okay, so I have just read the entire series of editorials on the The Onion of the gangster accountant while sewing patches for our kid's program "Just Say No" quilt. It's scary, now I'm thinking in gangster-speak : "I am a mutha fuckin social worker and I WILL arrange yo life! Sheeit...muthafuckin' shorties can't make a patch to save they fool lives. They be frontin' with all this fabric paint an shit. That beeatch shoulda tol' them bout messin' wit' me - you fuck up my sewing borders and I WILL go Bruce Lee on yo ass." Which is really rather sad. You do have to wonder - who decided to boycott the letter s? Is z really that great? I wonder how the conversation got started to use letters for everything:
hypothetical gangster 1: I think we are speding way too mch time speaking, don't you? There must be SOME way to convey the same amount of information in less time!
hypothetical gangster 2: I do believe you're right. Perhaps we could use the first letter of words instead of saying the whole thing.
hypothetical gangster 1: Why, that's brilliant, B!
hypothetical gangster 2: R J Q E E!
hypothetical gangster 1: That was so much more efficient! Unfortunately, I have no idea what the F you just said.
