How’s about BLACK Friday

or BLACK market

Heart of BLACK

This post is SO MUCH cleaner than the original one I wrote and deleted.

They have been nothing but a DARK blight on the north shore of Staten Island.

And when there’s BLACKouts on that side and you drive around, all you see is teeth.

Black gold
In the black

And then there are these negative phrases:

White elephant
Whitewash

In Florida, we get “brown-outs”, although I suspect some dimbulbs will change that.

Personally, I am consigning their suggestions to my own black hole, never to be seen again!

Motto of the British ‘Order of the Garter’ - (French) “Honi soit qui malypense”, translates to “Evil be to him who evil thinks”!

Okay, the damn musician in me won't go away, so here's something made up on the spot.
Sung to Joe Jackson's Cancer:

Everything
Everything is racist
Everything
Everything is racist
No escape, no oasis
Everything is racist
Don't say those words
Not with a smile
The twitterverse
Will kick you miles
Don't say things
Don't think things
Or you will
Be Epsteined
Everything
Everything is racist
(refrain)
