Ghost Face Killer has/had a white guy in his crew named "wigganomics" (which I found hilarious), but I guess that answers some of your questions.

I've seen rich white kids act like "wiggers", its just a choice as to what culture you want to associate yourself with. Just like kids decide they're going to be emo, goth, or preppy or w/e...

That style just screams idiot to me. Like, why dress like that?! If that kid came to me for a job I would look at them and go, "I would love to hire you, but the way you dress is inappropriate for my business". Maybe they would get the message.

And the language!!!! Jesus! I hear the N word around here like it's water or something. We live in a prominently white area and I swear the white kids act more inappropriate then any of the black kids.

We also live in a higher end neighbor hood and the kids drive those idiot tricked out orange mustangs, or low riding trucks or those crazy SUV's that are just waiting to cause an accident from an in-experienced driver!

If my son has droopy pants his ass goes and puts on a belt. PERIOD! You will not walk out of my house with jewelry all over your face, pants hanging off your ass and a cap turned sideways screaming, I LOOK STUPID!!

If you don't look decent coming out of my house, you aren't coming out.

(God, the mother in me is screaming something fierce and I am totally getting OLD!) Sorry for the rant.
People can dress up for jobs... Just because they like top dress a certain way doesn't mean they are too dense to dress up for a job interview. Just because I wear jeans and a t shirt 99% of the time doesn't mean I'm going to dress that way for job interviews as well...

I disagree about the job interview thing. I have personally, with my own two eyes, witnessed the person before me in a job interview, a wigger, wearing a giant t-shirt that said GET PAID on it. I mean, I guess that's what we were there for.....

"Uhhhhhh, yeayh.....it broke."

Whenever something on tv gets hit, or an accident happens, or anything falls etc. we always exclaim "yeah, it broke."
You know for a long time I didn't believe this was true. That was until I actually worked at Six Flags and Batman went down. I got paired with a new employee to talk to guests at the ride's entrance.

"I apologize for the inconvience but at this time, Batman: The Ride is down for mechanical reasons. We do not have an estimated time, but let me assure you are maintence department is working diligently to fix the problem. Feel free the enjoy one of the many other attractions we feature here at Six Flags."

"Can we still wait in line?"

"DIDN'T YOU HEAR HIM? HE SAYS WEH BROKE!"

/facepalm

Now whenever my friend and I refer to bad situation, we'll refer to our old Six Flags memories. Such as for my friend to say his car's isn't running, he has no money to fix it, and he feels like everything around him is falling apart, he could now simply say...
"Yeah It broke, I broke, $hit broke."

I wore a shirt that said El Toro on it to Great Adventure on it. I don't know if we're talking about the same thing anymore.

Since we are so off topic I have a question. Do you ever see shoes tied together and thrown over a telephone line? Why do people do this? I have been told because that is where someone died, is this true?

It could mean something about a gang, but it may also be a place where somebody was mugged.

Then Kent must be filled with drug houses/gangs. Just going down one street that has 4 frats on it, there are dozens of pairs of shoes on the wires.

It looks absolutely tacky, and makes the neighborhood look like ****.

I'm pretty sure it means drugs are sold there, or on that street.

Which makes it easy for cops. "Oh, well alright then, let's raid that house."

^University Drive...just north of Burger King. Crain Street has been known to have those shoes one the wires things too.

My operator at work, when I asked him of this phenomenon, suggested I talk to some of the "ghetto" people we work with. Wow. I'd figure that since he's black, he'd choose his words a bit carefully, but I already got into that on my blog.

I just thought it meant some kids were just d*cking around? You're meaning to tell me full grown adults who sell drugs take time out of doing drugs to steal someones kicks and toss them up on the wires? Freakin' weird.

I can recall several times in my childhood where I'd take neighborhood kids shoes, tie them together and throw them up over the telephone wires because they were jerks and deserved it.

I really doubt that the meaning is a drug dealer lives there; even if I have read that from a few sources now.
If it did mean that, and that info is out on the net, then why wouldn't cops be busting these people?
