Love stuff like this.

Reminds me of the "How I Met Your Mother" episode where they moved to "Dowin Foseewpla" neighborhood. The realtor kept saying it was the new up and coming neighborhood.

Turns out it meant Down Wind From The Sewer plant.

then why post it? writing a clever little comment about your racist joke, doesn't make the racist joke any less racist and mean.

Lucille: I have friends living up in Harlem. They are all gainfully employed (Broadway performers: actors, singers, dancers). And they are black people.

I've only had one situation of violence in Harlem: Got in the way of a shoot-out, on my way to dinner.
We all had to duck and cover: black and white.
But, other than that: Great music and food up in Harlem. Have been back many times since then.
No trouble.

New name for FIDI; DAFO, Deserted after Five O'clock

Chelsea is now GAG- gay and gayer

The village is now STANE-Snobs in Tiny apartments, no elevators

Midtown is now CATO, cheap apartments, tourists only

I could go on . . .

I don't get why Truth's joke is racist...although if it IS, having black friends does not excuse it. (Which EVERYONE knows by now.)

Well, I need a brain, because I spent time trying to figure out what "NODAD" was an acronym for. I didn't even get it until all this talk about racism.

Astoria = VUVES Very Upper Very East Side

I was going to say Forest Hills = NOKD, but ..... oops, I did! Oh, NO!

jason: Not me, I didn't make that joke.

The "NoMa" ad is like a joke. I wonder if it's meant to be funny.
RE runs some bad advertising these days. Some of the tv ads are really bad.

Have you seen the one with "Vanessa and Stephen"? It's animation, and they're wearing ugly yuppie-like clothing from the 80's. Vanessa is trying on different pairs of eyeglasses, before she brings Stephen his glass of fine conjac.
They both are without noses.

"North Manhattan (harlem) could be NOMA or, use it's real name NODAD

"lucillebluth...if you had your own neighborhood it would be....NOBRAIN

did i misunderstand NODAD? is it not a clever witty little poke at the good people of harlem, calling all the women babymamas with illigitimate children who don't know their fathers, and calling all the men of harlem absentee babydaddies? and of course, the meat of the joke, the children of harlem who do not know or see their dads. does it not mean any of that? wow, that IS embarassing. can you clarify to little ole lucille who forgot to take her smart pills, what did your joke mean? since we now know it was in no way racist or cruel.

Lucille, falco is entitled to be racist, because he's funny. Right?

Uh, I'll take Curtain #2, Monte. It's a city in the far northwest of Alaska a few miles from Siberia.

Honestly, I can't believe that columbiacounty's racist anti-Asian (or maybe just anti-Japanese) attitude and language continues. It was bad enough that it surrounded the earthquake and tsunami, but for columbiacounty to continue his racist rantings with the continuation of this horrible crisis and the nuclear issues .... a new low for columbiacounty, a man who has been at the true depths of society.

I kind of view falcogold as a less funny, less smart, less socially appropriate version of alanhart.

mutombonyc: You know that could not have been my joke.

It's been a long cold winter so maybe jason was California dreamin' when he mixed that up.

lucillebluth: That's what it was. My Harlem friends: Some of the guys grew up without fathers in their home/life. They did O.K. for themselves. Some of my female friends are now raising kids alone. They are good kids.

If we're trying to come up with a name that means "b@astard children of trashy people" why don't we just call it "Alaska"?
