In my experience in O-town, if there are no POC's in a bar, white people will say the most racist shit, to your face, like it's nothing, assuming you agree with them.

That whiteface bit Eddie Murphy did on SNL back in the day is really not far off at all.

That's like a devil number.

Also most "random" lottery ticket generators intentionally give you unlikely number sequences.

I will crunch some numbers later tonight to show that this isn't abnormal.

i had a drunk guy behind me in line at the grocery store giving me some kind of half-whispered inside info about jamaicans and the irish and england just because i was buying a red stripe.

best part is that he looked like a yuppie.

TAN: is there a modern, updated term for a yuppie?

[Eulogy]

I have seen yuccie for young urban creative. I don't remember where but I think I can picture it.

well we are able to input the 11 and 12 and then quick pick the rest, so the odds are much better than that, right? i mean i do it basically every day i work for him. 11/12 is about the highest he goes for fantasy 5, when he plays the other games with high ass numbers he'll go higher. he will give you one to put in after like 2 minutes of trying to get what he wants as a quick pick

uh, probably about 10 seconds

how does "young urban professional" become dated?

definitely. the probability of fulfilling his quick pick request on any given attempt is about 1/3. which is a lot better.

[reprise85]

yeah, i mean he does do like 30 tickets a day so it takes some time, and some times he wants ridiculous things like 20/21. I mean it doesn't take that much time really, but when you have a huge line, 10 minutes is a long time. Most people just want a ticket and are gone in 20 seconds.

holy fuck t-lish. once I saw a gold plated Lamborghini in the kingdom.

THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES!

I was walking to lunch today and some guy stopped me to ask if a photo he had displayed on his phone was a sheep or a cow.

Bizarre.

[Trotskilicious]

i saw some idiot at work weraring an american spirt tee shirt

[duovamp]

Not recent, but last year I saw a man walking along the sidewalk in a residential part of town with some insane birdcage / backpack hybrid that allowed his parrot to gawk out of it. It was so damn weird, like a dream. Anyway he was just out taking his parrot for a walk.

[Trotskilicious]

none of those things cause cancer, are you fucking with me?

ok what about a shirt w/ just GMO in giant letters

(yes, of course i am. do i have to whine again about how i've been here for 16 years and it's frustrating as hell how people never get me. i slug down 10 cans of diet soda every day)

[Trotskilicious]

how about lawnmowers and cast iron

[Trotskilicious]

i bet wifi causes cancer

would you send Rachel Dolezal home because the shit she puts on her skin probably really does cause cancer

[Trotskilicious]

i think id fire her for saying "transracial" seriously

Last night at the Pallbearer show some Pantera fan type dude muttered to me and my mate that we were faggots cause we ordered Whiskey Sours and, ykno, cocktails are totally not metal. Anyway the venue manager was standing right behind him and proceeded to threaten to have the dude ejected and then chewed him out loudly and at length for his choice of words. Good times.

[wHATcOLOR]

Interesting. Good work manager. Wonder if maybe he is D's goth bartender in a new job

What kind of drinks are metal?

[Trotskilicious]

straight liquor from the bottle, cheap ass beer

[Elphenor]
