The Ice Cream Cone Test and Black Hurricanes

A Juliana favorite!!! LOL I wonder how true this is?



You Are a Mystery




Everyone thinks they have you figured out, but you’re not as innocent as you look. You don’t show all your cards, and you have a lot more going on underneath the surface than people suspect. You are complicated but subtly so. It takes a long time for anyone to really get what you’re all about. You are good at mastering your image. You make sure that others see only you want them to see.

BLACK HURRICANES

NOTE: Before anyone goes and gets their knickers wadded or shorts bunched I’m just passing along jokes that I get in my email. I don’t create these and if I did I would surely let you know. So if this doesn’t sit well with you oh well. If you complain here you will probably get a tongue lashing back. LOL. Yes I post them on my blog so they most likely are my responsibility but I like all kinds of humor. Like our former President Bill Clinton: “I did not have sex with that woman”

Well, it appears our African-American friends have found yet something else to be pissed about. A black congresswoman (this would be Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston ), reportedly complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian sounding names.

She would prefer some names that reflect African-American culture such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaqueal, and Jamal. I am NOT making this up!

She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in ‘language’ that street people can understand because one of the problems that happened in New Orleans was, that black people couldn’t understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the racially biased language of the weather report.

I guess if the weather person says that the winds are going to blow at 140+ MPH, thats too hard to understand

I can hear it now: A weatherman in New Orleans says…

Wazzup, mutha ! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin’ fo’ yo ass like Leroy on a crotch rocket! Bitch be a category fo’! So, turn off dem chitlins, grab yo’ chirren, leave yo crib, and head fo’ de nearest FEMA office fo yo FREE shit!

Hey, it’s only my opinion.

  1. You Are a Surprise

    There’s nothing about you that is predictable or ordinary. You are totally one of a kind!
    You’re always changing and growing. You are never how you once were – you’re always a little better.

    You are constantly on the lookout for new trends or ideas. You love discover something else to love.
    You are quite sweet, but you also keep it real. You wanted to be accepted for who you truly are.

  2. Perhaps Sheila Jackson Lee should change her name. It doesn’t adequately represent the culture she is advocating for. I can find you white people with all three of her names.


    You Are a Rebel


    You’re a wild child, and you aren’t about to slow down anytime soon.
    You’re the type of person who will do something just to say that you did it!

    You don’t worry too much about getting caught – you’re having too much fun breaking the rules.
    While you may not be involved in illegal activities, you do like breaking social norms.

  3. I never new that chocolate was so “artsy.” I just thought that it made me feel lovely. ;)

    You Are an Artist
    Whether your creations are in your mind or on paper, you are definitely an arty person. You see the beauty in the world, and somehow the ugly parts are beautiful to you too.

    You have an intensity that’s unmatched and unstoppable. You feel strongly about everything. You are driven to create. You are never content to just sit still.

    Mwah! xxoo

  4. You Are a Genius
    You tend to let others have their way. You know that it’s best not to put up a fight.
    In the end, you get what you want anyway. You are believe in patience and kindness.

    You are talented at sizing people up. You know what each person needs or wants from you.
    You always have the advantage, but you don’t always use it. Your intuition is a double edged sword.

    Well who’d a thought it? LOL

    Re the jokes – you can’t please all of the people all of the time Thom, so you’re right not to try. x

  5. OMG…..I seem to have forgotten something here? Oh ya, the ice cream. Well, I will go back and take that test of urine’s [that's as close to 'black talk' as I can muster right now] But that stuff about NeOilin’s weather report I just gotta copy and send to one who lives in Houston…if you know who I mean. Too too good. Thom, you made my day this mawning!!

  6. You Are a Romanic

    You know that life can’t be all sweetness, love, and romance – but you wish it was.
    You live for the good times and try to forget the bad times as soon as possible.

    You are resilient, especially when it comes to dealing with heartbreak. You are always ready to love again.
    You try to count your blessings whenever possible. Nothing is more important than gratitude.

    isn’t that supposed to be “ROMANTIC”? LOL!

    that’s a cool way of weather forecasting… maybe it can be delivered in rap as well to make it more appealing :D

  7. I am a Genius

    {Lies, all Lies}

    The Weather is The Weather, and no matter in what language it is Forecast, there is nothing we can do about it. The Dang Storm is going to happen. :)

  8. You again have made me chuckle…

  9. it is more than clear that i’ll go for whatever most resembles chocolate. apparently, that means i’m artistic… pffft!

    :)

  10. i did not have sex with that woman either!
    i am a rebel!

  11. I changed my mind and re-took the “test”
    it says “You Are a Romanic”

    hey thats what it says. i copy and pasted it?
    i’ve never been a romanic before.
    what is it?

  12. Too funny with the ice cream cone :D
    Heard about the Hurricane naming,… what’s next?

  13. New Orleans weatherman… lol… can’t even read it.

    You’re not as innocent as you look! :D

    And I am an artist?… I picked my choice because it looked like chocolate to me and choc is my fave flavor :)

  14. You Are an Artist
    Whether your creations are in your mind or on paper, you are definitely an arty person…. hmmmm….all from a chocolate ice cream choice!

    I’ve read your blog too long – I expected something way different would come up when I saw the cones. LOL!

    As for the joke – give me a break.
    It makes no difference the color of your skin. You should know correct English and know how to use it. Nelson Mandala didn’t get the Nobel Peace prize using street language. As you would say Thom, hey, it’s my opinion.
    And, having taught in a Title One school I know those forecasters would be mispronouning any Africian-American name they were given and then there we would go again with something else.
    I’ll get off my soapbox now. :)

    • My friend, I so love it when you get on your soap box. And this box is so right on the mark :) You should see some of the comments that Congresswoman makes. She is just amazing. I can’t stand that broad. LOL I think it’s funny that you expected something different with the cones LOL Rock on Carletta :)

  15. Wow. I didn’t know “run” could be so easily misunderstood.

  16. What a joke Thom. Is anyone getting offended?
