Err.. what does he not like a "post-peak" world? and is just refusing to believe that he won't have his bling? (He'll have his bling if he doesn't trade it or sell it - hell it might be go up in price, but I don't know anyting about that, lots of people might be willing to sell jewelry for food and gas in the future. Remember, you can't eat gold or paper.) The facts are there, and soon it will hit everyone square in the face - expect Bush to make a speech like no other soon (especially in June..

)

Also, I'm not personally familiar with that whole "bling bling" thing, but it's got rampant consumerism written all over it. And that might just end soon enough. Good Luck - I doubt you'll get him to change his ways at first - you have to use ridicule. Rappers do look ridiculous with all the bling (that is, if all the pretty ladies disappear.)

Again, Good Luck.

"Pimping my ride" results in strange possibilities when it has 4 legs not 4 wheels.

WTF is "Bling"?

by **brentmeister** » Wed 06 Apr 2005, 19:07:22

Altough to keep it clean here, maybe all that MTV ass-fixation will turn into genuine ass-fixation, complete with big ears. Breed em specifically to have lowered legs, teach em to do that bouncy-up-&-down thing, put those flouro wanker-lights on it's undercarriage, (solar-LEDs,) and maybe brand "powered by v-tec" or various other Japanese go-fast slogans on the ass's ass.

Oh, and make his exhaust hole the size of a coffee can.

They're already way ahead of us... although I reckon there's room for some more bling on that harness. How about a diamond encrusted diaper? (Yep, they have diaper's for horses :roll:

)

Bling is diamonds, jewellery, pimped out cars and anything else pertaining to overzealous spending by rappers.

This forum is very educational. 'Bling' is even in the Oxford English Dictionary now. A word 'coined' (pun intended) by New Orleans rappers Cash Money.

Thanks for the topic 'Jones, I haven't had such a good laugh in a long time. The thought of over sizing the exhaust pipe of an Ass still gives me the giggles (be sure to stand beside your vehicle while attaching the new pipe, and never stand directly behind it)

but on a serious note (if there can be one in this topic). I think a lot of people will be truly disgusted by such things from the pre-peak consumer extravegence so fashions will probably focus on "Back to your roots" type stuff (ie long live the hippie era).

So in keeping with the Black origins of Bling, perhaps fashions from tribal africa may become vogue (such as face painting, tatoos, wooden beads, etc..).

There's one tribe that attaches a bamboo rod to their penis. I'm sure that will always be good to make an impression :shock:

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Man, that gray one is what, 2 inches from the ground? Not good for speed bumps.

That lowered explorer wouldn't even make it up my driveway w/o ripping out the transmission. Lo-pros suck! If I'm going to spend $350 per tire, they would be G60s, (although I do admit that would look rather stupid on a 1981 Oldmobile Delta 88 Coupe.
