What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Could've been Ice Cold.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

You're right: "Fuck the Police" vs. "Cop Killer". Same theme, two guys with Ice in their names. But it was Ice-T who put on the uniform in the video. (What was the name of his metal band? Something with "death" in it, right?)

Although, considering Ice Cube has gone and made, like, warm-and-fuzzy farces with children and mayhem, I think that somebody put Valium into the water supply for the L.A. basin in the middle 1990s.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Although, considering Ice Cube has gone and made, like, warm-and-fuzzy farces with children and mayhem, I think that somebody put Valium into the water supply for the L.A. basin in the middle 1990s.

I would guess the combination of getting rich, being a parent, and generally growing up would tend to make anyone less of a thug.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Wasn't Ice Cube also in Boyz in the Hood?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Well, Ice-T was also in Ricochet with Denzel (one of the great, loony action films of all time where he plays a gangsta with a heart of gold). And Ice-Cube's first big role was Boyz in the Hood.

And they were both in Tresspass which was a pretty good film, IMO.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Yeah. there was a hilarious interview around that time in which Ice-T was trying desperately to be polite about Boyz, while clearly thinking it was a tedious piece of shit with no explosions.

(What was the name of his metal band? Something with "death" in it, right?)

Body Count
