Geary and Jones (I think).
It obviously ain't my corner.

Ways Dave Is Trying To Conserve Money Number #1:
I'm checking out sites like Redtube and Xtube for free porn, rather than paying for video-on-demand.
I am such a hypocrite. Being poor robs you of your soul! It's like being a racist, but much less fun.
Also: Redtube and Xtube suck.

You know, the question over whether the use of "nigga" by black folks is ever appropriate or not, whether in music or in person or wherever, is one thing that I think about when I smoke.
But the use of "faggot" is generally accepted to be wrong by most people (exception: gay humor?). Straight people shouldn't refer to anyone, really, as a "faggot," whether as either a homophobic or childishly emasculating putdown. Sure, there are bigots and hill people and some ghetto people and six year-olds out there, but for the rest of us, we kinda know it's bad. If you're local newscaster referred to your local mayor as a "faggot," that'd be a "What the fuck did he/she just say?" kinda moment, and then you'd immediately Twitter/Facebook/Blog/Text Message Your Friends about it, because you are an attention-seeking whore.
Where was I? Oh right, the other "f-word." So in my old age, I still get embarrassingly shocked whenever I hear Dire Straits' Money For Nothing and then this comes along:
See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire
I know this song came out in 1984 or whatever, and times and attitudes were different. But still.
Liberal guilt. Harumph.
(Also: Blogger accepts the other "f-word" as a correctly spelled word in its spellcheck.)
