black people in Africa?  :o

no way!  ???
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

it's been going on for decades as quasi-academic "African studies" departments have sprung up around the US on a quest for racial pride

Cool stuff. Thanks!

The comments below the story are nuts!

Hey, who knew Grogheads had fallen that far behind on the maroon index?

They make us look like positively sensitive, caring, sane people. How humiliating.

lol - thats what i meant

after LBs post as well, i feel i have lived under some kind of security blanket - there is an active and huge movement trying to reverse the brain washing of Hollywood and history that the Egyptians were black - and they chipped the noses off their statues so noone could tell?

Why make a statue with a nose, then hack it off? Easier to make a nose-less statue in the first place.

Smells of a conspiracy to me!

it would appear as marrauding armies came over the horizon the most important thing to do was cut the noses off the statues and push them in the sea - tut, no wonder they didnt amount to much

If I didn't know you as well as I do, I'd have to suspect that you made a pun attempt there......
