"Stupid wingnut says something stupid" thread

Granddad was a sailor, and dad was kinda one; so even though I suck at sailing, the "jury-rigged" phrase was familiar to me as nautical.  "Nigger-rigged" ain't nothing but straight up racist, though.

Yeah.

And it just occurred to me that several terms like that are for kids' toys and candy. The indoctrination starts early.

Racist toys and candy?  I don't think I have heard about this before, I am curious.

"N- shooters" for rubber shooters, "n- chasers" for those fireworks that go every which way, "n- tits" for Hershey Kisses and "n- babies" for licorice babies.

Texas. 

Wow.  I hadn't heard any of those.

One more reason I am scared of Texas.

Texas isn't scary.  Just full of fucking idiots.  Not everyone's an idiot there, mind you, but if you swing a dead cat around, you're not likely to hit Stephen Hawking.

Idiots with guns, who are allowed to shoot you if you are on their property, or if they are "standing their ground"

You seem to be mistaking them for Arizona and Florida.

Texans mostly swill shit beer in horrible little bars, until they become immobile like Jabba the Hutt.  Texa is about as "wild West" as is Cicero, Illinois.

By the by,



Shockingly.

Edit- Of course it's fucking Australian. It says so on the bastard pack you tit.

i had heard about the fireworks, but not any of the others.
i would think if they were in common use throughout TX, id've heard them at least once.  then again, i've only lived in actual cities in TX.

There is a candy that is some kind of chocolate covered creme lump that people call "n-toes" around here. I remember, way back in the day, seeing them labeled as such in stores.

Twizzler's Nibs.
Note that this name:
- has not been discontinued and is still in active use.
- may seem innocent enough, but imagine what "nibs" is short for.

Holy crap! Mine too, now that you mention that. I had completely forgotten about that. My grandpa wasn't "Racist," though. He allowed this one black guy into his house on occasion.*

How to win friends and influence no-one part 111897/B-

There's never a good time or place to go on an anti-gay tirade, but onstage at a club in San Francisco owned by a gay man, in front of many gay fans, is probably near the bottom of the list.

Michelle Shocked, a singer-songwriter whose sexuality was once fairly ambiguous, stunned fans Sunday night at Yoshi's Jazz Club with a homophobic rant, according to USA Today. The 51-year-old singer reportedly said that if California's Proposition 8, which effectively bans gay marriage, is overturned, "it will be the downfall of civilization, and Jesus will come back."

As her rant went on, fans left the show en masse. Yahoo Music reports that Yoshi's sound operator, a gay man, finally pulled the plug and asked Shocked to leave the stage, though she managed to shout "You can go on Twitter and say, 'Michelle Shocked says God hates f–s!'" to what remained of the confused audience before departing.

Several venues across the country, from Evanston, Ill. to Boulder, Colo., have canceled upcoming performances.

The fact that Shocked was widely believed to be gay makes the whole thing no less, well, shocking. After beating out the Indigo Girls and Tracy Chapman for a 1989 Grammy, Shocked joked that the award should have been for "Best Lesbian Vocalist." And in a 1990 interview with the now-defunct Chicago gay dispatch Outlines, she talked about the fluidity of her sexuality, waxing nostalgic about her first sexual experience with a woman.i

But don't they want Jesus to come back?

I'm confused by Christian eschatology as interpreted by morons.

[Junkenstein]

I think this is how you get Wrathful Jesus instead of Party Jesus.

Everyone loves Party Jesus.

But don't they want Jesus to come back?

Hell, no, they don't.  If Jesus comes back, he might just decide to tell them what he REALLY meant.  I suspect a lot of this particular type, on some level, realize that this might, for them, be a BAD THING.
