Need a Hand?
Your Next Project Starts with Brownstoner
Slopey, I can’t help you with the iPhone, but I find, more often than not lately, unfortunately, that it often takes anywhere from 20 minutes to 25 hours for my BlackBerry email to update, which defeats the purpose.
“Hey, D, you were on VACATION?” “Where’s your TAN?”
I don’t tan. I get melonoma. And I am genetically programmed to winkle like a crumpled paper bag, which I didn’t want to happen so I decided not to try to look like I wasn’t a white person. I don’t sun bathe. I am white. My ancestors come from Northern Europe from a country where it rains a lot and people have white translucent skin with freckles to absorb as much Vitamin D from the sun as possible. When they go crazy with sun, they get wrinkled, melonomaed, carcinomaed, etc. I am happy to be white, fine with it. I don’t want to be black, brown, tan, or anything but white. White. White. White.
You’re foregiven, ishtar.
I remember driving around jamaica as a kid in a crappy little rented car. My dad always insisted on going WAAAAY off the beaten path. so we’re on these tiny little mountain roads. And people kept screaming at us calling us whitey and telling us to GTFOOH. Not in a joking way either. It was tense.
If you’re white and you get a lot of sun, you will most likely develop some form of skin cancer at a later age. It may all be benign but then again it may not.
Wait, *rob*. Good point. Only thing is that everyone here is pale because we’re trapped in office towers slaving away or stuck in the sweltering subway. And Whitey’s would have food trucks all over the city peddling their creamy deliciousness.
If I opened an ice cream business in Jamaica, I’d probably give it a different name.
“I like that small dot of red in the middle of Crown Heights North. LOL
That’s bxgrl!!!!!!!!!”
LMAO, dave!
And, LMAO, *rob*, to you re-write!
Note that the maps were done with 2000 census data. It will be interesting to see how much 2010 census data changes the maps.
That is really the name of the ice cream place. Really. To this day it’s still some of the best I’ve had. They must have cows in the back of their stores.

And those people needed sun! I’m used to tanned white people who hang on beaches, not look like vampires. Sorry.
