so i got some blood drawn today… feels weird

I love folklore.

Apparently there is some sort of bogeyman in the Belgian Flanders region, called “De Nikker” (literally: "The Nigger).

It was said that it was a naked black man who could shapeshift into a black hound (this was in the 17th century, btw). When witnesses saw him eat a child, an angry mob hunted him down. The angry mob found a random homeless black man and, regardless of it being the cannibal man or not, lynched and skinned him. Afterwards they buried his skin in some church.

Ever since, a black ghost with deep red eyes started appearing in the region. It is said that he’s looking for his skin to become whole again. Children are told that if they stay up past their bedtime, the “Nikker” will come to them and eat them alive.

hahahaha

In America, white people don’t need ghost stories to be afraid of black people.

I laughed too hard at that. At both bolteh and ninja.

Wow, how many of those titles use the word Jedi, rebel, or both?

Recently gave The xx’s second album a listen, was pretty disappointed. It seemed like they just found a formula for a decent dark-sounding love/heartbreak song and just did that over and over again.

You could say that the first album was like that too.

well, kinda, but there was way more variation and some experimentation

the second album just sounds like they’re capitalizing on the success of the first and not much more

So it’s finally August. Somehow the first thing I remember is that it’s been 3 years since Swampfox56 was banned.

you have a good memory

has it been that long? whaaaaat, it seems like that was just last year or something

time passes way too fast :frowning:

three years ago i was getting over some girl, hadnt met my ex yet, had pretty much given up on college, i think my dad was still in the philipines

fucking shit, that’s a lifetime ago

Was selling my old camera on a second-hand website for €150 with €50 starting bid. Someone bid €60 early on, but yesterday some other guy bought it for the full €150.

I thought I’d be nice and personally mail the first bidder that someone straight out bought it. His reply was: “flikker op” (bugger off).

Yay mankind!

people can be so mean :frowning:

hahaha

I wonder if he ever came back during this whole time…

I’m pretty sure he was banned four or five times under different accounts.

OH MY WOD, I got stung by a bee :’( I had never had it happen before, it was so damn painful. I just wanted to get water from the tap and didn’t notice a bee was there (inside the thing I guess) so I opened it up to get a glass to drink and it stung my finger. Now two of my fingers look like sausages and itch so much :frowning:

You might want to go see a doctor. You are probably allergic to a degree.
