The Official Opinion of My Cousin Ray-Ray |
|
I actually have a cousin Ray-Ray, in SC no less. He's an engineering student and one of the smartest people I know. I called him up a little while ago for his opinion on the latest controversy.
His exact words: "This shit is bananas. Tell them they need to go outside."

6. We actually don't have a Pookie |

We do have a Money, several Sisters, and a whole bunch of Juniors (one Junior is serving in Iraq).

5. I just came back from time traveling. What's the "latest controversy"? |
|
Inquiring minds (and over-heated 'Way-Back Machines') want to know...

9. Apparently Obama is racist |
|
Because he told voters to bring their Cousin Ray-Rays and Pookie to the polls.
I'm hardly an Obama fan (to put it mildly) but, like my cuz said, this shit is bananas. Folks down south have funny nicknames, regardless of race. It's just a fact of life. :shrug:

Just saying it's more widespread there than other areas. :D
(FWIW, I think folks down south have the best crazy nicknames)

Think Ray-Ray is interesting? When I lived in Louisiana there was a Bubba and a Sixty in the state senate. For a kid from New Hampshire, that was an eye opener.

8. My 3 yr old daughters best friend is "Ray-Ray"... |
|
Nick-name is short for Rayanna. Beautiful, Intelligent little girl. Her birthday is tomorrow, and we're taking her a gift this afternoon.... i'll be sure to see if they feel any injustice has been done.

10. well I can see why none of the other 50 |
|
threads on the topic were suitable for this.
I have NEVER used Ignore in all my time here. But today, anybody who starts a stupid fucking Pookie and Ray-Ray thread goes on the list.

over a year ago at the beginning of the campaign.
I think the faux outrage is hilarious, nonetheless. Cheap entertainment. :7

19. Advice "to go outside" is always appropriate - |
|
There's always something about ambling around the world with only the sky above that's good for a person. The outdoors has natural mellowing agents.

25. Chovexani, I too have a cousin Ray-Ray |
|
He'd be surprised to hear some consider it a racist nickname. He's a white French Canadian. He's been Ray-Ray as long as I can remember. I'll have to ask him how he feels. I think your Ray-Ray said it best when he stated people need to go outside more. hehe. By the way, my husband calls me pookie. I had no idea it was a southern thing. We are as Canadian as can be.
