The Boo threads kept getting pulled and Jim Robinson said it was due to the Wookie crowds showing up.

I'm saying use words in their proper context, and if some ignoramus gets offended, so be it...bring it on. Same goes for the Confederate battle flag, the term "illegal aliens", being critical of hip-hop, etc. If you're right, then dadgummit, stand by what you know is right!

Picking one's battles is a convenient way to never fight for anything. To paraphrase Kevin Costner in "Open Range", there are things that gnaw on a man worse than a bloody nose. Knuckling under to PC thuggery is one of them...at least it is for me.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

What if we changed it to the Creature From The Black Lagoon?

“the first lady has to take her own Boeing 757 with family and kids and hangers-on four hours earlier than her husband, who will be on his 747. NASCAR people understand that’s a little bit of a waste. They understand it’s a little bit of uppity-ism. First ladies have not been known to hop their own 757s four hours ahead of their husband when they’re both going to the same place”

Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.


Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin',
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues,
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby,
There ain't nothin wrong with that.


Well we're movin on up,
