If you’re anything like me (and if you are, I’m sorry), you couldn’t let Billy Gillispie get by with saying he’s going fishing in Mexico, without wanting to know more. That’s like you asking me to go to dinner and me saying I’ll take a raincheck because I’m having another 10 lbs. of sand delivered to the house so I can finish my life-sized sculpture of William H. Macy. That would require a follow-up question, right? Exactly. (I have no idea where I was going with that.) So, with that terrible analogy behind me, I dug a little deeper into this “fishing trip” and I think I’ve pinpointed where Gillispie will be tossing out his bobber in The Land of Tequila and Jesus Candles.

6. I don’t think you know what racist means.

@5 – I did not think of that, and I’m sorry. I actually think there’s a difference between using a word that someone finds offensive because of their religious choice, and directly calling a nation or race or group of people who have no choice about their condition names. To be honest, I am not apologizing for saying “God,” but I am sorry that I didn’t think about that being offensive to you or anyone else. I don’t believe we can be right, or politically correct, in our speech all the time, and I do believe we have the freedom of speech, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be considerate of each other, and be willing to make corrections if it’s offensive to others, especially when it’s of little consequence to ourselves. It didn’t mean anything to me to say “God,” and now that I know it did mean something to you, I’m willing to change the way I comment on here. I mean, it’s not like it’s offensive *not* to say “God” or “land of Jesus candles,” so once we’ve been corrected, why do it.

Good ***, because its funny.

Is that Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis beside Billy Clyde?

@humor — I agree that that’s the reason we’re tempted to say offensive things, because they’re funny. I come here because I like the funny, the ridiculous. But, some things are more important than “funny.” We don’t have to tear down to laugh.

I have the same belly as the shirtless guy.
February 1st, 2013 at 9:16 pm
Actually, I do think it’s okay to tear down to be funny….when it’s directed toward those in the power position. “Jokes should aim up,” I’ve heard recently. It’s just not cool to tear down those who are already down just for a chuckle.

Good ***, please look at the gazing amigo on the left and tell me you don’t smile.
February 1st, 2013 at 9:19 pm
Good **, that is an awful thing to say! How do you know these guys are already down?
February 1st, 2013 at 9:24 pm
@humor – In a whole different context (minus the photoshop, and it clearly being used to disparage Mexico) I might think this is a great photo, and I might smile at the man on the left–but not because I think it’s funny, not because I’m unconsciously condescending, knowing my position in the world is better, and seeing him being made fun of makes me feel more secure–but because he has a great look of joy on his face. Seeing another human with a real joyful smile on his face would make most people want to smile. But I’m not smiling right now, because I know he is the butt of a joke he doesn’t deserve.

@humor — The whole country of Mexico is exploited by us and the rest of the world. I’m not saying they’re helpless, but the statistics show that the country is more disadvantaged than we are. That’s what I meant by “down.” I believe that people should and can help themselves, but I also believe that that’s hard to to when the tools to help yourself are ripped out of your hands.
(It’s also getting hard to have this conversation because our comments are being moderated / deleted, so I’m going to bow out now. It’s been nice chatting. Go Cats!)

I looked at the picture from left to right and I’m pretty sure that’s why I’m paralyzed with laughter right now. Try it…

Somebody tell Billy not to take any guns with him that he might show to the Mexican border guards.
February 1st, 2013 at 10:05 pm
This is what brings us all back. Pretty funny picture.
February 1st, 2013 at 10:07 pm
I do not see Pearl.

“Shut the door. You’re lettin’ all the stank out!”
February 1st, 2013 at 10:40 pm
Hey mannnnn, looks like Billy done dropped his Coronnnnnna! Somebody get him a real beer!
February 1st, 2013 at 11:35 pm
Maybe he is planning to swing my Maggard’s comedy club got a little impromptu skit where he puts audience members who aren’t tough enough in the bathroom stalls.

I know Isla Mujeres well and know the bartenders at Jax, Soggy Peso and Brisas. The Warrior is in for a helluva trip. Hope he tips my boys well.
February 1st, 2013 at 11:44 pm
I just got back from two months in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. It’s a beautiful place full of wonderful people …
February 1st, 2013 at 11:52 pm
Something tells me Marc Maggard is behind this. Maybe Billy G is gonna get a good look at the South American point guard.
February 1st, 2013 at 11:57 pm
That pic of BCG is one of the funniest I’ve seen on here!

Is it offensive to refer to Israel as The Land of Coupons and Little Hat Frisbees?
