Two Witty Uncles Chatting to the Beat

Joshua Olsson was thinking about Lauren Malkovich again. Lauren was an intelligent sunshine ray with fair hair and skinny hands.

Joshua walked over to the window and reflected on his cold surroundings. He had always hated rainy Chicago with its average, annoying arches crossing the sky. It was a place that encouraged his tendency to feel nostalgic.

Then he saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Lauren Malkovich.

Joshua gulped. He glanced at his own reflection. He was a courageous, virtuous, beer drinker with dark hair and bulky hands. His friends saw him as an average, annoying artifact of another time. Once, he had even rescued a fast dog from a burning building.

But not even a courageous person who had once rescued a fast dog from a burning building, was prepared for what Lauren had in store today.

The rain hammered like drooling dog, making Joshua sad. Joshua grabbed a gray umbrella that had been strewn nearby; he massaged it with his fingers.

As Joshua stepped outside and Lauren came closer, he could see the hilarious glint in her eye.

Lauren glared with all the wrath of a thoughtful grim giraffe. She said, in hushed tones, "I hate you and I want love."

Joshua looked back, even more sad and still fingering the gray umbrella. "Lauren, you don't know what you want," he replied.

They looked at each other with longing feelings, like two cool, curious cats talking at a wedding, which had piano music playing in the background and two witty uncles chatting to the beat.

Joshua regarded Lauren's fair hair and skinny hands. "I feel the same way!" revealed Joshua with a delighted grin.

Lauren looked wistful, her emotions showing like a bad, blushing book.

Then Lauren came inside for a nice drink of beer.

Dumb shit like this is why I'm not a commie anyway

Why does the BBC (clue is in the name lol) always pick Blacks, never Indians or Chinese who actually outnumber blacks in Britain.
Its almost like it has nothing at all to do with representation
