A. Bring them some cookies.

B. Give them a copy of the latest Prussian Blue CD.

C. Give them a turtle to eat.

D. Stuff a deer's head in their mailbox.

Bring 'em some fried chicken and watermellons. What could possibly go wrong?

Apparently Allen has never had delicious snapper soup.

On preview: And some 40s.

Well, he's not actually a Southerner. he's a Californian who role plays the worst Southern stereotypes.

Snapper soup is southern?

Your attack, 'hillbilly anal rape' is repelled.

How would you greet a white family in your neighborhood?

With a noose.

I wouldn't greet either of them - I never talk to neighbours if I can help it.

Remove your lawn jockeys until they become more settled: It's the white thing to do.

Miss Manners' answer: "How do you do?"

Just so everyone's clear, I'm not actually asking for advice, and no one's actually moved in to my neighborhood. I'm making fun of Senator George Allen.

(i knew that ortho - i just think that's the best Miss Manners quote ever - I think it was actually in response to the question "What do I say when I am introduced to a gay couple?")

and that's, to my non-USian eyes, the strangest part. that's why I img src'd a shot from The Believer in a Allen thread on MeFi -- I mean, a suburban Californian Jew who does everything he can to morph into a KKK cracker? come on, it's a fucking (sad) joke

"OMG I LOVE THE OPERA!!!"

One of my favorite lines was from this loser movie called Mother, Jugs, and Speed. A white bigot had finally seen the light and was hosting a few black folks. He goes, "what do you people take in your coffee?"

If I am comfortable enough around someone, I'll trot that one out.

God, I used to love that movie. Then I grew up, which is a shame.
