What? How do you know that black people don't like historical fiction? I've never heard that. What about Toni Morrison? She does it.

I just gave you all the evidence you need. Now please tell me why they hate it so?
Or are you saying that it's not the whole genre they hate? Maybe they just hate Bernard Cornwell? ::wonders why he's distracted by the JC Penney ad*:: I hadn't considered that.
*He knows why - it's the bras.

Cuz they're really cool and sexy.

Hmmmmmm, it's a shame you can't think of a way to ask that question. I'll let you know if I can come up with anything.

None of the Asians that I know smoke. Maybe I'm simply associating with the wrong crew.
Same with me, Matt. Not a one of them!

They do smoke. You need to start paying attention.


Personally, I don't smoke for health, wealth, and taste. If you kiss someone who has just smoked, bleah!
It's true many Asians do smoke and when they do, they are chimneys. But those who choose to quit do it like effin-ninjas - cold turkey and no lapsing.

I don't get this. Throw some variety in there. If your wife is a tall blonde, try a short goth chick or a latina. If she's an emaciated brunette, pursue a voluptuous red-head, or, I don't know, a blonde with gravity-defying implants. Shake things up guys - don't get stuck in a rut.
I'm not endorsing cheating, of course. And I would personally never do it because 1. I like living, and 2. it seems like a lot of work.
*Okay, Brett Favre didn't cheat (this time). He was rejected because he's an old skeeve.

Because we do. Because Margaret Thatcher was born in the UK. Lots of things.

It means I would have voted for her - she would have been a good option.

I wish I knew. It happens before you're old, though.

I am. Are you aware that I like toast with homemade jam?

WTF!?




i still haven't sent the picture! she never send me her email =P guahahha she thinks she crazier than me! and she ain't!

I still like your english best, Alfonso. But Oddrun's really is the charmingest.
(except when you say "sleep pretty." That's the motherfucking charmingest english I've ever heard.)

and now i have another picture of Boby in my phone! and he looks great in this one!
1. This first question is directed to Eh (no, I'm not going to type in the "!", because it's annoying and feels awkward) or anyone else really, who might have some insight. Okay Eh, do you smoke? If not, why not?
Also, why do so many asians smoke? Roughly 91% of the asians I know smoke*. Why is this?
2. Why do black people hate the historical fiction genre? I don't understand. I think it's great! Sometimes straight history is too dry, so it's nice to read a little historical fiction; you can learn about events of historical significance (in a peripheral manner), and be thoroughly entertained at the same time. A little background; I found out recently that a book I've been waiting for had been released (The Burning Land). I have library memberships in two different counties. One is predominantly white, the other is predominantly black. I put the book on hold in both counties. In the white county, I was 35th in the queue, but in the black county, I was first, and had the book in my hot hand three days later. So, the only conclusion I can draw is that black people hate historical fiction, and I want to know why.
* I suspect that the other 9% smoke on the sly.
