
But, yes, Oscar, it appears that i lucked into the correct term: pyscopath.
Also, the guy is armed and claims mob connections. Actually have a picture from before i started with this guy and some infamous Boston gangster who got busted on the wall at work.
Meh. Anybody can ask a celebrity to pose for picture, and the gun I’ve seen is a 25. So, yeah, I’ll kick his ass. But no murder.
You could also contact even older guy to see if he has the tape. Have him give his story to the higher ups, get chicken shit, shit-canned. Sweet, sweet karma.
Yeah, even older guy is dead. Moved back to England, and was out riding his bicycle (at age 80!) and was ran over by punks in high speed chase with police.
That sucks. And because it’s UK the little shits probably got hardly any jail. Back to the “industrial accident” peanut butter methods.
Yeah, even if chicken shit dies mysteriously, it’s kinda too late, from the opinion of higher ups. “It’s out there, and the liability issues if old guy has mishap”, blah blah blah.
I know I’m seriously angry because I’m calm. I’m a hothead, but I’m ice right now. Not yelling or cussing, etc. I’m not sure I’ve ever been in this state before. Usually my anger is hot but passing. This is cold and analytical weighing of (illegal) options.
Yeah, that’s how I am. When I am angry but calm, run for your fucking life. If I am animated and “raging”, it’s just blowing off steam. My ex-wife told the shit stain she was cheating on me with, “if he smiles at you run, don’t talk, don’t get near him, run”,
Why are there no good insults for white people. Cracker, whitey?
Spic, nigger, kike, and gook are all far more powerful and unusable. You can say cracker in front of your mom at church.
There has to be a reason.
Talk to an African or an Indian (sub-continent). They have racial slurs for white people. I am pretty sure ALL of the Asian countries do too.
Right but they don’t matter. Say nigger to a black guy and the guy and the world will lose their shit. Even if you click pop some African language insult to a white person nobody cares. Maybe white people are just better at insults but I don’t think that’s the reason. There’s no equivalent racial insults.
Maybe white people just don’t care as much.
Maybe nobody cares but white people don’t pretend to care as much.
I don’t know, but it’s definitively weird.
Think of it like this. Imagine a politician using NG the word kike, spic, nigger, gook or cracker. Which word loses them their job. I’m not sure cracker even makes the news. And that’s the worst I can think of.
Maybe, just maybe it’s because white people think of themselves as cool and just don’t give a fuck what the lesser races think? White people have been on top, empire wise, more than any other race in history. Also technology etc. We are the fucking greatest and the rest of them know it and are just jealous.
It’s like trying to pretend that Thicc is a thing. I had my first orgasm in 1977 and I sure as hell wasn’t thinking about Michelle Obama when it happened. Stop. Just stop.
I’m cool with girls being more ample than your average runway model, but these siliconed, stuffed, ginormous asses are not attractive to me. There’s a nice happy medium where it doesn’t look like you’re trying to smuggle bean bag chairs in your pants and it also doesn’t look like your last meal was a frond of celery and half a carrot.
What kind of pervert associates glorious thiccness with a Wookie? Jesus.
It’s because you can’t be racist against white people. Duh.
You can say cracker in front of your mom at church.
That’s not what I said to your mom, and it wasn’t at church if you know what I mean. *wink*
Sure was a whole lotta praising the Lord though.
Because white people have never done anything bad, and everyone loves them.
I demand insult equality.
White privilege.
They ( Painted, feathered Indians) used to call me “Nay-Doh” which probably translates into “Shit That Bear Leaves On The Trail When You’re Just Going About You Own Fucking Business And Trying Tend To Your Trap-line”. It was derogatory, to be sure.
Fun fact: “cracker” originates from Florida, when Florida was the wild west, and “crackers” were cowboys.
I thought “cracker” originated in Scotland. I think Sowell mentioned that in “Black Rednecks and White Liberals”.
Hmm, I’ma Google.
“But it turns out cracker’s roots go back even further than the 17th century. All the way back to the age of Shakespeare, at least.
“The meaning of the word has changed a lot over the last four centuries,” said Dana Ste. Claire, a Florida historian and anthropologist who studies, er, crackers. (He literally wrote the book on them.)
Ste. Claire pointed me to King John, published sometime in the 1590s. One character refers to another as a craker — a common insult for an obnoxious bloviator.
What craker is this same that deafs our ears with this abundance of superfluous breath?
“It’s a beautiful quote, but it was a character trait that was used to describe a group of Celtic immigrants — Scots-Irish people who came to the Americas who were running from political circumstances in the old world,” Ste. Claire said. Those Scots-Irish folks started settling the Carolinas, and later moved deeper South and into Florida and Georgia.”
http://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/07/01/197644761/word-watch-on-crackers
Yes, and that’s where black people picked up the word – while simultaneously absorbing much of “cracker culture” themselves, at least according to Sowell whom I have some confidence in.
Yeah no, I was sharing my Google search. Sowell was almost always right (but not always). I was too recent in my history of the world, Sowell, in your citation of him, goes older, but the scholars say it goes back even further.
So, we’re both right, and we’re both wrong, but I’m more educated than i was yesterday. 😉
White devil.. white devil.
Starts singing “let’s go fly a kike, up to the highest hights…”
Come on people, that’s gold. Gold, i tell ya.
Ok, i’ll share the secret since no one else will.
Its because there is no definable thing called “Whiteness” which any white person actually gives a flying fuck about.
Because white people mostly don’t identify as a collective that has any shared characteristics. Most tend to cling to some vague notion that they have some indebtedness to some different degree of Euro/Scandi/British-ish heritage, and that shit is far more significant than the mere fact that they happen to share skin-tone. Never mind that someone might be 5+ generations removed from any actual Irish ancestry – their colleagues will still refer to them as a “mick” simply because of their last name.
and white people can make fun of things considered “that are laughably white” because no one has any sense of it being essential to who they themselves are… its just how some folks DO behave. So you can have depictions of white people acting stupid or silly and it isn’t seen as “reflecting poorly” on everyone else.
basically i think the entire idea of racism requires the race being derided to have a bruised ego to begin with. If you’re not touchy about it, you can’t really hurt anyone with racially-based insults. so why bother inventing them?
I think we have a winner. I hate that Irish/Italian/German hyphenated American shit too. If you aren’t American first, get the fuck out of my country. I don’t care where your ancestors came from. They left that fucking shit-hole for a reason.
+10000
I still remember seeing the Dropkick Murphys during their American Pride tour (which took place the month after 9/11). At one point during the show, they asked how many people in the crowd were Irish, most of the crowd cheering and yelling. The lead singer then says, “Fuck off! You’re not, Irish, you’re not Irish-Americans, you’re fucking Americans, be proud of that!”
I may dislike their pro-union songs, but that will always stick with me.
Dropkick Murphies rule.
Do you like The Fratellis?
Be that as it may, in American English, ethnic terms don’t mean you’re
from the place, they mean that at some point you were told that at least
one of your ancestors came from there. There is a term for the other
situation, which is “Xish from Xland” or similar.
As a specific example, in American English, being “Irish” means you have
some Irish ancestry, actually being from Ireland is, in American English
“Irish from Ireland”.
Yeah, i get where you’re coming from, and i mostly agree.
but its a little different when you grow up in places where there was a long history of immigration, and many cloistered ethnic communities where those people ended up staying and building communities…
3-4 generations later, many of the people in those communities might be half-intermarried and the actual degree of original-ethnic-identity be significantly diluted, to where most people are only 1/3 to 1/2 anything at all, if that… but the fact is that having grown up in that same place, they’ve mostly grown up with behaviors and slang and traditions which do have some cultural connection to the OG immigrants. e.g. people may only be a fraction “Italian” but if you grew up in Sheepshead Bay, you’re going to identify as italian-by-culture.
basically – at least in NYC – i think sometimes when people call themselves “X-American”, its not so much a pretension about one’s genetic make-up as much as it is the way people identify with the places + people they grew up with.
that said, i still think its pretty stupid in general, and its not something you see very much anymore. I felt like it was more of a thing when there was actually some genuine discrimination between ‘native’ (e.g. Wasp) Americans, and more-recent-immigrant communities.
Exactly, a lot of that is driven by ethnic communities that maintain their cultural heritage. I’ve had multiple parts of my ‘ethnicity’ (French Canadian, Metis, Dutch) completely obliterated because my grandparents or great-grandparents integrated into pre-existing communities rather than maintain their own.
Too much effort. “European mutt, possibly a little Iroquois way back there to make it interesting”
It doesn’t help that my biological father was adopted and apparently (thanks 23andMe) half Norwegian, but I didn’t find that out until a year ago. Still have no idea what a quarter of my background is, but I’m part Acadian (what’s worse than French Canadian? Failed French Canadian) and a whole lot Scots-Irish (some of my ancestors failed to keep Macbeth alive and got outlawed or something). Even with all of that we’re culturally “educated working class new englander/western NYer through and through.
Still wearing a kilt tomorrow, fuck it.
Most of my Indian background converted to Christianity and lived in ‘white man’s society’ (Quebec). In the long run my family can actually be traced back to the 1600s and a priest who went native and married into the Huron population. Later we moved west, and I ended up having a childhood where all the Indians I hung out with made fun of whitey. In short, ethnic identity is bullshit, culture matters.
but I’m part Acadian
Nothing wrong with that, the Acadians are Canada’s brief history with anarchism…if only you hadn’t pissed off the British…
I had just considered the Iroquois thing family legend until 23andMe indicated that I had no discernible native genetic traits (or that it was too far back) but had a particular subtype of mtDNA associated primarily with Hutterites, Druze and Mik’maq speaking peoples.
if only you hadn’t pissed off the British
What *didn’t* piss off the British?
They left to get away from Hitler. At least, on Dad’s side.
On Mom’s side, half of them were coming as colonists for the Dutch.
This. Also why we have plenty of demeaning names for all the ‘sub-categories’ of white.
We referred to our best friends growing up as “The Astonishing Polack, Black Brass, Froggy and Jew-Killer. Polish, French Canadien, looked sort of froggish and German. So triggering. We had a buddy that we named “Scrotum Chin” when he grew a beard at 17 years-old. Fuck Off!
*footnote =
IMO the most effective “white” insults tend to be class-based, not racial.
and i think economic-class-based insults (e.g. deriding someone because they’re simply poor) are often less pungent than if they’re *social*-class based (e.g. suggesting that someone is raised poorly, has no manners, is unfit to be among more-civilized people)
i’d guess this dynamic would be roughly the same wherever you have any very-dominant racial-group; e.g. calling someone a ‘chink’ in china would probably have zero effect, but i bet if you called them something that suggested they behaved as tho they were raised by pig farmers, you’d get a rise.
Gilmore nails it. I dont really identify as ‘white’. Whatever insult you apply to ‘white’ people doesnt really apply to me. Insult me personally and I might take a little offense if the insult is true, but I will also self reflect a lot on it. I’ll either work on fixing it or just tell you to fuck off and I will forget about it. There is no collective insult that can bruise me because I dont identify with any collective.
Gweilo and gaijin are pretty dam good.
Gaijin is not racist in and of itself. Xenophobic? Yeah, OK. Doesn’t bother me one iota.
Do they not have a separate term for black people? Can’t remember.
Nothing that is in any sort of usage today. Traditionally the insults and slurs were saved for class. Leather worker, butcher, merchant etc…
I was thinking of ‘hafu’ but that’s more about being a half-caste than black (I was thinking of the insults thrown at that mixed race Japanese Miss Universe contestant).
I’m kind of disappointed they didn’t keep ‘nanban’.
My daughter is ha-fu. Yes, being half white, Western European is better than the other choices in their eyes.
Wait, they still distinguish between Eastern and Western European? Finally, racism that makes sense!
Of course they do. Muh Russians! is not just for WaPo.
Also, gaijin is just shortened form of gaikokujin. Outsider vs foreigner. Both a words you need in a language.
They very respectfully call them “humans of recent African decent”, because the Japanese are the least racist people on Earth.
Hilariously, I’ve discovered that there’s a black samurai.
Come on Hollywood, make a movie where the White Samurai and the Black Samurai team up to, I don’t know, kill Mongolians and save the Emperor.
You forgot the last quotation mark on “Humans”, just sayin’! Giggles and hides behind Staff…
It’s hard for me to really take offense to gwai-lo, though some western expats get extremely butthurt and offended if they’re called “ghost fellow”.
In that regard, gwai-lo is sort of one of these terms, to quote The Way of the Gun: it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
But even if some runt were to use gwai-lo as a pejorative, I couldn’t give a flying fuck and would laugh off the impotence. My short form nickname around my Cantonese circles is plainly ” ghost”.
Kafir? Pretty derogatory…don’t hear it used for non-white non-muslims very often.
Why Zardoz write like STEVE SMITH?
You every notice that you never see them together?
STEVE SMITH NOT INTERESTED IN GIANT FLYING HEAD. GIANT FLYING HEAD HAVE NO BUTTHOLE FOR STEVE SMITH TO RAPE.
STEVE SMITH WATCH ARCHER INTERESTED IN COCK HOLSTER
STEVE SMITH TRY TO TEACH ZARDOZ TO RAPE BUT END UP SMOOSHING HIKERS INTO GROUND INSTEAD. STONE HEAD NOT MAKE GOOD RAPESQUATCH.
You try speaking softly with a mouth that big. Anything more than a whisper and ZARDOZ bursts eardrums.
I did notice that this time around. Typically ZARDOZ speaks proper english. STEVE SMITH speaks fragmented lawyer-speak.
ZARDOZ just has a booming voice.
STEVE SMITH THINK YOU SAW NOTHING, IF YOU KNOW WHAT GOOD FOR YOU, PRETTY ROBERT.
THEY BOTH SPEAK IN CAPS< HMMMM
You daren’t delve too deep, Yusef for that path leads only to madness and ultimate despair! YOG SOTTATH YAH!!!!!
Shut up and play Peace Train already.
*Throws whiskey bottle at stage*
I’m not THAT Yusef FFS, I’m Adama, from Caprica, DON’T other(world)me Man!
god for narrow gaze right now
And fewer caps
Then yous a bitch, the only thing the dirt eaters were ever good for was producing the paragon of military masculinity, Mr. Admiral William “Fuck you Cylons” Adama.
Die Cylon Scum!
/ where do I sign up?
My Son BTW
If Yusef drives a Kia, did you also notice that Yusef lives in Vancouver?
No, I live in Upland Cali, which is a nice little town in a fucked up hell hole of a State,
and fuck Cat Stevens, he screwed with a good obscure moniker,Mine
Proud owner of five ferrets, an iguana and one bad leg.
When my daughters were little Cat Stevens used to bring this maudlin old fart to tears. Fuck this Yusef Islam guy right in his eat-hole.
Correct
Morning has broken like my pursed pie hole…
… and the clenched bum-hole, like the first gay.
As I have said on TSTWNBN My name comes from Caprica, Yusef(joseph) Adama was a lawyer for the Criminal gang from Tauron,
His Son Was William Adama the Captain of the Battlestar Galactica OK?
So, your named after a mob lawyer? Well…that’s OK then.
Great show, great character role
and your an… Enchanter?
Warlock, but enchanter will do.
Monty Python much? Tim? Gret Teeth argg!
Oh, I got it. I just couldn’t come up with anything witty. All I could think was of “some call me” and “Tim” is in my name. I forgot about the Beast and it’s great gnashing teeth.
Verrrry scarrry 🙂
I’m more amazed that anyone remembers the one season of Caprica than anything else.
I was seriously bummed, it was a great effort,then dropped like all the good SCI FI shows
Meh, it started fine but got mildly schizophrenic, I’m told that Moore wanted to appeal to women but didn’t really know how.
I still couldn’t get over how it was blatantly Vancouver they were filming in (same problem with SG-1).
didn’t know that, I guess I should travel more
It’s a hell of a lot more obvious when you’ve been there, and they use the Vancouver skyline with a few holograms and buildings CGIed in to portray their future city.
Cheap shots that fool Americans? who’d of guessed?
That’s pretty mild to the time they blew up Toronto and had a dumb fight in front of the City Hall and pretended no one would notice.
I’ve been reading sci-fi since 1975 and other than “Blade Runner” or “Alien” have yet to see any good adaptations aside from Jenny Agutter in “Logan’s Run”.
I’m reading do Androids dream of electric sheep right now and it’s nothing like the Movie, what do you mean?
That would be P Dicks Book over any movie
I find Blade Runner to be an improvement over its source material. I like Philip K. Dick but he was a hell of a lot more of an ‘idea guy’ than a ‘coherent writer guy’.
I’m more of a “don’t fuck with the story ” guy but I see what you mean for certain
If you can produce something better, artistically speaking, than the original I have no problem.
In reality most changes are made for stupid or nonsensical reasons.
And hot girls all over the place, Polly walker anyone?
“Polly” is a tell! When she’s named that she will either bare her breasts for the camera or put out in a real life situation. I’ve got three Polly’s notched on the headboard of my waterbed.
Well, Rome at least from what I have seen, but damn! semithicc is just fine for me!
oh la la
French?
Nah. Just a kid.
Well, tanks for noticing i’m not a Brownskinned MOOslim! but still a Ferinner,
And that’s enough for me, Cheers All!
Oh, great. More foreigners bitching about the smoke at a coffee shop. This time it’s a bearded 20 something nimrod with a calf tattoo and his fat assed girl friend, hippie hand bag in tow. How about if you don’t like smoking you go to fucking Starbucks? As is bitching to the staff in English is going to help.
I feel like that couple has a youtube channel
God help us.
Oh, it’s too late for you now, MuffinDiver: you need to sacrifice several orphans to Greta Van Susteren before you can make it back to the real world.
was the lady annoying and have dyed hair? the guy would look like a hipster, but act like Jerry in Rick and Morty.
Pics and it DID happen! When they banned smoking in bars in my small burgh at least ten of the popular bars shut down. Couple that with draconian road-side suspensions? Another ten. It’s hard out here for a pimp.
I mean, I could be shooting some 8-ball, smoking away off the streets and having a beer or ten but no. Someone had to get MAAD…
Now they’re at home, putting out cigarettes on the old lady’s forehead. Thanks, Obama.
They deserved it because they were “old” and “ladies”.
( and probably secretive McCain/Palin voters to boot.)
Ok, but there’s still a pool table, right? I mean, your old lady screaming about how you ruined her good looks is amusing and all, but shit, the only reason i missed that four rail split combo was ’cause she sounded like an alley cat being raped by Steve Smith.
Fucking annoying, imposing twats know no borders.
Yep. They fucked the hospitality industry good, hard and deep when they banished the smokers. I’m a reasonable man, I can see why smoking on aeroplanes is sorta frowned upon, I get that. No smoking in bars? Hello liquor store, goodbye neighborhood pub and all and sundry. I wonder if these Min-Wage nazis have ever asked what happens when you ban smoking and having more than two beers at a local watering hole? Twenty pubs out of business in my small city probably equals 300 direct job losses. We have a surfeit of waitresses with ill-advised back tattoos and hungry eyes! What of the children? There are only so many shiny poles to go around…
I’m drunk, full of fish, hushpuppies, fries and slaw. Had a great night.
Your breath must be a delight.
Nope, Staffinrun , you are a delight! Don’t you hate when the comments dry up after 9 :00 Eastern? Grandma’s gotta put her teeth in the solution or some fucking thing. That Lawrence Welk repeat won’t play itself!
