Fortunately, I am not the original author of this comment. To say you've never heard this moniker used in any context would be a complete lie on your end. It wasn't an ignorant comment if you apply it to the context as to how it was used and from where I stand, it was an appropriate comment to use with the name JR Smith.
Mississippi sucks. straight up.
Though to be fair, I haven't gone into the northern part of the state, only the coastal parts.
The Biloxi/Gulfport area is ok if you like casinos, or fishing.
Anything other than that, you're driving to New Orleans or Mobile.

There's not much in the northern part. The fun stops at oxford.
Like I said, if you love fishing and gambling, you'll like Biloxi. I'm not a huge fan of either.
The Canter's in Vegas is not at all comparable to the one in L.A., but to each his own. When in Vegas, try the Philly Cheesesteak from Capriotti's...
King Taco's red salsa is great, and their carnitas, carne asada, and cabeza are outstanding. Sadly, their al pastor is crap compared to what you get from the street vendors in Mexico though (as is all other al pastor I have ever had in the US). My favorite East LA place is El Tepeyac though; their guacamole and red enchilada sauce are maybe the best I have ever had, and the Hollenbeck machaca is an outstanding burrito.If your ever in the east part of L.A. I recommend some King Taco. Much better than anything your going to find at a Taco-Bell or Del Taco.
Someone in here posted some pics from Pinks! MAN, I MISS MY PINKS!!
The food quality sucks? Or you don't have that enormous menu like the original?
The menu isn't the same, yes. The food wasn't that far from the original, but it wasn't the same. It could've been the day in which I went, but then again why go to Vegas when the original is in my area?
Stop it Bum! All I've got here is this lousy Taco Cabana stuff. Not bad if your really hungry but this Tex-mex crap doesn't come close to anything back home. There are some local dives around here in S.A. in the southside and west side owned by nationals that put out REAL Mexican food. The perpetual argument here with my local San Antonio-native friends is that Tex Mex is it's own cuisine and leave it at that. Don't dishonor REAL Mexican food by calling Taco-Cabana, Las Palapas or any of these other joints REAL. It's insane.
Taco Cabana is one of the best fast food places I have found in this nation. It ain't King Taco, but it beats the out of Del Taco. Taco Cabana makes great chicken fajitas. Las Palapas makes great breakfast tacos too - carne guisada, chilaquiles, and barbacoa are my favorites. Texas barbacoa is seasoned differently or something from Cali cabeza, and I prefer the Texas stlye. As for Texas guisada (brown) vs Cali guisada (red) on enchiladas, I like both. Cali definitely puts Texas to shame on pork and seafood, but the situation is reversed on beef. Cali/NW Mexico tacos are too ing small too.
Much better than living in a city where the most interesting thing to do is jack off all over yourself, go to the Mall of America, or eat yellow snow.
I just watched Soul Men.
Cool movie.
The guy who gets beaten up by Samuel Jackson reminded me of J.R
I really find it funny when people say "LA is a horrible city". I just laugh about it.
I went to LA this summer. Not to shabby. I just don't know why they're going to spend billions of dollars on and underground subway.

LOL. Median home price is about $360k in LA county, and if the person has decent credit (>=700), makes a decent down payment (maybe $20G), doesn't get suckered into an ARM, then the household is looking at spending less than $25G a year on that $340G 30-year mortgage even if he doesn't shop around and ends up paying 6% interest. A lot of money, but LMAO at the idea you have to pull $160G a year to pay $25G.

Usable public transit is a core element of a city not being a complete hole.I went to LA this summer. Not to shabby. I just don't know why they're going to spend billions of dollars on and underground subway.
someone please start a caption thread. this is to easy. example.."did you on yourself dawg?"Reminder of what all_heart was referring to..
Damn, $400K for houses, those were the days. I live in a mining town when im not at uni, and the average 3 bedroom 1 bathroom house goes at around $800K - $1M. If you want one on the beach (a ty beach by the way) you have to pay upwards of $1.5M. This is all for just your basic house.
And the town is nothing but a working town - nothing really to do in terms of social activity.
Its crazy.
Property tax on a $360000 house in LA county is about $4300. That's offset and then some by the tax credit you get from the federal government, cutting about $20G off your taxable income (25% on $54G).
So you're paying $15G/yr in insurance? Now I can see why you're such a miserable .no you don't then insurance.. your 25 g is mor like 35 or 40 g wich is 34000 a month which is 40 k a year..
Um what? Double the income so he's now paying 36% fed, 9% state? I guess it is convenient so the family just misses out on that nice tax break on the home.now if the median income for the state is 75k then they can't afford that mortgage already... so double that 160 at 45 percent tax rate..
You state taxes? Why did we double the income again?Why don't you throw in a sick grandma and maybe a nasty criminal case too?you state taxes 88 k a year gross income which is about half of that hosing obligation.. now food..now cars..now add healt insurance..
Cars? How many brand new cars do you want? How about Laker season tickets too?now food..now cars..
He's pretty ed on that unless his employer is giving him something decent. Welcome to America.now add healt insurance..
My figure is pretty easy to calculate; annuities aren't exactly like solving PDEs.and that using YOUR figure..
It's like you don't even understand what a median is. Averages are skewed by outlier samples... i.e., the fact that the Hiltons live in a giant mansion in Hollywood Hills doesn't have a whole lot to do with the price a typical (i.e., median) home fetches in the valley.and MEDIAN is not an average there are more homes more expensive than that..
No a house on the far west side of town near the Pacific is far more expensive than one in the city itself. Who would have predicted that?My aunt has a ol hose in redondo OLd and its on the books for 700k..
Your insane. That's a crap hole. If you like Tex-Mex stuff, go for it. Just don't call it a Mexican food joint becuase it's far from it.
Son,
Just stay up there in your wintery tomb and play dolls in your igloo. All cities have their issues including yours. Look at you; you still live with your parents.
