Geography nerd here. Niger is a country as well as a river. I wouldn't have remembered that it was a river if not for your comment. But I definitely remember that it's a country.

Etymology trivia: niger (pronounced NEE-gur, close to by not quite the slur term) is the Latin word for "black."

Julius Caeser would not have recognised his name on most documentaries.
In Latin, it is pronounced something like Yulius Ky-ser (hence the German "Kaiser" for a powerful ruler).

Damn. In the UK (or at least England) you have playgroup or nursery, at about 3-4, which is sort of to get you to start socializing with large groups of little kids, then you start Primary school with Reception which is the first year of actual education as opposed to just fingerpainting or whatever, at age 4-5, then Year 1, age 5-6, Year 2 age 6-7, Year 3 age 7-8, Year 4 age 8-9, Year 5 age 9-10 and then Year 6 age 10-11.
Then you start secondary school with Year 7 and continue the cycle up to Year 11 when you take your GCSEs at age 16, then you can leave school if you want to (although I heard they're changing it?), or you can stay on for Sixth Form up to Year 13 and do A levels, or you can go to another school's Sixth Form (like I did), or you can go to a college and do A levels there, or you can go to a college and do a vocational course. Then you may or may not decide to go to university, usually at age 18 depending on whether you repeated any years or took a gap year or whatever.
And now you know lots of stuff about the British education system. Any questions?

College is "further education" and university is "higher education". You can go to college at like age 16 but you can't go to uni until you're 18. There's probably more important distinctions but I'm really hungover.

But one should not let their little ass get too crispy, nor too soft. A little ass should have a good texture, with soft, slightly spicy filling. Not too spicy a little ass, though.
Aaaaand I'm done.

Once upon a time, I believe it was right around first or second grade, our music teacher said the n-word during class. I'm not quite sure why. She was talking about... John Phillips Sousa? Apparently he wrote some music for... slaves? Maybe she was quoting from a book? I don't quite remember, but she definitely said that word. I'm not sure if I'd heard that word before but I knew there was something wrong with it and I was confused about the whole thing because the teacher was one of my favorites. I went home and I guess the issue wouldn't settle peacefully in my subconscious because later that Dad and I were reviewing for a spelling test and he asked me to spell some word and out of my mouth comes: "N... I... G... G... E... R.."

I had to set mine to about 200, strangely enough, to view another of asherdan's posts.
I think the guest strip of Phillipe getting beaten has the most lamed comment from asherdan.
So "tattie" is equal to "tough tittie", then what is equal to "soft tittie(s)"?
"seft tatties"
sift tutties
tig bitties
boobies!
I'm pretty sure "tattie" in this context is a colloquial word for potato. Thus, tough potatoes. I'd guess that it's a phrase that entered American vernacular through Irish immigants, but the R words been thrown around here too much as it is.
You should know that, i_love_kate. There are some Irish folk songs featuring tatties. Could be pronounced like taties, tho, dunno. Cause taties sounds like a word for titties.
Boil 'em. Mash 'em. Stick 'em in a stew.
Daaaaaaaaamn I have my account set to hide comments with 90 or more lames, and this is the only one I've seen blocked so far.
Ugh dude do you even realize how rare/difficult it is for a punchline(ish) to include a racial slur and somehow still be clever and non-shock-humor?
I finally created an account just to read asherdan's lamed comments.
Dang. I hope that worked out for you.
Having done the same, no, it's been a bit of a letdown. The responses are funnier without the actual source of their ire.
This is the worst comment. Typed on the ugliest keyboard.
