One of my signs of the apocalypse.

Last night after discussions of the possiblity of being a house boy and on my way to pick up Damon so we could hang out before he leaves town for two weeks, I passed a greasy diner quasi-Sonic's/Checkers type restaurant that had a sign out front with the following announcement:

TRY OUR NEW GHETTO FRIES

I nearly had an aneurysm and crashed the car. The use of that word will be the death of me, I swear. What the fck does that sign even mean? And why, oh why, do people use that word in such flippant privileged stupid white ways?

P.S. I was not even driving through a "ghetto".

I used the word ghetto in one of my recent posts because I was hoping to get you riled up. I like your rants. And I kinda don't think that you need some sort of authority to make them. But then again, I'm just a white girl from working class New Jersey, and I think all your opinions count for something.

But ghetto fries? what the hell?

Next time I'll just drop you from my friends list. ;)
