I love people with too much time on their hands.

They make the Internet a better place.

For proof, consider that there is already a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Jayhawk 'Em site.

Awesome.

Just awesome.

We're not even 24 hours removed from Tyshawn Taylor dislocating his finger throwing a punch at a KU football player, and we've already got a site called PointPlankn.com . The name is a reference to one of Taylor's recent Facebook updates. If you missed the update, well, here you go: “Real n-ggers do real things .. point plankn."

Honestly, I couldn't begin to guess what "point plankn" means. But I've already used it three times today, most recently when I told my wife, "You need to make sure the kid knows his vocabulary words for tomorrow ... point plankn."

Somehow, I think it works.

Anyway, click this link to check it out.

And have fun punching a KU football player ... point plankn.

I think FIJItiger unwraps the mystery surrounding the phrase "point plankn" in this post:

www.tigerboard.com/boards/missouri-

tigers.php?message=7721985


"point plankn" or "point plankin'" is a slang term related to participating in organized gang activity. "Point Plank" refers to the Jersey City and Bergen Point Plank Road, which existed as a major New Jersey thoroughfare in the 19th century. "Point Plank" now describes the blighted area in the Greenville section of south Jersey City, roughly bordered by Grand Street and Garfield Avenue. This is one of the highest crime-infested neighborhoods in the United States, notorious as a crack cocaine distribution center, with significant drug and gang-related violence.

"Point plankin'" thus refers to the participation in said drug and gang-related activity. Tyshawn Taylor, not coincidentally, is from Jersey City.

N*gger = derogatory

N*gga = not derogatory

I highly doubt Taylor had the word "N*gger" in any of his facebook updates.

What do they teach you jackasses from Tarhole land. First its Lawrence not "Lawernce". Second Taylor is a sophomore not a "solphmore". Third uncohesive isn't even a word dumbass. Every time I think iv'e heard from the dumbest and I mean dumbest carolina fan a new one appears to take the title.

The real question is...

Do they teach English in Lawernce.  I know he is quoting a Lil' Wayne song, but there were so many typos and uncohesive statements.  Snoop Dogg looked at his facebook and said "Dude needs to learn English."

He's a solphmore.  I wonder if he is a comunication Major?
