I've heard the cowbell refferenced here in Houston media alot lately too. Seems one of our drive time djs has a thing for that skit too. Hmmm "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

A probing analysis of Gwen Stefani’s ‘Hollaback Girl’ by GREG STACY Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” is one of the most baffling pieces of music of the modern age. It’s got something to do with cheerleaders—that much is clear, judging from the chanting and the marching band that’s honking and tooting in the background. Beyond that, good luck deciphering the song’s ambiguities. We were so vexed by the mystery that is “Hollaback Girl” that we have devoted countless hours to its study. Our conclusions are below. The first thing you should know, though, is that Gwen is not singing “I ain’t no Harlem fat girl”—at least, we don’t think she is. Uh huh, this my shit Gwen is introducing us to her shit. All the girls stomp your feet like this This talk of shit and stomping has nothing to do with actually stepping on feces. But what does it mean? From a reading of the later text, we can conclude that the song takes place in the world of high school athletics, and that Gwen is apparently leading the girls in a calisthenics exercise. The “shit,” we surmise, is what she calls the exercises she’s teaching the other girls. A few times I’ve been around that track So it’s not just gonna happen like that Here, Gwen exhorts the girls to try harder as they jog around the track, reminding them that physical fitness is “not just gonna happen,” but must be worked at. Cause I ain’t no hollaback girl I ain’t no hollaback girl These lines are the most confusing, but their meaning will become clearer later. Oooh, this my shit, this my shit Gwen repeats this four more times. She wants to make sure that we are well acquainted with her shit. I heard that you were talking shit And you didn’t think that I would hear it Gwen has been the victim of some slanderous high school gossip, and she doesn’t appreciate it. Gwen is 35 years old sliding into MILF status at this point, but we’ll grant her some poetic license. People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up So I’m ready to attack, gonna lead the pack Gwen is going to round up a “posse” of her girlfriends and retaliate against the person who’s been talking “smack” about her. Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out Gwen is going to beat up the person who wronged her, after she completes the cheerleading routine that will inspire the football team to score a touchdown. Gwen has interesting priorities. That’s right, put your pom-poms down, getting everybody fired up It seems the entire cheerleading squad is going to beat up the person who spoke ill of Gwen; they have put down their pom-poms, and they are now “fired up” to exact swift and terrible vengeance on Gwen’s behalf. A few times I’ve been around that track So it’s not just gonna happen like that Cause I ain’t no hollaback girl I ain’t no hollaback girl Gwen is apparently the captain of the cheerleader squad; she is the girl who “hollas” the chants, not one of the girls who simply “hollas” them back. Given that the squad is preparing to beat somebody up on Gwen’s behalf, she’s picked a strange time to remind them that she is their leader and they are her sheep-like followers. Gwen obviously rules her squad with an iron fist. Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [repeated four times] Again with the shit. So that’s right dude, meet me at the bleachers No principals, no student-teachers Both of us want to be the winner, but there can only be one So I’m gonna fight, gonna give it my all We learn that it was a “dude” who gossiped about Gwen. She challenges him to a fight at the bleachers. If he imagines it will be a fair, one-on-one fight, he is sadly mistaken. Gwen and her aforementioned “pack” will pounce on him like rabid wolves. Gonna make you fall, gonna sock it to you That’s right, I’m the last one standing, another one bites the dust Gwen’s pack of furious cheerleaders leaves the boy a quivering, bloody heap behind the bleachers for the groundskeeper to discover the next day. A few times I’ve been around that track So it’s not just gonna happen like that Cause I ain’t no hollaback girl I ain’t no hollaback girl Having completed their ghastly work, Gwen’s squad members return to the field and resume their cheerleading activities, as Gwen reminds them once more that she is the boss and they are all her bitches. Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [repeated four times] By calling her exercise routines “shit,” Gwen is showing us that for all her bravado, the character in this song secretly suffers from profound self-esteem issues. She is a complex antiheroine for an age of changing gender attitudes and expectations. Let me hear you say, this shit is bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S Here, Gwen steps away from this bloody spectacle for a moment to comment on the madness and ugliness of what we’ve just witnessed, and, by extension, the petty rivalries of high school in general. This shit is bananas, Gwen tells us, and we can only agree. And lest we miss the point, she spells it out. And repeats it another three times. A few times I’ve been around that track So it’s not just gonna happen like that Cause I ain’t no hollaback girl I ain’t no hollaback girl Back on the field, Gwen is still bullying the squad to carry out her routines. But now we see her in a new light, as the sad, lost creature she truly is. Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [repeated four times] As the song fades out, Gwen is left only with her “shit,” the mindless exercises that bring her no comfort from the raging emptiness within. As much as she “hollas,” no one hears her cries for help.

Dear god man, don't put ideas like that in her head. That new place you had built. It's covered right? "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Nice you want to heavily arm the zombie horde too. Jeez and I thought you were on our side. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I have to agree with the Star Wars geek.. It's bogus because as he says. Once you've been bitten you must be exterminated. You are going to become a Zombie!

You people will love this one... The head of one of the big three credit reporting agencies says that free credit reports are damn-near unconstitutional. He believes that Americans should pay for access to their own personal data to check the accuracy of their credit reports. Oh and Equifax is the hardest of the 3 to get a free report from. When you do get it, it's almost unreadable. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

you tell um Frenchy! *high 5* Remtard! "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I would suggest contacting the USPA for stats in the US. Worldwide I wouldn't have a clue except to ask the USPA for contact info for other countries. Heck, USPA might even be able to help you with worldwide stats. www.uspa.org "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Where is Timmins? I understand it's in Canada somewhere, so I'm already feeling sorry for her. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

A "Paid Charge Off" is alot better then a "Charge Off" not by much but it's better. Don't you love how they can put anything on our reports. Then the responsibility is ours to prove it's inaccurate. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I really feel for you Mailin. I'm going thru the same thing but it's not just one company falsely reporting. Don't forget there are 3 reporting agencies out there. They may all carry different information on you. Credit is the devil!! I hate it, but it's a fact of life in the USA. After 7 years I finally got my credit score back to 625+ not great not even good. Better then it was and most of it wasn't my shit on my report. I'm just glad things roll off after 7 years, and bankruptcies after 10.

Well sumbitch! Got off the phone this morning with the area mgr. He informed me without a lic number or truck number I have no leg to stand on. He did say he was going to try and go thru Friday's truck logs and see if he can pinpoint the truck. I gave him the time & place. So they have to be able to figure out what truck it was. Something I didn't know is, people drive around and file claims against trucks all the time. I never thought about it.

Strap that sucker to a bottle rocket or better. You're a redneck Texan. I'm sure you've blown up a toad or two. The phone can't be any harder, just doesn't have the soft tissue or a mouth.
