Yeah, that Seven Minutes in Heaven game totally sucks.

"Well I don't really care what people say -
I don't really watch what them want to do -
Still I got to stick to my girls like glue
And I-man no play number two.
All I know the time it is getting dread -
Need a lotta trees up in my head -
Got a lotta damsel in my bed
To run that red"

Yo, Tracer, hook me up with your roomie, it'd be like the worst thing that's ever happened, plus I could eat like 10 inches of pizza, BINGO!

Um, I don't know, I think he has a friend in town

I'd sort of feel funny about getting married if I was going to put my friends *before* my husband... but I think they can happily co-exist in my life and I can spare emotional space for both. I have been in Kate's situation though; maybe there is always a dodgy period at the start of a relationship before you find the balance.

Of course it helps when your other half is not psychotically jealous, nor your friends mean-spirited and needy.

1. Quite.

2. "Bros Before Hos" = ?

3. Dave Q = Benna Carpenter

4. that is more of a meme-question or, more still, a mememe-question

RJG, I salute you once again.

bros before hos sounds like a great chicago jack track, or maybe green velvet

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 2 May 2003 11:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

Last night actually made me feel more happy about the situation. There was a conflict, and we managed to find a compromise that suited both of us. I was a little worried that I'd been too much of a pushover about it, going to HSA's thing at the ICA when I really just wanted to be down the pub with my mates. But HSA was nice, lovely and understanding about it, and even came out and made an effort to meet my friends, and even offered to go and pick up the tickets without me, if I wanted to stay and have another round.

So I'm pretty sure I'm worrying for nothing, and we're finding the balance. I hope. I did get very drunk and a bit odd on him last night, but he seemed OK with it...

gareth is otm. pinefox number 4 is too.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 2 May 2003 11:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

somebody from Chicago would never use that phrase (we gots mad class)

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 2 May 2003 14:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

Obviously as a middle-aged Englishman I would feel like an utter twat trying to talk in these words, but...

The C family, Mark and Dr, are the voices of wisdom. There is a balance that each person finds between one and the other. My ex-wife had the odd casual friend, but they never lasted. I have had a bunch of friends who are hugely important to me for, mostly, twenty+ years. The one time I had a difficulty was after I split from my wife. I think I wanted to increase the amount of time and so on with those friends, but obviously they had their lives too, and there was limited scope, maybe limited desire too, to increase my share in them. I settled down after a while, and found a new equilibrium.

Hahaha, Martin Skidmore is all sexually reticent about saying "hos."

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 2 May 2003 17:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

Let's not forget the female equivalent of this is "chicks before dicks".

I think Gareth is right upthread. The key to happiness is balance among all elements of life. I *hate* being dissed by friends for their lastest bedmates but I'm sure I've been guilty for it in the past. What's sad though is how much more forgiving some women can be of this crime by fellow women. As in, "well of course she's choosing her BF over us. BFs are *so* much more important." CRAP!

― That Girl (thatgirl), Friday, 2 May 2003 17:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

Chicks with dicks before bros with hos.

― Chris P (Chris P), Friday, 2 May 2003 18:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's not sexual reticence, Nabisco - it's the kind of slang it is. As a middle-aged English white guy, it is so alien that it feels absurdly false to say it. The bros part as much as the hos.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 2 May 2003 20:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

Martin, I thought the absurd phoniness of using such terms was a given for many, if not most, of us.

― Rockist Scientist, Friday, 2 May 2003 21:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

I feel left out.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 2 May 2003 21:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, probably, and I can cope with some slang that in no sense belongs to me, but this is too distant in culture, time, geography, sensibility, everything, that it feels too forced. Sorry, I was initially trying to do that in a jokey way (about middle aged English stiffness) rather than make any point about the terminology or anything like that. I am doing a lousy job of being light tonight, for some reason, but that's another story.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 2 May 2003 21:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hey, Martin, Jerry the Nipper said "fo shizzle" TWICE on AIM this morning. If he can become comfortable with that, you certainly can get used to "ho" and "bro"..

― Mandee, Friday, 2 May 2003 21:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

Jerry has stronger US connections than me, and also is a lot younger!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 2 May 2003 22:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

me too!

Julio, you only say that cos you never get drunk.

― Mark C (Mark C), Saturday, 3 May 2003 08:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

heh.

After my discomfort above with the bros and hos stuff, I was today walking around with my Walkman on in the least white area of the UK (my home area, 34% white - only one other borough in the UK has minority white people), and it seems the inhibitions don't arise when I'm just unconsciously singing along with a well-known record, because I was joining in (fortunately at low volume) on "I'm a nigger from the motherfucking streets" (some of you will recognise that I was playing The Chronic).

Many of you will realise that I am not a nigger from the motherfucking streets.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 5 May 2003 16:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

Booyah, Martin.

To what extent do you agree with "BROS BEFORE HOES"

― buzza, Friday, 6 May 2011 22:24 (thirteen years ago) link

I wish my job was illustrating cakes that are also kings.

― offee is for losers only, do you not c? (Abbbottt), Friday, 6 May 2011 22:37 (thirteen years ago) link

KING –– it says it right on his crown.

ooh, he's just about to scoop out some frosting with that scepter of his

― dell (del), Friday, 6 May 2011 22:45 (thirteen years ago) link

he is rushing to the aid of a fallen countryman (too late, too late)

― normal_fantasy-unicorns (contenderizer), Friday, 6 May 2011 22:49 (thirteen years ago) link

Seriously considering a tattoo of that KING.

Lately I’ve noticed some tension among the bros; some dissonance in the brommunity

― calstars, Saturday, 15 December 2018 18:15 (five years ago) link

...as if millions of bros suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Lol, so young... not so different.

I so adhere to this. I hate couples and how they take away my friends. And my guy friends' girlfriends always hate me or my girl friends' boyfriends always think I'm out to maim them (not entirely untrue). I'm in a couple and I hate us.
