Yo line cooks sell the mf drugs i know this is anecdotal but i've watched my expo run outside and pay a a guy not to tow his car.

Well i hope you enjoy them! Steinbeck can "paint" a scene very well imho, i still remember places he evoked in "winter" to this day, and i can promise those two won't end as badly as "red pony" hahaha (pours one out for red pony)

Actually it's tied between "east of eden" and "winter of our discontent". A quote by the character tom joad at the end of "grapes of wrath" is the basis for this handle though, you nailed it.

No judgin of course art is subjective

it would be so much work to stalk, kill, prep and eat someone's dog or cat. people don't even keep their pets outside much anymore. If people had pigs or some larger, meatier pets kept outside all hours at least it'd be a more realistic lie but like c'mon... who's out there with fuggen ninja cat hunting skills? What are they using to quietly and efficiently kill these pets? Who even got that kinda time?

If this dumb cluck had any sense he'd say they were buying pups from PetSmart or breeding them themselves to eat or something. That lie would at least be in the realm of possibility! Nobody's pets would have to disappear before an idiot believed it!

Fucking loser can't even stoke hate properly

i've been gettin low-key scared at the creeping inclusion of pop spirituality in the country music i hear these days. I'm talking about the fluff-n-stuff pop-country crap playing on yer supermarket 'radio' not disparaging the genre as a whole.

Marrying pop-country-God to the other pop country mad-libs of jeans, trucks, whiskey, and guns feels like a bridge too far to me for some reason. It's pissing me off and in my experience it is increasing in prevalence.

while I actually loved that south park episode and their point that words (that word specifically) change their meaning over time, the "answer" they came up with is a joke of course. A joke that only works because bikers are upset and confused by the 'real' meaning of 'flag'. If the original meaning didn't exist it couldn't be used to hurt the bikers' feelings, it relies on its existing meaning to hurt them.

You cannot forcibly change what words mean. No matter how hard Trey and Matt wish they were iconoclasts and as much as i appreciate them? They REALLY aren't as clever as they think they are. What they did, if they had succeeded would just allow CHUDs to yell 'flag' at homosexuals and pretend they were calling them bikers, so it's a good thing it flopped.

As cool as it would be if "bundle of sticks" stopped being a slur, the slur itself is not the problem, the intent is. Intent behind calling bikers 'flags' is to make them feel like you're calling them homosexuals, relies on homosexuality itself being a slur. The end. No debate. Full stop. It doesn't even change anything, its hurting feelings RELIES on the meaning we currently agree on. Feel me?

this is probably a joke but in these times i have to check. fo' real?
