killer wit the beat, i know killers in the street...

I meant to tell this story earlier, but I forgot.

To give you some background, this is a story about the Yankee. She's a quiet person, especially in groups of people. She's reserved and pretty straight laced.

This weekend, we all got together and watched American Gangster (really interesting movie.) We were discussing it over a game of Apples to Apples. If you've never played that game, you really should. It's entertaining.

Basically, I had to choose between two cards: Denzel Washington and South Africa. I don't even remember what the green card was...it rarely matters with me. I pick the funniest card or card comparison...(like, when the green card said friendly, I laid down Jack the Ripper and proceeded to snicker at the cruel joke.) So, I had Denzel and South Africa. Naturally, I picked the more gangster of the two and went with Denzel, the American Gangster. Well, the Yankee's card was South Africa, so she lost and proceeded to say, "You picked Denzel over South Africa?! Which is more important!?"

I said, "Yes, the AMERICAN GANGSTER? Of course I picked that one." (you all should know, I will always choose gangsta.)

She said, "He wasn't even gangster."

I said, "Um...he covered a man in gas and lit him on fire with the FIRST 10 SECONDS."

She said, "Okay, so is that all you have to do to be gangster?!"

I said, "uh...yeah. Not to mention the other guy he shot in broad daylight at that cafe..."

She said in her sore loser voice, "Oh, right...All you have to do is kill 2 men and you're gangsta?! Geez, then I'm half way there."





I busted out into fits of laughter. This is so not someone who would ever say or do anything like that. She said it with the straightest face ever. I was like, "So, one down one to go?! or...what?!?!?!"

I laughed and laughed and laughed.

Don't be fooled when you meet her for the first time. Just remember, she's already killed once. She's on the hunt for number two.
