A few years ago Dave Chappelle told a joke about Ja Rule. The joke centered on what was going on during the 9/11 attacks. Chappelle made fun of the fact that MTV was doing breaking news coverage of the event and at one point during the coverage, the host said right now we have Ja Rule on the phone. The host then went to Ja to give his thoughts on the terror attack that had just happened. I was among those who thought “WHO THE HELL CARES”, what Ja Rule thinks at a time like this.
Chappelle recently talked about that joke, during a recent comedy show, that aired shortly after the murder of George Floyd.
This joke came to mind for me, when I saw Lil Wayne met with the Trump administration. During the meeting, they talked about the state of Black American and discussed the Trump Platinum Plan. Wayne then endorsed the plan.
My problem with this is the same problem I have with asking Ja to weigh in on 9/11, who cares what they think. I think it’s sad and insulting that politicians from any party seek out validation from rappers. I get in the political game, it’s all about getting endorsements. And now we live in a “he or she” has a huge social media following, let me get them on my side, type of environment.
But I think it’s a shame and if there are people out there who support a candidate based on what Lil Wayne, Cardi B, or Ice Cube, has to say; then LORD HELP US. These people are amazing at what they do and have become very successful. But come on, their lives are very different from the people who are out here supporting their music. Living paycheck to paycheck, worried about how they are going to take care of their families during this pandemic.
Have you seen this video? It shows a stripper in Texas, who fell off the pole. While she was in the middle of some crazy stripper acrobatics. This video has gone super viral!!
This was a crazzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyy fall and this whole thing is so unbelievable. Not only did she fall and survive. But she also got right back up and kept twerking!!! You gotta admire the fact that there was no quit in this woman. She was determined to put on a good show, no matter what. I have some questions tho. Who the hell recorded this and how were they able to have a cell phone out recording in a strip club. I wouldn’t know anything about strip club etiquette. I’m too busy studying my bible scriptures, to be out there like that!! But some of my friends have explained the do’s and don’ts of the gentlemen’s clubs.
The victim of this fall decided to post this update on IG, to talk about her injuries.
https://www.instagram.com/tv/B8XZp2lluSF/
Friends of the unfortunate young lady, have also launched a go fund me page to help her with all of her medical costs. If you would like to throw a couple of dollars her way, here you go……
You may be asking yourself, why does Genea “The Stripper” need help with her medical costs. Here’s why her job isn’t pitching in to help with those hospital bills.
Strippers are not employees of the clubs where they work. In many cases, they’re considered independent contractors. Which means they’re freelance twerkers.
Independent contractors aren’t entitled to benefits such as minimum wage, paid time off, or workers’ compensation.
In fact, after a night full of “Using what they got, to get what they want” (Players Club Reference), strippers have to pay a fee for the privilege of stripping at the clubs.
Dancers are also left out in the cold when it comes to retirement, 401k or any kind of pension.
There have been numerous cases where strippers have been injured while swinging on the pole and have been award damages by the courts. One of those case played out in Indiana. A dancer suffered a spine injury after falling off the pole. At first, she was denied workers comp but she fought and won. However; this isn’t something that happens all the time.
Some states are also cracking down on the practice of clubs classifying strippers as freelancers. There have also been numerous class action lawsuits, that have resulted in the courts making it rain for the dancers. But despite the “L’s” many clubs have taken, most still slide under the radar and keep making money off the backs and thongs of these women. Offering them no protection, when it comes to injury or death, while they’re out there shaking what their mamas gave them.
In many cases, strippers are taking their lives into their own hands, each and every time they climb on and off that pole.
Halloween is long gone, but during the holiday season, there are plenty of things that should scare the hell out of you. One of my worst fears is the dreaded “WORK POTLUCK.” Just hearing that phrase makes me want to go throw up.
This meme sums up why I’m so afraid of work potlucks. Here are my top five reasons why I hate them so much.
They’re nasty AF!
They’re nasty AF!
They’re nasty AF!
They’re nasty AF!
They’re nasty AF!
The old folks used to say, “You can’t eat everybody’s cooking.” I agree with that 100 percent, just because you work with someone doesn’t mean you should be on the, I’m eating whatever concoction you whipped up, in your disgusting a@# kitchen.
Ok, so maybe you don’t believe me and you just think this is another crazy rant. Well, let me hit you with some facts. Foodborne illness causes around 48 million people to get sick, which leads to lots of toilet explosions and even 128,000 hospitalizations. And what’s worse, is that close to 3,000 people die each year in the US.
However, if you just have to eat at a work potluck, here are a few tips to help keep you from dying.
SEEK OUT FOOD THAT WAS BOUGHT AND PREPARED AT STORES. Most of the time these items are safe. Unless people are eating with utensils and then double-dipping when they go back for seconds.
CHOOSE FOOD PREPARED BY SOMEONE WHO DOESNT HAVE A NASTY KITCHEN. This may require to you do a home visit and inspect the kitchen yourself. It may seem like a lot to do, but it’s necessary. Do you want to DIE???
AVOID EATING FOOD FROM PEOPLE WHO YOU KNOW, DONT WASH THEIR DAMN HANDS WHEN THEY GO TO THE BATHROOM. This is self-explanatory. You know there are people at your job that you would never ever, ever, ever, shake their hands. Cause you remember that one time; when you guys were in the bathroom that one time. When they walked right past a perfectly good sink and soap dispenser and they didn’t even stop to use it.
IF YOU SUSPECT THEY KISS THEIR PETS IN THE MOUTH, AVOID THEIR DISH AT ALL COSTS. Again this should sound like a no brainer, but you would be amazed. You may be wondering WHY???? Who cares if people kiss their dogs, cats or hamsters in the mouth. Well people who kiss their dogs in the mouth, are typically the same type of people who will share spoons and forks with their fur babies. Those are the same type of folks, who will taste their dish while cooking and then use the same spoon to continue stirring.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE (see below)
IF YOUR CO-WORKERS HAS ARMS LIKE THIS. YOU ARE SAFE AND HER FOOD IS GOING TO BE AMAZING. And it definitely won’t kill you, at least not right away. Let me warn you tho, if you start eating at “Betty Jean’s” house every day over the course of a few years, you may be hit with high blood pressure or diabetes. But I promise you it will be well worth it.
As for the people who think cooking a casserole for the next work potluck is a good idea. Let me offer this advice. If you’re nasty AF, you kiss your pets in the mouth or you can’t cook and you don’t like to wash your hands when you go to the bathroom. Do me this HUGE FAVOR. And ask yourself this……
Just go ahead and take that “L”, go to your nearest grocery store or your favorite restaurant and let them prepare that potluck dish for you. Your coworkers lives may be depending on you making the right decision.
Yoooooooooooooooooooo Tuesday, November 11th was TREMENDOUS. That’s because Disney dropped its new streaming service. It’s called Disney-Plus and the streets haven’t stopped talking about it. I told people I was getting it for my kids. I said they love Disney movies and shows, so they’ll enjoy it.
Can I keep it 100%, the hell with them kids, I got the new streaming service for me. I have been waiting and counting down the days until it dropped. Now that it’s here, I haven’t been disappointed.
As soon as I woke up on drop day, I jumped out of bed, like a kid on Christmas morning, rushing down to see with Santa left under the tree. I didn’t run to the tree tho, I rushed to my TV. I went to the app store and found it. I downloaded the app and put in my password. So to be honest, I signed up months ago. Just so I could start binging, as soon as possible.
Early on there were a few issues. I had to enter my password a few times but eventually, I was able to log in. Then it took a few mins for movies and shows to pop up. Once I got one tv all hooked up, I went to the other TV and then my devices. Once they were all squared away, I let my kids know about the new app. They were super excited and after breakfast, we started watching Avenger’s End Game. We were having such a good time, we forgot about school and work. Once we realized that time wasn’t on our side, we reluctantly turned the TV off, got dressed and left.
During the day, I scrolled through some of the content and I was amazed. I found so many movies from back in the day. But it wasn’t just the movies, I also found some of my favorite cartoons. I was in AWEEEEEEEE, like the first time Charlie Murphy met Rick James!!!!
I found the X-Men cartoon series, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck and many more. I’m convinced that Disney has now taken over the streaming game.
In the words of one of my favorite rappers from Memphis Playa Fly, “Disney took the cake and ate it and had ice cream with it.” Fly hasn’t really dropped in good music in a while. Nowadays he just posts a bunch of FB live videos, where he drives around doing coke.
But back to Netflix, they were the reigning champs, not anymore. Much like Popeye’s, which came out of nowhere and took the chicken sandwich title for Chick-Fila. Disney-Plus is the “Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich” of streaming services and it appears, they ain’t playing no games.
Growing up I remember watching the all the sitcoms. Sometimes they would air a “special episode.” That episode dealt with a very serious topic or subject matter. Once on “Saved By The Bell”, we learned about the dangers of caffeine pills.
That episode saved my life. Seeing what Jessie Spano went through was heartwrenching. Because of this show, I never once experimented with caffeine pills. There were also “After School Specials” that dealt with hard-hitting issues as well. Those shows inspired me to write about one of the biggest threats to humans everywhere right now. A threat you may not even be know about right now. I’m talking about vaping.
Vaping is DANGEROUS and it has now claimed the lives of 12 people. Do you understand people are dying out here!!! Rightfully so, our elected leaders are working on plans to deal with the public health emergency. They’re talking about banning some of these vaping products in order to keep us safe. Let’s do it I’m all for it.
But while doing some research, I discovered we don’t need to stop there. I’ve discovered a laundry list of other stuff that needs to be banned too. Because they too are killing people.
TRAFFIC LIGHTS need to go. They are responsible for 2,000 deaths a year.
FALLING COCONUTS are also deadly, they kill 150 people a year.
MOSQUITOS kill about 800,000 people a year.
HIGH SCHOOL/COLLEGE FOOTBALL kills around 12 people a year.
CHAMPAGNE CORKS kill around 24 people a year. This will make you think twice about popping bottles.
TRIPPING is also deadly, about 6,000 people die from falls each year.
EATING can kill you too. 3,000 people die each year from choking.
RAW MEAT takes out about 5,000 people each year.
COWS kill about 20 people a year.
WIND is responsible for sending 104 people to the “Crossroads” every year. RIP Uncle Charles.
BEES kill around 100 people a year.
THE COLD cause a lot of slow singing and flower bringing. That’s because it’s responsible for 600 US deaths per year.
AUTOEROTIC ASPHYXIATIONbelieve it or not, kills about 1,000 people each year. WTF????
So I think we need to start banning all of this stuff, from the traffic lights to bees and even the wind and cold. I wanna live in a world where Champagne Corks and Falling Coconuts can’t hurt me. LET’S BAN IT ALL!!!!
Also, I don’t know who needs to hear this, but just say no to “Autoerotic Asphyxiation.” In the words of Too Short, ” If you don’t listen its not my fault. I’ll be getting paid and you’ll be paying the cost.”
This is my review of the Power Season 6 Episode 3 titled, “Forgot About Dre.” Which is also the name of an Eminem song featuring Rapper Dr. Dre. I want to warn you this contains toooooonnnnnns of spoilers.
The first thing I noticed is that the old Power theme/intro song is back from the dead. Power fans went crazy AF when the new season started and the song had been changed. Joe had been replaced with Trey Songz. The streets didn’t like the new version. So “50” changed it back.
The episode starts off banging. You remember Dre, he and his daughter were inside a Fed Safehouse. The agents were just about to take him to a court appearance. When out of nowhere, dudes with guns came out of the woodwork and start shooting up the place. When the smoke clears Donovan, Dre and his daughter are the last people standing. However, Donovan gets hit in the process. But instead of helping the guy get some medical attention; Dre picks up a gun and shoots him. Donovan took a bullet protecting Dre and that’s how he repaid that man. Dre didn’t even say thank you. After the shootout, Dre took off with his daughter.
But he doesn’t get far and the Feds track him down, at what looks like a bus or train station. They took him back to headquarters, unaware that he killed Donovan. They believe he and the other agents were killed by the assassins. Dre is shook and doesn’t want to testify anymore. However, the Feds tell him he has no choice. They say he has to testify against his old boss or he’ll go to jail.
Next, we see Rashard smashing one of his campaign staffers. He answers the phone mid-stroke and the DNC tells him they believe he can become the next governor. So they agree to send him more resources. When Rashard goes back to his campaign headquarters, we learn that the chick he was smashing; is the girlfriend of the guy he beat down in the previous episode.
So Rashard beat the brakes off dude and he beat the brakes off dudes girl’s (you know what). Wow, this dude is taking “L’s” left and right. The DNC sends in hand-picked, experienced campaign staffers. The lady in charge walks thru the door and fires a bunch of Rashard’s people. She basically let everyone know that she’s in charge.
Jason decides to make both Tommy and Ghost go after the leader of the Jimenez Cartel. Who happens to be Jason’s rival. She’s in jail and Dre is set to testify against her. Jason wants either Tommy or Ghost to break her out of jail and bring her to him. Tommy puts together a plan and is somehow able to do it. He pulled it off, by getting help from his crew and his girlfriend Keisha. I still have my doubts about her. She’s trying to be Tasha, but she’s not. Keisha is just not about the drug dealer girlfriend life.
Speaking of Tasha, she’s gone from the penthouse to the outhouse. She’s now trying to find her next “come up.” Tariq comes home to re-up on his drug supply. He’s started his own business at his boarding school. He and Tasha get into it and when Ghost shows up, they all get into an argument. Tasha was like “not today” and she kicks both of them out. Ghost and Tariq later share a moment. But you can see Tariq is just playing on his dad’s emotions. That boy still needs his A** WHOOPED.
Before Tommy and Ghost went after the cartel chick, they both went to Proctor for help with the jailbreak. Proctor doesn’t know it, but the Feds have his daughter’s backpack bugged. I’m not sure if the backpack recorded anything because the daughter took it to another room; while her dad was talking business.
Ghost meets the chick that is now running Rashard’s campaign and they hit it off. So you def know they’ll hook up in the next episode. She invites him and Tasha to be the surrogates for Rashard’s campaign. Tasha agrees but wants some help opening up a daycare.
Once Tommy got the cartel chick, he took her back to Jason’s spot. And that’s when Jason killed her. So now Dre is off the hook. While Tommy and Ghost were trying to kidnap her, they spotted each other. Ghost later called Tommy and told him, they needed to squash the beef. He said they needed to work together to kill Jason. Tommy says hell no. Ghost then confronts Proctor about helping Tommy get the cartel woman. Proctor basically tells Ghost, Tommy is crazy and he had no choice. He advises Ghost to reach out to an old business partner, for cash. Because now Jason wants Ghost to pay him off, for not kidnapping the cartel chick. Ghost also owes Jason for mistakenly killing one of Jason’s guys. But in his defense, he was trying to kill Tommy tho.
I saved the best for last. Yaz is back. That baby didn’t get Judy Winslowed lol. She was also in multple scenes. I was so shocked to see her. The show ended with Tommy saying his signature line. He said he was going to cancel Christmas on Ghost. This has been an awesome season so far, let’s see what happens next week.
So this is a review to the Power Episode. WARNING THERE ARE SPOILERS EVERYWHERE. So read at your own risk!!!!!
So right off the top when the intro song came on, I was like WTF is this? For whatever reason, somebody decided to change it up. But why, the original intro song was awesome. I mean if I did a top five tv theme song vote, Power’s might be in the top 5. Def the top 10. I was already annoyed about that when this episode picked up, where we left off last season. Ghost is with Angie while she is being rushed into the hospital. She’s in bad shape because Tommy shot her.
I don’t understand, what Tommy was thinking. He went there to kill Ghost, but Angie pushed Ghost out of the way and she got shot instead. After shooting Angie, it seems like Tommy was like, I guess I’m good now.
It was like he said to himself, I got a clip full of bullets, but I guess I’ll just save the rest for a rainy day. That was dumb!!! I was expecting Angie to survive, but surprisingly she died. As you can imagine, Angie’s sister is distraught and blames Ghost. Even tho she never liked him, he tries to comfort her. That didn’t go over well.
Meanwhile; Tommy and Tasha are talking about the failed assignation attempt on Ghost. You would think that she would be a little more upset that her friend tried to kill her husband but instead killed his mistress. The mistress who was a FED and kept Tasha, Ghost, Tariq and everyone else she knew out of jail. What can I say tho, a woman scorned!
Tasha is pissed because her new guy, formerly her husband’s attorney, Silver is now missing. She thinks Ghost killed him, but I’m not so sure about that. He is definitely missing. His fam even filed a missing person report with the cops. Tasha is so upset, she went up to that man’s job and found out about all of that.
After the shooting. Tommy gave his gun to Keisha to throw away. Why did she still have the gun in her purse the next day? During breakfast, her son almost discovered it. She freaked out and she grabbed the purse before he found it. That brings me to my next point, the kids on this show are disrespectful AF!!! When I was growing up there was no going in my mother’s purse, unless I had permission. These kids talk to their parents just any kind of ole way. Later when Tommy made it home, Ghost was waiting for him and they started fighting. Tariq walked in and grabbed a gun, that had been kicked across the room. He then ordered his dad and uncle to stop fighting.
At that point, he started talking to his pops, like he was itching for an a** whooping. Ain’t no way Ghost should be letting that boy talk to him like that. Ghost eventually leaves and goes to his club. A short time later, Tasha shows up to talk. That’s when this man explains Angie was dead. He then tells his wife, that was the woman he loved. I’m like bruh, you talking to your wife about your side piece. Tasha brings up her missing and possibly dead side dude, but Ghost is like…..
Tariq is supposed to be at his boarding school, where he was sent after killing the crooked cop, who killed his sister. However, this spoiled a**h*** is just out in them streets, just chilling. His mom catches him skipping school and threatened to take him back. He pleads with her to get an hour to do something. For whatever reason, she agrees. We soon find out he was sent Keenan’s ashes. Keenan, the same guy that Tariq helped his mom get killed last season. I’m still not convinced that Keenan is really dead. I mean if you have been watching, dude has escaped death like a million times.
Tariq asked Tommy to help him pour the ashes out on the rooftop of a building When Tommy put on Bone Thugs, “The Crossroads”, I lost it. During the hood AF wake, Tommy got some of the ashes and put them on his blunt and smoked them.
Since Angie was a Fed, her coworkers are pissed, everyone is blaming themselves or eath other for her getting killed. Once again they’re going after Ghost. The boss gets fired and the new guy takes over. Mr. No Nonsense comes in like, I don’t how yall did things before I got here; but we’re going to solve this case Blah, Blah, Blah.
Tommy also wilds out and shoots one of his disgruntled employees. Later he is nearly killed by Ghost, who was waiting for Tommy and shot up Tommy’s car. Ghost mistakingly killed another guy, who no one really cared about.
It def was a good episode, but I’m left with one question. Where the hell is the other St Patrick kid, Yaz. Please don’t make her the Judy Winslow of this show. Judy just disappeared on, “Family Matters.” She went upstairs one day and was never seen again. That was until she started doing porn. Again tho where is Yaz? She is never with any of the adults. Tasha and her mom were out one night and Yaz wasn’t there. There is no talk of a nanny or babysitter. So who is keeping this baby? That is what I have to know. It’s the burning question that will make or break this season. Where TF is Yaz and is she the key to ending the war between Tommy and Ghost?
So the streets have been talking about this new chicken sandwich. I’m always listening to what the streets are saying, but this talk was troubling. Folks had the “AUDACITY” to say this new sandwich was better than Chick -Fil-A’s version.
I couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t convinced, that Popeyes could make a sandwich that could compete with the reigning Chicken Sandwich King. My favorite character Omar from the HBO series, “The Wire” famously said……
Omar was an amazing and very complex character. And if you have never seen “The Wire”, you need to check it out ASAP. I mean finish reading this first and then go watch it lol.
But back to this battle of over chicken sandwiches. I didn’t want to believe it. But the more people talked about it, the more I wanted to see what the hype was all about. So I set out on a quest. I wanted to get one of these highly coveted sandwiches. I drove to the nearest Popeye’s location and it took 15 mins, just to get into the parking lot. The place was packed. Once I made it into the drive-thru line, there were about 15 cars ahead of me. As I got closer to the drive-thru window, I noticed what looked like handwritten signs. The signs were up on trees and on the doors. Once I read them, my heart sank. The signs said, “We’re out of chicken sandwiches as of 6 pm.” I was about an hour and a half late. I drove home and debated if I would try to do this again tomorrow.
I was on the fence until I saw this tweet. That when I knew, I had to go back.
I was now determined to go back and get one of these sandwiches. Well, make that two. Because I couldn’t leave my wife high and dry. So the next day I tried again. I hoped there would be fewer people out during the middle of the day, but I was wrong.
I found a looooooong line of people just trying to get into the parking lot. It took about 10 mins just to go thru the light. But I learned my lesson the day before, instead of trying to go into the parking lot, I parked across the street. I decided going inside would be the best way to get the sandwiches. When I walked in, there were people everywhere. It was chaotic, to put it mildly (see what I did there lol). There were about 25 people in line waiting to order. At this point I said “F*** it”, I’m here now. I might as well see it all the way through.
I then got into line and started playing the waiting game. There were pretty cool people waiting around me. We talked and joked, which made the time go by faster. Soon there were like 60 people in the lobby, who were all waiting for this damn sandwich. I waited 45 mins until I made it to the register. I was so happy that I made it to the promised land. However, before I could even order, the Popeyes employee, (looking like he had just run a marathon and fought three people, on his way to work), told me it was going to be another 30 min wait for the chicken sandwiches. DAMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
Whatever, I ordered four and two apple pies. I have to say the 20 min wait to get them after I ordered, was the toughest part of the wait. More and more people were showing up now. As they walked in I could hear them asking, ” Do they still have them.” Eventually, I secured that bag.
It took forever to get out of the parking lot and to get home. I can’t lie, I was tempted to start eating that bad boy in the car, but I waited. Once I walked inside the house tho, it was on. I smaaaaaaaaaaaaashed!!!!!! At first, I thought it’s ok. But then as I kept eating it, it got better and better.
In what seemed like a min, the entire sandwich was gone and I wanted more. When I realized it was gone, I stared at the last crumb left on my plate. I then wondered how could this be? How could Popeyes create something like this? I went into this bias AF. I didn’t want to like this new sandwich. But I couldn’t deny that it was amazing. It was well worth the hour-plus, it took to finally get one. So after trying this, I’m convinced that Popeyes is the new chicken sandwich “KING!”
Waaaaaaaiiiiiiitttttttttt!! I know what you’re thinking. But before you freak out, let me make it clear. In the words of the Real House Wife franchise G-O-A-T…
Don’t get me wrong as a father, I definitely think fathers deserve to be honored. I don’t have a problem with that aspect of the day. My problem is that fathers get the short end of the stick. In fact, some fathers don’t even get a piece of the short stick.
You’ve got some mothers who try to hijack the day.
Fathers don’t go around wishing each other a Happy Mother’s Day.
Let’s look at the numbers: The National Retail Federation estimates In 2019, it was people spent around $25 billion on mom. Which translates into about $200 dollars spent on each mom. Mother’s Day is also the second-largest Floral Holiday in the US. If you don’t get those brunch or dinner reservations early, you can forget about going out to eat. If you are lucky enough to make it inside a restaurant, they’re always packed. Moms everywhere, feeling all of the love.
It’s also amazing how almost every business has specials and commercials, geared at guilting you into, “making it rain for mom.” I probably could have used a different analogy there but whatever.
When it comes to dear old Dad, “all he gets is the big piece of chicken,” lol. The spending on Father’s Day is a lot less. In 2019 Fathers Day spending was a measly 16 billion. Do dads get a fresh bouquet of flowers hell no! If you decide to go out to a restaurant, they’re always wide open. So empty you can see tumbleweeds rolling by.
I remember one year when my family took me out for lunch when we showed up to the restaurant, the waiter asked if we were out celebrating anything.
I said we’re here for Father’s Day and he looked surprised. Then he said, I totally forgot about Father’s Day. WTF???
While mom doesn’t have to cook and gets the day off, dads end up sweating outside on the grill. So let me get this straight, not only do we not get the same type of pampering and gifts as a mom; we also have to grill up our own steaks.
How about this we all agree to do better and take Father’s Day more seriously. How about we make Father’s Day Great Again. To be honest tho when was it ever great? How about we buy dad some flowers. I’m sure there are some sports or hunting themed floral arrangements out there. How about taking dad to have a spa day. More and more men are treating themselves to relaxation days. My goal with all of this is to bring some awareness to this huge issue. Read my lips….You should pamper your father or at least ask him what he wants, so you can make his day special. Put some thought into his gifts for once.
Whatever you do, please don’t just go to the 99 cent store and buy him another ugly a*# tie and some lame socks. Can we officially take toolsets off the gift list too?
I’m the Krazy Drunk Uncle and I approve this message.
Growing up I thought my uncles were crazy AF! I used to laugh and crack jokes at their expense. They would show up to the cookouts, family reunions, weddings, funerals, ect…you get it the point! All the events where the fam would get together. Their outfits would be “casket sharp clean”, as they like to say.
Think old dude in the club, trying to holla at the young girls type apparel, and that kinda gives you an idea what I’m talking about.
However; that “fit” as the kids now say, would not be complete without the signature hat. Which would be the classic Kangol or the Fedora.
But that was just the dress-up events, Wait til you saw them at the cookout. Their BBQ gear would be next level, with shorts and high tube, 70’s basketball with the different color stripes, type socks.
They always had a face towel/washcloth to wipe away the sweat. Their shirts would be some kind of short-sleeve button-down, with the top three or four buttons undone. The “wife-beater” tank tops would be hanging out just underneath, breaking through because of the open buttons.
Which of course meant the “taco meat would be on full display for everyone to see.
My uncles were always sipping on something, and by something, I’m talking about brown L-I-Q-U-O-R. They always had a red cup or a brown paper bag in their hands. That good “drank” had their s*** talking game on point. Whether it was at the spades table or just in general. They would go on and on about the good ole days. They would talk and talk about all of their old flames back in the day and about the music of their era. How they didn’t make music the same anymore and how the new artist were trash.
Me and some of my boy were recently reminiscing about our Krazy a** uncles. Then it hit us like a ton of brick……
