Samantha tells me she has to nip out to help an old man next door who has trouble using his stairlift. She goes in every night to put him on downstairs, and then pulls him off on the landing.
RIP Humph Lyttelton.

The difference between her flow and Staples’ is yet another profound demonstration of the racial divide in the U.S. right now.

Ha I thought I was the only one using that interface! And +1! It looks like a really easy fix too, just make that column a bit wider.

Of course you would. You’d also probably piss yourself if you passed him on the sidewalk.

If it’s about the urban myth about masturbation, I think maybe that’s a misconception.
From various sources, but no citation:
In a VH1 True Spin special, they asked The Vapors about this song, and they explained that it is a love song about someone who lost their girlfriend and was going slowly crazy. Lead singer Dave Fenton said: “Turning Japanese is all the clichés about angst and youth and turning into something you didn’t expect to.”

My uncle certainly believed it. For his generation, where he lived, “Turning Japanese” was a common euphemism for masturbation.

How did that one get started? Do Japanese people masturbate a lot?
I see it as more anti Japanese racism from the 1940s-50s.
thanks lady… it’s been years since i was introduced to a rap artist i am willing to spend money on their art. it certainly doesn’t hurt that the beats are well above par.

The suggestion was that people squint while they masturbate.
