Is this a boy thing?
No, at least not where Napolean Dynamite is concerned -- most of my co-workers quote it pretty constantly too (male and female).
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Maybe because a fifties lamp could be a lot of different styles and Mid-Century Modern is specific style? One of those lamps with a Bullfighter base and a red silk shade is fifties, right?
What she said! Only, I wasn't going to use question marks. MCM is a style ref like "Deco" that's tied loosely to a time period, but that isn't the only style going down at the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hec, that article, although interesting (thanks again, flea!) didn't mention anything about house vs. field slaves.

The status is NOT quo.
That's why I'm mystified that Mom prefers ND.
Heh. Hee. I skimmed to the end and read this snippet out of context. I was about to pout: Hey! I thought your mom liked me better! She hasn't even MET ND yet!

Dang! Yeah, I didn't find the research I had mentioned in the other stuff I dug up either.
But I'm pretty sure the slave graveyard was in New York somewhere.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Huh. Reasons going in and paying rent in person is good, include this guy. He was showing off some of his portfolio and there were these pictures where he was "sweaty" and "wounded" and a little "battered" so now Ima go have an impure thought about my neighbor.

You should come pay rent here. The rats are low and guys are smokin' hot.

Hec, was it in conjunction with this exhibit?
