Dude, I'm calming myself down by basically imagining the death of every single person now extant in this world, and you're trying to harsh that mellow? I really don't think that's the road you want to go down just now.
brenda, I have to say, I'd had the thought too. Them later folks will suck too, worse, they won't know the books or movies I know, so they'll be culturally-illiterate. It's a shame, really.
What nationality (if any) does the phrase "We be jammin(g)" evoke for people?
Victorian. Isn't that nice Marley chap written up in Dickens?
US Virgin Islands can't get their own freaking identity
Do they have the same shared heritage of patois? Also, they can't get their own identity cause someone already has Virginians covered.
But you're ignoring the common linguistic roots. Patois, especially when spoken by Rastas does use that same construction of the verb to be.
Not ignoring, just ignorant. (Speaking of common roots, huh.)
Poor Virgin Islanders, they've got nothing.
Victorian.
When did that become a nationality? Or is it Victorian in the same way Bride and Prejudice is?
Do they have the same shared heritage of patois?
They may have a patois. They're unlikely to have a shared heritage of Rastafarians, though. Unless I missed something big.
Poor Virgin Islanders, they've got nothing
What are you talking about?
1) they are US - obviously the bestest country ever - God loves the US - listen to W.
2) they are virgins - God loves virgins, not to mention their value on the black market
3) they are islands - islands never cry.

But they'll be fucking things up for other people, and therefore not my problem. Which makes all the difference. What do I care if a magazine editor of the future sits on copy that was submitted more than a month previously suddenly sends the first proof and wants all the approvals on text and design from my firm's higher-ups, the president of a major university system, and assorted other poohbahs in the next two hours so that she can get her mag to the printers
today.
I don't, that's what. They can go to town. My vengeful wrath will be sated on the blood of the current generation - that's just the kind of giving person I am.
bahahah!
msbelle, as ever, you are so cute.

Aha! It all makes sense now ...
it’s loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
Not to mention the lack of penetration.

That must be it! You know, I had no idea Bob Marley was in Bride and Prejudice. Another reason to see it soon.
They're unlikely to have a shared heritage of Rastafarians, though.
Is this happening because of the Jamaican resorts that use Jammin' (Sandals? Hedonism?) to market sun and sand, so the USVI are coat-tailing along on that?
Has everyone here seen the Industrious Clock? [link]
That site is actually exhausting me.
