Last time I was there, the girl I was with wanted us to duet Kanye's "Gold Digger", which I thought was a terrible idea, but we did it anyway. Apparently you're supposed to say "ninja" instead of "nigga" if you're white. I didn't. I'm white. So was she. No one cared but her.

I will occasionally do "Dirt Off Yr. Shoulder," and always transpose "neighba" for "nigga." It goes remarkably well:
"If you're feelin' like a pimp, neighba go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too; go and brush your shoulders off
Neighbas is crazy, baby, don't forget the boy who told you..."

Chopsticks II was the E Burnside location, where you could often see Elliott, Quasi, Spinanes, The Jicks, & Sleater Kinney among many others back in the day.
