This man in my avatar. That's my poppa. He repeated the story for DECADES about a particular truth-telling little girl.

Art Linkletter had a show called "Kids Say the Darnedest Things." Methinks Eric3579 remembers this show. There was a segment where Art would ask kids questions, just to see what they would say.

He asked this one memorable girl -- the red light on a stoplight means stop, the green means go. What does the yellow light mean?

She leaned forward into the mike and said "Step on the gas."

My dad would tell that story and chuckle and chuckle and chuckle.

Bad Lip Reading: "CARL POPPA" - Music Video (Full Song) has been added as a related post - related requested by Lilithia.

I know my momma loves me
I know my poppa loves me
I know the camera loves me
I can tell my brother loves me
I know that Boston loves
And San Francisco loves me
I love the city back,
I just can't help it, it's so lovely

I'm in my lucky underwear, i'm feeling debonair
If it's a lonely trip to heaven, I'm already there
I'm in the bedroom i'm like stepping like I'm Fred Astaire
I make it happen, battlerapping at my Teddy Bear
When I was twelve I'd leave my door open a crack
afraid if getting busted sneaking porno on my mac
I guess I was a freak
Until I got caught last week
(who's been loving you?)
I was reading Booker T, I threw the book at me
I go for the lookers but they never look at me
I would get a hooker if I could unhook her bra
I'd be looking soft as soon as she took her top. off
let's go rolling in a broken winnebago
stop and smoke a bowl out of a hollowed out potato
It's hash now, but it's hash browns soon
(who's been loving you?)

I know that Jesus loves me
I know that buddha loves
The fucking easter Bunny
and the ghost of gandhi love me
I know that santa loves me
I think my Aunties love me
I know my Grandma loved me
she thought I was handsome trust me

this insanity, that's heredity
it's my family, we can let it be
wish I pretended that mom and dad are dead to me
But i love my dad, that motherfucker read to me
my first words were "where's the love?"
mad smug, assed up on a bearskin rug
fashodo, mom'll show you the photo
(who's been loving you?)
I do embarassing better
I could wear a pink sweater
with a pair of slick pleather pants
derelicte e-va-ry day and it's well known
that I hop off stage with my cell phone
fake a dropped call when everybody's near me
and shout "I love you mom!" so everybody hears me
I need to and true nothing new but
(who's been loving you?)

Even though I owe them money
I think it's pretty likely
that my whole family loves me
My lovers tend to like me
I know my homies love me
My teachers loved to hate me
The haters love to fuck with me
the fickle love me lately

I'm a percussionist. I never knew guitar
it's cheesy, but I'm stunting like a superstar
it's easy man I'm hopping out a moving car
call me weezy cause I'm coughing at the hookah bar
I don't do cigars, but I got hella game
I can make a lady out of styling gel and cellophane
so you can yell my name, I make the bed frame move
(who's been loving you?)
me and my better friends are heading to the town strip
if they don't let us in we'll never take roundtrip
because I took an hour picking out my outfit
and then I took another slicking down a cowlick
and I like house sitting, but fuck it now's different
I'm going out and there ain't a bouncer for cowtipping
So I'ma tear this joint up
And i'ma party till the hoofs point up
(who's been loving you?)

this is for Charles Barkley
This is for Poison Ivy
This it's for Draco Malfoy
And it's for Bill O'Reilly
This is for Ned Mencia
It's for the corporate lawyers
it's for the backseat drivers
And for my friend Ann Coulter

the relationship those two have is uncannily similar to the relationship i have with one of my uncles. we both disagree on almost everything from theology to politics but we both know we're the same people and we love each other

id wanna listen to poppa bear talk more if he had stewart on his show more often

what idiots. That mentality that is disturbing, " there is nothing I can do.. I must take these pills and continue to whore myself because my momma and poppa got 2342 dinars."

So if this is correct, you don't need religion to "invent" morality, but religion may help people stay moral. I like this guy--he's pissing in everybody's cheerios!

I'm curious if he's carrying out these experiments on healthy, well-fed monkeys. Although it would be unethical to try this, I wonder what the chimps reactions would be if they were near starving. Would they still share even if there was only enough food for one of them? Sharing when resources are abundant, to me, is not evidence of "moral behavior" but of social behavior--and we've known for years that many monkey groups engage in social behavior. I don't see anything in this video to demonstrate monkeys differentiating between some "right" or "wrong" choice.

On a side note, I think it's really iffy to draw conclusions about human behavior from animal behavior. I'm thinking back to certain Republicans, for instance, who encouraged people to emulate the "family values" of the movie "March of the Penguins" since the momma and poppa penguins work together and even sacrifice their lives for the baby penguins. They were quite embarrassed, of course, when zoologists pointed out that penguins take a new mate every single year.

Also I often think about Net Neutrality in terms of the radio, and why I hate fucking listening to the radio anymore. All they play is the same garbage over and over and over and over.

Let me spell it out for anyone who doesn't get it with one of my favorite James Brown songs:


Now would you ever hear this on the radio??? HELL FUCKING NO you wouldnt. And if you requested it the DJ would probably say something like "Well we don't have THAT in our library but we CAN give you some James Brown!" and then they'd proceed to play "Poppa's Got a Brand New Bag" or actually I take it back, they'd probably play "I Got You (I Feel Good)"

^Such is the way the internet would become if net neutrality was taken out. Dont let corporations take it over :--((((

PS Nice to see QM trolling about again.

I enjoyed what you had to say about violence being the narcotic of the mentally stunted. Very very true. I live in a semi-dodgy area, not particularly awful but theres enough stunted people around that having to deal with that all the time, gets tiresome, so its nice to see fellow humans not down with the whole inflicting suffering thing

like my poppa used to always say 'don't let your alligator mouth try to write checks your hummingbird ass can't cash".
while the dude was just being stupid and runnin at the mouth it was the girls with the camera that were instigating that dumb ass.first they feign horror at the dude getting pummeled and then basically laughed at him.
why is it there is always some stupid girl crying "kick his ass" and then when it goes south for their supposed "champion" they get indignant?
it is just idiocy.
now the dude is bleeding over everything and trying to regain some semblance of dignity by continuing to talk trash and the girls just laugh at him.
violence is the narcotic of the mentally stunted.

thanks man.
it is sad to watch is it not?
i truly believe that the more saturated our society becomes with media wrought by consumerism.
the less value many people seem to put on human life,freedom and dignity.
respect and honesty are pushed aside for self-indulgence and instant gratification.
mike judge created the movie "idiocracy" as a comedy.it is becoming apparent that it may have been more prophetic than comedy.

Poppa, can you hear me?
Poppa, can you see me?
Poppa, can you find me in the night?
Poppa, are you near me?
Poppa, can you hear me?
Poppa, can you help me not be frightened?
Looking at the skies
I seem to see a million eyes
Which ones are yours?

Cool, thanks!

Coming up on "Scared Straight", we drug and kidnap white rapper Boostalk, and then drop him off between Normandy and Western in East Los Angeles. Will the young MC make it out alive? Or will Big Poppa find him before he escapes? The answer to those questions, and many more are coming up. Stay tuned!
