Boo is a racist word. According to my ex who lived in Arizona as a kid, and she couldn't tell this story without laughing about it, someone at the neighborhood pool saw a black kid getting in and screamed "there's a boo in the pool!" in abject terror.

I guess it's a shortening of 'jig-a-boo' or related to the word 'spook' but it such old timey racism it's flipped around to being kind of funny and just an indictment of the person saying it.

So every year those kids running around my neighborhood in white sheets screaming "boo" are actually midget Klansmen?

They're cows.

By application of regular verb-generative patterns to Latin bos, bovis (“cow”), yielding the sense of "bellow in the manner of a cow".

I think he can hear you, Ray.
There was a image here about the squirrel being killed by a cop. Is there anyway of knowing where that image originated from? I tweeted a picture of it to my friends and it's spread around quite a bit so I wanted to give credit to wherever it originated from.

You know why that K-9 is grinning? He's only 4, been on the police force for only a year and a half, and he's going to fully retire to live with his handler. Talk about a gravy train, he's probably one smart motherfucker and planned it out.

At first I misread "back" as "black" and the thought of the GOP running "Black Palin" and "Black Romney" as presidential candidates is hilarious.

Oh gently caress me, I thought this was the joke. Didn't even realize the math was bad. I am the target audience of Fox News.
