Interesting. So did she just draw the pics, hire some coolies with ehr own funds and risk that they would sell and build it from there?

More or less.

Though we call them peasant Mexicans. To differentiate from the aristocratic Mexicans.

Isnt a coolie an immigrant who works for like twentyfive cents on the dollar? is that a derogatory term? If so, how does Cooley GOdward get away with it?

OK, so someone on IM advises me that cooley is almost as bad, but not as bad as the n word. Now, I thought it was more like redneck or cracker. all are not flattering terms but some are much higher on the offensive scale. I thought coolie was like redneck or cracker and not offenseive. how does one know these thigns? are they regional? is redneck a slur in alabama?

Shit, I didnt even know coolie was related to mexicans. I thought it was more like people from asian countries that we attacked in this century.

My intel is that she's not particularly nice. Not necessarily mean, but not nice.

OK, i thought that was another word. So how come blue collar folk from the deep south who used to work in them fields adn get their necks sunburned from the scorching sun do not object to redneck ? Did Jeff Foxworthy make it ok?

I didn't know this either. Was it recent? Now I find myself sad and yet irritated to have this dead guy's music running through my head.

Its not that big a deal.

I recall why I found the word hysterical. I had a mentally ill relative who used to use it. She was all gummed up in re the cranial region, and she used to say some of the funniest shit. Thanks for dredging those memories.

I'll await an IM regarding the offensiveness of laughing at the mentally ill.

I wonder where she is now? I think I'm a beneficiary in her will, and she's got to be very old. I need to redo the bathroom upstairs.

I think TM should arrive momentarily to tell you taht this relative has taken up residence in the bed and breakfast in my head.

So I will blame the coolie remark on ole Aggie Dangerfield.
