i just kicked a drunk woman out of my hotel for calling my gay coworker a fag

Did Big Hoos AKA the steendriver ever explain the provenance of that moniker?

-- forksclovetofu, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 05:27

On 2006 ILX I was "hoosteen." On the Sandbox I experimented with dropping "hoosteen" into various rap lyrics viz: "i kick hoosical flows/spit spat steen's that", "hoo got it for steen, vol. 3," etc.

On "9 Milli Bros" from last year's "Fishscale," Cappadonna announces himself as "DIGG-A-LA aka the cab driver." I misheard it as "BIG-A-LA" and BIG HOOS aka the steendriver was born. When I saw it made some people laugh (at and with me, variously), I carried it over to ILX 2.1.

"i kick hoosical flows/spit spat steen's that", "hoo got it for steen, vol. 3," etc.

more examples plz

nabisco you may think it as ridiculous as painting a penis on the moon, but calling someone "n*gger" while beating the crap out of them WILL net you a couple of extra years in jail in some states; if you had kept your mouth shut you would be out sooner. maybe there is a way to interpret this fact that doesn't include the idea of speech itself being illegal?

i really am not doctrinaire about this - i'm conflicted. because i agree with you that the state has an interest in punishing racial intimidation - and intimidation based on sexual orientation, gender, and other things.

"Salt'n'pepa and Hoosy D up in the limosteen."

so i may have missed this but out of curiosity how did the woman know the co-worker was gay anyway? or was it an unlucky guess? if he wasn't gay how much difference would that have made?

"Unlucky guess" is probably about right. In certain respects he conforms to the gross stereotype of the girlish, lisping fey gay man.

HOOS up steen down while you mothafuckers bounce to this

G's up HOOS down while you muthafuckas steen to this?

i might've gone with "muthasteenas"

It's the hard little pistol-packing punk dope smuggler
Lethal when HOOS kill, I go STEEN for the jugular

surmounter, i think clowning hoos, who is a goofy but generally alright dude & good sport overall, is much better than smugly conspiring with him to decide what ppl you're so much fucking better at life than

why 'clowning' as opposed to 'trolling' btw?

and what, for a guy who hates self-righteousness, you're awfully self-righteous about it.

hoo-d-HOOS slapped yo boy in the steen with Isotoners?

lol @ hoody-HOOS

Hoody HOOS! That's the STEEN for them killas

It's like the difference between giving the nerd a swirly, then helping him get back on his feet ('just fuckin with you, man') vs. giving him a swirly and leaving him to drown ('die geek scum').

xpost to whoever asked about clowning vs. trolling

BIG HOOS aka the swirlyvictim

I hope more hoosteen threads get started because this thread has a decent story about putting up with intolerable shit at work combined with some well natured clowning.

It also has a little too much capt save-a-hoos when the poor guy is obviously capable of taking care of himself. Read the story people, he's putting bitches out on the street!

holy christ xxpost

To all Capt-Save-A-Me's

Thanks for the support, but don't let the clownin at my expense rile you up. I grin at the jokes, brush my shoulders off, & move on with my day.

deej i also once went with 'gonna give it to ya hoos with no steenia"

ban surmounter

really surprised my post up there turned out to be so controversial (and "eppy", whoever you are, suck a dick. dumbass? seriously? based on that post? what the fuck). it was really a reaction to Tracer, who seemed to be saying:

a) hate crime laws have the net effect of putting more minority defendants in jail for long. (this is completely believable)

b) beyond that, hate crime laws are unnecessary bcz judges & juries already have all the tools they need -- including intelligence & insight -- to determine whether an assault or vandalism or harrassment or murder has that extra tasty frisson of racism or homophobia, and punish it accordingly.

and i have a problem with statement b! i mean, i don't want to pedantically list off jim crow and twinkie defense and all that, but i'm not so sanguine about the legal system's ability or willingness to find and punish those things, without an "intervention" by legislature saying, yes, these motives are worse, you must consider them.

again u fail to make sense. making fun of HOOS is NOT better than bitching someone out who uses the word "faggot" lightly. i do consider myself to be so much fucking better at life than someone who shouts faggot in public. and i wasn't conspiring with him. try thinking out your crappy comments, it might help.

hey, that's dani woodward!
