Crackerass Beaver!

As many of you know, I was in Toronto for a conference. I bought a Roots back pack (interestingly enough I did not purchase said bag from one of the 4 Roots stores I visited but instead found it in a hotel store - alas) and it has a little Canadian Maple Leaf and the word Roots and an embroidered Beaver on it. Not sure why the Beaver is one of their symbols, it just is. In anyevent, Misty (name changed to protect the innocent) asked me if that was the International Symbol of Lesbians! The beaver! How funny is that? Not funnier than this: Misty just recently learned that the term "Cracker" was a derogatory term for white people. It seems that her entire life was spent thinking that when someone called out "move it Cracker," or "You Crazy Cracker" or "Cracker ass Cracker" or "move your jankass you cracker" they were simply calling her a Saltine.

Misty, I love you sister!
