Yeah . . . but figuring it out is racist!

Anyone who reads this blog regularly will know I have a tendency to quote from anything and everything -- Dante, the Beach Boys, Sigmund Freud, Pleiadian Perspectives on Human Evolution, it's all fair game, and I like to think it shows how admirably well-rounded my education has been. But there's one bit of dialogue I don't quote nearly as much as I would like to -- because citing my source would mean acknowledging the shameful fact that I once watched several uninterrupted minutes of (cough) Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.

So, here it is. In the future, I can just discreetly link to this post instead of having to mention what movie it's from.


Deuce: TJ, thank God you're here.

TJ: How'd you find me?

Deuce: It's the only chicken and waffle place in all of Holland.

TJ: So a black man's gotta be at a chicken and waffles place! That's racist!

Deuce: But you are here.

TJ: Yeah . . . but figuring it out is racist!
