Something in another thread reminded me of this, which brings tears to my eyes everytime I play it.

There is an expletive in there somewhere, but it's pretty hard to pick up:

Whenever the kids slide down the banister, I always remind them to go easy.  I know they haven't when I hear a yelp and "ouch, my balls!"

on our way to the bus stop, there was a dead rat on the corner.  For some reason people don't like to look down once  in  a while to see where they are walking, so naturally this guy steps on the dead rat, he yelled sooo loud , it was funny.  on a side note seeing a dead rat is super gross.

A review of "Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son" on imdb:

A Brilliant Look at Transgenderism within an African-American Family
18 February 2011 | by equinizzle (United States)

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

In the vein of films like "Boys Don't Cry" and "Transamerica", "Big Momma's Like Father Like Son" dares to take on the taboo subject of transgenderism, a subject so often dodged by both mainstream and independent cinema. Yet this film dares to travel further into the taboo by displaying this theme with a backdrop of the relationship between an urban African- American father and son (a community that often shuns or ignores LGBT issues).

This dramatic comedy stars Martin Lawrence as Malcolm Turner, a frustrated man stuck behind his tough machismo identity, as both an FBI agent and African-American father. But the viewer quickly learns that the machismo displayed by Turner is guise to the true identity that liberates him, that of Hattie Mae Pierce, a confident large elderly black woman.

Unable to connect with his rapper son, brilliantly played by Brandon T. Jackson, the younger Turner is invited into his fathers secret world, when Hattie Mae Pierce takes a job at an all girls school, and insists he join him as a student under the guise of a female identity. But the line of Turner/Pierce's life between housemother and FBI agent becomes complicatedly blurred while trying to give her son a first hand understanding of her chosen lifestyle. Meanwhile the son grows increasingly tired of masking his true identity (thus finally understanding how his father feels) and ends up rejecting the transgender lifestyle for a cisgender one after falling in love with a female classmate.

As the film closes with Malcolm Turner finishing a final FBI case, father and son, n?e, mother and son, head back home, both equipped with a better understanding of who they and each other are and what their relationship truly means to one another. Bravo to director John Whitesell for making such an inspiring addition to LGBT cinema! 5/5 stars.

Trust me, I know the feeling. I had a period of time where I had to bike my way to college, 17 miles going and 17 miles coming, 5 days a week. Not to mention that there was a whole lot of uphill on a single speed road bike, I swear to god my legs gained at least 3 inches worth of muscle in that short span of time.

Pics or it didn't happen, hmed honey.

That is brilliant!


Today on the news, they said "World leaders and diplomats have spent the day denouncing Gadaffi".  It sounded funny.

We were eating at this little hole in the wall earlier tonight.  The CP took out the straw from his soda bottle.  Seeing me raise an eyebrow, he shrugged and said "Manly men don't drink with a straw.  So I'm not drinking with a straw."

Then there was the other day when the CP tapped me on the shoulder and asked: "Mommy is it true that you need to have sex to make babies?"  Before I could open my mouth to reply, the U had already jumped in with "It's true Ahia!  It's true!"  The CP turned to me for confirmation and I told him it was true.  Before I could add stuff about asexual reproduction and other stuff, the U was very smugly telling the CP, "See, I told ya."

[chekovsulu]

Just to make sure, the U is the younger one, right?

[subvinorosa]

Yep.

[hmed2390]

Yep.

well as long as it makes you smile. lol

A totally, politically incorrect gif made me laugh today, even a couple of hours later I'd chuckle when thinking of it.
