etymologically, it refers to a figure made of tar, which some sort of folktale figure (Bre'r Rabbit? Anansi? both?) punched and then got stuck to.

But it sure does sound racist.

This isn't the first time Politico's Romano has used racially-coded language on MSNBC. In March, in the heat of the gun control debate, Romano attacked NRA spokesman Wayne LaPierre as a "tired old white guy."

I cannot stand "watermelon." Would love to know what the industrial name for that flavor is.

i think i could probably eat an entire watermelon in one day, perhaps even one sitting... but i'd probably have to tether myself to the bathroom for at least 8 hours afterwards

Watermelon is one of those "is it worth the effort" fruits.

and the answer is almost always "YES, GOD YES"

It's too messy!

I like it when someone has cut it up and taken out the seeds though. Then it's pretty good.

Airwrecka Bliptrap Blapmantis (ENBB), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 17:24 (ten years ago) link

Sometimes the mess is fun but it's sort of an eat it outside only fruit for me because it's just too juicy and gets everywhere. Yes, I am five.

Also, are those Oreos real?

Airwrecka Bliptrap Blapmantis (ENBB), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 17:25 (ten years ago) link

No part of those Oreos have been within a mile of a watermelon or any part of a watermelon, until they reach a grocery store and are shelved within 100 yards of the produce dept.

pro tip: watermelon slices suck, they are messy. here's what you do instead: get one of the seedless kinds, more expensive but totally worth it. cut it in half. using a long knife, make cuts so that you cross section it up, like a tic tac toe board. use a big spoon to scoop out each chunk. you end up with these huge watermelon chunks that you can eat out of a bowl and when you bite into a really juicy one (if the melon's good) it's basically like heaven

乒乓, Wednesday, 19 June 2013 18:12 (ten years ago) link

watermelons are supposed to be messy. just like ribs.

lego maniac cop (latebloomer), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 18:19 (ten years ago) link

Thank you for pro-tip.

I would eat most of those Kits or at least try them. They're not even that compared to the ones in Japan. Have you see some of those?

Yeah, I've heard similar from other people. Still want to try them. Now all I can think about are the cinammon cookie ones though. Damn. Also, purple sweet potato!

see the Paula Deen thread

Also do we need to ask if someone answering the question "have you ever used the word 'nigger'?" with "Yes, of course" is racist? Is that where we are as a society?
