No, it's more like:

My friend's got a girlfriend
Man he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says "man I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way"

She sits on her ass
He works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well my friend
You gotta say

I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
na-na, Why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
na-na, why don't you get a job?
 
Frogman posted an update on his tumblr. He's not doing well. At all. It's like the universe has singled him out for large amounts of abuse. Sometimes I want to shout at the heavens to "LEAVE FROGMAN ALONE!!" But I'm afraid that the universe will then take a sharp look in my direction and ask, "you want some of this, hmm?" :(

Sigh, alright, @grub ...

The lines quoted, originally from Sir-Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" back in the 90s, were reused as quoted in Nicki Minaj's 2014 hit "Anaconda."

The linked facebook profile goes to that of a woman named Yugat Banshan. Yu-gat Bans-han is a loose fit for the end of the aforementioned lyric, "My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun."

This is also not the first time this joke has been made.



Or even the second

 
Mysterious Mr.Enter continues to be the most depressing sounding critic of all time. Occasionally he does a good video, but oft times he'll go on some long tangent that makes you feel like your soul is dying.

Uh.. just a heads up for other Texas-residing halforumites... A lot of different health organizations, from family and emergicare clinics up to and including the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, are buying ad space on my stations right now emphasizing Zika preventative measures.

So, uhm... This might be a good time to stock up on Deep Woods Off.

I was writing a summary for my comic so far as a means to pull in readers, when I got to the part where Holt recounts the South Carolina ghost story of the Hound of Goshen. It reminded me of the similarities it has in some ways to Jurassic Bark, except the Hound story is really old. Nothing new under the sun and all. In the story, a traveling [salesman, bum, etc. depending on version] in the wrong place at the wrong time is convicted of a coincidental murder he did not commit. He's hanged at a cross-roads, and the dog he was travelling with doesn't leave his side. When he's buried, the dog lies on top of his grave, refusing food until he dies of hunger. Afterwards, when traveling down the road where it happened, a white hound is reported by travelers running alongside their vehicles before turning and running straight through the gates of the cemetery where the traveler was buried (or stopping at a river crossing, depending on version). No matter how fast you go, the hound keeps up, and runs silently. Neat story. SC has some great ghost legends.
 
I was venting to my family via text about my volunteer position and some of the attitude I'm getting.

She told me to smile sweetly and think of taco chips.

Exact quote. I don't get it.

It causes me physical pain whenever any of you hyper-yanks use the phrase "taco chips."

Not to be a Calleja about this, but a taco is a complete food item. The chips are just made from tortillas.

So, unless your chips have meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream on them, they're just tortilla chips. And even if they do have all that, then they're nachos.

What about Taco flavored Doritos, eh smart guy?

Or just buy stock in SCJohnson oh wait you can't it's a private company too bad.
At least you can check out their mosquito advice pages.[DOUBLEPOST=1495151379,1495151237][/DOUBLEPOST]

They are a recursive abomination, especially if you get Dorito-flavored taco-flavored Doritos. It's like when Hairspray became a musical based on a movie that was based on a musical.

Like you said, those are taco flavored doritos :p Not "Taco chips."

It's like, potato chips. Not French Fry chips. Yes, potatoes are used in french fries, but that doesn't make the chips french fry chips, not even if they're "french fry flavored" potato chips.

For what it's worth, she said that, not me :)

And I'm no closer to having any idea what it means in response to the concern I raised to her. I haven't even taken my pain meds yet, so I can't blame it on brain fog.

It's like asking someone for their phone number and having them say "purple".
 
If I heard "taco chip" in the wild, I'd assume they meant nachos.

Or they're one of the idiots that answer my Craigslist postings.
 
I wish I had some nachos, or taco chips, right now. I just watched Grey's Anatomy and I'm so stressed out and I've been crying for half an hour non-stop.

I suck at making promotional materials. I mean, I REALLY suck at it. A friend of mine suggested a site called PosterMyWall and I made this little thing in about 15 minutes for a gig my company is putting on for the 9th. Holy crap was it easy!

That site is neat, but runs like I've got windows 10 on a 386 when using Firefox. I'll have to revisit it later using a different browser to see if it's any better.
