Goodbye Summer: Harvesting the Last of My Pitiful, But Delicious Tomatoes
Kitchen Diary: Anne in South Carolina
I don't remember why I decided to plant tomatoes this summer. Because my gardening skills are dismal, I haven't done it in years, and have depended on the kindness of friends and neighbors and the prowess of local farmers to provide my favorite summer produce. Predictably, my tomato plants were not great producers. This may have had something to do with the fact that I dropped them in the ground and ignored them. Every now and then, with no effort on my part, I plucked a few off the vine and they were delicious.

Why Cucumber Is the New Baguette
Old Ingredient, New Trick
Flashing back to my youth, nothing brought me more joy than finding a mini turkey and cheese baguette inside my lunchbox. They were petite and dainty and oh-so-satisfying, with just the right ratio of crunchy bread to light spread and savory fillings.
But along the way, both bread products and baguettes left my life. And while I've made do with matzoh and rice cracker stand-ins, I missed the shape, taste, and texture of my original sandwich. That is, until I realized the unassuming cucumber could save the day. Because let it be heard here first, cucumbers are the new baguette. No baking required.

Recipe: Roasted Sweet Potato Slices with Cilantro Pesto
Recipes from The Kitchn
There are two ways of thinking about foods we used to hate. First, regret — for missing so many years of oysters or chunky peanut butter or what have you. Second, gratitude that there is still something new to be discovered at the table, foods that were waiting in the wings to come on stage and take us by surprise. I take the second path with sweet potatoes, the tragic victim of marshmallow-topped sludge in my impressionable childhood, but now one of my chief food loves.
There's nothing of childhood casseroles in this colorful and satisfying sweet potato platter of simple roasted rounds topped with a chutney-inspired pesto of cilantro, coconut, and garlic.
Recipe: Lighter Baked Macaroni & Cheese with Spinach & Red Peppers
Recipes from The Kitchn
We are getting into the days when hearty casseroles and warm cheesy things are starting to sound like a good idea again. My absolute favorite time of year. Put this casserole on your list — it's a veggie-filled riff on baked mac 'n' cheese that doesn't require a roux or even much prep at all, beyond cooking the pasta. It hits that sweet spot of comfort food that has enough redeeming nutritional qualities to justify having it both for dinner and lunch the next day.

November 26, 2014
NASHUA, N.H. (AP) - New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is back in New Hampshire for the second time in little more than a month.
This time he's defending his economic record against Democratic attacks as he courts voters in the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state ahead of a prospective White House bid.
Christie says he inherited a moribund economy when he became governor back in 2010. He told voters at Nashua's BAE Systems on Thursday that he's been trying to fix economic problems far worse than New Hampshire's.
Christie's economic record has come under increasing scrutiny as he recovers from a political retribution scandal that's jeopardized his presidential ambitions.
Democratic officials outside Christie's appearance highlighted New Jersey's economic struggles under Christie's leadership: weak job creation, credit downgrades, high property taxes and budget deficits.

GEORGE TOWN: A Casanova has been ordered to be whipped six times in addition to his earlier sentences of five years in jail and RM10,000 fine for two counts of cheating.
Computer technician K.K. Prabaharan, 46, gained notoriety after escaping from a courthouse while under police escort last year.
In enhancing Prabaharan's sentences, Justice Zamani Abdul Rahim said that whipping was mandatory for the offences under Section 420 of the Penal Code.
"Therefore, the jail sentence is retained, and you will be sentenced to three strokes of the rotan for each offence.
"That means for both charges, you'll be whipped a total of six times," Justice Zamani said in revising the case yesterday.
On Jan 8, the Jawi magistrate's court sentenced Prabaharan to five years' concurrent jail and a total fine of RM20,000 for two counts of cheating in Bukit Tambun, central Seberang Prai, in early September 2012.
He was charged with dishonestly inducing R. Nirmala Devi to hand him a pair of gold earrings and RM10,000, believing that he would help her to pay her housing arrears, and dishonestly inducing R.K. Kesavaraj, 17, into handing him his smartphone believing that he could install a software on the device.
Prabaharan, who was unrepresented, said that he could not afford a lawyer, while the deputy public prosecutor was Muna Mohamed Jaafar.
It was reported that on Oct 9 last year, Prabaharan escaped and fled on foot after arriving at the courthouse here from Cameron Highlands under police escort.
Later on Oct 21, Asst Supt L. Chandkumary, 57, from Bedong in Kedah, was charged in a magistrate's court here with intentionally releasing Prabaharan who was in her custody at 1.50pm on Oct 9.
She denied the charge and also claimed trial to a second count of lodging a false police report at 8.05pm on Oct 9 at the Jalan Patani station. Both cases have been fixed for mention on March 25 and trial on May 7 and May 8.
Prabaharan, who is from Taman Mas in Ipoh, Perak, was re-arrested at a bus stop near a fast food outlet in Jalan Raja Laut, Kuala Lumpur, at 7.40pm on Jan 2.
It was previously reported that Prabaharan had been charged with 11 counts of cheating in George Town, Balik Pulau, central Seberang Prai, south Seberang Prai and Cameron Highlands.

Millennium Falcon and dancing Stormtroopers take over Spanish town
Whether you're religious or not, the run up to Lent is a strange time to be alive. Here in the U.S., we have Mardi Gras, Brazil has Carnival, and Spain has, uh, dancing Stormtroopers. Actually, the parade put on in the village of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Spain may not yet be a national event. It does draw quite the crowd, however.
Why this little seaside town, just north of Gibraltar, has people lining the rooftops come Fat Tuesday is a little something called "The Jedi Church Procession of the Knights of the New Hope." While there are a lot of terms in that title that seem to denote the heroes of the original Star Wars trilogy, the majority of the parade seems to actually be made up of DIY Stormtrooper costumes and dance moves. There's even a dancing Darth Vader keeping the troops in line.
The Empire doesn't have a complete monopoly on the festivities, however. The cherry on top of this dancing Star Wars sundae is an animatronic Millennium Falcon float, complete with running lights and a turret gun. The whole procession looks like a ton of fun, and an idea that we think should be recreated in earnest at comic cons.

It tastes like you worked all day over a hot stove, but Lemon-Rosemary Barbeque Chicken isn't hard to make. The secret lies in tossing the chicken in spices and leaving it in the refrigerator overnight to soak up the flavor. DaVita renal dietitian, Carol from New Jersey created this taste sensation for her dialysis patients and now she's sharing it with you, too.
When asked why she became a dietitian, Carol states, "I was interested in diabetes and concerned with healthful eating habits. The renal field gives a dietitian the opportunity to specialize in one specific area of nutrition. The kidney is a fascinating organ because it has so many nutrition-related functions"
Originally from Glen Ridge and Montclair, New Jersey, Carol attended Montclair State University. She has been with DaVita for over six years. "The most rewarding part of my job is assisting patients to achieve a better quality of health and life through diet, medications and dialysis. I make a difference in patients' lives by being a resource for nutrition information, as well as listening to nutrition-related issues without judgment," says Carol. On the flipside she says, "Issues that are most challenging in this inner-city hemodialysis unit center around patient noncompliance.
Overall, Carol tries to give her patients all the information and motivation they need to stick to the dialysis diet. "I enjoy the continuity of patient care, and getting to know each patient as an individual. I like being able to see what effect nutrition counseling makes on their food choices and habits," shares Carol. She describes her approach working with patients as personal and says, "I try to let patients know that I'm here for them as a resource for nutrition-related solutions, and not someone who will scold them if they slip up on their diet or medicines. I believe the most important things patients can do to improve their health are adhere to their dialysis schedule, dialysis diet and medication regimen."
Carol feels, "The great thing about working for DaVita is the many resources for dietitians. I didn't realize until I came to work here that there was such a thing as residual kidney function." In addition to learning a lot, Carol appreciates the kindness from her fellow teammates and patients. She recalls, "A new patient pulled me aside one day to let me know that many of the patients said I was a 'real sweetheart.' That patient said she wanted me to know this because she felt I would be touched to know people spoke about me this way."
"Our center is located in an inner-city area and my teammates make it special with their genuine concern for our patients' well-being. I am essentially a local in the area, as I have lived here all my life. Most of my teammates have been at this clinic for years," says Carol.
Carol's Lemon-Rosemary Barbeque Chicken takes the humble chicken and blends it with an array of spices to give it a kick you'll appreciate. This hot, oven-baked dish will really warm your table and your tummy.

Channing Tatum Talks Working with Roland Emmerich and Jamie Foxx, Doing His Own Stunts, MAGIC MIKE 2 and More on the Set of WHITE HOUSE DOWN
Channing Tatum has starred in many great movies over the past few years. He is the right actor for the roles that he played and he's about to embark on a new phase of his career. Yes ladies and gentlemen, Tatum will be the future action star and based on Roland Emmerich's White House Down, he's a natural.
Tatum was interviewed and he spoke about his outfit, what it was like to work with Jamie Foxx, Emmerich and his previous works- Magic mike, 21 Jump Street and the status of Magic Mike 2.
Did you ever think you were going to be in this type of movie? Because you started off in a small way and have been billowing up and up and up, and now you're top-lining an Independence Day type action movie; is that kind of trippy and fun?
Tatum:Yeah, I think every step of the way is trippy in this. You never think you're going to be in a love story, you never think you're going to be in a comedy, you never think anything. I've said it before that movies are the highest stakes make-believe game in the world, and this is truly the most highest stakes. It's unreal how fast this project got going to begin with, and all the people that just jumped on immediately. This movie got its script sold like that [snaps fingers], and then it went into production like that [snaps fingers]. I met Roland two or three days after he decided to take the movie. He had a similar movie, I think, that he was writing and this just sort of came along and he took it over. But I don't think you can ever plan for anything like this, this is nuts. I'm getting to shoot javelins- not shoot them, but stop people from shooting them, I get shot at the whole way. It's cool.
Reid and Brad were talking about your chemistry with Jamie being important in this. How did you guys work that out? Because obviously this is a super tight schedule, 14 months from script to release. Talk a little bit about working with Jamie.
Tatum:Jamie and I got along from jump. Oddly enough we had met for the first time at the Spring/Summer of Sony whatever thing that they have, I don't understand exactly, but it's awesome so I'm just like [laughs] "Yeah, I'm going." I met him on that, he was there for Django and I was there to sell Jump Street. I just met him and he's maybe one of the single-handedly most talented people I've ever met in my entire life. The man can literally do anything. There's a piano in one of the hallways that leads to the residence in the White House, and in between takes he just over there playing jazz and you're just like, "Shit". Then he stands up and he's Jamie Foxx, kid from Texas, you know, from maybe not the highest class part of town, he's one of the boys. Then you get him into the scene and he's the President. It's incredible to watch him and he's such a good guy. I'm learning a lot from him as far as even how to just be in this industry. It's cool, I love him to death. I wish you did get to meet him because it's pretty funny he looks…you won't be able to tell exactly what's different, what he's done to himself, but it's pretty interesting.

That is a good mask, made with a good material. I have to confess: when i buy it, i though that would be a really cheap plastic, due to the price. I was wrong. Good material.

Good basic design, very solid plastic material, good fit on your (my) face (the band is smooth enough and there are two pieces of foam in contact areas).

A great cheap and functional mask. It looks authentic enough, fits nicely and comfortably, doesn't hinder vision and may be used with a hat of your choice (not sure about glasses, though).

What about the treaty Clinton signed with Ukraine, guaranteeing our aid for their defense in exchange for their giving up their nukes?

The masks demonstrate weakness. Ukraine ought to institute a Martial Law that calls for shooting on sight any armed person wearing a mask. That would tend to eliminate masked men, as well as armed masked men.

What's the deal?
At the Thursday Deale Farmers Market, a number of Bay Weekly readers have asked what is causing so many trees to turn brown. This year the browning of leaves started in late June and has progressed rapidly. The browning has nothing to do with drought, which some people blame.
The black locust leaf miner is responsible.
What's a farm without dogs and cats?
The Gouins have had five dogs and four cats. Yoder, our first dog, was an Appalachian beagle, from near Grantville in the Appalachian mountains. His mother was a beagle and the father, a neighbor's dog. He was given the name Yoder, which is Mennonite, because we purchased his first dog food at Yoder's meat market and locker.
I enjoy challenges in trying to solve plant problems, but I'll need a full case history
A growing number of Bay Weekly readers are coming to the Thursday afternoon Deale Farmers Market with plants to be identified or with plant problems. I don't mind interrupting sales of peaches to answer your questions. However, I find that I am not able to provide much assistance because many people bring only a leaf, a single flower or a photograph....
Trees, shrubs and herbaceous perennials move best now
Many home gardeners wait until spring to transplant in their landscapes. But if perennial plants such as trees and shrubs could talk, they would tell you that August and September are the best times for transplanting.
Healthier plants mean more oxygen and a healthier you
While relaxing in my hammock under the shade of our mature cherry bark oak trees, I realized that my heritage river birch tree, growing in front on my house, was expressing air pollution symptoms. The older leaves were turning yellow and beginning to fall. I noticed similar symptoms on the magnolia and crape myrtle.
Lots more good can come from your garden
For a feast-full fall garden, now is the time for planning and planting. On the other hand, if you want to take it easy after your spring and summer harvests, then simply plant a cover crop of winter rye in those areas where the crops have been harvested.
Not until we compost everything, including Uncle Charlie
I've been chastised by a Bay Weekly reader for not supporting commercial organic farming. So I'm explaining my position. I have conducted research in composting and in compost utilization for more than 30 years, so I am very familiar with the limitations of organic farming.
Starting now, you can harvest what you'll eat
If you planted long-day onions this spring, you will notice that they are forming bulbs. If you accidentally planted short-day onions, you will be feasting on onion tails for the rest of summer. Right now, both long-day onions such as Copra and First Edition and day-neutral onions like Candy are producing nice large bulbs....
The buyer needs to beware — and to be aware
To get the topsoil you want, you'll have to be precise in your order.
Ask a sand and gravel company to bring a load of topsoil without any more specific instruction, and you may get more, or less, than you bargained for.
For fall flowering, first divide, then prune
If you purchased hardy flowering chrysanthemums for your garden last fall, most likely they have survived the winter, and the clumps are producing multiple stems. What was one plant last fall is now a plant with five to 15 stems originating from the stump. Some varieties of chrysanthemums produce from the root system, while other varieties produce multiple stems from above ground.

And this is the way you have understood many times, this is not the first time. Many times you have turned back from the very doorstep of truth. Many times you have found the door and it was only a matter of knocking when again you have moved away towards the wall. This is where an error is made, that whatever is understood is not immediately translated into life.
In this context it is worth remembering that if someone calls you names you become angry immediately, but if someone gives you an understanding of truth you do not begin meditations immediately. If anything wrong is to be done we do it immediately; if something good is to be done we think about it. Both of these are very deep tricks of the mind, because whatsoever is to be done can be done only if it is done immediately - whether it is a question of being angry or doing meditation it does not matter. We want to express the anger, hence we do it immediately. We do not even wait for a moment, because if we wait we will not be able to do it.
If somebody calls you names and you tell him that you will come back and reply to him in twenty-four hours' time, you will never be able to reply at all. Twenty-four hours is a long time - if you wait even for twenty-four moments in silent consideration perhaps you will not have any desire to become angry. Perhaps you may laugh, perhaps you may see the foolishness of that person, or perhaps you may even see that the names he was calling you were right. So you think it is not right to lose time, it is necessary to retaliate in anger at once when the abusing words strike. As far as repenting is concerned, you will do that later on.
Have you noticed that all angry persons later repent? They repent after the act of anger. Had they waited a little the repentance would have come before the anger, and then the anger would never have happened. One who repents after anger will never be able to become free of anger. Only the one whose repentance precedes the anger can become free of anger, because whatsoever has already happened cannot be undone.
But where is the gap? There you called me names and here I become angry. Where is the time gap between the two so that I may think, consider and reflect, so that I may look into all the vows I took in the past not to become angry again, so that I can search in my past to see how many times I have already repented after becoming angry? But there is not that much opportunity, time or space. There somebody called me names and here the fire of anger is spitting.
Create a little gap and anger will become difficult. However, we do not create a gap when it is a question of anger, but we do create a gap when it comes to meditation. So meditation becomes difficult.
When there is an impact of something that is good and right, we do not immediately engage ourselves in doing it, we wait. That intervening time spoils everything. It is necessary to strike while the iron is hot. While we are thinking about it the iron becomes cold and then it brings no results.

inherited, ObjectSpace, and Test::Unit
As a part of working on a submission for the homework assignment for Ruby magazine The Rubyist, I wrote a game server so my co-workers and I could test our bots against each other.
Part of what's needed for a good server is the ability to automatically load classes and instantiate them. If you're familiar with
ObjectSpace and you have a way to identify the bot classes, it's not too hard. The only thing that identifies a bot class is a
move! instance method, but that should be enough:
player_classes = [] ObjectSpace.each_object(Class) do |klass| player_classes << klass if klass.instance_methods.include?('move!') end player_classes
It's a little nicer in Ruby 1.9, because if you don't pass a block to
ObjectSpace.each_object, you get an
Enumerable::Enumerator, so you can do something like this:
ObjectSpace.each_object(Class).select do |klass| klass.instance_methods.include?(:move!) end
(Ruby 1.9 uses symbols for method names here instead of strings.)
Of course, if you knew that all the player classes would be subclasses of, say,
TreasuredRuby::Bot, you could forgo using
ObjectSpace altogether and use
Class#inherited instead:
class TreasuredRuby::Bot PLAYER_CLASSES = [] def inherited(klass) PLAYER_CLASSES << klass end end
Where else are descendant classes treated specially?
Test::Unit, specifically
Test::Unit::TestCase subclasses. However,
Test::Unit uses
ObjectSpace to collect its descendant classes. There have been discussions about the problems it creates for JRuby, although JRuby handles
ObjectSpace.each_object(Class) because of
There was recently a patch suggested on the Ruby Core mailing list to replace using
ObjectSpace with
Class#inherited (and perhaps not the first), but it's still unapplied. There are arguments against using
Class#inherited: if you want to use
Class#inherited in your
TestCase classes, for example, you had better call
We'll see if
Test::Unit changes.

The Hours
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
The author brings with rare ease and assurance a convergence between Virginia Woolf's writing of Mrs. Dalloway and the lives of two American women. He is empathetic and lyrically watchful in his report on late twentieth century life with all its conflicting emotional claims.
NYPL Staff Pick
Clarissa plans a party for her oldest friend who has just one a prestigious literary prize and is imminently dying of AIDS. Laura, a 1950s housewife, struggles against waves of panic and isolation. Virginia Wolfe works on Mrs. Dalloway and longs for escape -- possibly even only death will do it. This one is extraordinary.
- Lynn Lobash, Readers Service
Michael Cunningham won the Pulitzer Prize for this masterpiece that weaves together the stories of three generations of women, each during a single day in her life, showing us how extraordinarily interconnected our seemingly ordinary lives are.
One of the best and most clever books I have ever read.
I'm not a big fan of Woolf, so this book was not to capture my interest; I realized, however, that this is my own failure and not a real mark of the quality of the book. Because it is indeed well written. There is a quiet power that weaves through the pages, deep emotions that lurk beneath the surface but pushed back. Convention, fear and ambiguity are all motivators that are not expressed but stifle the characters.
Despite myself, I was engrossed in Laura's despair and in Clarissa's need for order with Virginia's ghost in the background. The ending was no surprise to me, a neat way to explain the relationships, but an almost needless one because the lives of these women stand alone and are connected through time and emotion - that's the real strength of this book: the love of a rose for beauty, the rush of feeling, the unspoken hurt of love.
Book Club
The book begins with the suicide of Virginia Woolf and doesn't get any more cheerful than that. Laura Brown is an unhappy mom who checks into a hotel and considers suicide. The book ends with a poet comitting suicide. Even though the book won a Pulitzer Prize, it seems dark and arty. The language is like a painting, but it describes artists, gays, lesbians, and suicidal thoughts.
Great book to own
i had previously seen and enjoyed the movie version, but the book proved to be even better. Such pretty prose; strangely uplifting even though the subject matter is so dark.
The novel is a story of three women.
1. Clarissa gives a party for her (long ago) dead partner.
2. Laura is the mother of the dead man, who ahe has abandoned long time ago.
3. Virginia Woolf, who drowns herself, although was living with her caring husband and son.
the story intertwines the lives of the three women who are from different generations.
Splendid narration it is.

Sippin' on Some Syrup Lyrics - Three 6 Mafia
Review The Song (5)
[Intro: Bun B & DJ Paul]
Bun: Yeah you ol' pussy ass, cake ass, punk ass, trick ass, suck ass, fuck ass
dick in the booty ass, KY Jelly packin' ass niggas
You better get your bitch ass up off the street
Nigga, you got 5 seconds to get your hatin' ass up outta here
Cause it's some trill ass niggas in this motherfucker
Paul: Yeah, nigga, y'all know the motherfuckin' score
Y'all non-snorters, non-smokers, non-sippers, get the fuck up outta here, bitch!
Bun: Nigga, it's some sippin' ass, pourin' up ass, smokin' ass, gettin' high ass
niggas in here.
Three 6, UGK, nigga, we puttin' it down in this motherfucker.
Paul: And we ain't playing with you! Y'all know the motherfuckin' score, hoe.
Bun: Now pour it up, nigga.
Sippin' on some sizurp (bitch)
sip, sippin' on some, sip (Repeat 8x)
[Pimp C Intro]
Pimp C, bitch
Smoke somethin', nigga
[Verse 1: Pimp C]
I'm trill, working the wheel
A pimp not a simp
Keep the dope fiends higher than the Goodyear Blimp
We eat so many shrimp
I got iodine poisoning
Fuck niggas make me sick with all the pinchin and bargaining
You say that you a boss; I ain't believing that shit
You got the funny Geneva watch, with the Ferrari kit
Take that monkey shit off, you embarrassing us
I got the red Promethazine, pink, orange, and yellow tuss
Hydrocodone, on a hands-free phone
The '84 brougham, on them blades, 20-inch chrome
If you got 16, you can get a fizurth
I'm choking on that doja sweet and sipping on that sizurp
[DJ Paul]
Some niggas scared to flaunt it
Some niggas they want it want it
Some niggas they jonin jonin
but I be fucked up up on it
Well we're the Mafia 6, and we ain't bout that bullshit
If we gon' get high we gon' get high, and we gon' house a bitch
Two niggas all at the mouth, two niggas all at the ass
And plus that syrup have a nigga dick hard all night and she cool with that
She popped her a pill of X, and drank on some orange juice
And just when you thought she was freaky, she done got super loose
Niggas come in by threes and deuce, all in circles like duck-duck-goose
All that want it, can flaunt it, she on that X and the tootie fruit
40 dollars for just one ounce
Tussionex is how its pronounced
Niggas sipping and dipping and tripping, man I'm bout all out
[Juicy J]
People always asking me, "Is the Three 6 high on that?"
Rolling on them X pills, stirrin p-p-powder packs
Wh-wh-where the weed at? ain't like that we need that
Nyquil to slow me down, something that keep me easy
Nothing like that yella yella that'll have you itchin man
Talking like "What's up, fool?" Vocal chords sounding lame
In my days all we did was chief out on the quarter pound
Gone on coke, eyes are buck, this the shit'll knock you down
Knock you out, make you fall asleep when you're on them wheels
Ain't no doubt, hit me when I beep, for this re-fill
Once again, on my weekly high, gotta have that drank
Yeah my nigga, Gino, I feel like I'm gonna fucking faint
[Bun B]
Say nigga, tell me what you know bout Frank Nito or Young Guido
Pual and Vito, we play a tune that's sweeter than pedito
With my Three 6 niggas pourin' up in my southern creedo
Quick fast, we'll put it on your ass like John Vito
Cause you fronting rap singers, be creamy like a Zinger
You ain't from the major boy, but you gets the middle finger
Humdinger, Rum dranker
occasionally take your bitch to the telly and be a dick and cum slanger
When Big Bun come danger, nigga ring your alarm
Sexy thang on my arm
Cup of drank in my palm
And that crazy shit, I'm tripping on some
skinny bitches, some that's wholesome
Florida to Folsom
For the most I'm steady sippin' on some

lol@rock you are an idiot, you replied to a female one, and two you're doing the bitching and moaning because you're talking about something totally different than what amber had said. her point lies in the last sentence, and if you weren't an ignorant stupid nigger you would have seen that
your a little cunt lol | Reviewer: rock | 9/13/08

this song... | Reviewer: Amber | 12/28/07
this song is really great. i love the music a lot. but when it comes to the lyrics and how it comes off to losers that actually take lyrics seriously, then we have a lot of trouble. i feel sorry for anyone that actually thinks that all girls are like that: taking a whole lotta dick. it's true that there are chicks out there that do this shit, but they dirty hoes and you know it. now there are the rare few that would do something like this because they are into the group sex thing and they aren't hoes because they are devoted to one person and they have group sex together, but any dude that is in high school and has high expectations of what his "bitch" should be is fuckin setting himself up for failure. honestly, this song is really great and don't get me wrong, i really don't care what the song says to me because i am not someone easily influenced by lyrics, but anyone who is, i am talking to them when i write this: i feel sorry for anyone taking lyrics seriously to the ass and believing that they can get as much supposed ass as a rapper can.
