True.

Yeah you're more likely to hear about famous rappers in regards to sexual abuse (Tupac), gun charges (Eminem, Nate Dogg), assault (Eminem, Suge Knight), stabbing (Jay Z), illegal firearms possession (Puff Daddy, DMX), murder (Snoop Dogg - found guilty through self defence), possession of a dangerous weapon (Snoop Dogg), felony charges of peddling heroin and crack (50 Cent), illegal drugs possession (Lil Kim, Irv Gotti, Nate Dogg, Lil Wayne, DMX), making terrorist threats (Ol Dirty Bastard), 21 counts of child pornography (R Kelly), reckless driving without a license (DMX), dog fighting (DMX) and assaulting an officer (T.I).

It's a weird parallel, aiiiiiight

They're generally pretty good - can get messy sometimes, but if you're dealing with the right person they rock.

British student gets credit for expletive on exam

LONDON - A British high school student received credit for writing nothing but a two-word obscenity on an exam paper because the phrase expressed meaning and was spelled correctly.

The Times newspaper on Monday quoted examiner Peter Buckroyd as saying he gave the student — who wrote an expletive starting with f, followed by the word "off" — two points out of a possible 27 for the English paper.

"It would be wicked to give it zero because it does show some very basic skills we are looking for, like conveying some meaning and some spelling," Buckroyd was quoted as saying.

"It's better than someone that doesn't write anything at all."

Buckroyd said the student would have received a higher mark if the phrase had been punctuated.

Doh. Notice the punctuation?

Justin Gimelstob, tennis mixed double champion, declared war on quite a few women tennis players.

Here are some gems:

Playing mixed double against Anna Kournikova:

I’m going to serve it right at the body, about 128 [mph], right into her midriff. If she’s not crying by the time she comes off court then I did not do my job.

So he hates her?

Quote:

Hate is a very strong word. I just despise her to the maximum level just below hate.

No not really. Considering on average most famous rappers come from the poorest areas in America. That kinda makes perfect sense. However, it would also make perfect sense, if they fucked up their lives once they were famous. But they don't seem to do it as often as a lot of rockers. That's a weird parallel, aight.

StN · 2nd July 2008, 12:13

I'm gonna make a huge generalisation here and fully expect the flame throwers out and primed.
I'd say the reason most rappers get in shit when they're famous is due to the nature of the music. "Keepin' it real and "street" yo' "
The more "gansta", the more street cred as it were.
Rockers sing about being pussies.

So this morning I glanced at the side of my jar of instant coffee and it said

"Ingredients: Coffee beans"

I didn't think anything like this existed any more!

Or, are they just lying and conveniently leaving out all the chemicals?

caffiend · 2nd July 2008, 17:59

Most instant coffee is effectively just regularly brewed coffee that's been ultra-dehydrated - leaving powder/crystals of coffee residue - which you reconstitute when you add hot water. I'm not sure about the rules behind whether they have to report chemicals used in the process; if they're <trace then probably not; so the claim is likely to be correct.

Or it could possibly be that the rock genre has been around for a WHOLE LOT longer than Rap.

Seeing as how his name was pulled out as an example, Sean Coombes meet Paul McCartney, why don't you boys compare bank accounts.

Hazmat: What a load. Most rappers that get into shit do so for the same reason most rockers do, they're fucking idiots. Stupidity knows no boundaries, isn't racist and is also deaf, it don't care what music you like.

Watching "Boy Meets Girl - Waiting For a Star to Fall" on youtube then checked out this comment

"Great song, I remember this was played on the radio a lot when I was going out with my first love back in the 80's. The words of this song totally described the emotions that I felt for her at the time. In hindsight I relise that she was nothing but a slutty cheating runaround with an innocent face and I a rather enormous sucker for her bullshit. I still like the song though."

haha.

Yeah its the Jesus is a C*nt one, but funny enough it was banned for the image not the wording.
Incidentally that T-Shirt has been available in England for years now, and we're only just getting it? or maybe its only just been found out about.

Why on earth are there PW-37 and PW-37.1 sign.

Ones a warning sign for stock wandering
the second is a warning sign for... stock wandering

Only differance is, ones for cattle, the other for sheep! I would think one would do for both!

Funniest of all is the W15-11 sign...

'Policy: A W15-11 sign conssts of a FALLING CYCLIST ON RAILWAY TRACKS symbol displayed on a standard PW diamond sign plate.'

Didn't think it was that big an issue that we needed signs for it 'watch out cyclists, you gonna get your wheel stuck in a train track and ass off!'

Not to mention, the picture is funny >_<

Ahhhh traffic signs, how you make me giggle.
