"Not Worth its own thread" Thread

I can't believe I'm saying this but I kind of miss jail. But, I know it won't be the same if I go back again. It's not always a friendly family reuinion in there.

But if I do, John I hope you in my cell bruvva. Made jail funny and kept me from bashing the only phone handle they had to call family and friends into a wall. Quite possibly prevented me from finding a tooth brush handle shanked into my liver too, as a result.

Thanks man, I hope next time I get locked up that you also coincidentally rob a liquor store. One Love.

Glad someone else got the TPB meme. I haven't been to jail but I grew up in trailer parks and agree that it's hilariously/tragically accurate. Some of the scenes could've been lifted right out of my childhood.

Would you say TPB is more true to life or Gummo (if you've seen it)?

I had a friend live in a trailer but I wasn't around long enough to see most synchronization take place, so I can't compare regular TBP to their Jail offshoot but I'm sure they carry over the same theme of integrity in comparison to real life as Jail does.

I basically grew up in the slums of Ukraine, so anything and everything in the US was an upgrade to me. No Americans understood how I was happy living in the hood and I never understood some of the Ukrainians that would complain about the US when they settled.

If it's in the same sentence as TPB then, I have to watch Gummo this week since I'd never heard of it until now. Thanks!

Gummo is definitely not a lighthearted romp through a trailer park but it's an interesting movie.

I got a permission to put 20kg's worth of my weight on the operated leg. A week from now I get to put all my weight on it! Slowly I will be getting rid of these crutches.

That's great news!

You should write a concept album about your foot's medical issues. It could give Necroticism-era Carcass a run for their money.

I put it on last night but was already dozing off late night so I will save it for this weekend hopefully but from the little bit I've seen it looks sort of my early life. Cause I got into the shit when I was like 6 or 7.

When i had my first shot of Ukrainian Moonshine (Samagonka) which my uncle poured up a second after I accidentally drank the first thinking it was water.

Then around the same month some kid on a bike took us to this hole in the ground which used to be a basement for a house that was completely missing, other than it's foundation overgrown by grass. He gave me and my best friend our first ciggs down there.

I think this sort of thing is just reality of poorer living situations like me and you were brought up in @wheresthefbomb since there isn't that much else to get into at that age, unfortunately. Haven't got a single regret being raised in the mud though. If anything, I look at people that were raised in some castle like it's melted mud because they will treat people like dirt, usually.

And do a cover of Type O Negative's cover of Angry Inch, but adjust the lyrics slightly to your situation.

Good idea...

Might I suggest, "One Foot in the Grave" because, literally....

I managed to avoid smoking and drinking for most of my teens, but def remember sketchy situations hanging out with older teenagers at the gazebo offering us smoke and telling us about using heroin and having unprotected sex. We broke into a couple houses with that same kid, stole knives and shit, looking back it's a miracle we didn't get busted. Also remember narrowly avoiding a massive knife fight gangbang down by the dumpsters shortly after that. That shit would've been real ugly, buncha tweens fucking each other up. Most of those kids ended up in juvie and are probably in real jail now. I appreciate my experiences but am so glad I got out of that place.

Is this the thread for kids raised in poor neighborhoods in the third world? Found it! Finally!

Now I belong.

Luckily my mother pretty much sheltered me and my sister from it, and we weren't aware about how "unlucky" we were. Got mugged a few times, and saw a few shootings though. Lots of pimps, prostitutes, and drug addicts in the area. Also a lot of regular people going about their lives the best they could. Nice people.

But we don't live there anymore. It's way WAY worse now. People's homes are being taken over by gangs (narcos), killed in the streets like nothing, lots of drug dealing, drug labs, sicarios (hired killers)... way worse.

Oh, well. Stay in school, kids!

Tell me about it man. I grew up on the mean streets of Ponte Vedra Beach.

Haha, had to look it up. Looks really nice.

Now I live in a way better place than "El Fonavi Centenario" (the neighborhood were I lived many years as a kid / teenager), I'm very very lucky.

We moved in 2002, I think, to a nice(r) house. There was a big flood in 2003, you can see were we lived until 2002 in this picture (third floor). Lucky me!

Oh yeah, that's right. You still owe me them yellacaerd stories

lol WHAT? That's insane!! You're literally telling my experience! I was in Ukraine until I was almost 9 and it was the exact same. 😲😲😲 We all had bikes. An older kid took us to a half-constructed house in the neighbourhood, we went down to the crappy basement which could only be accessed by a ladder. And he gave us our first cigarettes. My best friend at the time was there too! I must have been like 7 years old then.

They are all pretty meh.

I grew up on an island in Alaska, so not quite the third world, but also definitely rife with all of the things that comprise the concept of "rural shithole." at least it's beautiful there.

Yeah, it’s a beatiful place according to the pictures i saw.

But snow, ice, mountains… they look beautiful in the picures, but living there? No, thank you.

I’ve been to places like that on vacation and a few days of extreme cold and constant wind and snow is more than enough. Not that I like extremely hot weather either, though, but I’m more used to it.

Either you're fuckin with me or you followed me around since I was 7. Same age as you when it all went down and we also had to climb shoddy ladders to get down there.

I had a blue bike with fat black tires and would get into any sort of shit with my best friend for the day, every day. Until my dumbass accepted going to school, then all my slumdog millionaire ice cream grivni all went to waste.

Shit I grew up in poor conditions, but I had a bike so I thought I was Livin' La Vida Loca. Me and my best friend in Ukraine named Stas used to constantly collect these spiders called "Kristoviki" which are Cross Orbweaver spiders in this long ditch next to the wall of his house.

We would go prone and crawl in this "hallway" covered in these spiderwebs and we would collect them into a jar of pickles that was empty. Looking back at this spider, Idk how in the fuck we weren't creeped out being in basically a hallway with a spiderweb ceiling crawling on our stomachs trying to find these fuckers.

We wuz in they house bruvv, IN THEY HOUSE!
