          In America, cracker is a racial slur used against white people but like the term honky, very few white people care less about being called that.

            My understanding is that it is an anti-semetic term (related to matzoh) that has been re-purposed as/mistaken for a racist term against white people.

            Much like “stupid” is actually an ablist term, but very few people realize.

              There are icky terms for us Jews, but cracker isn’t one of them (except insofar as we’re white, these days). Race in America: there’s plenty of weirdness to go around!

              Actually, the history behind that word is kinda funny. Way back when, a cracker was a braggart (like, cracking wise, or cracking a joke). I think Shakespeare even used it. Eventually the term came to apply to certain early southern American frontiersman, who were apparently known as lawless braggarts, I guess? The name would’ve died out until it revived again as a name for cowboys from Florida and Georgia (also descendants of the above frontiersman), since they didn’t herd with lassos, but instead with whips. Which they “cracked”, of course. Nowadays, it’s kindof a point of pride for some folks, that call themselves Florida Crackers to indicate that they’re descended from those early Floridian (and I guess Georgian) settlers.

              Though yes, it has spread elsewhere as a racial slur that few folks actually get offended by.

              The more you know!

              *Every* english term for being unimpressively intelligent is ablist by that measure, since all such terms were used indiscriminately on both fools and the genuinely retarded forever.

                Sure you could! “Asshole” is an insult that isn’t sexist, racist nor ableist.
                I guess it’ll become politically incorrect when and if we have uplifted animals, but until then, it’s safe.

                That is not true. It’s okay to call some people stupid. The rude customers on NotAlwaysRight for example chose to be that way. It doesn’t matter if some people have used it for the mentally retarded…the people using it wrong don’t taint the word.

                And there are plenty of terms you could use that aren’t racial, gender, orientation, or religion based. Most cursewords that don’t involve female genitalia and variations on shit or turd can get around that.

        Kind of, but that’s an oversimplification. I’m a mobile phone geek, and I’m fascinated by the retrograde tactics the industry uses to market these devices to women. Brand awareness is necessary just to keep up. (The Rhyme was a fascinating, if insultingly sexist, experiment in marketing Verizon Android devices outside the 18-[35? 49?] male demo. It was also a great midrange device for the time. I’ve always been curious about the people who bought it, and it would tell me something about Dorothy were she one of them.)

          I find it funny that they(the marketers) feel that things like colour only appeals to women, I like distinctive colours like bright green, orange, yellow, mint or even a nice brown.

          I have been searching around for water/shock-resistant phones which have stereo Bluetooth, Micro SD, a decent MP3 player and a good battery life. I don’t care about having a million apps so having my next phone as a smartphone isn’t that important to me.

          The best ones I’ve seen are the JCB Toughphones and G-Shock phones, but I might have trouble getting my hands on them.

    Of all the things Joyce and Walky thought Dorothy would be doing, “stalking a superhero” probably wasn’t on the list.

    I’m curious about how Dorothy went about tracking her down. Dorothy seems too well-prepared for this to be random chance.

    Now, of course, Amazi-Girl’s identity is in actual jeopardy. Hope you’re e-mailing that pic to yourself before she reaches you, Dor.

      I don’t see Dorothy being “too well-prepared”. She’s using her cell-phone, which she would likely have on her most of the time, to take the picture. It’s not like Amazigirl was bounding around rooftops; She was standing still, after calmly conversing with a student. I’ve snapped much more transient phenomena with my camera phone before.

    Amazi-girl: “Maybe there is some way I could… convince you…. to keep those photos to yourself?”

    Dorothy: “Maybe there is…” Smooch smooch smack…

    Later….

    Random 1920’s vintage Newsie: “Extra Extra, Amazi-girl in awesome lesbian sex video! Gives it to mysterious hot blond like there’s no tomorrow!”

    Dorothy: “What? You only said ‘no pictures’, you didn’t say anything about no VIDEOS.”

    Meanwhile…

    Joyce: “Oh my god this video is so incredibly hot that I’m suddenly a lesbian!”
    Sarah: “Oh man, me too!”
    All other women in the world: “Oh man, me too!”

    Meanwhile meanwhile:
    Manny: “Oh, wow, it’s so hot that I’m suddenly straight!”
    Drew: “Oh no! Me too!”
    Nearly all other gay men: “Oh no! Me too!”
    Ethan: “Hmmm, nice camera work. Wait, what’s that? Robin has a mole on her butt in the EXACT SAME PLACE! What a weird coincidence!”

    Dorothy: Mwwahahahahah! My evil plot to make a lesbian sex video so hot that all women become lesbians and all gay men straight is a success! Now all women will be happy and all men will be miserable! Mwaaaaahahahahahahhh!!

    CAN Ethan, the only gay man immune to Amazi-girl’s and Dorothy’s incredibly hot sex video, stop her foul plot in time? WILL Dorothy’s evil plot to extinguish the human race through hot lesbian love succeed? Can Amazi-girl team up with Ethan without revealing her SECRET IDENTITY?

Joyce is absolutely totally straight and just wants to hang out with her best friend, who happens to be another lady. This is normal behavior and a normal biblical quote to use that has no other context. GAL PALS
