The Honkys Are Coming
Oh. My. Dear. Sweet. Buddha. With. A. Big. Round. Belly. Just when I thought my two eyeballs had seen it all, here come The Honkys. “What,” you might ask, “are The Honkys?” The mini word geniuses at Princeton tell us a “honky” is: (n) whitey, honky, honkey, honkie (slang) offensive names for a White man. Ask John McFarlane, and he might give you a different answer. “Renegade artist, photographer and filmmaker John McFarlane is releasing webisodes for the first time of his soon-to-be-produced comedy The Honkys.” Yep. Tonight he’s having a press screening of The Honkys — featuring characters like “Honky Mama,” “Honky Bitch” and others — at Bar13. Join him at 35 East, 13th St (near Union Square) at 8pm for the special screenings and drinks. Discussions of race + use of the word “honky” + booze = instant win? :)
I was invited and looked to sharing my thoughts because I just can’t get have enough talk of multicultural sexing. But, alas, I can’t attend. :( Feeling under the weather and haven’t left the house today. If I feel better later, I’m going to my writing group instead of the show. Priorities, man. Priorities. They say this premiere is for special friends and family, but I figure it’s okay to share with all you guys given that the details about the screening are freely posted on their site. Plus, I double-checked with the chick who sent me the invite and she said it was cool to blog the deets. By the way, speaking of race and stuff, I’ll wax about … surprise, surprise …. interracial dating tomorrow. Stay tuned. There will be black people, white people, Frenchmen, Asians and sex. Shit, I think I’ve already said too much. ;) Oh well. Anyway. Come back tomorrow and I promise to have sexy stuff for your eyeballs.

That’s a good word: “Honky”. You don’t hear it enough in everyday conversation. So here goes: Honky, honky, honky, honky! I feel much better now.
What? It’s derogatory? Well doh. Guess I can’t use it anymore.

I was sick too. I think everybody I know is.
Gosh, “honky” is like my favorite word ever. I rememeber cracking up the first time I heard it on A Very Special Episode of some forgettable sitcom about orphans.
I’m taking it back.

gee…… have’nt heard that chestnut in a looooooong time…… to get the ” real ”
benefit of that most very interesting word….. conjure up an early SNL bit with
Chevy Chase and the late, great Richard Pryor on you tube…. killer stuff….
but, I believe it’s earlier use was for the ” good ole boys ” who frequent the bars
on the dark side of town back in the day….. to get the attention of the local
ladies of the evening, they would ” honk” their car horns to find out how much
for how long….
lamesabassman…… think of what they would have been called if the good ole boys drove those old VW bugs …… ” beep-beep”

Shouldn’t that be “The Honky’s is coming”
That is if we want to be ebonically correct.
