So my boss was racially profiled last night....
My boss is an American Indian. Last night, he was walking home and happened, for some unknown reason, to zigzag while walking on the sidewalk to his apartment, and a cop jumped out of the bushes and stopped him from entering, then proceeded to browbeat him for twenty minutes for no ******* reason....I guess his pretense was that his irregular walking pattern made the cop think he might be a drunken burglar.
The weirdest thing about this story is that my boss, a couple years ago, was running down the street to return a video to Blockbuster on time (and he's an athletic guy, too, who enjoys running.)
A cop stopped him and questioned him for over an hour and was prepared to arrest him on suspicion of burglary...or for just having dark skin.
The kicker? It was the same cop, both times.
I am not making this shit up.

16. This is for the assholes at CU:
Yes, honestly, there was cop hiding in the bushes outside my boss's apartment. Cops do this shit. Just cuz you're white and have never experienced it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Yes, I've read my share of somewhat bizarre "encounter with a freeper" stories that I don't always believe, but this actually happened.
Yes, this actually happened.
Do I need to say it again?
Yes, I am a liberal, so everything that I say is in doubt, unlike your leaders who never lie, exaggerate, or just make shit up.
But this story is true.
Yes, you are all dickless ****wads with far too much time on your hands and, in all likelihood, excessive body odor. And you probably have "backne," too.
Yes, you must go **** yourselves now.

19. Yes...they seized on the phrase "And a cop jumped out of the bushes" in my OP as a talisman to ward away credibilty.
I admit, "jumping out of the bushes" sounds a bit melodramatic, but there was a ****ing police officer, hiding in the bushes outside my boss's apartment. I asked him about it again today, because of the ****nobs over at CU raised such a stink about it, and he told me, that, yes, the guy was hiding behind a bush, as if he had been stalking him.
So, to the good folks at CU, whoops, sorry, poor word choice. Ya got me. I should have said, "And.
The.
Cop.
Jumped.
Up From.
BEHIND.
The.
Bushes."
Oh my god, I am SO SORRY!
How much you wanna bet the racial make-up of CU is 100% white as the driven snow, BTW?

26. Yours is not the only story over there.
I see that a poster by the name of Ralph Wiggum is passing around a pm that someone sent him about our recent tombstone.
I guess that you should just feel privileged.

22. No not yet. I'm sure the assbabies over at CU do, though.
Man, what bunch of bent pricks.

23. Well, to toss in a trite platitude
Mockery is a form of flattery. They must think you're hot shit over there on CU. Or they are feeling especially uncreative and unable to generate their own lies and bullshit. Really, it's a compliment.

So where do the terms "bouncy" and "green highlighter" come from??

The highlighter comes from TiT's famous encounter with the guy from Carlyle Group. "Bouncy" comes from DUmmy Bouncy Balls, the godmother of all bouncy liars, and the namesake of the genre. Bouncy Balls made countless classic posts to establish the genre, which are sadly lost in the mists of time. If anyone has an original bouncy, it would be great to see.

WHOA! Fundy boss of Mr. Bouncy agrees with us and disagrees with bush!
What, are pigs flying around???
Mr. Bouncy came home from work and told me his FUNDIE, bush-lovin' boss TOTALLY disagrees on the Schiavo issue. He thinks her tube should remain out and the government should have never gotten involved beyond the courts that have decided it.
He told him he knows some of the churches involved with the protests in Florida (he's a HUGE Baptist) and he's "embarrassed by their behavior." He furthermore said "This is the first thing I have ever disagreed with bush about."
Dear Lord, I nearly fell over.
This guy maxed out on his contributions to bush's campaign AND helped to raise thousands more dollars. He went to DC to see the coronation. He has a FRAMED, autographed picture of Chimpy McCokeSpoon over his desk, for crying out loud.
Wow. Just....wow.

I have to tell you this funny story (it's short!)
Edited on Thu Mar-03-05 08:05 PM by Bouncy Ball
One time, when I was teaching evening school (a punishment for the kids), a female coach came striding in and went right up to the female assistant principal standing next to me.
She had a piece of paper in her hand and said "I found this taped to the gym door."
It read, in a teenager's handwriting: "For free BJs, call xxx-xxx-xxxx" (there was a phone number there).
The coach looked seriously at the assistant principal and said, "WHAT did I TELL you about giving those out for FREE?"
The kids were supposed to be totally silent, doing work. I CHOKED.
The assistant principal had to run out of the room because her laughter was about to explode out of her. The coach just walked right back out, never cracked a smile.
I love working with people like that. They just make things so fun.

My brother in law is in an unarmored Humvee in Iraq
He got there about a month ago and we've been worried sick. He's my husband's brother and they are like best friends. Always have been. My husband is walking around in a daze. He's a veteran, too, but out now.
He emailed to say he is near Mosul and no one has armored vehicles. He is NG, used to be active duty Army, but now NG.
He has a wife, four year old daughter and two year old daughter. He's 40 years old.
My husband told me last night if anything happens to him, he'll never forgive bush and his filthy warmongering lies.
I've never seen my husband like this. I don't know why I posted this, I just needed to talk about this as it's weighing on us heavily. The lack of armor on the vehicle scares me--he apparently rides through some really bad areas all over that part of Iraq and is scheduled to go near Fallujah next week.
:-(

One day my coworker and I decided to communicate only through meows.
As in "meow meow meow meow" all day long, using inflection and pointing to get our message across.
It lasted less than five minutes. Apparently we don't know Catese.
But the good news is, we really annoyed our repukey coworkers. They were ready to throw themselves off a bridge.
Anyone else ever tried that? Did it work?
:rotf: :lmao: :tongue:
So where do the terms "bouncy" and "green highlighter" come from??
Wasn't she a school teacher, too?She says she was but I think it was found out later she was some kind of half ass secretary at a school in Texas.
W.O.W.I always liked the one where he took credit for writing those songs and got called out right on DU by the original artists record company! :lmao:
So that's TiT...what a goof. I'm gonna save the rest for tomorrow, this is some quality reading for sure.

Didn't someone from here contact them with all that information on TiT's chest-beating?Yeah I think so. I know he wanted to kill my mole over there. God he hated my mole! :-) :lmao:

"He was the real deal," Tiburon resident Tom Wright said. "I've known so many people in the entertainment industry. É When they walk off the set they become someone else. Not him."
Wright said the two men routinely commandeered a deck along Ark Row in Tiburon, where they sat and "solved the world's problems every damn day."
"He was never one not to speak his mind," Wright said. "They're not making those guys anymore. That's what you can't replace."

Where'd you find that picture of Kenny Rogers?
Actually she did use to teach 8th grade. A few of us women knew her from a parenting board. Some even know what school she use to teach at and her name. :p
Are DUmmies born idiots, or is it something they work on?
The all-time classic. We couldn't have made this one up....

The entire thread at the link is quite hilarious as well. :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
So this is where that phrase came from here. LMAO. GREAT comedic value.
I'm glad to finally find out where the "cop jumped out of the bushes" came from. :-)
Also, I am disgusted at people who are ashamed they are white - because of something another white dude did (or in this case, a fiction)? Talk about racial profiling.
I prefer the ones where everyone cheers when "so-called" conservative "supposedly" gets "schooled" by a DUmbass. ....like that EVER happens.
Oh yeah, one of the all-time greats that will always stand out as defining DUmmies. Ranks up there with Pitt's "24 Business Hours", RBTexLa's "I Don't Drink With You", and TomInTib's "Green HiLiter" threads. :rofl:
Don't forget ProudDad's: "I'd almost be willing to get a job in order to participate in A NATIONAL GENERAL STRIKE."
Get OUT - did someone really say that!?

Some of the folks that were around before the crash at CU might remember the super powers list. I can't remember if Ralph put it together or if it was Sammy the Squidboy. Or maybe someone else. It listed all of the super powers that the DUmmies have claimed to have. It was a very long list.I believe that was Sammy...Whatever happened to him? He was awesome! :-)

Shortly followed by Chakras. They don't seem to mention these things much anymore. I guess the spiritual libs got chased off be the mentally weak libs.
This, and the adventures of UnderGround Panther, are the things that brought me to CU day after day...I'm glad I finally registered, but I fear I missed the glory days...
TomInTib was another all time favorite...
Thanks for the chuckles
