The other day I made a joke to one of my coworkers about 40′s and she had no idea what I was talking about. I always think really hard when someone doesn’t get my jokes, and it made me realize that the 40-ounce beverage, and malt liquor in general, has somehow become a distinctly black phenomenon that is difficult for foreigners to fully grasp. But how did American black folks become the key market for consumption of this drink?
After posting his “Man Laws,” AverageBro made a request for someone to answer with some “Girl Laws.” “Girls” play with dolls and whatnot, and even calling them “Blackgirl Laws”, as much as I tend to use that word for…

I wasn’t a blogger back in April of 2007 when this video, “Weng Weng Rap” was released as a YouTube meme, but it’s actually pretty hot in a “What The Eff?” sort of way. First of all, I absolutely adore…
AverageBro speaketh the truth. Since I tend to hang on his every word and I’m travelling, I’m thrilled to feature this guest post from him. It has a little in common with my classic The 7 Worst Things to…
Really, it never has been a joke for me. I think my dad took that photo of little Thembi in like 1981 and I still loves me some beach. No, I was not a sad child, those are just my…
When I lived in France I learned that the French love R&B. My white roommate had a Montell Jordan CD and played it often, and my lil’ Cameroonian boyfriend Francois had every single CD that R. Kelly has ever…
This has been a crazy week for me, so posting has been slow, but a few things have happened that have made me consider a new career as a psychic.
On March 20, I posted a video of Pauly…
This video proves that Biggie Smalls has been reincarnated as a 7-year old boy named Latarian. X-Box and high fructose corn syrup brought us to this ridiculous juncture.
See guys? No big deal, he just wanted to do fun…
1. I updated my blogroll recently. Just so you know, “new” just means new to my blogroll, not necessarily the blogosphere. I’m notoriously poor about technical aspects of the blogging thing, so after realizing that there are blogs that I…
“I was at Rite Aid and this dude said to his friend ‘Fam you wanna get that? Its on sale.’ talking about some Blistex. His friend was like ‘Man, im from the hood, dog, if my lips gonna be white,…
Leon’s appearance as a spooky Jesus-type figure in Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” video back in 1989 was partially responsible for my sexual awakening. I thought, “Oooh! He’s cute…but more than cute…I don’t know the word for it (“hot”) or these…

I tried to write about Bob Johnson and his nonsense last week, but I was just in too good of a mood. Now that the world has…
This clip is not safe for work in the silliest of ways.
When did he decide to first try this? How did he know that others would be entertained by it? How long did it take to master? How…
This nineties one-hit hip-hopper looks good enough that I’d holla if he didn’t have a few kids.
UPDATE: Kim nailed it with the first guess. This is Candyman who hit big with “Knockin Boots.” I had to look…
For the past year or so I’ve been craving tattoo number three. Like most people, I started out with a tattoo that held special significance, as if going through some cataclysmic change in life just simply had to be documented…
“What, Me Snub?”R.I.P. Roscoe Lee Browne“What The Eff?” Wednesday has always been so easy to write because weird things just draw themselves to me. But for the last few weeks everything around me has been pretty plain vanilla. Then, at the supermarket I was drawn to a tower of tomatoes on the vine and decided to whip up some pico de gallo.
