My Milkshake is the Best in the Yard!!!

Can someone tell me what the HELL that means???

My Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard and they're like, it's better than yours. Damn right, its better than yours. I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.

I tried to look it up on the web...I went to the Urban Dictionary to look it up and they did not know either. There were many definitions that ranged from sexual to non sexual. It was pretty damned funny what people thought that meant. So if noone knows, apparently not even the young urban crowd, how will the old fogies like me figure it out to keep my connection with dirty Fila? Here are a few of them...the list continues.

Milkshake:

• A drink consisting of milk and
  
  Icecream
• A woman's body and the way she carries
  
  it.
• Milkshake is just that thing that makes a woman
  
  stand out from everyone else. It's a thing that makes you sensual and warm and
  
  maternal. It could be about breasts but I don't have huge t*** so you gotta work
  
  with what you got."
• a girl's milkshake.. is "the way she carries her
  
  shit".. her walk, her ass, her body, whatever makes her hott.... her
  
  "stuff
• its a blowjob and the girl swirls the man's
  
  "milk" around in her mouth. henceforth... milkshake.
• Semen and other flavorings mixed into a fuid
  
  which someone can drink.
• when a girl eats too many brownies and then she
  
  jumps up and down 4 times and feels them in her belly
• Breasts - which produce MILK during pregnancy
  
  and early motherhood - bounce and "SHAKE", paricularly when the woman is
  
  dancing. Thus the term "Milkshake."

I bring this whole language thing up because my daughter- dirty Fila- says things to me that I really have to think about and decipher. She gets it from school and her friends on line. She speaks some urban speak that I am protesting violently at home. (If you want to speak another language, lets break out the Total Immerson Language Course CD's that I have in 10+ major languages of the world. Spanish, French, German, Chinese.....that list goes on. I have another language for her ALRIGHT!!)



dirty Fila has mentioned the following things to friend that I have overheard or to me and I was baffled: pimp juice, crunk?, milkshake, break him off and others. She does have a few popular hiphop CD's...maybe 4 or so not bought by me, but given to her by my brother. Missy Elliott, Nellie, Sean Paul, Emeniem. I have listened to those cd's first to see if the language was okay. The edited tapes with no cursing are available at Walmart. The cursing was eliminated but the general content on some was just bad. Hiphop is everywhere and totally dominating the music world of the young.



I remember that there was a serious generation gap between my mother and I and it was due to music. She would not listen to DEVO and she did not undertstand me dancing around with a red Devo flowerpot on my head. I vowed to not repeat that with dirty Fila, so I listen to her music to see what it is all about and telling her. (Got to counteract the bad and show her a better choice or better selection. )



The other thing she does is speak internet talk...you know...instant message talk. She does not laugh anymore at things..she just says LOL! And if there is something she disagrees with , with me, she will hold up her hand in that old "speak to the hand cause the ears are not listening" gesture and says "W. E." That means "whatever" I have come to learn. Some of her other favorites are BRB and G2G. She speaks in initials.



What is the world coming to? Hiphop and computers are taking over the language centers of our youth. I am resisiting it. Resisting it with every bit of pimp juice (whatever the hell that is) and evey gigabyte that I have in me!

What I do is kick them in the pants with a diamond buckled shoe!

Homes of the Future: Shipping Containers

Few people can say their home has sailed around the world, but that soon could be the case in North Charleston.



The state's third-largest city, home to more shipping containers than residents care to talk about, is experimenting with the idea of turning the unsightly metal boxes into low-income, affordable houses.



One project, on the city's economically depressed south side, already is under way, with the foundation recently poured.



"Once we get through with it, you would never know it is a container home," said city Building Director Darbis Briggman, who toured the site Friday. "We can even make them two stories."



City leaders hope the pilot project at 2733 East Surrey Drive off Dorchester Road will be the first of dozens of homes. If the project is successful, Mayor Keith Summey said he will urge City Council to sell $1 million in bonds, possibly as early as next year, to build about 20 more homes. He said the idea could be expanded to create small apartments and senior housing complexes."People will be shocked by what these containers can be turned into," Summey said. "You can recycle a blighted item."



The project on East Surrey Drive, which city leaders said could be the first in the state, calls for using four shipping containers attached side by side to create a 1,280-square-foot, single-family home, complete with three bedrooms. The one-story steel frame, which will be treated to prevent rust, will be framed with wood and drywall. A pitched roof will be built on top. When finished, Briggman said, the house will meet all building and energy codes mandated for new construction.



David Cross of Tampa Armature Works Inc., which is spearheading the project, said used shipping containers range in price from about $800 to $4,200. The four used in this project, he said, were bought locally. All told, the project is budgeted to cost about $71,000, or about $55 a square foot. That compares to about $75 a square foot, city officials said, for new construction in similar south side neighborhoods.



"Fundamentally this is a fantastic structure," said Cross, who has modeled it after similar structures used in the military. "I know this will be here in 100 years."



Containers, often stacked five and six high, are an iconic image around the southern end of the city. Many of the boxes are in unincorporated Charleston County where city regulators are powerless to have them removed. The towering stacks of containers are there because low steel prices in the past meant it often was cheaper for shipping companies to buy new ones than to pay storage fees for older ones, leading to an excessive amount of containers stuck on shore.



Councilwoman Phoebe Miller, who has been an advocate for cleaning up the city, said the pilot project could be a way to help eliminate containers. She was unsure, though, whether the city should build as many houses as it would take to do away with all of the big boxes.



"How are we going to use millions of containers?" Miller asked. "I am baffled to think that we could do something with all of them."

Airline with a Twist!

Ecstasky Airlines







I came across a blurb on Ecstasy airlines and was a bit surprised. Not that it existed but what services they offer.



They say: Ecstasky is the world's first airline offering exotic entertainment by beautiful air hostesses, who pamper you so you can have the flight of your life. Ecstasky is an extraordinary airline offering a unique and decadent flying experience. We offer several amenities to make your flight incredible, including exotic entertainment by our beautiful Ecstasky Entertainers.



What does that mean? Really? Are they offering sex for money? Just certain sex acts like "happy endings" or "bj's"? Or everything? Is this really some form of prostitution for our skyways just prettied up to look like something else?



Their ad says their goal is to indulge travelers fantasies so that they have the flight of their life. Cavier, champagne, massages, exotic shows and other fine delicacies are offered. What are the other fine delicacies? The operating clause that promises discretion and discreet billing may hint at that.



The poor wives! Without a private detective, a wife may never discover that credit charge.



Who is policing their airways? We have vice squads on the ground. We see police on tv shows and in our local towns pretending to be prostitutes to bust paying customers. We see officers pretending to be customers to bust prostitutes? Who is in the sky doing that job? Where are the vice police for planes? Who is making sure that those airplanes are not flying whorehouses for the extremely wealthy or famous?



Flying high does not always mean flying RIGHT!

Lazy Sunday

Today, all day I was a pair of black flip flops. The ones I mentioned before that I just got from Target. I wore them with one of the new outfits I got form my parents for my birthday. Nana shoes gave me 3 pairs of capri pants and matching shirts. I have capris of my own that I wear all the time. Nana shoes explained that she did not like my capris as the color was wrong--light blue. It looked too faded for her. She forbid me to wear the light blues anymore and suggested I use them for gardening. The nerve! My pants are perfectly good pants. This is from someone who I remember used to wear hippie headbands in the 60's. She reminded me of the mom on Dharma and Greg...all peace and love.

dirty Fila and I ate a late brunch and rushed off to see I Robot. It was pretty good. dirty Fila thought it was very good. I did not force her to stay till the last credit stopped rolling. This was not a Disney movie with outtakes and hints of sequels at the end.



After the movie the possessed shoes took over and and marched me right into Starbucks for a java chip frappucino. The Starbucks demon won again today. It even made me have a cookie.

(Damn dunlap disease!). dirty Fila had a kid slushie and a cookie. What next? Shopping of course--- for wallpaper. (I bet you thought I was going to say shoes....(psych! Not this time.) I found 2 pretty samples to consider doing my room over in.



After looking for wallpaper we went to Wally World to price televison sets. I found a 27 inch flatscreen that of course they did not have in stock; but, promised to get in on a truck this week. I told the clerk I would return for that later this week.
