Ebonics is alive and well. True dat.

I just finished watching the Ravens-Cowboys game on the NFL Network.
Because of my affection for individuals like Ray Lewis and Terrell Owens, I would normally route for a tie but because I'm a Giants fan I was pulling for Baltimore.
Nonetheless, is it just me or did the announcing trio of Bob Papa, Marshall Faulk and Deion Sanders remind you of watching the game in a smoke-filled bar within an earshot of three guys who dropped out of junior high?
After listening to Marshall and Deion absolutely butcher the English language for three quarters, (i.e. - "He don't know what the defense be doin", "we was talking to him before" and "he don't wanna hear dat") I had to hit the mute button.

I couldn't resist

Yes, it's been awhile since my last post but when I saw this headline five words came to mind:

You gotta be shittin' me...

The article brings several questions to mind:
(1) Will this allow more people to come out of the closet?
(2) Will this lead us to bigger and better protests such as: "Day Without An Illegal Alien?"
(3) Will this eventually motivate bisexuals to take two days off?

For the record, I have nothing against the gay and lesbian community. If you want to be gay, that's your business. And I'm sorry about Proposition 8, but there has to be better ways to get your point across than "Day Without A Gay."
