“The book’s original illustrations show a Sambo character resembling a golliwog”
One of the big jam manufacturers in the UK (local to where I’m from) ran a promotion for years based around collecting ‘golly badges’ in exchange for tokens from the jars. They were also popular stuffed toys for children. Don’t think anyone thought of it as racist for a long time, but clearly can understand why they came to. After a few years of controversy, it finished only in 2001.
Stevie candidly told us on Friday that the evil Stevie would return today.
dibs,
so true, that train to the plane makes you insane in the membrane.

CGar,
…oh, behaaaave…(in a voice from Austin Powers)
Speaking of the A train, I find it absolutely ridiculous that the C train never runs on the weekends and the A train runs local.
This is supposedly the Greatest City in the World and the transportation options to the airports are non-existent.
People riding the A train for 1 1/2 hours to get to JFK is an embarrassment to the city.
cobble,
what happened to stevie? you two were getting along so swimingly last week and now there’s talk of a meltdown?
ENY,
when you lived in ENY did you get out at Euclid, Sheridan or Liberty?
Night everyone!
I don’t know what you people are complaining about, but I love being squeezed, prodded, and poked. ; )
