Bruce routines -- REALLY?!

[hschulze at closerlook.com]

Okay.  I admit it. I've been more of a voyeur on this list.
(The Feetlebaum lyrics were my last post.)
But after reading your fourth?/fifth? post of the day, I gotta ask:
MASCARO, are you serious?!!!

>Jean,
Now I'm totally confused.  Is the word he's TRYING to say *nigra* but he
keeps slipping into *nigger* or is he trying to say *negro* but keeps
slipping into *nigra*?  That is how I remembered it, assuming *nigra* was
an explicit insult.  But if you are correct (as how
 could you not be, since you speak Southonics?), and *nigra* is the same
 word as
*negro*then  there wouldn't be a joke there.  So, can you clear this up?
 I swear I hear him slipping over and over into *nigra*, but then, I'm the
one who swore it was Michael Jackson not Donny Osmond singing *One Bad
Apple* so--call me the Gen. Barry McCaffrey (sp?) poster child of the week!
