I really have no idea what either of you are talking about.
Is a rice burner a car?

I feel like Dani.

CarrieMpls said:

OMG, a rice burner is basically a honda or toyata--early 90's model or late 80's model.

And totallly totally pimped/tricked out. Big ass rims, blinking lights, neon lights underneath, a stereo that could be used in a concert (reason #1 to avoid living near folks with them). Basically take the original value of the car, and quadroople it with after factory modifications, and you got a rice burner. Kind of like Amy Lapore, or Micheal Jackson (unless of course he's really telling the truth.).

Our ridiculously small town had ONE asian guy with a Honda. The rest of the car club members were Hispanic, or whites who wanted to be Hispanic. The two main teams, "Revelation" (token Asian guy was the leader, the rest were Mexican) and "Kurupt Sports" (all-white), were constantly chasing each other in retarded caravans up and down the main drag. That was as close as we got to gangs / racial violence in Cloverdale CA.

I had a neighbor with a lime green Civic with a huge hood decal that said "DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT". Someone fucking stole it. YES.

Oh lawd, that is the funniest shit I've ever heard

Imago said:

$2k Honda with over $10k in mods. Fast & the Furious rejects.

CarrieMpls said:

They should seriously mark it down to at least half the price because of all these delays. It's getting ridiculous.

I guess I should answer the original question too by the way:

I'll be hunting for a new apartment or possibly even a very small house some time in January next year, and this time around my requirements are mostly going to be about the surroundings rather than the place itself. I want a calm, quiet neighbourhood with trees outside, and no building across the street so they can look in through my windows. I would also want it to be close to the public transit system and have a good supermarket at walking distance.

The only requirements I have for the actual apartment is that it should be clean and preferably have big windows.

Can any thread just stay on fucking topic?

Ever?

Imago said:

WOW.




If that kind of thing goes on in Minnesota I am thankfully utterly unaware of it.

CarrieMpls said:

scary, I know.

INSATIABLE said:

OMG, the rice burner angle of this thread is sooooo totally relevant, and could ruin or save Carrie's new living experince.

I don't see her having rice burner parking parties, drinking old english or maddog 20/20 any time soon



We Asians--he have a hardcore street legacy damnit!

I agree about the old apt thing, I used to be stuck on that until I realized how much easier life is when I don't have to worry about gas leaks, doing dishes by hand, thin windows & steam heat! FUCK that old apt shit - yea, they're cute & have character but you can take a new place & GIVE it character.

I tend to steer clear of places w/ pools - the circular structure is like a noise tunnel

Brick, schmick - get some new shit, girl!

CalhounSq said:

Yes!

A new Apartment is like Rick James and Tina Marrie before prison. An old apartment is like them after prison.

Imago said:

Tina never went to jail! I don't think

CalhounSq said:

Well, for that last performance she did with Rick James, she should have!

Imago said:

COLD! I put more of the blame on Rick, he was the one slapping his velvet ass & ripping his shirt open

RIP

CalhounSq said:

oh lawd, here I go again, x 1,000,000

I have a rental that will be available the end of Sept.
2 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, 2 screened porches, garage and attic...sounds great huh?


Oh.....



the downside...



It is probably 45 mins away from Imago.

No worries for me since he ignores me but for you Carrie...that would be within stalking distance for sure.

don't get one up the street from a retirement home, because ambulances will come by almost every day.

Imago said:

Didn't you have a Rick James little stank graphic....

Rhondab said:

oh god yes


not one of my better efforts though.

They'd have to reduce my rent and pay my restraining order fees, but I'd consider it!

i never lived anywhere cool

instead i lived in buildings that smelled like old libraries
or ones where someone would knock at my bedroom window after i went to bed...
i always thought it was someone looking for drugs
but then someone was caught exposing himself outside
so i was really really happy i never opened the curtains to see who was there
