Some of them are becoming a major irritant.

I think it's about time for another purge.

What say you?

He played Prince's tortured, physically abusive, alcoholic father who survives blowing off half his head.

In Sugar Hill he was AR Skuggs, father of Roemello and Raynathan and heroin addict. Shot up by a mob boss some 30 years before the rest of his life was spent getting high and talking about the good old days.

In Tales from the Hood he was a demon. But c'mon, that was a crack-soaked demon if there ever was one. Demons are already from Hell, so heat wouldn't make them sweat like they... well, like they'd just got done sucking on a crackpipe.

Even in the General's Daughter he was cracked out. By the end of the movie, Colonel George Fowler is a sweaty, crack-fiending mess.

Most recently I saw him in an episode of Memphis Beat, the new vehicle with Jason Lee in it as the lead detective. The sound was down and I wasn't really watching, but as soon as I saw him I locked in. CWIII was a sweaty, bleary-eyed mess who looked in desperate need of having a conversation with the business end of a crack pipe.

I'm not offended because he's black, I'm offended because the guy is a great actor, but he keeps getting locked into these roles. But then again, you don't see too many 70-somethings getting work. Maybe he cleaned a director's windshield or something. ]]> Off-Topic Discussion GeraldRice http://www.repairmanjack.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12087 What are ghosts and angles? http://www.repairmanjack.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12081&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 09:25:55 GMT Ghost is the spirit or soul of a dead person which is believed to be able to manifest itself to the living.

While angels are messenger and spirits without bodies, who possess superior intelligence, gigantic strength, and surpassing holiness.

Anyway... we were blown out in the fourth quarter. Until then it was a fairly close game. The private school team probably got bawled out for playing so bad against such a lowly game and played the second half to prove the coaches right. Fun stuff.

Tomorrow I go see championship caliber teams go at it. But Fridays--that's for my old alma mater's slaughter. Yah!

P.S. As I get older, I run into fewer and fewer friends from my high school days. :( Announcers announced the 30 year reunion of the graduating class ten years before mine. I asked my friend, what happened to our forty year reunion? He answered, Not enough of us left to make it profitable.

There are links to the newspaper reports.)

Dear humorously named people of America: Thank you for committing crimes. Mirinda Boob—wife of the late Samuel Boob—is thought to have conspired to murder her husband. Luckily for headline writers, one of the conspirators' names was Kermit Butts.

Police believe that Mirinda Boob was having an affair with Butts' friend, who sought Butts' help killing Boob, which police say he provided. The central Pennsylvania judge ordered Butts and Boob be gagged due to the sensitive nature of the case.
