Have you heard this Mississippi "Buck Rap"....."gangsta walk"

you know I hate rap but I heard it on XM by chance the other day.....decent guitar riff...very vulgar

seems Mississippi pure breds from the Delta wish to prove they are the meanest somebeaches in the african american rap world

interesting to look at....sorta like an old blackxploitation film

I learned not to pick Willis McGahee in the first round of a fantasy football draft (In defense, I did have the last pick of first round).

In the last seven years I have learned there are no limits on mans capacity for self delusion.

I've learned that the values of my grandparents were the right values. I've learned that you don't throw out ideas, people or possessions just because they are old, they're sure to bring you happiness if you'll just pay attention and they are probably better built. I've learned that in the world we live in it is vitally necessary to be street smart as well as book smart. I've learned that children learn from only ONE example, so you better be sure it's a good one. I've learned that I'm not so odd after all, there are a lot of people at a place called Free Republic that have many of my same values and concerns. I've learned that I was right all those years when I was suspicious of the MSM because all their stories and comments were exactly the same.

Four years ago, I found out that gasoline comes from oil.

Cut me some slack, nobody ever bothered to tell me that when I was growing up!!!

A friend of mine had a similarly embarrassing revelation around that same time when he realized that Ted Kennedy was the brother of John and Robert Kennedy.

I should have gone to college and if you get into a fight, get hurt, it looks better for your cause.

"I learned that, by the time a man realizes his father was right, he usually has a child who thinks he's wrong."

Yep.

A friend of mine who was a personnel manager used to tell other managers that if they had employees who only had ten percent of what the manager needed, that their job was to get 100% of that 10%.
