ELENATION

Exactly! totally agree... Aunt Jemima ....huh! that most have been funny! nobody seemed offended by my pregnant redneck woman either... so I hope it was ok... I remember one year I dressed up as a nun, but with my butt hanging out....not to worry....it was a plastic/rubbery butt that I attached to the inside of the nun outfit and it popped out....but it looked so real... (I couldn't let my own butt hanging because I have none...being discussed as we speak in another thread..)I don't remember now if there were catholics there... oh well, too late now...

Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bounce::bounce::bounce:

GOod point....:omg:

You have a point, at least now we have a name for it....! By the way, my daughter who says that I have a rectangular butt... her name is Lynn too....just made me think when I saw your name...

LOL!!!!!!!!!:bounce::bounce::bounce: How can I have a shelf when I don't even have a butt, I only have width.... and the saddest part is that I got to that conclusion today, all these years I thought I had a big butt, but I really didn't.... Nope, I would much rather have your butt, because I think it helps to disguise the tummy... people would look at the butt instead of the front... I would rather be the pear shape.... I'm an apple...or a big watermellon....not sure anymore...:omg:

After a brief analysis... when I was slimmer back in the days.... I was sort of flat....but at the time I thought I had a big butt and wanted to lose some, but it was wide, just wide....which is not good, ultimate conclusion...I have a large flat , rectangularish butt...one more reason to be depressed...

I hear you, we were that way since the beginning because we sort of clicked right away though... but I see your Lauren's and your point... Now I'm thinking...maybe I offended somebody by dressing up as a pregnant redneck woman.... oh gee...:faint:

Oh crapola! I think I wet my undies right now....LOL! You are so right, I guess that's my case.... it's wide, but no bubble.... my daughter says that I have a rectangular butt... whatever that is...

would you all stop! I'm picturing all these situations in my mind and I'm at work and can't keep laughing out loud...gee...:bounce:

LOL!!!!!!!! this was too darn funny........... my butt hurts when I'm sitting sometimes and I'm fat.... so I dunno....

Well, I have a friend that is from the south and I'm hispanic , we have been friends for a long time, used to work together and ever since the beginning of our friendship, I guess I could say we clicked and we used to joke with each other about our backgrounds, she would try to talk with a cuban accent and I would try to talk with a southern accent and we both made fun of each other, laughed at each other all the time, I clearly remember on Halloween one year... she dressed as a cuban rafter which was darn funny, she wore sort of a hawaiian outfit with a live safer around her waiste and a plastic fish biting her butt....she put tons of tanning lotion all over.....it was too funny and I was a pregnant redneck woman... but I don't know if she fully understood the nuances of my culture, frankly I really didn't care.. I'd like to think I did understand hers because I have lived here for a long while to have learned some of the culture by then... but to me, it really didn't matter, up to this day we still make fun of each other's background ....

Agreed, let them all be there, holidays, Christmas, just don't try to take away any of them....

I have to agree that the "being offended" goes too far sometimes and it needs some lighten up... if it was meant as a joke, in my opinion it's just that, a joke.... I personally don't take it seriously.... I would like to think that I know when someone is seriously attacking me or when they are just joking... and to me a joke could be about pretty much anything..... I love the Catholic, hispanic, black, rednecks.....No offense to anybody please!! all kinds of jokes, really! I don't take offense with jokes at all....

:whoo:testing...

:bounce:No, It really helped!

Got it!:clap2::clap2::clap2:

IT WORKED!!!!!!!:bounce::clap2: Thanks a lot!

I'm trying this again....just testing...sorry to bug you...:omg::cry:whoo: I'll see if it worked now...

Thank you much, I'm learning more to use all the features, needless to say my computer skills aren't great... Right now I'm experimenting...

Well, I think I was using the quick reply the whole time... I tried and did what you told me and instead and hit "quote" and I saw the little smiley guys like you said, now, when I do that to reply, I see all the quotes there, how do I choose the one I want and where do I write my response? Oh gee.... I'm so sorry.....

How do I add the little smily faces to my posts? I can't find where they are when I'm posting...sorry, off topic, but it's getting on my nerve...

Green, you probably know by now that I don't see eye to eye on the left wing thing with you... sorry.... but that's ok... I do agree with the way you explained your feelings about this thread, I think it was very well said.

OK, I can't help to find most Derrick's posts funny and sarcastic in a good humorous way..and I also think he is a good guy, even though I've known him here for not so long..., but I have that feeling that he IS a good guy.....I do think the way he puts things is hilarious, and I have to agree with Phyllis on what she said: "But isn't that what a lot of humor is all about. Stereotypes in the extremes are the main fodder for all of the late night comics. " But I can understand all with a different opinion.

Agreed, it's very complex.... My respect to your son, those are the true heroes!

I understand and I apologize myself, I also get carried away....but the bottom line is that we both want what's best for the Iraqi people, that I can see! and that's the most important...my respect to you!
