Hey Fred. You gotta check your approach when you step up to these thinkers at JJP. “Our boy Barry” and that package of Cheetos ain't gonna work for ya. These thinking peeps here.

Hey can I get in here? I used to eat Frito Pie when I was a kid. Since I don't eat red meat and what not….I eat Frito Pie with veggie chili instead. Take me out of Texas…you know how the saying goes….

I don't drink sodas, but I know about the Dr. Pepper craving from my peeps.

WTF, Leota there is nothing South African about police investigating a crime and asking for identification. You need to pick up book and research South Africa before you start making comparisons.

YOU know I love to cry racism? I don't know you–and you sure as hell don't know me, and I don't care if you're waiting all night. I wouldn't show my ID if I was on my own property either. What is this, 1970's South Africa? Have pass laws been instigated and no one told me?
Okay–that's enough of you–troll elsewhere.

LOL!

I've been to places where they only serve Mr. Pibb....I order Coke instead! :)

I swear...My mother use to love Frito- Pie like no other!
(Bless her heart) I love her!

Being “bristled” isn't a excuse not to show your id.

Hey fellow Texans! I went to Chicago a few years back and ordered a Dr Pepper. The waitress told me they had Mr. Pibb.

I got a Pepsi instead.

Also, I love introducing Frito-Pie to people. They always turn their noses up at first, but then they give in. They always give in.

I know you love to cry racism but I answer this question? Why didn't he show his id? I'M WAITING

Come on Plants you are smarter than that. Come on use common sense here. The police received a called about a black male breaking into a home a certain address. The police respond to the call and see a person fitting that description at the address and ask for his id. And then he becomes uncooperative. Come on if I was the cop I would have thought he had something to hide too. Like I said your anger is misdirected his neighbor that called the police is the person you should be upset with.

Ya just never know…..maybe it was one of his slacker days and he was wearing all those scruffy things he likes to wear on his slacker days. Hair uncombed….oh wait – does he still have hair? Okay – barely…..

How did the cops know it was his house? That's what they were trying to find out until he became uncooperative. The article even said they asked for id. If he would have shown him his id ……..CASE CLOSED. This isn't even new story.

Another Texan here…

I love Dr. Pepper! It's priority on my grocery list! I can't do without it! :)

Maybe its because he bristled at the insanity of being accused of breaking into his own house?

Kudos to Cheryl getting a question in on the health care conference call with Count Barackula. *Cues up Jefferson's theme song*

WTF?! So if older well dressed black men who look like college professors would stop committing all the damned crimes– Gates wouldn't have been dragged from his house. GTFOOH . . . . .

LOL! Don't we have the BEST Dr Pepper? It's the Texas cane sugar I believe.

I don't think he's my “homie”, but I call him Barry sometimes too. I picked that up at Wonkette. Also, it's sweet and what his Tutu called him. When in polite company it's always President Obama or just the President.
