Cultural Identity

[Ambrosious]

Do you have one? What is it?

 

[Purple Haze]

I'm from the northern plains, we don't have culture here.

It's not allowed.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Hah! Got'cha thinkin'.... good.

Thinkin' and stinkin'. That's what I like.

Brit, Brit and tripple Brit - mostly low-life, blue collor shit - my RL names mean - rag dealer, park ranger, and then I have some sort of upper crust name thrown in there too. Some Earl or such thing.

WASP - White Anglo Saxon Protestant!!!!

Family came over but we don't know when - go west young man - and they did. MO sod-busters! No birth records - every baby born on a farm for a hundred years.

Relatives named Pudge, Doc, Rudy, John the Beard and Jimmy Lee - they say I'm 7th cousing twice removed of the Younger's - check yer Wild West history folks - bad dudes.

I am the epitome of White Scum-sucking, trailer trash, farm boy from the mid-west.

But I made good and now I'm a city boy.

Cultural what?

I'm waiting for someone to conjure up the ghost of modernity to do battle with the spectral postmodern fragmentation of identity. You know, like a zephyr and all ...

Hey

If you can't stand the irony, get off the irony board. You'll be asserting non-Asian qualities on me next ... say what?

A certain refinement from overeducated and grovelingly poor Irish Catholic forebears. A bit of practicality from a Scottish grandmother. A psychotic streak from the Cornish merchant who settled in Massachusetts in 1753.

Mix well, and bake in Southern California. Go figure.

Oh forget it. I retract my previous statement.

You know, just because you don't understand someone's sense of humor isn't a good reason to slate it. That wasn't very nice. Ally's wit is very British; it's extremely dry. I also find it very, very funny.

You have mail.

Bri, but you can't retract the quotes. HAHAHA!

 

[DarlingBri]

Ahhhh....

But now I can stand with righteous indignation on both shores

CB, you have a reply.

 

[OUTSIDER]

Errrr......no

 

[DarlingBri]

Errrr......no

Joke, joke, I was kidding. I'm very aware of the fact that YOYOW. I was merely trying to avoid a tangle with CB, as it's only been 24 hours since our last one

I'm really sorry DB but I never actually read any of the post's above, I was just being flippant.

No worries, it's still true
