It’s Our Centennial, B*tches!

**CLICK ME!!!**

Yes ladies and gentlemen, today…yes today, we celebrate our 100th post!!!!

*screams and applause*

First off, we’d like to thank each and every one of you who venture to our beloved VSB.com site and also to everybody who comments here, whether you’ve commented once or a million times. Thank you a thousand times over. Without you all, we’d both have failed to live up to the legacy of Johnson and Randolph who lost their lives in 1913.

But thanks to you all, their memory lives on!

With that said, we’re also going to pass the 25,000 comment mark sometime today. And get this, neither of our mothers has left a single one. That, my friends, is an accomplishment. Just ask Hot Stylez, whose mothers are going to buy all of their albums that actually get sold.

So we’d like to do a few things here today in commemoration of our 100th post. And we’d also like to make a request or two:

1) We’d like for everybody who stops by to drop us a line and let us know where you’re from or something. Tell us something interesting about yourself. And yes this includes the long-timers because believe it or not, we plan to throw shindigs across the nation and it would help us to know where you all are. It doesn’t make any sense for us to throw that party in Butte, Montana, when nobody actually lives there…and by the way, we’re canceling that event, though the Butte Chamber of Commerce is going to be really upset. Besides…who doesn’t like to put on for their city???

For kicks…Panama puts on for Washington, DC, and The Champ puts on for the Pittsburgh aka the ‘Burgh.

2) We’d like you to go check out the t-shirt store we have opened. Now it doesn’t have all of the shirts yet, but we’re moving in the right direction, no? Check.It.Out. Buy one. Buy twelve. Our mothers? Definitely exhibiting major coppage. Be like Mike.

Also, here are the winners of the vsb.com t-shirt quote poll.

“And no you’re not overanalyzing, you’re just a woman.deviant

“Breed carefully people!“—the hostess

“black women are the bangingest“—the champ

“I am an asshole, and I am ok with that”—luvvie

“Smart b*tches have drama too”—goodeness

“its hard out here for an abstinent pimp“—Abcde A-Lexus

Now in real VSB form, we’d be remiss if we didn’t do something to commemorate this momentous occasion. So what we decided to do was create some awards for the people who keep us afloat by venturing to our dear VSB.com (we’re working on our alma mater right now, Ne-Yo’s writing it)…follow along…

The VSB.com 100 Post Anniversary Commentator Awards

the boris and idris memorial, to the person who consistently leaves the most panty-wetness inducing comments goes to: d*stroy, who also has the honor of being the father of the youngest vsb.com fan.

the stan award, which goes to the fan who most consistently goes above and beyond, is actually a two-way tie between ms. patterson and the wise diva, two women who, from emailing sample topics to relentlessly plugging us in their own circles, have done everything possible to allow the gospel of vsb.com to grow.

the goodeness corner award, for the most consistently outrageously entertaining comments, goes to, you guessed it, the goodeness herself…a woman who also has the distinct honor of receiving an award named after herself. good job and sh*t. 1st runner up, and probable 2009 winner: luvvie

the mike eric dyson award, for semi-coherent yet always compelling longwindedness goes to genius khan, who we’ve become convinced is either a mensa chapter president or an inmate at leavenworth

the wes mantooth award for best screenname is a three-way tie between eff yo couch, tits mcgee, and westindianarchie

the krs-one award for never missing a single hip-hop reference no matter how obscure or randomly placed in a post goes to miss t-lee who’s made panama strive to throw as much random hip-hop into posts as possible and start to name drop more songs than The Game.

the Yolanda Springer Povich award for consistently managing to ask questions and approach topics like a talk-show host who’s trying to incite a riot and simultaneously spread knowledge to the masses goes to the hostess, who always finds a way to bring some insightful and personal twist to the random f*ckery that goes down here at vsb.com

the john witherspoon in boomerang award for telling it like it is goes to Deviant, who is ALSO up for the award for the most interesting method of procuring women with the hand-on-ti**y method which to date hasn’t worked for 98 percent of all those who’ve tried it

the rico suave award for getting more than enough women hot enough to try to locate his nightclub in Washington DC so they can find out if his bark is as good as his bite…and vice versa goes to Big Buck who can also tell you exactly how to talk yourself into a nightclub, assuming you’re a hot chick

the gustav harsford award for feeling like family goes to Monk who’s been reading both of us and commenting for so long that we’re either paying him or he must be family that we feel like we know the brotha, he also managed to slaughter all opponents back in the day during the blog rap battles at panama’s site…thanks Monk

******

We’d like to once again thank you all for helping make VSB.com what we are. We do the best we can to provide interesting topics but the fact is that as much is gleaned from the comments as our actual posts themselves. As we push forward and continue to move towards the 200th and 300th post and so on and so forth we hope that you all stick along for the ride and help us continue to grow.

You know what to do in the comments (see above), and if you have any awards you want to nominate someone for, shout them out.

Also, check our ubiquitous asses out on Facebook and Myspace if you haven’t done so already. We major, come on homie, we major and sh*t.

Keep bangin’.

Thanks,

Very Smart Brothas (and Liz)

    • thanks for the support…we fully intend to keep it thoro…

      i used to have this running theory that Houston had the absolute hottest women in the nation based on empirical data studies conducted in every major city i’d venture to upon finding out that a small majority (lol) were from Houston.

      now i think all the hot chicks are from Cheyenne, Wyoming.

      • I dunno P…we keep it hot here in Houston…don’t be scarred…we grown and sexy…and we don’t flex b.. southern’ lovin’ is the best… dont get it twisted wink ( ;
        ( much repsect to P’s girl who reads this post )

  6. This is the first time I have ever encountered a post with less then 200 comments by the time I get to it…therefore I feel its a sign that I should comment.

    Been lurking for a while, love the site, highly educational and hilarious (unbeatable combo).

    I hail from the lovely Los Angeles…come out and party with us…there are some lovely ladies out here reading your site!

  7. *GASP* Umm although I didn’t win the Corner award, and was a runner-up, to be mentioned in the same breath as Goode is an extreme honor. I KNEW’d that one day, my IG would be recognized.

    *Pulls out paper* *Unfolds*

    I’d like to thank my Mama, b/c without her, the awesomeness that is ME would not exist. I’d also like to thank Jesus for, you know, holding down heaven (although I’ve been told I’m going somewhere hot). Lastly, I’d like to thank my lack of good sense for getting me to where I’m at today. Oh, and to RayRay an’ em on Lockdown. See? You TOO can be where I am today. Just finish your time, and come on VSB!

    *1 dramatic teardrop*

    With that being said: LUVVIE ’09!!!

    Oh, and I’m from Chicago, IL aka Wendy aka the Midwest New York aka the best effing city after Walla Walla.

  8. Oh, and congrats to P-Money, Champ (my fave egghead) and Liz (the token hottie) for the 100 posts. If VSB was crack, I’d have no teeth. I LOVE YALL!!

      • “If VSB was crack, I’d have no teeth. I LOVE YALL!!”

        exactly why you’ll be replacing goodeness in the corner very soon

        REPLACE!!??!? I think I’m getting light headed…go ito the light Carol Anne!

          • this entire thread betwinxt Luvvie, sisanda, Miss Patt, Goody and Champ concerning Luv’s apprenticeship in Goody’s corner is going to get all of u thrown in a hell so hot Constantine, Gabriel, Bishop Jakes, Benny Hinn and the holyghost could not redeem ur soul from.

            LMBAO!

  9. Congratulations!!! I am so glad I found this site. I mean not only are the topics entertaining and thought provoking, but the commentors represent the spectrum of black thought and experience and showcase the fact that being black in America is anything BUT one dimensional. I love it!

    l I am from the place known for Making Easy Money Pimping H*’s In Style!!! Interesting facts about me are:
    I have perfectly spaced toes (verified by a podiatrist and several ninja’s with foot fetishes) I don’t even need that little toe thingy when getting a pedicure…
    I was once placed under citizen’s arrest (this is a real thing) and actually spent the weekend in jail because of it…. I was runner up in a College pageant where my talent was dressing in lingerie and licking whip cream off a strawberry at which time dude (he was designated strawberry bringer outer with a killer body. you know something for the ladies) shoved it in my mouth and had to practically give me the Heimlich maneuver….which either cost me the crown or catapulted me from obscurity, you be the judge……
    Oh and I am the only person in the history of my high school to score perfect reading and verbal scores on my ACT and the SAT ( I did not receive overall perfect scores because I cant do simple math)…which is an honor for me but kind of sad for my school…..A fact that I used for monetary game my last year in high school and first year of college….don’t ask don’t tell
    And last thing the other claim to fame I had in high school is being know for missing a month of majorette practice and showing up to perform without knowing they had made changes in the routine and very obviously making my own routine up in the middle of the performance for the homecoming pep rally. Said routine included splits and back bends as if I was the head majorette, which I was not, by the way.

    • “I was runner up in a College pageant where my talent was dressing in lingerie and licking whip cream off a strawberry”

      are you sure this wasn’t a p*rn audition?

      • Shay-d-lady…Um did you go compete in the Ms. Maroon and White or the Miss Graves Hall pageant at Morehouse? Actually did you compete in any pageant at Morehouse College? Hmm, maybe you were one of the Tiger Cheerleaders? I swore I saw this talent. You were great! lol

      • AWWW what you know about majorettes and drummers?
        Yeah I am quirky,hot tempered thuggerd (thug +nerd) with ADHD…it has made for quite an interesting life

    • Shayd melikes ur independent unapologetic confident style. the high school majorette story. aghast. luvvvs it.

      principals daughter in high school competed in a talent show and all she did was pole dance with no pole. kept her crotch showing (red panties) and then got caught at the after party (nother location) givin it up in a car. brash brazen.

      Salute!

      • Thanks I definitely do things my way..However,I was so green when it came to men and s.e.x and quite the prude until recently but I was wild in them streets!!! LOL

  10. Congratulations!!!!!

  11. just wanted to say congrats to you two and all the winners out there!! I may not be able to comment everyday, but I will say that since I was introduced to the site by elinda and tecia, I have had to get my fix on a daily basis!!

All of you make my days fun and exciting and give me great insight into the minds of others, giving me the laughter I need to make it through the day!!

  15. Congrats VSB!!!!! I’m addicted to this site and find the posts very insightful and entertaining at the same time. You keep me constantly laughing too! I’m from Eritrea and live in Seattle now. Congrats to all of the winners too:)

  16. ***VSB rules***
    Congratulations to Champ, P-Money and Liz
    Love you all for giving me my daily dose of madness and speeding up the learning process for some of us young ‘uns. We don’t have to learn the hard way we’ve got the experience of all the other VSB’ers to guide us. For that you get a meal on me if you ever decide to come holiday on this side. ( Think of it as a culinary journey into Kenyan food. )

    However I nominate Sisanda and myself for the VSB global ambassador award. I’m in Nairobi, Kenya totally preaching the VSB gospel to my peeps here.

    Technically a willing addict of VSB, I’m lucky to have a boss who does not say anything when he sees the VSB logo on my laptop.

    Love all of you and you got to keep this going another couple of million posts or so.

  17. To Quote the Honorable Rick James “VSB.com is a powerful drug”

    { water vapour precipitates against my cornial cavity, creating a global of water which may be misinterpreted as a tear} I totally love all of you guys [No homo], to me you guys (the entire VSB Fam) are like the one black family that had a television set in the whole neighbourhood, i wish i could stay here for ever!!!

    So to the VSB admin ( The P, The Champ, and Ms. Liz), to the VSB Fam, this toast is to you all!!!!!!!!!!! (sheeeeit now i need to take sick leave tomorrow, f**kit let’s drink to it)

    Rick Jamez Beeeyaaaaitch

    P.S we should like make a VSB mixtape, employ like DJ Khaleed to be shouting “We de best!!” every bar, i spit some mad ish and like flood the market with the madness that is VSN.com who would you guys like to feature on the mixxtape or what songs could we do over with our verses, songs that embody what we feel here at VSB.com

    • “who would you guys like to feature on the mixxtape or what songs could we do over with our verses, songs that embody what we feel here at VSB.com”

      panama’s our resident music guru. i’m sure he’ll get back to you with that one

    • lol…we’d definitely need DJ Khaled there.

      we should get Plies since I think “bust it baby” has been mentioned on this site more than any other song. Jay-Z “ignorant sh*t”…

      i’ll think on this…we might be able to jumpstart your career Sisanda…plus i make beats and produce records (there’s a difference)…

      • I will find you and stab you 100 times with a rusty butta knife if buss it baby is on the mixxtape…..

    • “I rep the dope girl fresh DC of the US of A.”

      for some reason i assumed you lived in the d. this is why i shouldnt make assumptions before i’ve had my toast

              • “i actually meant dayton, ohio. i dont know why, but you just seem like a dayton type of chick”

                So she seems like a blue collar moderate who gets pandered to by both political parties during elections?

              • “So she seems like a blue collar moderate who gets pandered to by both political parties during elections?”

                I was gonna just flow with this label, pull out my encyclopedia britannica and take myself on a “reading rainbow” and see where I can identify. I’ve only come up with Paul Dunbar, but I’ll keep checking.

  20. Wow, 100! Congrats! When I come into work, before I read my email, before I turn on my internet radio, I log ontoVSB.com to see what’s the word for the day! Thank y0u!
    O-a lil’ something about myself? Reppin Detroit! And will mos def be getting an award for the Bicentennial! Keep it funky!

    • “Congrats VSB! I’ ve only been patched into the site for apx 3 weeks but you’re now on my daily “must check” blog list!”

      welcome to the fam and sh*t

    • i used to stay in hyattsville…or as the two gangs i started like to call it, “the ville where we get hy-att”

        I am laughing so hard at this sh1t…it just tickles me something serious!

      • LMAO @ gangs in Hyattsville. Those suburbanites are the ones that came up w/that God-awful “DMV” after the Chocolate City got so Vanilla’d up.

    • Toy Sold i don’t know about Hyattsville but i be john f. killinem in oxen hills md. we burn trees and plant seeds. ohh but that’s another story, my bad…

  22. In the familiar words of The Champ, “Thanks and sh*t.”

    This award is just more evidence that the folks here at VSB recognize and respect our awesome. From all of us to all of you, you are welcome.

    Deviant is East Coast and everything about us is interesting.

    • Deevs congrats homie!

      keep tellenem what it really is. u know me i love keeping up sh*t and nothing does it like the real.

  24. Congrats on the 100th post, thanks for making my work days go a little faster..lol.

    And I too put on for DC!

    Interesting fact: My birthday is in 13 days…

      • “might be time to start planning the dc happy hour…”

        Oh, I will hate SO HARD! I’ll be in the Chi hoping someone spills they liquor.

        • Aight Luvvie n GoodE. Shoot Illadelph is pretty slim and 2 hr ride for happy hour ain’t worth it. Me n couch lookin boy would have to car pool just to even concider it.

          • I wouldn’t mind taking the trip to DC. I used to hit up DC, when DC Live was the hot spot. So I guess a road trip is in order. Let me just warn you I drive live I live in NYC, so we would be in DC in about 45 minutes

              • The Dan Ryan is NUTTY!! I often tell folks who irritate me to go stand in Dan Ryan traffic. in rush hour. They get my point quick.

              • I’ve never tasted the Dan Ryan but I definately could see people in strait jackets from the insane asylum driving bumper cars down that highway safer than shucks any given moment of day or night. Shoot N E time you doin 90 miles an hour and someone comes shooting past you in bumper to bumper traffic. Not even “moving on your left” they on the right. uh smh gooossfraaabbah. but that’s where I go to make believe I’m a secret agent in a borne film or something.

      • I will be front and center @ a DC VSB happy hour. I don’t care if I just got to VSB. I get in where I fit in…and that’s everywhere, considering my Cool Factor.

  25. congrats vsb!!! i agree with many of the previous posters….vsb gets the day going for sure. my question is, where do people work that allows them to stay online all day and post??! lol……

    representing ATL/DC…factoid: i’m a therapist

    • “where do people work that allows them to stay online all day and post??! lol……”

        bless your heart.

      • oh and tell your peeps at the plantation to stop playing with those bmw performance driving and racing clinics they used to have on closed courses…that was the best place to meet black men and so much fun. A good cause and black men…goes hand in hand.

        • we just had it! the pink bmw goes on tour around the country and the drive happens when the car gets to a dealrship near you…gmail me and I will tell you when your is…

          • they used to take it on actual courses and you would have your own professional driver and he’d make you watch a video about performance driving. he would lecture a little…and you would practice and then you could race other teams.

            and then you could drive all the cars.

            Why did they stop doing that..I’ll gmail you, because that put a serious dent in my early spring social life.

    • The PBG is a SuperNanny. My boss is 5 months old and doesn’t know a thing about the intrawebs yet. He busies himself chewing on stuff and peeing his pants. I can surf the web at my leisure.

CLEVELAND STAND UP!!!!!

  26. man i wish i couldve gotten an award…but alas im just not a big commenter

    i guess im repping gville and west palm beach!!!

    (bitting off sky) my bday was yesterday!!! interesting fact, i was apart of florida girl’s state!

  27. Thanks for the award, it’s really an honor but I couldn’t have done it without God, the help of Rick James, Charlie Murphy, and Dave Chappelle.

    Once again congrats and sh*t to the good people over at VSB. If it wasn’t for visiting this site, my soul crushing job would have caused me to do devious things like stealing my co-workers lunch out of the break room refrigerator, visiting rude.com on my employer’s computer, purposely downloading harmful virus to the company’s computer system, etc.

    So thank you VSB for making my long work day more bearable.

    ps – Like Will Smith I’m “West Philadelphia born and raised at the” Weed Spot is where I spent most of my days . . . holla!!!

      I seriously laughed until I could not breath

      You sir are a model employee @ eff yo couch. I’m so glad your power animal told you to blog.

  28. Congratulations and sh*t!

    I knew there was a reason that I added a lil sumtin sumtin to my coffee this morning. There was a celebration going on & I must have felt it in my heart.

    • “I knew there was a reason that I added a lil sumtin sumtin to my coffee this morning”

      so you’re telling me you had a white russian and didn’t save any for me??

      • Ummmmmmmm no?! (as I struggle to make eye contact)

        I wanted to wait until you arrived to make sure it was nice and fresh!

        • “I wanted to wait until you arrived to make sure it was nice and fresh!”

          if i had a dollar for every time a woman said that to me this week, i’d have at least 1 dollar

  29. Big Ups Champ Liz n Panama n em (alphabetical order yall) !) & Big ups to all the award winners. I know I’ve enjoyed something all of you have posted before. Keep it up everybody. Scotch Bourbon and Beer all around.

    I’m a migrator who now calls ILLADELPH Home. I took a brain hemispherical dominance test in college. The results came back and I was about even. No apparent hemispherical dominance. & my brother who came on once ottodraw told me about this site says that I am one of the funniest people he knows but not on purpose.

    • “No apparent hemispherical dominance”

      sidenote: this was actually my original nickname, before i decided to settle on “the champ”

      i’m glad i chose the champ, and so are my thumbs

  30. “where do people work that allows them to stay online all day and post??! lol……”

    Let’s just say I’m part of the reason why people’s health claims don’t get paid in a timely manner. And I’m able to be on VSB all day because I’ve mastered the art of making my internet window the size of a credit card

    • “And I’m able to be on VSB all day because I’ve mastered the art of making my internet window the size of a credit card”

      That makes two of us…lmao

    • “Let’s just say I’m part of the reason why people’s health claims don’t get paid in a timely manner”

      I hope not for any flex spending accts or blue cr#oss. Im waiting on a reimbursement right now..Couchie…get off the couch and cut my check dam@mit! for my glasses.

  31. “the krs-one award for never missing a single hip-hop reference no matter how obscure or randomly placed in a post goes to miss t-lee who’s made panama strive to throw as much random hip-hop into posts as possible and start to name drop more songs than The Game”

    Aw dayum!!! I’m blushing and ish, and that doesn’t happen often.
    Thanks for the love, and thank ya’ll for keeping a chick madd entertained at the J. Keep those references coming, I’m waiting to point them out. You know I love the site. :)

    Oh yeah… about me I’m from the ATX (Austin, TX), I spend way too much time reading and going to concerts. That is of course when I’m not at my day job as a corporate peon or at school trying to earn my degree (Psychology) for the 95th time.

  32. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GUYS!!! I don’t know who turned me on to the site, but I’ve been coming here every since.

    I’m a southern girl–born and raised. I’ve lived and traveled all over the US and I love meeting new people. I am also a national best-selling author of several books. So when you feel like being entertained and want something to read outside of the internet, pick up one of my books…smile

    Keep doing what you’re doing and my favorite tshirt quote is “Breed carefully people!”

  33. Morning all, and congrats to the bruhs and Ms. Liz on the 100th post! I appreciate y’all for helping me get through my day with the most entertaining topics lol!
    Anywhoo, said it before, will say it again…I hail from Space City USA…Houston, TX.
    Something interesting about me…um, I love all things sci-fi…and I’m a serious Trekkie. I missed the convention they had in Vegas this year by a few weeks…I had been there in same hotel at the beginning of the month for my sorority conference…made me sad.

  34. * Im ready to get off the bench and EXPRESS MYSELF, hey hey hey, hey! *

    Im from the DC area and I was hired to save the world from itself but then I found this site and realized somethings need to be put on the back burner. I love this site! It makes me smile and think all at the same time. I think this year’s performance evaluation will show my growth in these areas. :) Keep up the good word! Yay!!!!!

    • “Im from the DC area and I was hired to save the world from itself but then I found this site and realized somethings need to be put on the back burner”

      • you got that right…sheeeet, don’t forget about unintentionally getting folks kicked out of grad school. this site has a way of making you forget that you’re supposed to be writing for SCHOOL not for P-Money and The Champ.

    • It’s funny that you mention the Performance Evaluation, because I’m writing up mine while reading the comments.
      Thank god they haven’t blocked this site yet or I’d have to put the tax payer’s money to good use.

  35. I have been stalking VSB for months now. Never commenting, but silently lurking in the background. But don’t worry..I’ve been helping to save the planet by dropping VSB knowledge on all the Bitter Ass Bastards and Diva Dudes that I know!!!

    Congrats on the 1ooth!

    I’m from that H-Town (used to live down the street from the Mexican)

  36. I love Centennials :-D ! So CONGRATULATIONS!!!

    I don’t comment all that much (billable hours are a B!TCH), but I do check in daily and truly enjoy the posts and comments following. Keep up the good work.

    I put on for NYC (Brooklyn to be exact!), but I might be making a move back to my hometown, ATL.

    Congratulations again!

  37. Congrats to VSB’s Mommy, 2 Daddies, and all the award winners!!!

    If it wasn’t for yall…
    1. I would have smacked the 2 dentist I work with.
    2. People on the train wouldn’t look at me like I’m crazy because I’m crackin up and wiping tears from my eyes
    3. I wouldn’t be able to share all your words of wisdom with the unwilling listeners at work (who, by the way, now ask if I am reading and what does it say)
    So again I say congrats and keep up the good work.

    Something about me…
    I’ve been told I’m a hater, but those people were just jealous. LOL.
    I’m from “the state of Philly” (Lil Mama’s words not mine, damn hip hop is in trouble)

      • Yeah she said it 2x. I heard a clip from that dance show she judges on. There was a group from a town close to Philly and she said they were an inspiration to the young people. Cause with all the killings last year the State of Philly is in trouble.

      • They are father and son. The father likes to tell jokes. He is funny, but once he pisses you off ish just ain’t funny anymore. He works from 5:30-5 pm and will over pack the schedule. He works like he owes a bookie who is gonna break his 3 legs. He is constantly telling you stuff that you already know, because he has told you 20x already. He’ll ask me if I’m grumpy and I’ll ask if he wants to know why, but he never wants to know. He is a smart man…lol.
        The son tries to be funny, but sucks ass. He is a know-it-all, self proclaimed metrosexual, who tries to fit in and use his intelligence to make friends. He knows that I don’t really care for him or want to work with him, but he will ask me if I have been avoiding him. When I do work with him, he says “all you do is shake your head at me. ” (That is because I am shaking all the bad thoughts away.) Cause he had an effed up childhood the whole office has to suffer. So I have told myself that I am going to be “me” at work. Why do I see trouble in my future? So with all that being said VSB is my therapy. Wooooooossaaaaah!!! Damn I have 3 days off and still feel like I was at work. Can I get off the couch now, Champ?

        • “Can I get off the couch now, Champ?”

          this is the 41st consecutive day a woman’s asked me that question.

          i usually don’t respond. i just nod and walk away

        • the father/son dentist duo brings about a bad flashback!!!!…the son was my dentist and he was trife ala your description.

      • Just wanted to stop through and say congrats, kinda late but hey the party aint a party until the end anyway, nah mean.

        A sista see the philly area in here representing already. What up. Lol. Currently residing in the 1st state. Delaware for those not up on history. Born and raised outside of Philly in a smaller city called Chester so u know the hood can come out when needed *said as I spike the punch.

    • R’Tyst i dub thee R’tsie fartsie.

      heh, heh, heh (inhale) whoooooo!

      i know you got some mouth stories. come on wit it…

      • I am honored that you have considered me so special to “dub” me, but i have to veto the name.

  38. Congrats VSB and 08 Award Recipeants!!!

    I am making it my business to be on the recieving end of an award in 09. Even if it is ‘The Failure Award’, for the chick who aimed and missed.

    I am from Baltimore, living in Atlanta. Interesting facts about me: I attended an All Girl Public High School.
    One of my good friends and I met in college when we found out we were dating the same guy. It amazed everyone how cool she and I became after finding out we were screwing the same dude for 4 months.
    My friends and family have told me the fact that I dont lose my temper scares them. My aunt said, ‘You are the type of MF’er who will snap, kill a ninja and go fix some cheese eggs after.’

    • “One of my good friends and I met in college when we found out we were dating the same guy. It amazed everyone how cool she and I became after finding out we were screwing the same dude for 4 months.”

      well, i guess you all had a common bond and sh*t

    • “One of my good friends and I met in college when we found out we were dating the same guy. It amazed everyone how cool she and I became after finding out we were screwing the same dude for 4 months.”

      yeah, so you totally need to explain how that happened…and by “that” i mean the becoming good friends part.

      “girl i can’t believe he’s screwing BOF’us…you like IHOP cuz i like IHOP. let’s go eat.”

      • LOL. Well looking back on it, I have to respect his gansta. Some HBCU folks will know there is a organization on campus called Pre-Alumni Council (student fund raising for UNCF). Well in college I was elected to the National Board. He was the President and she was given an appointed position. We all were attending school in different states (me-GA, him-SC, her-NC) so we didnt see each other daily, but we had to meet in a different state at least once a month to handle business for the organization. Long story short, after he kept pushing up on me I agreed to see him on one condition..NO ONE is to know what we are doing. Strictly business in public. Little did I know he had the same condition with her. He would continue to see her as along as she didnt tell anyone.

        So we are in Daytona for a regional conference and he and on the final night I sneak in his room and we spend a good part of the evening doing what grown folks do. Well I got stuck in his room because folks decided to have a party in the hall on his floor. And there was NO WAY I was going to let folks see me coming up out of there at that time of time. In the morning I go to sneak out and she is sitting on the floor in front of his door crying, she’d been there since 3 in the morning. This of course forces him to come clean and she and I tripping hard because all kinds of sh!t starts to make sense. Like why he never really wanted us on committees together or why he always wanted to know our flight info or why he always tagged along on our girls lunches.

        She and I ended up comparing war stories and I felt bad for her because she really is a genuinelly nice, good hearted person and loved him. For me he was just something to do for fun. That same week she had her aunt die in her arms and called me crying after that he really was a non factor in our relationship with each other.

        • Sug chix be killen me how they will compare notes on a dude over a waffle. dudes wont hardly do this.

          hug urself…

          • i found myself comparing notes over minestrone soup at olive garden….she and i had to come together, he was so crazy that she and i were the only ones who could possibly believe the sociopathic terror that we went through. if we didn’t have each other to compare notes, we would’ve thought we were the crazy ones…thank God for endless soup and salad!

        • “In the morning I go to sneak out and she is sitting on the floor in front of his door crying, she’d been there since 3 in the morning.”

          **number 188 on the list of “possible negative effects of good pipe”**

          • yeah she needed an ssa punch or two. Some inapropriate growling.

            I could see em becoming friends though cuz chicks bond when they go through something together.

    • One of my good friends and I met in college when we found out we were dating the same guy. It amazed everyone how cool she and I became after finding out we were screwing the same dude for 4 months.

      hey! that happened to me TWICE…but I had to leave them both alone cuz they ignit @sses went back…smh

  39. I’d like to thank the academy!! I’d like to thank all the bosses who said I couldn’t do it cus I should be working. I’d like to thank the Very Smart Brothas because without you I wouldn’t have a place to drop bombs. OK, well I would–but I’d be awardless. I’d like to thank my parents. Without them getting preggers while they were engaged, they probably would have never actually married and I would have never made it here. I’d like to thank Spice 1. He’s inspired me. I’m not sure how, but he has. I’d like to thank Ms. Willie B. Gibson. Without her, I wouldn’t know what a gerund is!

    Finally, I’d like to thank the Obamas!!!! Yo! B, get at me…

    *starts to stagger off stage with wine in hand but turns and grabs mic…*

    Yo!! VSB used a quote of mine on a shirt?? Where’s my cut or free shirt? I wear a small. Don’t make me have to get my lawyers after y’all. I got Levitz, Bergerstien, and Saraowinski on speed dial!

    • “Yo!! VSB used a quote of mine on a shirt?? Where’s my cut or free shirt? I wear a small. Don’t make me have to get my lawyers after y’all. I got Levitz, Bergerstien, and Saraowinski on speed dial!”

    • well we got Cochran!

      *phone ringing*

      Panama: WHAT?!?!?!?! When?!?!?! Does DMX know that? You’re kidding…he did WHAT?!?! But…so who’s gonna…F*CK.

      *cutting Hostess a check*

      • Speaking of DMX, I was listening to his first CD this morning. He’s one sick BASTARD!! I don’t remember ever really paying attention to the words but uh the song where he talks about raping a 15 year old distrurbed me so much I had to turn him off and listen to some Brian ‘beat a b*tch’ McKnight to calm my nerves.

        • That’s the one about duct taping that dudes daughter.
          Yeah, he was sick, but I’m still a DMX fan.
          boom, boom, boom, open the door, ATF.

          • Congrats t-lee and DMX is the man. even though he had lyrics about raping ur grandmother… star of “Belly” Cult Classic. .birthed all the Rough Rider clique. bad boy. who u know say the same phrase twice in his rap with totaly diff meanings.

            dude gotta sick flow though and a deep philosophical and spiritual side. torn….. rated X

            (arf arf)

            • dude gotta sick flow though and a deep philosophical and spiritual side. torn….. rated X

              This is what drew me to his crazy arse.

            • Yeah DMX was the shyt.Talk about painting pictures and telling a story….I live by the song here we go again…. Same ole shyt dog just a different day…and my number 1. life rule…if its f*ck me ninja then you know its f*ck you…..but My all time favorite joint is that look through my eyes joint off the first album

        • I guess you won’t be listeing to BIG’s “Life After Death” again either. Then again he didn’t lay claim to “kidnapping kids, fcuking them in the arse and throwing them over the bridge”. He blamed it all on Dgutta. Isn’t that snitching by the way? Wait am I dry snitching?

          • Isn’t that snitching by the way? Wait am I dry snitching?

            the eternal question…LOL.

            I blame hip-hop and jim jones for making this a dilemma for Black men nationwide.

        • yes he is sick….DMX is the reason i knew what the word nechrophilia meant at a young age….i lik’d ta dropped the dictionary when realized what he was talking about. shame.

      • That is what I was wondering. Do you think she needs to expound? I’d like to hear it. Shoot Spice 1 used to get my day started back when he was hot.

        • Uh, I’ve listed to HALF of the Spice 1 CD and for the life of me, I don’t know why I’d buy this. It’s horrible. He’s such an angry violent dude. The beats aren’t even hot. Sheesh! What was I ON?

          The Murda Show? Really? He’s kidding right?

      • I JUST got an iPod and while loading music, I discovered I owned:

        a B2K CD
        Spice 1
        EVERY Brian McKnight CD ever made
        The College Boys
        Portrait
        All-4-One
        AMG
        All od Jay-Z’s CD’s
        Norah Jones
        Jon B

        …well y’all get the point

        • AMG falling out in the floor laughin. I remember my bro n sis gettin beat down for staying after hours in a club to see him perform. tooo funny

            • Yo DJ Quik was cool when he tried to come back I remember catching some song w/ a live band he was singin the hook talkin bout ‘might not get no radio play but I prolly get some (kitten) for this’ I thaught it was hot.

              • im like the 2nd biggest dj quik fan ever. right after his momma. i was number 3 but the 2nd place slot opened up after he pulled a gun on his sister.

                poor sister jackie…especially after she showed him how to cook that white back when he was back in the Trees, Westside if you please.

              • hey I like Quick…..you know Memphis…is just like compton.. But he did some hot production on several of Eightball and Mjb joints….I heart Ball and G!!!

              • Quick’s first “commercial/major label album “Quick is the Name” was game changing. birth of AMG. B*ich betta have my money, Jeanine’s a d*ck fiend. …and he did some production on Snoops latest album “Ego Trippin” which i think is hott to death. listen and u tell me. plus Quick still look like he did in 93. WTF. i know Michael Jackson jealous as hell.

                i like some of the most abstract avant-garde rap acts from the ol skool.

                if somebody say they know RBL Posse from San Fransisco the album was “A Lesson to be Learned” featured lot of early Prince samples and a gangsta funk rap style in the vein of D.J. Quick AMG, Snoop and them niccas. (that enitre album was the sh*t.)

                somebody lemmeknow.

    • *starts to stagger off stage with wine in hand but turns and grabs mic…*

      LMAO. Please don’t pull a Jo-Jo and pass out on the floor, while your bodyguard politely walks past you, picks up your mic/wine bottle and keeps it moving to the backstage.

  40. Congratulations to the three of you. I have been reading for the past 3 or 4 months which I guess means that I have been reading from the start (had no clue it was the start). Anyway, I really enjoy the blog and I have spread the good gospel of VSB to friends. Big ups to you all.

    I live and work in Washington DC, just moved back here in November. I would love to get a drink and get to know those of you that are local.

    • “I have been reading for the past 3 or 4 months which I guess means that I have been reading from the start”

      yeah…we started in april so you’re pretty close.

      • This is true but the only difference is that I just recently started really reading the comments and commenting myself. That in and of itself is a “whole nuva level”. I mean the writing you two do is great but there are some “special” people on here that comment, definitely helps get me through not only the morning but a majority of the day. I am just mad that I don’t have time to read all the comments and respond as I would like. I truly love and appreciate the amalgamation of people on this site. I have never ever really fit into a particualr category of people because as I have been told I come off too smart, hood, bold, aloof, laconic, bourgeois, innocent (don’t get that as much nowadays) apathetic, nerdy and arrogant and there are some others. I guess I can see how I can be all of those things at times but I am always me and that is what you get. My point is that since I have started reading the comments I have come to appreciate the writing of many of your regulars and they seem to be like people that I may associate myself with. Uhh that is a compliment to many of you regulars if my dissertation (sans the doctorial candidate part, well one day maybe) didn’t make any sense. I guess I could have just said that I find that there are like-minded people commenting.

        Quick question to a previous topic if I may. Is the name “VerySmartBrothas” not a bit pretentious and shit? I wanted to ask that awhile ago but got caught up.

        • Is the name “VerySmartBrothas” not a bit pretentious and shit?

          yeah, it is…but it also is sarcastic, simple, true, and well…it works.

          and besides it was better than calling the site, “weaintbeentojailandwecanread.com”

          i think it was already taken.

        • LMAO have been told I come off too smart, hood, bold, aloof, laconic, bourgeois, innocent (don’t get that as much nowadays) apathetic, nerdy and arrogant
          Dayum are we related?

          • That is funny that you are the one that replied because a lot of what you are one of the posters that I was referring to, I feel a lot of your comments.

            People are always going to have something to say but I guess those things are better than having people say that I am dumb, inarticulate, ugly, fat, smell funny and don’t have a sense of humor.

            I can see how I can come off to some people but oh well, fcuk em.

    • thanks for showing the love…and i’ll make sure that we do this VSB DC happy hour at some point…i already got a venue…lol…it’s my venue…but its a venue nonetheless…

      • Please do let me know. Point of clarification, your venue meaning su casa? Or do you mean that you own a venue? Either way let me know, I be in the streets.

        Shit, now that I think of it I may go to some viewing party tonight to see ya boy do his thing tonight. FYI, I know Park is having something. What’s good?

          • Good look. So you manage a spot. One thing I have learned is that it is a small world and a smaller black world. You may or may not even to begin to imagine the people that I have run into which I would think I would have no possible connection. It is crazy. And if you manage a spot like that it is VERY likely that we either know each other (clearly in passing) or we are only like a person or two (at most) removed from each other. I would ask you what spot you manage but I guess I will find out in time.

            But yeah, tonight is going to be a good look. They are going to be out tonight. At least you will know they have “somewhat” or at least a pseudo interest in polictics or current events. Seems to me a like a good first stepping stone. LOL! Yeah, I am saying that you/me/whoever may find a nice young lady out tonight.

          • Your spot is MY spot…I’m a regular down there. Think about the lil’ brown chick w/the locs that is so tight w/security. That’s the PBG!! I knew it couldn’t be too many lightskinned brothas in my city named “Panama”.

  41. Congrats VSB!!! Yaaaaaaaay, with the Democratic National Convention at its peak today and VSB at its 100th post, i have lots to celebrate! and a VSB store, could a sistah ask for more (you get my full support on purchasing a shirt and getting the word out)….cups up (salute) VSB! …oh yeah and im reigning from the heart of the ATL shawty…peace up A-town down.

    • “with the Democratic National Convention at its peak today and VSB at its 100th post, i have lots to celebrate”

      that is a nice little coincidence…

      …or is it??

          • Yo Duni, my wiz hold me down while I’m on my iron vacation. You see I send a kite back and she blogs. Oh yeah fcuk gay z son. LMAO!!!!

            On the real side of things though I just read an article about this guy talking about how much more focused he is now (well I would hope so) and wiser he is going to be when he gets out. The first thing he is going to have to do is get off of G-Unit (if it will even be a label at that point), 50 on to other things, trying to make platinum jewelry and shit. Mobb used to be my shit back in the day but damn, WTF?

          • “Damn Prodigy, I thought you only blogged from prison. I didn’t know they let you read VSB too.”

            at first, i couldn’t remember if it was p or nore who spit that line. thanks and sh*t

            • It was from P’s verse on the LL’s ’95 classic “I shot ya remix” ft. Keith Murray, Prodigy (back when he was on point), Fat Joe and Foxy Brown. I used to love hip hop. If I could turn back the hands of time, if I could find a way…..

              P goes in:

              Yo, I conversate wit many men, it’s time to begin again
              Forgot what I already knew, aiyyo you hear me friend?
              Illuminati want my mind, soul, and my body
              Secret society, tryin to keep they eye on me
              But I’m stay incogni’, in places they can’t find me
              Make my moves strategically, the G.O.D.
              It’s sorta similar but iller than a chess player
              I use my thinker, it coincides with my blinker

              • honestly, there are very few rappers who were on prodigy’s level back in the early to mid 90s. hell, the entire infamous album is classic b/c of the way prodigy slaughtered all of havoc and q-tips beats.

  42. before I scroll up and read the intelligent ignorance that I’m sure has taken place…let me say…

    COONNNNGRRRAAAATTTTUUUULAAAAAA-HOOO-HOOO-HAAAAY-HOOO-HOOOOO-TIOOOOOONNNNNSSSS!!! (Vesta style!)

    I am so happy to be an active supporter of a MOVE-MEANT for ni99as that read and sh1t!! salud!

Want to shout out to the Pink Ribbon Plantation for not blocking my daily dose of cerebral stimulation…last but not least I GOT to show love for my BFF “ABCDE” for getting me hooked on this man-based mind phuck…

    I have GOT to say (type) that I love all ya’ll…my VSB(rothas and sistas), you all make my day at the plantation seem to breeze by! The site is a terrible drug, cuz I really feel like I know most of you for real but I woldn’t know you if you grabbed my @ss and licked the side of my face and yet most of you would be welcome to sit on my couch without the standard criminal backround check and DNA test type of sh1t! (although you will stil be required to provide a copy of your driver’s license, just in case…) so if you’re ever in MIC CITY (Dallas (muhfuggin) TEXAS) hit a sista up! we’ll do lunch!

      Congratulations

    • Goody you are so welcome. I am glad to have contributed to the many paid hours of f*ckery, the long days of not even logging into the system until 4, but blogging on VSB all day long, the constant cornering and e-love that you have given to all on VSB. I am so happy to give you something to look forward to doing when you come into work. The speedy typing and mouse clicking, that sounds like work, but is not. I am happy to have given VSB the blessing that is you. Let me know how else I can help you be any less productive at work. I will do what I can from a far. LOL! :-)

      • Let me know how else I can help you be any less productive at work. I will do what I can from a far. LOL!

      I hope to be like you one day, wiping tears from my eyes. You make me proud.

  43. hey hey hey! congratulations and sh!t, to quote Champ… nice one, this is my bestest blog ever – and the African pretenders to the throne of Global reader award must just STEP ASIDE, coz that thing is MINE!

    my claim to it? i was interviewed by a leading business publication, (am considered an inspiring young entrepreneur, heh heh) and to the question ‘what is one thing that no one knows about you?’ i answered ‘i am very opinionated – on the net – and have about 10 different pseudonyms on different sites – my faves are…and i started with yours truly, VSB!’

    as per your request – i’m from Botswana & South Africa… and live in Gangsta’s Paradise, the City of Lights…Johannesburg, South Africa

    • ’ i answered ‘i am very opinionated – on the net – and have about 10 different pseudonyms on different sites – my faves are…and i started with yours truly, VSB!’

      this made me smile like a toothless homeless man who just got a 20 dollar bill.

    • “and the African pretenders to the throne of Global reader award must just STEP ASIDE, coz that thing is MINE!”

      i’m really amazed that we’re so big in the motherland. like, seriously. i’m getting verklempt just thinking about it

      • Champ tears up:

        “i’m really amazed that we’re so big in the motherland. like, seriously.”

        the motherland…. …and international no less. Salute!

  44. Congrats on 100… Damn 100 posts already? Which of course comes out closer to 100,000 if you count all the comments that accompany your great posts! THAT is major and sh*t. Keep shining fellas…

    Reading laughing and pounding the Alt-Tab buttons in LA.

  45. Shout owts on the 100th post. Makes it much easier to look busy at work. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Canarsie and then Clinton Hill to be specific.

    Uhhh, something interesting….. In high school I was known as the preppy thug because I lived in the projects and went to prep school and then to Penn

  46. Well, I just love the effing place. Ya’ll bring me so much joy in my little sleepy town. Smooches and sh*t!

    I am in Augusta, GA aka West Hell, aka East Bumble Futte; the home James Brown and The Masters.

    Interesting facts: I went to a performing arts high school (visual art and instrumental music: violin, cello and percussion) but I studied chemistry in college. I’m patented. I hate people most days that end in “Y”.

    • “I am in Augusta, GA aka West Hell, aka East Bumble Futte; the home James Brown and The Masters.”

      lol..i like how every city, regardless of how big or small, has like 903 pseudonyms.

    • em says:

      “I hate people most days that end in “Y”.

      thats everday except the ides of khan and kahnadan.

      my favorite day is a new one.

      patented huh. send the #, i’d like to look it up or maybe u could just explain it. was it a process or a…

      congrats!

      • ‘ I’m patented. ‘

        Hey me too. I didnt think that was interesting but I guess so, thanks for giving me another justification for my vanity.

        heeeeeey! me too! I guess we really are VSB(roads)…lol

  47. *Scans for the award recipient that starts out:

    “I would like to give thanks to the Almighty God, without him none of this would’ve been possible. I would also like to thank all the lite-brite bitches, video hos, and bastards that gave me the inspiration to comment…” *

    K.I.M. from ATL. I don’t like fried chicken

    • I would also like to thank all the lite-brite bitches, video hos, and bastards that gave me the inspiration to comment…” *

      that cracked me up.

      no fried chicken huh. what about koolaid?

    • “I don’t like fried chicken”

      Don’t feel bad, I don’t like watermelon.
      My own grandma called me a generic iggah.
      She’s crazy like that, so I let her make it.

          • THANK YOU! my cousin told me it was earwax….haven’t been able to eat it since… plus I’m very picky about the consistency of the things I put in my mouth…***glares at every ISP on this site*** don’t say a fuggin word!! lol

          • My Nana (promounced Nono schwa o I mean short o sound) loves that pie to iew. Makes me think of syrp n tossed salad man iew. n watermellon n bananas make my throat itch but the only thing I will leave on my plate is pickled beets and raw oysters(the smell reminds me of disecting a shark in biology)

            BTW I went to hs w/ a guy that was allergic to yard bird. Can you believe that?!

              • nah I gots fam in Memphis or was it a visit to mississippi you kno a lot of them migrated to the chi town region back in the day. Ever heard of pollitis?

              • My Uncle may have been talkin shyit but… there is some sort of inflamation (any itis suffix means this) if you don’t eat some form of chicken errday.

                And congratulations miss tee lee *sensei bow*

              • he always on that though. It makes for easier smiles when you go for it. & when the easy smiles come out so does the good liquor and cigars. Liquor is the lube that keeps my family going. Cold war kids much?

            • “watermellon n bananas make my throat itch” …I know its 5 hours late but I am glad somebody else out there gets the itchies when eating these two items. I was told I had a fresh veggie and food allergy. Something in all fresh fruits and veggies makes my throat itch but these two right here make me want to pull my throat out and stomp on it or rub it across some rocks or something.

        • cornbread!! who don’t like cornbread? that’s blasphemy!! who’s ever had cracklin’ cornbread? it’s hard to eat, but i like that it smells like bacon…hmm, mmmm gooooooooood!

          • “cornbread!! who don’t like cornbread? that’s blasphemy!!”

            yeah thats a negroidian Jiffy mix culinary violation…how is this possible?? what do you eat with ghetto chilli???

          • cornbread!! who don’t like cornbread? that’s blasphemy!!

            PatteeCakes (why does it seem like forever since I have typed that name?) I dont’ like cornbread but I can make it…not Jiffy…ABCDE would kill me dead…I can make it from scratch…well hot water cornbread anyway…that should count for something!

            • i missed you too Goodie! hot water cornbread is something i have yet to try…my late grandmother made it either jiffy, from scratch or cracklin. i loved all 3, so i don’t think i’ll have a problem with the kind you make.
              ya know if we ever do meet up for this vsb bbq we should all bring a dish!

        • People on here don’t like fried chicken (blasphemous, I tell ya), watermelon or pie? What the hell kinda psuedo-negrodian vortex have you dropped me into, Goodie??? I feel faint.

      • *Snatches black card and gives it to Bill Clinton* This is how he’s managed to collect enough black cards to be able to move into Harlem…because of people like you and I that don’t like fried chicken, watermelon, ect.

      • You *wink wink.* Teasing. I like this blog. I like baked chicken. I like kisses. I like Ben Stiller movies. I like Obama/Biden/Michelle. I like International Delight french vanilla creamer. I like lots :-)

    • WHAATTTTT no fried chicken?? What is that about….I mean do you not like fried foods for the health problems or do you seriously not like the taste? You not one of THOSE people who also does not like chicken on a bone are you?

      • LOL…..i represent for the vegetarians in the house!! i know there has to be more out there :)

        i do like cornbread though (but not jiffy cuz it has lard in it, no buddy. it’s gotta b homade).

  48. I am in Durham, North Carolina (Bull CITY!!!)… Interesting fact is I am a spoken word artist …. I look forward to VSB everyday, I hate when I can’t get to the site after noon-ish bc I miss out on all the splendid morning banter and f*ckery, but keep up the great work fellas!

        • ALISE…how did you get your clips on your page? I have been trying to figure that sh1t out forever…forever ever? forever ever… I have some footage of my last show that I want to upload too…TEACH ME!! please!

  50. Congratulations VSB on your 100th post. I am so happy that others loved my t-shirt too. **side note: please do not wear t-shirt during the following activities, f*cking, screwing, sucking, eating, getting knowledge, grooming kitties, or after any of these activities or variations there of end side note** Now I will have to purchase it and keep the abstinent legacy alive, major presha. And CONGRATS to all the Award Winners out there, keep up the good work. This is Miss Abcde (Ab-suh-dee) A-Lexus, Dallas is my home, Houston is where I stay….and its still hard out her for an abstinent pimp. If you are in the H and are down for some good wholesome non-handson activities, give me a holla. LOL :-)

    • i thought it would be perfectly ironic to rock the abstinent pimp shirt while having sex. i guess i hafta make new sex t-shirt rocking plans now.

      thanks

      • Please and gracias… I knew that half of you would find it quite ironic and majorly funny to do so, thus the side note.

    • Oh, yup, I’mma hafta to get that “abstinent pimp” shirt myself…along with that “breed carefully” jawn. That about sums up my life/relationship views right about now.

  51. Aww, congratulations on 100! I never comment, but love, love, love the site! Y’all get me through my morning commute every single day (despite an an ever-so-slight fender bender a month or so back paying attention to VSB instead of the road…I could blame myself or your enchanting site, but I choose to blame it on horrible ass Texas drivers…acknowledging that veering across lanes trying to read from a phone/laughing would probably make me one of them.)

    Oh,and since the city shout-outs for the ‘Burgh are looking a little sad so far, I will happily claim it, even though I’m in Houston now. ;-)

    • “Oh,and since the city shout-outs for the ‘Burgh are looking a little sad so far, I will happily claim it, even though I’m in Houston now.”

      lol…thanks. we’ll take all we can get

      • Champ knows I’m a Steeler fan even though I’ve never even been to the ‘burgh.
        I’m working on that though.

      • i didnt want to admit to doing a 2 year bid in the ‘burgh… but i’ll own up to it since im not alone…

    • Lawd, where are all these Houston VSB’ers coming from? We need to get that happy hour poppin’ STAT lol!

    • shout outs to the Burgh indeed! that’s my hometown and i’m headed there now to kick it with my homegirls & have some Labor Day fun …STEELERS!!! whoo-whoo!!! *miss p is singing ‘here we go, go, here we go…picksburg’s goin to the superbowl’* :)

  52. Happy 100th Birthday…I mean CONGRATULATIONS guys. I read all the post but usually don’t post because I can be long winded or would it be long typing…well whatever.

    You all keep me laughing and with a smile on my face everyday.

    You all are sarcastic, little sucidal, crabby, but in all you all are verysmartbrothas with class, taste, and simplicity.

    Some of the post help me and wellll… the others not so much, but they were hilarious with the mostess.

    Oh…yeah. a little ’bout myself…

    I live in Florida, 5’9, eclectic, and I heart Spongebob but you got myspace thing so get at me (display name is Pancakes and chocolate)

    Love you guys!

    • I live in Florida, 5?9, eclectic, and I heart Spongebob but you got myspace thing so get at me (display name is Pancakes and chocolate)

      thanks and sh*t. i dont know if you realized this though, but your link is broken.

  53. Congratulations and thank you for this site – I LOVE IT!!!

    I read everyday and this is my second time posting. Got put on by my dear friend the Wise Diva back when you guys first started.

    Live in Houston but plotting each day to get back to ATL (no offense to the other Houstonians).

    Something interesting about me (some might consider pitiful) I am an avid Atlanta Falcons fan and fly from Houston to Atlanta for all the regular season home games. Matta fact – being able to come in late on the Mondays after the games was a condition on accepting my job offer here.

    Here’s to the next 100!

  54. VSB, Chai Tea and Pandora Radio.

    Things that make my day!

    I’m hailing from Indiana. Yes, the MIDWEST! Hopefully grad school allows me to venture out of here sometime soon.

    Congrats!

  55. ***harlem shake*** I scrolled so fast I missed the shirt quotes!! YAYEE YAYEE!! I got a shirt quote! and my BFF “ABCDE” (dang look at all them letters) got one too!! smart b1tches hang together and sh1t…lol…

    so…ummm….**looking down and kicking imaginary dirt** do tshirt quotes get us a free one or something??

    • “so…ummm….**looking down and kicking imaginary dirt** do tshirt quotes get us a free one or something??”

      good question.

      i love saying “good question” to questions, and then not saying anything else

    • “do tshirt quotes get us a free one or something??”

      Yeah cuz I’m ready to rock my “asshole” shirt. And ain’t nothing better than free.99!

  56. Y’all did 99 posts and bitch wasn’t one. Congrats Champ, Panama and Liz on the 100th!

    I enjoy your stuff b/c it proves the point that times may change but people don’t. All the relationship stuff you all write about are the same visible and hidden issues experienced by my generation, which is ahead of yours – but you have the Internet to expose it and talk about it.

    A bit about Kit: My childhood was a mix of heaven and hell. Came of the age of awareness during assassinations, Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, Hippies and the Peace Movement, Vietnam protests, and watched the rioting in DC where I grew up.

    All this left me as a free thinker in my approach to current events, politics, religion, old traditions and social rituals, including the dating and mating games we play. I refuse to let my mind and spirit get old, and the body and face still look decent (thanks Mom & Dad!).

    VSB has great writing style, humor and you do it with finesse. Look forward to Post #1000.

    • “I enjoy your stuff b/c it proves the point that times may change but people don’t. All the relationship stuff you all write about are the same visible and hidden issues experienced by my generation, which is ahead of yours – but you have the Internet to expose it and talk about it.”

      you always provide really good insight and sh*t. thanks.

  57. YEAH VSB.COM!!!!!!!!

    Champ, Panama & Liz,

    Thanks for making the site my favorite work distraction….all this witty banter and sh*t makes a sister so giddy inside…lol! You already know your girl is smiling about designing some graphics for the shirts….yippee!!!!

    So I’m from Day-Go (San Diego, CA), but I landed in Chicago by way of Texas A&M…the everlasting road trip. I’ve been told I’m a marketing rockstar, but I prefer to be a smile influencer. :-) I’d like to think I host the best DAMN house parties in the Chi…oh, and sometimes I sing and write music…random, but true.

    Ya’ll are my heroes…I’m throwing ya’ll a party when you come through! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!! :-)

    Si Se Puede!

  58. Congratulations, y’all! I hope we’ll get to see y’all celebrate post #200, and #500, and #1000…this is totally my #1 “must visit” site everyday. Both the posts and comments are just the best! I love how everyone manages to be full of substance but not take themselves too effing seriously. Every day (um, well, maybe not Video Ho Appreciation Day) I take away something to think about AND I scream with hysterical laughter at the computer at least thrice. Bravo!

    I live in Chapel Hill (and formerly put on for DC, too) but I’m a South Memphis girl to the death (born n’ raised).

    I’m very sad there will be no “I think learning is siddity” T-shirt, as I had major plans to rock it to my dissertation defense, and perhaps also my doctoral hooding ceremony next year. I NEEDS one of those!

    • “I’m very sad there will be no “I think learning is siddity” T-shirt, as I had major plans to rock it to my dissertation defense, and perhaps also my doctoral hooding ceremony next year. I NEEDS one of those!”

      we’re flexible. it still could happen

  59. Hey guys! I usually lurk. I live in Seattle… I was reading the Champ’s blog and Panama’s since probably 3yrs ago? It’s been a long time. This blog has entirely too many comments for me to participate! I’m on Pacific time! By the time I roll out of bed you already have over 200 comments! Well done guys;)

  60. I need to get the ‘I’m an asshole and I’m ok with that’ t-shirt for homecoming. Most of the guys I went to school with would definately agree with it, lolol

    • Me too! They said I was “hateful.” Eh, I guess I was…but no I do not want to get with you and tell ol’ girl over there that I do not want the n*gga that’s not even her man.

  61. Hey yall!!! I’m in Atlanta and absolutely adore this blog. I don’t comment much (I also have one of “those” jobs) but I lurk daily. Keep the hilarity coming!!!

    xoxo

  62. “Shout owts on the 100th post. Makes it much easier to look busy at work. ”

    1000% co-sign. This is cause for another salute to VSB. Thank you for having a simple design for your website. Plain ol Black & White. I’d probably be fired or on probation if my boss would have seen neon colors and flashing lights coming my computer ( even though my internet window the size of a credit card . . . better safe than sorry)

    CHEERS!

    • “1000% co-sign. This is cause for another salute to VSB. Thank you for having a simple design for your website. Plain ol Black & White.”

      this is all liz’s doing. shes the breastest

    • Yes b&w works best! Google keeps it simple too and that’s why it works. I don’t like it when sites add all those colors and unnecessary applications (facebook). Keep it simple and shit…

  63. Hi I’m Mimi from beautiful Orlando, FL and I am the future director of a non profit organization! Wish me luck! :)

    Oh and congrats on the 100th post! I love you guys…keep up the good comedy!

  64. Damn I’m late today! Where does my job get off making me work this morning?

    Like all cool people I was born and raised in MD. I currently live in MD. I work in MD, I lost my virginity in MD, I was first drunk in MD, surprisingly though I went to college in Philadelphia. Go figure.

  65. I’ve been a dedicated lurker from the beginning with you guys…and just like everyone else, you got me using up my “work” time reading this blog all day just to get through all the comments (billable hours and all) !

    One more representation from the Motherland – Egypt here, currently living in San Francisco bay area…but I got my cousins back home reading you:)

    Can’t wait for 100 more!

  66. I need a Winn-Dixie grocery bag full of money right now to the VIP section!!!!!!

    I’m gonna rep New Orleans (cause G.R.I.T.S. are hot!) even though I now live in Chicago where n*ggas don’t know nothin’ bout humidity. Lucky bastards…therefore I suggest two parties.

    And congrats on the 100! Glad I jumped over fence from Jackson G. Tickle. This is the first thing I read in the morning when I get to work and it totally makes my morning. But don’t tell my boss that… *big kiss*

    • “This is the first thing I read in the morning when I get to work and it totally makes my morning. But don’t tell my boss that… *big kiss*”

      sure…if you promise not to tell mine.

      wait…

      …nevermind, not even gonna go there, lol

  67. Congrats fellaz (and lady)! I don’t usually post, but I do read every-single-day. Faithfully. Keep the good ish flowing.

    I’m also repping for the State of Philly ;-)

  68. Much congrats to VSB and the lovely Liz! Yall are all too smart for your own good and I love reading every word. :) The Queen is more proud of yall than you know.

    I am waiting for the day when you will be blocked at my corporate cubical…I know it’s coming…especially with Deviant and Goodeness running loose. lol

    Something about me…I was born and raised in DC (RPC…don’t shoot), I am the Queen, and I’m hot. That about covers it.

    PS – I plan on buying the t-shirt that says “it’s hard out here for an abstinent pimp” and wearing it for the rest of my pregnancy. It should give my family something to talk about. lol

    • Queen….I would love tha hell out of you if you did wear that shirt whilst pregant. Hell I walked around telling people I was a virgin, never had secks while showing people baby pics of my newly birthed son. Some things you just cant tell the world. LMAO! Do da dayum thang!!!

      • When people ask if I’m pregnant, I tell them I’m just really full from lunch. lol Or that it is the immaculate conception..again.

        When I get the shirt, I promise to take a pic.

    • “I know it’s coming…especially with Deviant and Goodeness running loose. lol

      lol…you’re making them sound like outlaws and sh*t…which they are, but still

      • “I know it’s coming…especially with Deviant and Goodeness running loose. lol

        lol…you’re making them sound like outlaws and sh*t…which they are, but still

        if I wasn’t dodging warrants and sh1t…I could have slight might a little bit been offended…lmao

          • ok….I was drinking from my magic flask in the bathroom…(speech slurring) whatchu mean “most moderated comments??” you wanna fight wit me Panny? huh?? KING KONG AINT GOT NOTHING ON ME!!!

            • bwwwuuuuuaaaaahahahahahahhaahahha!! I’m sayin you truely slay me GoodE. Makes me think of Charlie Murphy’s ‘I want more’ story. lol

  69. Congrats and all that good stuff. You’ve made the first ear of college educational and stuff here in the D bka Detroit.

    Fact: Everyone who knows me gives me the “You So Different” Award…

        • I saw this last week.
          I was hysterically laughing.
          How da fcuk is sposed to keep peace?

          Funny how that hook got stuck in my head all day…

        • Kam77 my homeboy comedian Steve Brown put this up on our high school website earlier this week. this is the stupidest sh*t i have seen this yr. sadddd but funny.

          …and i got cousins on one of the “miles” and goddard.

          The D-Rock is weird man. except for Anita Bakers IHOP

          i wish she was on the menu.

          • Yeah, her and that Soulja Girl chick from the MARTA train in ATL should do some kind of collabo.

            OK, that wasn’t nice, “at least she tryin” *In Riley Freeman’s voice*. Real talk, she getting more exposure cuz of how bad it was than she prolly ever expected. I mean the video has almost been viewed 283,000 times. On the real, I need to come up with something and flip it, it can’t be as easy as that or can it? See now I am thinking about the whole cell phone popcorn bit and how that was created and produced by an advertising agency (sorry for those of you that didn’t know, it is fake).

            I digress, back to the think tank.

  70. congrats guys. the site is one of the bright spots of my morning.
    i’m in new orleans, btw. f*ck gustav and sh*t.

  71. ME?! I GOT AN AWARD?! OH ISHT!!! I don’t even know what to say!

    Sheeeeeeeit! You know I got plenty to say when my head gets inflated like it is right now.

    First of all thank you VSB! P, Champ, you brothas are alright with me! I does it for the people and for the people I does it! I would like to thank all the little people…….no seriously I want to thank all the little people, since apparently everyone is little but me around here judging by the T-shirts. Champ what the hell am I going to do with a 2X shirt other than make wome sort of Sway-esque VSB.com headwrap? Congrats on actually making a shirt though!

    I am 100% Georgia Boi. Reppin Columbus, GA/Muscogee County to the fullest! But right now I am in Chocolate City (That’s Washington, D.C. for anyone who don’t know) and in 2 weeks I will be relocating to Houston, TX to see how long it takes before an angry mob chases me out of there too! LOL! I am the smartest, most ignantest <—–yeah I said, rub on your titties!, country boy you will ever have the pleasure of addressing with college words, without a dumbfounded look……sometimes.

    I love this damn site! I do no work at all because of it and somehow I make that work for me. Oh wait, government job…..right. Let’s all keep it up, because if this site ever goes away I am going to have to make some real tough decisions and i don’t want to do that.

    Love, Peace, and Mo-blippy!

  72. LOL!!!! This has got 2 be the funniest ish I have eva read! I don’t know where ya’ll get half of it from…but keep it coming. Ready 4 the corny???? Okay…mah days would be far more dreary without it!!! Okay…corny done!!! Thanx a bil!!!! By the way I’m from Pontiac by way of Detroit…yes!

  73. “I need a Winn-Dixie grocery bag full of money right now to the VIP section!!!!!!”

    Why does this bizarre rant sound so familiar?

  74. Congrats VSB! You make the very long days on the plantation easier to digest. I rarely ever comment because when I get here y’alla re already 150 deep and I figure all the best funnies have already been said and I like to stand out with my jokes. (Vain I know.) I’m repping for the urrea, Pretty Ghetto County, MD–DC metro stand up! Something interesting about me…I’m fine as all outdoors! Well not really but would it catch your eye if I said I looked like i was beat with a bag of nickles fallin out of the ugly treat hitting every branch on the way? Nope, didn’t think so. Best I can do for interesting at the moment is that you can catch me at the same sports bar every Sunday holding court and rootin for the Super Bowl Champs! GO Giants!

      • Thanks for the welcome! ESPN on G st is where I hold it down. And i must hear about you chokin out Eli. i wanted to do that myself about Week13 and then we went on that run…

        • I’m at ESPN all the time! Maybe I’ll stop through there before I leave the area never to return.

          So here’s the story.

          I was working at a club in Florida. It was a huge spring and summer hot spot and this was the summer of ’03. Eli and his entourage were in the club one night. After a few drinks some of his crew started acting a fool in the club, standing on tables, messing with other people around them etc. I went over and told them they would have to calm down or they would have to leave. They relaxed for about 3 .5 minutes and they were at it again. So this time I gave them one last warning and one of the chicks in his crew started cussin me out and screaming stuff lik: “Do you know who this is?!” “He can buy this place and have your job!”. Well Ol’ Buck don’t do well with trash talk, especially from annoying skinny little d*ck riders. So i told them they all had to get the F*ck out immediately. Now until this point Eli was silent. But now he decided to speak up and tell me he was not going anywhere…..(TIP: Never tell the bouncer you’re not going to do what he says!) Since he refused to move I began to move him. At which point he turned around and pushed me, hard enough that it caused me to step back. At that point the manager of the club had seen enough of them so he gave me the green light to handle the situation with a bit more force. Eli tried to push past me to go back to his table and I grabbed him, got one arm around his neck and put him down Debo style, minus the gut punches. We carried him out to the limo that was waitng for him and his friends and put him and the rest of the funky bunch in it. The next morning around 0730 some guy showed up and bought the security tape from the owner for $10,000…..or so he says.

          That is my story. Believe it or not, it makes no difference. But I stand by it.

          • good story Buck. true Hollywood story. (hollywood florida) Eli showing out and Buck handed him his own sagging asz. LOL!

            in-scre-scring

          • *stand up and applauds* I actually do believe the story. Most pro athletes entourages are known to act a fool around town and the fact that he thought he was important enough to where his friends actions shouldn’t affect his good time doesnt suprise me either. At that time he was unaware of how to really use his “star status” and he was young enough (i.e crappy enough) in his career to where I would have handled it the same way and he was my QB.
            Having said all that, if you been in the Zone on gameday you’ve probably seen me there. I’m usually downstairs at the bar in my LT throwback. Come tap me on the shoulder so that I can put the face with the outrageous stories. *smile* Still chuckling over how you lost the V.

  75. Congratz n shyt to the VSB fam, i’ve been reading faithfully for about two weeks now, haven’t commented much seeing as how i might be the only goverment employee that has work to do on here…. maybe thats cause I’m new. Regardless I hail from DC born and raised

    • “haven’t commented much seeing as how i might be the only goverment employee that has work to do on here…. maybe thats cause I’m new”

      i’m sure there are ways around this

    • “i’ve been reading faithfully for about two weeks now, haven’t commented much seeing as how i might be the only goverment employee that has work to do on here”

      actually im a gov’t employee with work to do. i just choose not to do it. i have my priorities in the right place. vsb 1, sleep 2, work 9998

  76. Congrats y’all…I really enjoy reading.

    I hail from Houston, Screwston Texas by way of Jackson, Mississippi…home of JSU and the Sonic Boom of the South. Respect our band gangsta. I am a married mother of 3 and a grad student studying Speech Pathology at U of Houston. I gather I would like long walks on the beach if ours was clean (Galveston is NOT what that is). Both my parents were crack heads and I lived to tell the story. My mom sold our car to drug dealers in 1995. My brothers and I were IN said car. My husband’s ex wife asks me for advice and cooks for me from time to time. (Blended family gangsta) I am typically the one that got away. I don’t wear logos and have never owned a Coach or LV purse (the black woman’s staple purse it seems). I wear slacks and business shirts with my Chuck Taylors and a fierce pair of dangly earrings. I don’t know jack about hip-hop, but I die for RnB. I am the cause and the cure and I have no alibi.

    • “Both my parents were crack heads and I lived to tell the story. My mom sold our car to drug dealers in 1995. My brothers and I were IN said car.”

      DAMN…that is effed up. I can relate, though. None of my experience was that major. I remember being told to go put the clothes in the washer but it was gone and wearing a windbreaker in the middle of winter cause all the winter coats were gone, too.

    • “Both my parents were crack heads and I lived to tell the story. My mom sold our car to drug dealers in 1995. My brothers and I were IN said car.”

      I e-love you even more…just for surviving that sh1t right there and not becoming it! ((((hug))))

    • Dam u do Reign with stories like that. crack mom left u in the car she sold for crack. …the f*ck outta here? chuck taylors, lady pants, no brand names tatooed all over ur lady things and dangly earrings. me lubbbs u. original. rebel. innovative. warrior.

      hug urself!

      • Drug Dealer: Yo, your moms sold us the car…y’all need a ride somewhere or something?
        Me: Nah, we’re good.
        Hey, here are good hearted pushers in this world, lol.
        Thanks y’all, but God is more gracious than I deserve. Big-ups to my man J, lol. Khan I am putting that descrip on a T-shirt, I love it. original.rebel.innovative.warrior. Loves it!

  77. Congrats! From the first view, this became one of my favorite sites to visit, and I make sure I stop by a couple of times a day so that I dont miss a classic comment. Yall even served as the inspiration for me to get the ball rolling on my own site.

    I’m from Jersey, so ill be expecting the future soirees to reach the NYC area one day

    Congrats once again!

    - http://www.mrswagger.com

  78. CONGRATS BROTHAS!!! I’m all teary eyed and sh*t. By the way thanks for the award, you sure know how to make a fan feel special. I love promoting you guys because you make me laugh (and sometimes choke from your off the cuff responses) and believe it or not you have fueled many discussions with friends and private journal entries…speaking of which I met a few folks at the Rock the Bells concert who might visit the site (that is if they weren’t too high to remember). Here’s some virtual dap/hugs/chest bumps to all three of you.

    Don’t tease…is the BBQ really going to happen? If so, I’m in LA…but I have roots in PA, NY and NC. And I visit the East Coast often. I’m definitely buying a tshirt…but can I make one on my own that says “WHO IS GENIUS KHAN?”, I wouldn’t dare bootleg without your permission.

    • Miss Patt asks:

      ““WHO IS GENIUS KHAN?”

      i’m glad u asked baby. u probably want to know even though u may ask in jest. they just approved my exposition. see 4 urself. …and if u send me a shirt u can dam sure get 1 that says “WHO IS GENIUS KHAN” …and if ur lucky u can have me all over and under your shirt and draws and, well u know how it feels. if ur lucky

      heh, heh, heh (inhales) whoooooooo!

    • WHO IS GENIUS KHAN?

      that actually would be a good shirt. its fitting (no pun intended) too.

      i remember a long time ago i started asking people, “why are there dandelions in the parking garage”

      i set off a nationwide query. to this day, ninjas are still looking for dandelions in the parking garage at the bellagio in vegas.

      • They had the who is Mike Jones? shirts with the phone numbers.
        It worked for him, so I think this would be a great idea.

      • why are there onion rings dipped in choclate on the menu?

        thanx P this is my new calling card. weird questions with a straight face. melikes!

        my calling card used to be starting all sentences with:

        verily verily i say unto thee…

        attempts against the life of the Crown Prince are punishable by death.

        it sounds so alarming when i said it to people.

        LOL!

    • oh yeah…about me: i’m a fiction writer. i’m in my last year of grad school and cultivating my craft- creative writing, that is. i love to read. i enjoy researching family trees, and sleeping on the beach. i have a weakness for comfort food, and men with full lips and back dips. i also have a fertile imagination and i daydream a lot, hence the writer thing. the end.

  79. Hey VSB, Congrats on the 100th Post. I have been a fan since ya’ll started posting and ish. I usually don’t post cause that isn’t time that I can bill for, but today Client P.I.T.A. will get a fat invoice courtesy of VSB.com. Any whoo I live in Orlando, FL and I turned a guy gay.

      • Champ dares to wonder:

        …how PlatinumKAM turned a guy gay.

        i don’t even want to know for fear that if i gaze upon the words i may turn into a pillar of salt. (shuts eyes)
        LOL!!!!!

        clears mind.

      • I don’t know if I should be proud or ashamed of it actually.

        He was a man-whore and I was in the V club. We skipped class and he was supposed to welcome me to the other side, but the toothpaste was released from the tube once it hit my toothbrush.

        He apologized for it and we went our separate ways. My sophomore year in college he tried to get at me again but I thought/knew he was gay so I brushed him off. ( he was doing some RuPaul ish) We had a pow wow and he told me I am the reason I he is gay. Something about the experience was to much for him to handle. I think it was combination of things: him, my v- clubness and my platinum pu88y in general. LOL

        PlatinumKAM so good she turns straight guys gay.

        I dont think that one is too bad. There is one guy who became a rapist after we dated.

      • I don’t think it’s you P. It’s the name. Anything w/ a name like that has to come w/ some sort of downside. Like all the mean stuff you could do while angry but tryptophanerase makes you too dumb to remember or cognatively organize it. Shoot I read the name and swore I was about to have an athsma attack.

      • “is that really pitt’s 3 letter abbreviation.”

        it is. if pgh is too difficult to remember, the steel city and city of champions work.

        btw, nobody refers to pittsburgh as “pitt”. “pitt” is the university of pittsburgh, and pittsburgh is usually just “the burgh”

  80. Congratulations to The Champ, Liz and Panama.

    This is Monie from Cleveland. Booooooo to Pittsburgh (sowwy, Champ).

    I can’t quite remember how I found this site but I’m glad I did. I waste many a hour at work reading, ctfu, and gaining new insights.

    Love that the comments are as funny as the posts. Panama has me dying on the regular and Deviant and I are the best of friends in my head.

    Keep up the good work!

  81. I’m CaShawn aka “PrettyBrownGirl” and I am from DC. I was referred to your blog by a Myspace friend. I’ve read through some posts and I’m subscribing now! Congratulations on the Centennial!

  82. Félicitations, VSB. Je t’aime.

    V.E.G. here. In Chicago – SOUTH SIDE – by way of New Orleans.

    Shout out to Luvvie who, like a true crack head, could not smoke her rock alone. She had to share it with me. Now I too am staying up late to see the new posts, tricking off on VSB when I should be working and laughing out loud in an empty room.

    If there’s a cure for it, I don’t want it…

    Random facts: I have an extra bone in each of my ankles and my wisdom teeth each had an extra root. My feet are freakishly small for my height. I can put my left leg behind my head.

    • “I can put my left leg behind my head.”

      I’d be mad at myself if I didn’t ask this, but, how does one actually figure out that they can do this?

      and thanks for sleepwalking with the kids.

      • “I’d be mad at myself if I didn’t ask this, but, how does one actually figure out that they can do this?”

        LMAO. learned it in yoga class.

    • “Random facts: I have an extra bone in each of my ankles and my wisdom teeth each had an extra root. My feet are freakishly small for my height. I can put my left leg behind my head.”

      all of this, even the extra bone, is sexy to me.

      i think i need some tea

    • VEG that root thing sounds interesting. I saw this documentary about migration and the populating of the world. A common thing that the Native Americans have in common w/ Mongolians is a tripple root on their molars but a 5 rooted tooth. What did your oral surgeon tell you that was all about n stuff?

      • when I got the joints pulled the oral surgeon was like “ooo, this is freaky. and he called other people into the room to look. lol. I wanted to see, too, and he showed me.”

        He didn’t school me on anything. I gotta research this now. Lol.

    • V dot how tall are you? …and the flexible thing, well, well, well. lord bless u.

      veni vedi vici

      • I’m 5’5″…not tall, not short. But I wear a size 6 shoe and sometimes I walk out of those. Most women my height are in a 7.5/8 (said a shoe salesman). My 5’1″ friend and I wear the same size shoe. It just looks…weird.

        How tall are you, GK? ;)

            • u likem tall huh and i likem sexy from the inside out, cute and flexible is a defenite plus. maybe u should share ur thoughts outside vsb, feel free to drop me an email. some will some might not collide connect. write on!

    • Another V.E.G. factoid: my parents were having sex when my mom went into labor with me. I was born after 9 months, 3 weeks and 2 days in the womb (they weren’t inducing in the, ahem, mid 70s…and my mom reminds me to this day how long she carried me). Ok…that was two tidbits.

  83. Congrats VSB! I’ve been entertained by you all for a few months now and because of this site I have found a new way (addiction) to help pass the time at my gov’ment gig. I actually wait until after lunch for the comments to be at their peak so I have something to keep me busy until it’s time for me to run away from this place like the plantation is burning.

    I’m from Massachusetts by the way (yes, we DO have coloreds here.. then again.. ::looking around the cubicle::: might just be me. Sigh)

    Congrats again!

  84. “I actually wait until after lunch for the comments to be at their peak so I have something to keep me busy until it’s time for me to run away from this place like the plantation is burning. ”

    Your supposed to make sure “masta” is okay first before running off the plantation.

    Okay that was a bad joke :(

    • “Your supposed to make sure “masta” is okay first before running off the plantation.

      Okay that was a bad joke :(

      it was…and it wasn’t

  85. And now for something completely different!

    I saw a young man on the Metro today that had a high top step fade and yellow jeans………..what?!!

    I saw a man walking up and down the sidewalk in Gallery Place and stoping in certain spots to do push-ups and dance briefly while he mean mugs passers by………what?!

    I saw a homeless man on the same street walking with his jeans sagging and his ENTIRE A$$ was showing………I was trying to eat lunch…….what?!!!

    This concludes today’s briefing on Buck’s day.

    As you were.

    • Did dude at GP have on sweatpants and a wifebeater? Oh yeah and his iPod? Cause he used to do that and more down NY Ave on the side of the Peoples bldg. About 5 us would be out the window every day at 4:30 to get our chuckle on at him. I could have swore I was going to see him trying out for So you think you can Dance.

    • I saw that same dude doing push ups @ Gallery Place yesterday in front of Fudruckers. He almost made it to my blog, since I was out on a Nanny Adventure @ the time. I was a’feared of him a lil’ bit.

  86. luv this site, you guys are always making funnies.

    living in houston a.ka. the humidity capitial of the world

    org. from miami,fl go mullets!!!!!

    life’s motto: workin is for suckahs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  87. I would like to purchase a shirt but had a few questions:

    1) How long before I can expect the shirt to arrive at my doorsteps? You’re not on back order are you??

    2) Do nude autographed pictures accompany the order?

    3)What’s the coupon code? Hook a sister up, it’s hard out here for a pimp!!!!

  88. Congrats, VSB!

    I am a new but avid reader. Your topics often cause me to hafta teach the white folks at work a little something, something about being Black in America: The truth as told by the commentors on this site. (Folks wanna know what I’m laughing at.)

    Ya’ll make me giggle uncontrollably… scaring my boss and sh*t.

    Oh, and I’m reping Durham, NC. Holla at ya girl.

  89. s*, man!!! y’all got a lotta comments and s*…

    B here – originally from “da A” – college park (CP!!!)

    in the Chi now (grad student game) – come party with me – i’ll be here (or in the A) til June.

  90. Congrats to VSB and the award recipients…

    I rarely comment- but I’m forever reading your posts. I love this site !

    BTW- CT is where I am living…Haiti is where my heart resides.

    Peace :)

  91. Not a frequent commenter, but I read vsb.com every day. Used to read P-Jack and the Champ’s individual sites and had to keep it going over here. Congrats!

    Reppin’ the D (Detroit!)

  92. I’m a new reader of the site…so hello…

    Um, first and foremost, congrats on your 100th post! To say the least, that is a helluva lot of writing…lmao.

    Other than that, um a bit about me…

    I am a random *ss person with enough snarky criticism and facetious remarks to fill an entire book full of somewhat-positive criticism (hence the name of my blog). I hail from the Great Lakes state, and yes, I too am f*cking tired of hearing about Kwame and our bad economy. At least we have the Pistons and the Red Wings.

    But yea, pretty much, I live a boring life, minus the occasional intake of alcohol…

  93. Delurking to say congrats! I love this blog and its family of hilarious, insightful, crazy, cool commenters. I’ve tried to get pretty much everyone I know just as hooked on VSB as I am. I used to be a day late on the posts b/c my old job didn’t give us internet access so at home I’d email myself at work the posts and the comments and it def made the days go by a lot easier.

    Hometown is in PG county, MD, currently residing in Boston after a stint in Philly. Mildly interesting fact: I am a Scrabble queen.

  94. Y’all the bess, y’all deeeed it! Congrats on the milestone and here’s to many, many more!

    Sister Toldja (who is 5’9 and fine, from the Chi, Howard educated, Brooklyn residing, a good cook, single and sh!t, etc.)

  95. Ok y’all I am MAD LATE cause for the first time this year (yes I mean since January ) I actually been working ALL Day. I too am a government worker, I work for the state of RI, live in Providence.

    I been here since day one, matter of fact I read Champ’s Blogs on his MySpace page and told him I appreciated his truth and comedy (I laughed so hard), he then sent me a link to the page (VSB) to check it out. When I checked it out it had not been launched yet.

    Before VSB, I was a blog virgin. The Brothers were my first.

    interesting fact(s) about me:

    I know ish, just random ish, my girls call me Brittanica (a play on my real name) cause I know the most random nonsense and some of it is actually useful.

    I am not an American Citizen, been living here (in the US) since I was three and don’t have a foreign accent

    I have visited all but 12 of the US states

    within the next two months I will be applying to a PhD program at UMaryland, even if I dont get in I am prolly leaving my cushy job and moving out of RI.

    Oh and in true Kanye fashion I am not happy that I didn’t so much as get an honorable mention for any of the first ever VSB awards.

    Happy 100th, this is the third 1ooth celebration I have attended this year. OH HAPPY DAY!

    **Shout out to Liz who was at the 2nd celebration with me.**

    Much love

    VSB is that CRACK!

    • Oh and in true Kanye fashion I am not happy that I didn’t so much as get an honorable mention for any of the first ever VSB awards.

      I totally gave P hell about this. Or at least, I wagged my finger at him LOL.

    • Oh and in true Kanye fashion I am not happy that I didn’t so much as get an honorable mention for any of the first ever VSB awards.

      yeah mama…I was wondering where you were in there…I honestly thought I would get nothign for being the founding mother of the corner…but you are more than welcome to join me in the corner for some Smirnoff Raw (Green) Tea!

  96. Congrats Panama, Champ and Liz. I love the site and read it everyday even if I don’t always comment.

    I’m in Glendale, CA. 15 minutes north of downtown LA. But, I’m movin’ to the westside real soon. Thinking of the traffic makes my head hurt…

    Something interesting about me is that I have a son who is a top 100 in the class of 2009 for basketball. (depending on the ranking you believe) hence the name.
    I guess that isn’t really about me, huh…..

  97. CONGRATS VSB! You two men, and the little lady, provide me with hours of entertainment and help to keep the cubicle blues away! I honsetly feel like I do a little growing everytime I read the posts and comments. Thanks so much for the laughs and advice!

    Wishing you many many more!

  98. Congrats y’all! This is the only blog I read on a daily basis- but now I have to read it from home because I work at a Jesuit institution (don’t want to get kicked off the network lol). I never comment ’cause I get here too late but I had to give a shout out on your anniversary :D I’m in Baltimore so let me know when the DC party happens!

  99. Ah congrats to our wonderful hosts! I’m here daily reading this veritable book of life for those of us in the demograpic.

    Ive made it here from Baton Rouge via kthxbi.com to thekillacal, to Panama MF’in the Arsonist Jackson.

    Did Liz have a site before? Cuz maybe I used to read it? Vague hazy memory.

    I’m a fan on facebook and The Champ added me as a friend. Specialness +1.

    I aint, go-in-no-where. I cant be stopped now. Unless Gustav fks me up.

  100. congrats on the 100 posts!! ive been cyber stalking the three of you for a number of years (hey blackmartha!) so there was no way when you first started posting did i think that you would keep this up and sh*t. so i give you matter props for that!! i wish i could participate more in the comments but alas the job has you blocked, so i have to read as much as possible through my treo. anyway again congrats
    location – va beach
    fun fact – im a walking oxymoron a vegetarian for health reason who drinks like a fish. true story!

  101. CONGRATS GUYS (and LIZ), i’m reading up here in the NY on LI i love this blog it makes my day with the witty insights al of you have on love life and all in between. Keep up the good work and i will be coppin’ the ” Its hard out here for an abstinent pimp” tshirt.

    peace and love:)

  102. Congratulations VSB!

    Avid reader, first time poster! However, I did write a letter to my former self…I just didn’t post it…It was quite therapeutic! Oh well maybe next time.

    I don’t remember how I ran across you guys, but I am SO glad I did. The posts and comments bring entertainment to my other wise boring and dull work day. I too have mastered the art of the credit card size window! No one is ever the wiser, that is until I die laughing and someone comes over to make sure I haven’t cracked up, and then I have to try and explain the humor that is the VSB!

    Keep doing your thing and wishing you many more!

    BTW, I bring greetings from the Carolinas! South Cak to be exact!

  103. Happy Centennial, VSB!

    im pretty new to this blog, but it has quickly become my most favoritest! i read all the past ones over the course of two days (yeah, a sista needs a hobby!) and dont let me get that internet connect at home…its bout to be a problem! lol

  106. AAaaah I’m a day late and a dollar short for the Centennial! I blame several people, each of who is gonna get a lashing in the current post. Interesting facts about me: I’m lactose intolerant, I have a extra set of teeth (I say they’re backups in case I ever get in a bar fight), I love alliteration and cheap puns, and I am a great cook.

  107. Congrats VSB. I’ve been reading for a few months and I am loving it. This is the first thing I read every morning. I got up on your site by way of a friend who insisted I read it. I thank him often. I’m originally from Houston, but now home for me is New Orleans.

    Something interesting about me, I may have been the first sista they’ve ever seen in Rab, Croatia, but they loved me just the same. Also, I just got back in my house after that trick Katrina ruined it, so Gustav had better act right.

    Thanks for keeping me sane before I have to turn in my TPS report. Keep up the good work.

  108. It makes me happy to see so many sophisafated folks from Memphis… *tear*

    Keep doing ya thang.

    VSB: what can I say that hasn’t already been said? I love this site and I am mad as hell that I don’t have the time to read it like I use to…

    Random fact: I am the realest “square” that you will ever know…

  109. I missed all the merriment?? Jigga what…that’s because I’ve been actually having a life and dating grown-ups (as the champ so snarkily put it) these days so ya’ll can understand. Await my return snitches…I just quit the summer job ayer so I’ll be back on VSB pronto! Congrats and ish and I plan on getting nominated for some kinda award for the bicentennial fa sho.

    HEY MUSE…look here for a clue…Fight on Trojans! :::laughs sinisterly:::

    About Me:
    *I live in the Bay Area (CA), too.

    *I’m a graduate student in a clinical psychology program–I’m doing my internship and dissertation now, and will graduate next year.

  115. Hey…congrats, keep the hilarious posts coming! I used to read the posts from my Treo by copying and pasting the previous day’s post into a Word document. Then I would email it to myself and download it from onto my phone.

    In other words, this is a fly ass blog, the only one I read regulary (not a big fan of them generally). I have a BlackBerry now, so I can read the whole thing from my phone, which helps me stay entertained at work, on the train, in line at the grocery, etc. Whenever my ADD kicks in for the day, lol. Ya’ll need to write a book and make some real money, this is great material. It’s not just the topics, but how they’re written…

    Anyway, I post once in a while, but not enough. That may be because I’m a pretentious woman from Brooklyn :-)

    DC is repping heavy in here! And so are my fellow Nigerians :-)

    My homegirl told me about this site, so I checked it out and am spreading the gospel.

  117. Damn sorry I missed the check in and everything. You did this the day after my birthday. I was fulla debauchery for a week. Back to the regular.

    Newark NJ via DC. So it counts as a vote for a NYC bash.
