Err, yes. Yes it is. But y'all not allowed to drink tea, grow daffodils, have male voice choirs, mine coal, or binge drink any more. That's my culture, and you can't have any.

ReplyDeleteBupSahn Sunim Oi!
ReplyDeleteI may sound like Radio 4, but I'm half Scots and it's called Scotch for a reason!
Drinking?
Why, we invented it!
I'll start: "Nothing like a good glass of Chateau de Chassilier wine, ay Gessiah?"
Wonder bread, Miracle Whip, Brady Bunch, macaroni casserole, station wagons, and growing petunias are my heritage. My family crest has a bible and an ear of corn.
ReplyDeleteBupSahn Sunim By the ancient and noble right of Finders Keepers. I've declared it mine, therefore it is mine. You can't just come along and arbitrarily decide that is isn't mine when I've quite clearly arbitrarily said that it is mine, that would be ridiculous...
ReplyDeleteYou'll just have to make do with Morris dancing, I suppose.
White people tend to have more scalp oils and that makes dreds a bit funky smelling, they work best on black hair for that reason. I say to each his own, and we should wear our hair how we want, but I've not seen any on a white person that didn't smell or look dirty. Just my opinion, but it means little.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne Lewis I'm afraid that it was the point all along. Asked how his dreads keep up so fine, our musician answered "beer, and dirt". You don't expect that to smell like daffodils.
ReplyDeleteBupSahn Sunim Plus points if you're an astronomer/astrophysicist.
ReplyDeleteI remember a COSPAR in Nagoya where a British/German contingent emptied the complementary beer-stacks that the local organizers had provided.
'Fighting over dreadlocks and at the same time calling it culture' is a sign of frustration to me. The instigator is possibly searching for a sense of belonging at the wrong time, with a bad manner and at wrong way. Shit happens everywhere.
