From Diz Bay On
FOUND by Mehron in Wilmington, Deleware
I found this contract in front of my house. It seems that the lawyers who drafted the document weren't too careful about security.

What does that say?? From diz boy on IMMA?

When I look at this note I hear a Lawrence Welk accent speaking in my head...

From-a diz boy-a
I'm-a try to stop-a
messin' wiff-a boyz
an-a stop-a flirtin'
wiff 'em.

I think the second line is for the notary's signature and seal.

so they were going to sign this "bois annonymous" contract swearing off bois, but a really phat frat boi walked by and they got distracted.

i love that she marks time by which boy she is with... "from this boy on." and that phrase would seem to indicate that failure to stop messin and flirting is inevitable.

@ kwyncee...i actually think she meant to write 'day' not 'boy' but ended up with 'bay'. gawd I really should spend my time deconstructing something a little more worthy. but i won't.

i hate deliberate violations of grammar and spelling.... it's bloody wigger-patois, mostly spoken in the shape of irregular ejaculations during an ordinary conversation in your language of choice.

the Deja just keeps on vu- in g.
translation, for Clover's benefit:
From this day on, I am going to try to stop messing with boys, and stop flirting with them!

(interesting that she's going to TRY to stop messing, but she's GOING to stop flirting. Why cut out that foreplay entirely, but only MAYBE cut out the main event?)

Are the two signature lines for two different chicks entering into this pact, or is it one girl who needs a witness (and notary?)?

I was just listening to some stupid song on the radio this AM, and the chick used the word "Imma." I really hate it. (and it wasn't "stick wit' u.")

@Jan. Yeah, who is the 2nd line for? Did the poor creature have to return this to the social worker with a parent signature, too?

Grrrr! in annoyance
I've always found "Boi" and "Bois" to be some of the most annoying of all of the annoying intentional misspellings people use.

They look distinctly french, so I imagine they should be pronounced "Bwa" and "Bwas".

How does switching one letter for another make the word more convenient to write (or type)? Why do people embrace such stupidity?

Sorry, but I seem to see this a lot, and it bugs the hell out of moi.

Child in time,
Instead of "wigger," why don't you just come out and say "white nigger"? After all, that is what it's a contraction of. And here you are criticizing other people's use of language...

I think she is dyslexic and "bay" at the top means day! My sister is dyslexic and she messes up words like that a lot..

not so quick in slowtown
i have only ever seen "boi" used to describe a passing FtM (female to male)
like t-girl
etc...

also, english, especially it's american form is very much alive and mutating, it takes both those who alter and those who stay rigid to keep it living. so quite bitching at each other.
alterers: try to keep it comprehensible
rigid types: what do we gain without change?

Stop messing AND flirting, but surely that's the whole reason we have boys!(sorry, bois). Methinks this contract won't last long........

I absolutely hate that young ladies today are allowed to speak, let alone Write, this way. I'm sure I misspell and use commas and such wrongly, but OMG!!

@Grrrr in annoyance didn't you mean to say, it bugs the hell out of Moy? lol

Aren't you all glad that I'm not feeling well enough today to argue for the proper use of the English language, letting my pretentious bore side slide for now?

I see that Mehron, the finder, misspelled "Delaware." Hmm. Found it in front of your house, eh?

Strunk and White all up in your ass
Was this penned by 50 Cent? Also, did anyone else note that this "contract" has yet to be signed even after more than a year?

No, it's perfectly acceptable to write notes in the vernacular, just don't turn it in for a grade. That's why I love books by Faulkner and the like - it's legit, let it be.
