FUBU

I'm already at school, and I was just told that I don't have to teach my first class. Normally a joyous occasion to be repreived of my duties, but today is Thursday. I have one class, then a 3 hour break until my next class. If I had known yesterday I didn't have to teach my first class, I could have slept till 11:00. But now I am awake, at school, and have nothing to do. I'm sad. On an up note, I saw a teenage kid wearing a FUBU jacket. For those of you who may not know, this is a clothing brand made by black people, and FUBU stand for: For Us By Us. It's intended for black people, and back in Baltimore, white people weren't forbidden to wear it or anything, but just ridiculed till they were ashamed to be seen in public with it. I wonder if the FUBU makers know that their product is now being worn by white Hungarian teenagers in Europe. Was that their intention? Does FUBU stand for something else now? And those are my strange thoughts this morning.

How about "For Utterly Bogus Understatements"
Or. "Found Under Bed Untied"
Or. "Fight Upstream Between Unions"
Or. "Fly Up Bounce Under"
My favorite:
"Forget Ugly Blue Umbrellas"

Have a good one!
