We're in Chicago having fun at my cousins house. Going downtown soon. See ya, suckas.

Judge says nizzle-shizzling not an offence
Thu Jun 5,10:06 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - A judge has ruled that the lyrics of a rap record urging the listener to "shizzle my nizzle" and referring to a "mish mish man" did not constitute an offence.

Presiding in the case of UK rap artist Andrew Alcee against the Heartless Crew, High Court Judge Lewison ruled that not only were the lyrics not necessarily offensive but that they may as well have been in a foreign language.

Alcee is claiming that a remix by Heartless Crew of the Ant'ill Mob's 2001 garage hit "Burnin" constituted "derogatory treatment" of his copyright because the lyrics contained references to violence and drugs.

"This led to the faintly surreal experience of three gentlemen in horsehair wigs examining the meaning of such phrases as "mish mish man" and "shizzle my nizzle", the judge said.

Dismissing the claim, he added that despite extensive surfing of the Internet in search of illumination, he had been unable to establish whether the words complained of in the rap were actually references to violence and drugs.

"Some definitions carried sexual connotations. The most popular definitions were definitions of the phrase "fo' shizzle my nizzle" and indicated that it meant "for sure". There were no entries for "mish mish man," he said.

I always thought that was an inside change-up. You were the only guy that threw a change-up with a wiffle ball Joe.

I hopefully will not see any of you in Chicago this weekend. I'll be spending most of the time in Wicker Park, so stay away.

There are actually five different mobile phone standards in use
in the U.S.

AMPS
TDMA
CDMA
iDEN
GSM

Further complicating things, there is 800Mhz and 1900 Mhz for CDMA,
TDMA, and GSM. Most CDMA phones will work on 800 MHz & 1900 Mhz CDMA,
plus 800 Mhz AMPS. Most TDMA phones will work on 800 Mhz & 1900 Mhz
TDMA plus 800 Mhz AMPS. There is no such thing as a CDMA+TDMA phone.
Most GSM phones will work ONLY on 1900 Mhz GSM, though there are
beginning to be some 800 Mhz+1900 Mhz models available, as well as
some world phones that add 900Mhz and 1800 Mhz. As I stated before,
there are a couple of GSM+TDMA+AMPS phones, but these are hard to
find and are not sold in all areas. They were developed to ease the
transition from TDMA to GSM by Cingular (AT&T Wireless has chosen
not to offer these phones even though they are making the same
transition).

Mike, I'll see you tomorrow at 11:00. Matt, we'll see you at New City YMCA at 5:30. Bob, we'll see you in our dreams.

I have no problem with cheating in baseball. I think it makes the game better. As far as Sammy's excuse goes - nobody's buying it. I don't know why major leaguers have such a hard time telling the difference between their corked bats and their legal ones. If I was an honest ball player I'd have "corked bat" written on it so my dumb latino ass would know the difference.

The biggest redneck in baseball is a tie between Woody Williams and J.D. Drew. They're also two of the hottest players in baseball. I don't know why you republicans have such a problem with good old boys these days. The biggest cracker ass in politics is sitting in the oval office.

Does comparing Patterson to Edmunds deserve a response? Yes.

I've urintated on Wrigley Field many times before. There was no malice in it, only relief.

Ikkyu, the Zen master, was very clever even as a boy. His teacher had a precious teacup, a rare antique. Ikkyu happened to break this cup and was greatly perplexed. Hearing the footsteps of his teacher, he held the pieces of the cup behind him. When the master appeared, Ikkyu asked: "Why do people have to die?"

"This is natural," explained the older man. "Everything has to die and has just so long to live."

Ikkyu, producing the shattered cup, added: "It was time for your cup to die."

When a girl has her period it only lasts a few days. What is your hang-up on impermanence? You are here now, and you will be here in the next minute (if all goes well). Get a grip on your existentialist malaise, fool.

We need a camera for our trip. I want a picture of me outside of Wrigley field urinating.

(Note to cub fans: I'm joking. I like the cubs. Direct your rage somewhere else.)

My new t-shirt reads: I survived the lay-offs at UIS!

Matt, why don't you get one of those pay per usage phones? You will be able to have one for your trip that way.

It's yet another possession though, it is your choice. I gained a new possession today. A digital camera. This is the model http://home.fujifilm.com/products/digital/digitalcamera/fx2800z/index.html#
I will never be able to capture the true beauty and ugliness of this world with it. :(

An astrisk and period are as temporary as everything else. There is no permanence.

An asterisk is forever, but a period is a girls best friend.

Me no cell phone la tengo.

"Tainted Wins" Sosa strikes (out) again.

An asterisk is forever.

Life is temporary. Why concern yourselves with these things?

I think they should put an asterisk by Sammy's homerun stats. Where the hell is tayter salad when you need a chump cub fan to harrass?

Say it aint so SammySo.

I'm looking forward to seeing all those bands play meself. Let us meet at the "will call" ticket box at 5:30. I assume that is at the same location as the show, correct?

You guys don't have differing opinions; you haven't really even defined your arguments.

Matt, how are we going to get the tickets to Friday's show? Last time we talked you told me that you would meet us at the show.

Matt B, although we have differing opinions on what is wrong with it, we both agree that it is wrong. Let us not fight each other.

I will be leaving at 3:30 to go up north on Friday. I will not be seeing any of you there.

Mike, do you mind if we leave your house around 11 or 12 on Friday for Chi-town?

You are the man with the plan, Ear Of Corn. Good thinking!

Matt B. Don't change your posts after a response. It's not very nice.

Matt K. You need to try the world of direct marketing. Get your nutjob ideas out to your specific demographic. This scattered shot shit isn't going to work. Get with the times Menonite.

Because I talk nonsense like the previous post, I will be forever relegated to the Internet. There is no room on television for loony voices like mine. Except on C-Span. Those caller are insane! And you don't hear them anywhere else on TV! I heard David Icke mentioned twice from different callers. Now if you don't know, David Icke is the premiere loony-bin conspiracy crackpot in the world.

Exactly. One has to apply his idealistic values to his own life experiences, not at a general institution or group, or you'll end up an abortion clinic bombing fanatic like that poor schmoe Rudolph that they just caught dumpster diving.

I support gun ownership rights, but I would like to get across to these Christian Patriot Militia types that you cannot shoot Television airwaves. The media is the enemy here, the very form itself, not the government or the military. But TV and radio cannot be uninvented so we have to deal with it right now as it is.

Interesting concept, possible solution: TV and radio programs not driven by advertising. That would really dissolve the distracting dialectic between the two factions of the Republicratic Conservaliberalicans.

Matt, that's not my point entirely. If you want to get into the race issue only white people were pulled over first, second, I believe in not making assumptions on anyone regarding race. I've got a hip-hop label for christ-diddly-sakes and I'm white. I feel very strongly on rights dictated by the amendments to the constitution regardless if some psyco decides to blow shit up and shoot other people,or speak about whatever they feel as loudly as they want. Do what you want as long as it doesn't hurt other people. My point is that there has to be a stand somewhere. Don't let beaurocrats push you around. If you feel strongly about something and your in a position to do it, don't sit idley around, do what you can to change it. I'm not giving up that easily. I can only be pushed so far!
