I don’t think so. I’d like to think that even if there was a circular cutout for ones face, it could just be a dribble of baby batter.

Trust me, we had our jokes about me having a BBC parked in the drive.
Sounds like hard work. Shoulda gotcha a nice cold BBC afterwards.

Sounds tasty. I’m sure Mike has nursed one or two. Double fisted them, gulped a few. Milked a couple, swallowed a few, shotgunned one. Maybe he can tell us how it tastes.
There are some fantastic recordings on YouTube of actual slaves. If you get a few seconds and want to go down a rabbit hole, you should give them a listen. Like most things, it's not black and white. Some slaves thought their masters were cruel and abusive, and others thought they were kind. One thing is certain to me, the man who recorded these slaves (in the 1930s), had an epiphany that he speaks about in the following video. An old black man tells him, "You still have the disease... you think you can give me my rights, but I was born with those. You can deprive me of them, but you can't give them to me." This is how I feel about the progressive position on race. They are still trying to give black people their rights instead of just acknowledging they have them.

Stay on topic dude.
People would definitely demand apologies if I ever did that .gif "Laughing")
Not because I'm white, of course
Maybe you could just be a “little” Halloweenie”? Go for the bite size/fun size?

Young children were often sold off much like calves from a cattle herd.
It doesn't make it right, but slaves were not treated in the way that has been portrayed in many Hollywood films with the whipping and beating. In many cases certain slaves were "beloved family members". Many of the women served as "nannies" and many of the men served as "foreman" on homesteads and basically ran the operation.
Again, I'm not by any means saying that slavery was right. All that I'm saying is that history has not exactly been taught correctly. Slaves were never abused.
You were factual until this last sentence. We have photos of the scars slaves received from the whip. Yes white people sometimes got whipped too, but usually only if a judge or military officer ordered it. Whipping was much more frequent for slaves than for anyone else. Any owner could do it any time and not be questioned.

I’ll do ya one better! Let’s set aside our differences and meet in the middle. I’ll be the BBC and you can go as the white [BLEEP] hole! You can even wear “street clothes” if you want.

I'm game, but only if Ronster completes the Team America joke set as the pink fuzzy [BLEEP]. It's OK Ron, street clothes work for your costume too!

Seen the movie many years ago. I kind of forgot about it. Did I subconsciously reference that movie or is my intellectual creativity 15-20 years behind?
