Ja Rule...Ja Rule!!!???????????????? Good Lord!!!:roll:

Someone's a little ethnocentric..

How old was the kid? And how long has Ja been famous?

yeah, Ja Rule has been out since what? like 1999 he got popular. so is this kid at least look 5?

The mother had to tell the kid not to wander around, so he's probably pretty young.

If that wasn't a nickname and truly was his name it's even more absurd considering Ja Rule is just a stage name. That's like naming your kid Mr. Whipple because you liked Charmain commercials!

I think you got the wrong question. WHY would you buy meat at Kmart seems like an even better one.

They're no different than the local grocery stores here (Food-Lion, Winn-Dixie, Lowes, Harris-Teeter). K-Mart usually has regular sales on ground beef for $.99 a pound and they have really good cuts of meat.

We don't have Super K's in our area but we recently got a Dollar General Market. They have a really small meat section, but 've gotten several steaks from there that were really good. They also have a really good fruit and veggie area with awesome prices. Early this year they had whole pineapples for $1.50. Those were about the best I've ever had.

That is sad to be honest. A friend of a friend named their child "Knowledge" and the name Knowledge comes from a movie which starred a bunch of rappers. However I think there is a huge difference as Knowledge sounds like a unique normal name. Ja Rule was meant to be a slang or a "street" name don't you think?

Bah, that's nothing. My friend's mother had two siblings as students, one named Orangejello (OH-RAHN-GEL-OH) and the other named Lemonjello (LEH-MAHN-GEL-OH) This is in St Louis County, I believe the children were bussed in from the inner city.
