I had this whole post idea ready to go for today then I realized that I couldn’t come up with a title for it. So I scrapped it.
Yes, you read that right. I scrapped an entire post because I couldn’t come up with the proper way to present it to you, the people, the masses, the folks. Then I remembered an idea and question I had a while back. See, one thing that we love about VSB ’round here (no Memphis Bleek) is that we’ve managed to establish actual repoires with ninjas and non-ninjas who frequent these parts. We’ve done various icebreakers to find out about our community for the purposes of doing awkward demographic data mining so that one day we could sell all of that information to Hennessey or Cognac or one of the other companies hell bent on destroying what’s left of the Black community.
Like St. Ides.
Anyway, one idea that we never really tapped into was probably the most obvious and potentially the most interesting:
How’d you come up with your handle? Or hell even your Twitter handle for all of us who spend as much time on Twitter as we do with our families and pugs. While I know that some folks handles are as simple as a variant of their names, some folks have very interesting ass names. So I figured, what the hell, spill the beans.
I’ll start. In DC, when I’m out and about, I often introduce myself as Panama. For some of you that might sound ridiculous, but the truth is, PJ, is an actual living and working nickname, especially in DC. Most folks dont remember my real name for anything but Panama is a name everybody always remembers. I’ve actually had the nickname WELL before I started writing anywhere.
For starters, I was born in the country. Yep. That is from whence I came. My birth certificate is in Spanish and English. But the way that the name was truly borne was out of a trip I took to Lake Lanier north of Atlanta, for our senior week at Morehouse. Me and my boys were walking to the entrance and for some odd reason – I do a lot of “for some odd reason” things – I decided to start walking through some bushes. They looked inviting. They welcomed me like Gaia was in there massaging feet. Anyway, one of my boys look at me and is like, “who the hell are you supposed to be? Panama Jack?” I was like, “naw, homey, I’m Black. Make that Panama Jackson.” Just that simple.
Later that night when I got home I went on AOL and got me a PanamaDJackson (had to add the D, which stands for Dontavious) screenname. I added the “D” because PanamaJackson was taken. That was in like 2001. So anyway, that’s how I came up with my name for all those that didn’t know. Or couldn’t remember.
So what’s your story?
Happy Friday and Happy Memorial Day!

Monday we’re off. But don’t forget if you’re in DC that on Saturday, June 2, 2012, we’ve got another edition of REMINSCE at Liv Nightclub coming up! Except this time, we’re gonna be celebrating my birthday! Please come out and hang with your boy for a little while. I’d really appreciate it. Plus, it’s free before 11pm w/RSVP (reminiscedc.eventbrite.com) and $10 after. AND there’s an open bar from 930-1030 WITH NO DRESS CODE. You can come in shorts because it gets HOT in there.
Yaay!
I’ve never had a nickname that stuck…
My ex called me margarita, mamacita, marlita, and then just lita.
My mom calls me Marie which is not my name.
My “handle” (this is a new phrase for me) is just my first initial and middle name. I’m boring.
Mine is similar to yours; larenee is a very obvious combo of first and middle name. (Although I’ve never said it out loud, in my mind it’s pronounced lah-renee). No Los Angeles over here. I’m representing TN.
a fellow 10-eye-seeing I see….i’m from Memphis.
I preach, so my handle is preacha!!
watchu preach hun?! I’m a preacher too. I preach Jay and Africa. You? What’s your specialization?
FYI Mami, I wish I could “like” your comments.
awwww, thanks hun!!!!! preciate dat!
*thumbs up* NORF MEMPHIS IN THIS BIATCH!!!
lol my bad. i gets excited about repping my hood!
For a LONG time, I was TERRIFIED with your hood. North Memphis was DEFINITELY no man’s land for me. lol
Yes!! Nashville up in here!
Born in GA, but basically raised in TN. Memphis, that is. My fam has roots in the south, but I couldn’t tell you the name of my neighborhood now. I have no idea. Boundaries are so unclear to me.
MJoy…..Almond Joy……No relation???? Okay.
as long as you know that you’re boring its okay. lol.
Firsty thristy. LOL
my femmmmmmbooo is FIRST! Congrats.
I initially thought your handle was MJoy because you are a ball of sunshine, like seriously. Oh well!!!
You are too sweet. I use my middle name a lot bc it means a lot to me.
My mom came very very close to losing me when she was preggo but obviously didn’t. My dad said he never felt such joy then when I survived and he saw me for the first time, hence the middle name. My daddy rocks.
iHeart my fembooooooooo!!!!!!
*e-huuuuuugsssss* lots and lots and lots and lots of them—–>as u would say!lol.
Awww… now that’s sweet!
That is too sweet!
Awwww, I love that!
I just thought that it was a clever play on “Enjoy”.
I thought it was based on the initial of her first name (which I happen to know since I’m VIP and sh*t) and the fact that she brings joy to all of us. (But especially me doe)
That was a touching story too though. A miracle baby just like my mother. God did me some favors obviously
@ jmtg,
awwwwww! R u like this in real life?!
@Jmtg- I thought the exact same thing. I thought it was her 1st initial + “joy”. Oh well we were wrong lmao.
In real life he’s better.
@ Mami- I don’t cake like this in real life. Not in public anyway. I do like to make (the right) women feel awesome though. I take pride in the art of the compliment. I hate that generic sh*t too. I get specific and I don’t say it unless I meant it. I don’t over do it though. I give em just enough for it to have a potent effect. I’m sure you can relate tho
k. I can’t relate. I dish out compliments like I’m getting paid!!!!
Complimenting is the sincerest form of flattery.
Also could everyone tell where.they are from!!
And when is our VSB get together?
Oooh, yes! I’d like to know where everyone is from as well. It seems like we have a lot of international friends. I’ll start… I’m originally from Omaha, Nebraska (no, I didn’t grow up on a farm), but now live in Little Rock, AR.
Oh, and my screen name? That’s easy. Aly is short for Alyson.
*waves from across the sea*
I am an international VSS (but not really). I live in Korea now, but originally from Souf Flawda. I get down to Trick Daddy and Bizzle in the privacy of my own home. In public I say I’m not a fan of ignorant Miami music. Nowadays I listen to MBLAQ and Miss-A.
*waves* I am an international VSS too. Obviously from my handle, I am Kenyan and live in Nairobi.
My pet name is a short form of my ethnic name and it is what most of my friends and family call me.
*whispers* HEY ANASTASIA!!! Haven’t seen yo loud self for a min!
*hugs*
Cheek Breezy!!!
Girl I’m about!!
xoxoxoooooooo
Woooop! Good to see ya!
I’m from the midwest. Yay! Lived all over, including overseas in Germany. Now I hail in Cali…and I can’t wait to leave this bytch!!! Lol
Girl I can’t wait for you to get out to!! I just moved from there and it was an interesting cultural experience!
Why so eager to roll??
Frankly…too many uneducated, programmed military black folks and too many white folks who want to do the same thing, look the same way and so on.
I value diversity of all types (racial, cultural, variety in things to do, etc) and it’s just not here. I love the sun here though. They can keep the rest though.
What part of Cali Mo? ‘Cause I understood Cali (maybe just some parts) to be very diverse.
San Diego
Really? U hate deigo? Its paradise down there! I always wanted to marry some old coot & retire in La jolla. Lmmfooooo!
Right?! I LOVE San Diego… but, then again I don’t live there. But, I would give it a shot!
I am originally from Cali but am now a Georgia girl. Northern Cali is VERRRRRY diverse. Actually that is what I miss the most, because where I live there are only blacks, whites, and mexicans. No Indians, Japanese, Chinese, Somalians, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Italians, etc etc……. ugh.
Hey Ms. Quita!
I’m in Cali reppin’ the Bay right now! I was raised in Los Angeles though
Mo-VSS: Another pretty .avi gurllllll!
Thanks!
I’m from Africa. Woohoo.
The way you typed this had me dying, LMAO!
what’s funny?!
The way you typed it, it looked as if you said it sarcastically.
Solitaire is my line name, easy enough. I’m originally from Detroit, but i call Chicago my home. I live in Mozambique right now tho. Oh yeah-other nicknames include BK -given to me by my best friend in high school. I used to wear this shirt from Hot Topic with ‘BAD KITTY’ written in rhinestones and she thought it was hilarious, so she would call me ‘bad kitty’. But ppl thought it was weird, so she shortened it to BK and it stuck. Also, my boyfriend used to call me BBMG which stood for ‘Big Boobies McGhee’…just cause he thought it was funny…
Are you working in Mozambique? I wanna go!
Cal.i.forn.i.a checking in.
*waves* I am an international VSS too! Obviously from my handle, I am Kenyan and currently live in Nairobi City.
My pet name is a short form of my ethnic name and it is what most of my friends and family call me.
Yeah! Glad to see another Kenyan up in this here site. Am a VSB and my handle is Jimna. I have had that moniker since I was a snack..now am a full meal.
Nairobi Rocks!
#backtomylurkingways!
Out of all the Africans that I went to school with there were probably like 2 Kenyans at my school. I just went to my brother’s graduation and there were like 200 Kenyans in his class lol. They’re deep up there. As deep as Nigerians are in the rest of the d@mn world lol
Whoop! Whoop! Hey, Val! I’m reppin’ Cali too
Chicago in the house. Now should I do the typical ignorant, young black male thing and shamelessly brag about violent the city is? No? Darn it, I was looking forward to that.
Sidenote: I don’t give a walking, swimming, or flying f*ck what NY says, Chicago’s pizza is the best in the entire WORLD! We even got Italy mad as hell at us over here. Our deep dish is immaculate.
Sidenote-Squared: The Downtown area of Chicago is incredible. No matter what time of day it is, you can find SOMETHING to do.
Sidenote-Cubed: Ketchup on a hotdog is a No-No here. Don’t be surprised if you visit Chicago, try to do that sh*t, and a random Chicagoan stops what he/she’s doing just to knock the hotdog on the ground.
But other than that, if you visit Chicago, I hope you have a great visit! Just remember my advice.
LMAO – Not a ketchup-ed hotdog knocked to the ground, haha – That image has me rolling
I’m not even a huge hotdog fan but that “NO ketchup on a chi dog” is real in these streets. Especially ’round the Irish Catholic mofos who run dis. In fact, there is a spot here that will CUSS you out if you even ask for ketchup. They don’t even have it available there.
So, yeah, if a Chi’head sees you with ketchup on the hotdog, the following will occur:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAYL5H46QnQ
Accurate.
*Lmmfao*, I wish a ninja WOULD throw my hot dog on the ground cause I slather ketchup all on that bad boy. We shall engage in fisticuffs of the hood kind I tell ya.
I’m from NY but I prefer deep dish. So if I ever had an authentic Chicagoan pizza I would probably agree.
+1 and I say this with deep shame…
+1Trillion on Chicago pizza. I’ve finally tried “authentic” NYC pizza and I must say I am NOT impressed… Chitown stand up!
I have indeed laid the smackdown on a hotdog with ketchup. It’s high treason, i tell you.
Mild sauce on dem fries tho. I’m just sayin.
Or rather, fries w/ my mild sauce.
+Infinity
You were raised right.
haven’t been living in the chi for very long but i have noticed that you guys do have some good damn pizza
but this traffic………………………
@ThatUglyKid nailed it with this comment.
He missed one SUPER important word, tho: Harold’s.
You haven’t been to Chicago (ESPECIALLY if you have melanin) if you haven’t had Harold’s. You’re welcome.
I definitely didn’t forget about Harold’s. But…baby steps. We can’t just ninjas Harold’s as SOON as they arrive here. Because then we’d have a flux of ninjas tryin’ to move here, f*cking up our already f*cked up traffic. We got to make sure they grasp some basics before we’re sure they can handle Harold’s. Or else chaos ensues. And not the good kind like you’d find at an orgy….
Yes. Yes he did. WESTSIDE!!
+ “a hunned, thousand, trillion”
**Throws my C up, then walks out with my bag of Garretts**
I am from Michigan and I live in Chicago. I’ll put ketchup on a dog anytime. I even have one of those, “I put ketchup on my ketchup” t-shirts!
I’m from the Westside of Atlanta (West End) but I unfortunately reside in Norfolk, VA. Are there any VSBs and VSSs around here?
I’m in Richmond (trying to escape)… Not too far. *does VA sign* Two up two down
spent 19 years of my life in the RIC till 3 years ago, finally broke free from the 804 and fled the state. Trying to decide if I wanna continue holding it down for Raleigh though.
What don’t you like about the Nawful, Norfick, Nof*ck, or whatever them 757 ninjas is calling that place these days? I have a blast when I go there, granted I’m chilling in Ghent most of the time.
Westside of Atlanta always warms my heart.
As the resident Adamsvillain and Flatlander in the hizzouse. I gots nothing but love for my ninjas.

I’m from Boston, born and raised, on the playground is where i spent most of my days.
Boston in the building! Dorchester is my home and heart hence the twitter handle @DotsDaughter. The VSB handle I tend to use when I de-lurk on occasion is a combo of my gubment first and last names
I apologize in advance, as I’m contractually obligated to sing the state song:
“Ooooooooooooooooooklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain….”
Except the “wind” is usually in the form of a tornado, at which point I’m in a closet somewhere.
One of my top five musicals! *Theater Nerd*
Im from NC and my online name is chanelle (middle name) and but my real name is carisa, which noone seems to know how to spell or say. I was also wondering when there would be a meetup too.
from the land of hockey, steve nash, celine dion, drizzy, beebs, poutine and coloured money.

#volleyandthunder
Don’t forget, KB, that you’re also from where folks throw the random “u” in words that end in “or”…But I’m from the D, where we’re all half Canadian, so we accept either spelling (neighbor/neighbour, color/colour, etc…)
Quick question: Is it really so cold in the D- as a one T-Baby once opined?
Yes.
When I left Korea last year (hard to believe it’s been a year already), I got to DTW and it was 46 degrees. And raining. I was wearing no outerwear whatsoever…just a t-shirt and some jeans. lol
And this was mid-May.
I still love Detroit though.
it can definately get cold. but there are parts of canada (to the west and the maritimes) that get colder.
think of it as minnesota + whatever states are on the atlantic coast. def colder than toronto.
*shivers just thinking about it*
LOL!
its not random to us!
it’s that british take-over thang.
hey cousin!! *waves from across the river*
What up doe, Cuz?!
It is, in fact, so cold in the D (just not today, since it was 90 degrees).
Tucson, AZ by way of Compton, Cali. Eastside all day! Currently in Gilbert, AZ (for those that don’t live here that’s apart of the Greater Phoenix area)
Y’all really trying to trap and trace now, huh?! Originally from music city, but now a rack city chick… for another month or so. After that, I guess I’m gonna go where the wind takes me. Looking to go East of the Rockies.
Born in Louisiana, grew up as a military brat, (which included stints in DC, Maryland, and Virginia), ended up in Detroit…..so I rep Detroit because that’s where I graduated HS. Plus I’m a huge fan of all Detroit/Michigan teams anyway.
Barry Sanders was and still is That Dude.
K. Marie is my real name….sort of.
To me, my first name is so common. I mean, like a gazillion people in the world have it. And even though I love my name, I also like being different. Since my dad and my uncles do the first initial, whole middle name thing, I figured I’d do the same. And it works. There are people who are itching to know what the K stands for, but I’ll never tell.
The only thing working against me? I have a twin sister and her name rhymes with mine. So….yeah…..I guess it’s really not that hard to figure out. LOL
I got nothin lol
LOL! If I gave you like one more clue, I’m sure you’d guess it.
But I can’t! It’s the one secret I just might be able to keep!
Karen and Sharon????
You are SUPER close. You have the right first letters….and that’s all I’m going to say!
Katie and Stacy?
Nope! I feel like I’m going to have to say it before the night is over or y’all are going to kick me in the back of the knee.
Katrina and Sabrina?
Nelly and Kelly?
Thanks to this reference, I’m going to have “Dilemma” stuck in my head all day.
Which is fine with me–that was a great song!
Lmao! Breezy be on some other sh*t lol That was a good one tho
You’re Keisha and your twin is Alicia? (Just guessing. lol)
Nope, but good guess! I actually have an older sister named Keisha!
Karmen and Starvmen?
Ooh, wait, Kettle and Settle?
Hahaha! If my parents named us any of those, I’d be right down at the Social Security office as soon as I could spell.
Kelly and Shelly
Do I win a door prize? Maybe a Kazoo, a giant clown eraser, or Facebook stock?
LOL….you would if you were right!
Katherine?
kim?
Kristin? Only problem is I don’t know what name with S rhymes with that… Least not off the top of my head.
Nope.
I’ll give y’all another hint, because I get annoyed when people make me play extended guessing games too. It didn’t really become popular until the 80s, when a soap opera character was given this name. In fact, that’s where my mom got it.
*blushing in advance*
did anyone say kelly or shelly
kammy or sammy?
kamila or samila?
sam i am or green eggs and ham?
HAHAHA!!!! Word to Dr. Seuss!
But none of those either.
It’s Kayla and Shayla. What do I win?????
Well dagnabbit…..I thought I had stumped everybody and you figured it out with the least bit of fanfare.
Speaking of fanfare…..
*throws confetti, releases balloons* Milk and cookies for everybody!
I would guess Kendall, but I cannot think of an S name that matches! lol
Katrina and Sabrina
And now that I’ve been outed, I’ll be commenting next week using my favorite childhood nickname: Taterbug.
No special story there. I’ve just been addicted to mashed potatoes since I started eating real food.
My handle’s the name of one my favourite Bleach characters
May he ride joyously through the night lands.
*slices you w/ Aizen’s sword*
oh. oops.
*kamehameha’s KJ*
*throws a Rasengan @ Kaname*
*dodges and entraps KJ in a Tsukuyomi*
My nerd heart rejoices at this entire exchange.
You know how we do
@KJ – although a Getsuga TenshÅ is far more appropriate in this context >_>
I know right
Glad to see that I’m not the only person nerdy enough here to pick a Twitter handle from anime.
@Jay – I’ve been using anime characters almost exclusively as my handles online when I started joining a variety of online communities (also helps in maintaining anonymity). I also saw your handle history down thread – Goku is the man
I sometimes rooted for Future Trunks as well – regular kid Trunks was a punk in dire need of an a** whoppin’
And, my son would love your character names. He is an anime fanatic! Um, me, not so much.
Well. My handle is @brran1… it’s actually my email address from undergrad..
When I started blogging back in 2007, I couldn’t come up with a name, so I picked that as I was checking email and BlackBoard at the time. Original, I know. lol.
My Twitter name (@_bran_don) is pretty much self explanatory.
So you passed on Brand-Done? Seems like there was some potential there with that one.
Well, I’m a Leo, and in a world full of fakes and unauthentic people, I’ve always considered myself to be one of the realest, most honest (sometimes to my own detriment), and most loyal people I know.
I’m considering a handle change soon, though. Not because anything in the preceding paragraph is false or going to change…..just time for something different.
“Well, I’m a Leo, and in a world full of fakes and unauthentic people, I’ve always considered myself to be one of the realest, most honest (sometimes to my own detriment), and most loyal people I know.”
Sigh. I don’t even want to believe in astrology, but this is so true for most of the Leos I know. Myself included. My whole being is off if I can’t be honest yet kind to people. If we’re playing head games and manipulating each other it’s gonna get ugly for both of us. I’d rather not. And yeah loyalty ain’t an option for me. If you’ve been down and you’re still down (not just because you stand to gain something) then I can’t neglect a true friend, relative, or companion.
I’m an Aries and I’m a hot-head…
It’s a fire sign and I definitely have a fiery personality.
There was nothing really that I had to add to your actual post, but I thought I’d get in where I fit in. Lol
That explains it. lol
Every Aries I know is a hot-head. Sagittarians, too, but not as much as the other two fire signs.
It’s taken a while to refine it, but I like the fire side of my personality. It comes in handy at times. And I’m fun to be around so that’s always a plus (yes…another character trait is confidence, lol)
Yeah my closest sister (who I currently live with) is an Aries. And so was my ex (the one I was in my most serious relationship with) so I know ALL about yall Aries women…smh lol
Screeeetch! Hold up! Shall we define “closet sister” please???
LMAO!!! Paranoia got mofos overlooking S’s and sh*t.
Hilarious! Color me embarrassed!
Ha! Yall silly. Blood sister. I don’t have no fake sisters. 3 real ones is enough lol
I have this vision of some poor woman locked up, big chain around her neck, like Rick James did back in the day.
LMAO!!! Breathe girl. Read those words S-L-O-W-L-Y.
Actually, I’m trying to get Mrs. Sigma_Since 93 to play that scene out for me. I told her I’d wear the braid wig!
Wait just a minute! Am I the only Aries woman that doesn’t have that fire temper and that wild side? I’m fun loving, a most people say sweet, rarely get angry. I’d say once every 3 years or so do I even get upset enough to raise my voice. Even then I don’t lose it and throw things or yell. I usually just let the person know that they are the the deepest part of Satan’s heart….okay didn’t say I didn’t have a flare for drama, but certainly not impulsive for aggressive at all. Maybe all those times I got in trouble as a kid acting out on impulse tamed me. lol
I’m a hot-headed Aries too! My sign is so damn accurate it makes me wanna slap some body. If anyone says the word ‘can’t’ around me it is game over. Patience? What is that? You wait while I march to the front. My brother is a Leo, made childhood interesting
I’m a fiery Aries too. *group hug*
I’m a non firey Aries, but I will join the group hug just cause I’m like that. ::Hugs:::
You’re non firey but your avi. and name is Cayenne….mmmkay.
Aries (star sign) checking in. Leo is my sun sign. I tend to be drawn to Leos. They got principles n’ sh*t.
Word.
Yeah us Leos are some loyal mofos. Sometimes to a fault.
+ 3.1415926
(Yeah, that’s pi for all my nerds out there. lol)
*serves self a slice of pi*
Since we’re having pi….#minuswell have some #iscream with it as well. lol
paaartay!
Leos FTW!
Why don’t you want to believe in astrology-it’s so scientific!
“and in a world full of fakes and unauthentic people, I’ve always considered myself to be one of the realest, most honest (sometimes to my own detriment), and most loyal people I know.”
This is how I feel. I’m blunt with people. I tell them how I feel. Add that to the fact that my tone of voice seems to permanently be stuck on the “Sarcasm” dial and hurt feelings ensue. I’m the guy who’d be the first to tell one of my homies, “Yo, your new girl aint sh*t, bruh.”
I don’t know Astrology, I think it’s a bunch of bull. But I’m a Capricorn and I’m told they’re known to be narcissists and very short-tempered, which fits me for the most part. I HATE being around dumb people. Because everytime they talk I feel like Amar’e when he did this:
http://h9.abload.de/img/untitled-1l7y7l.gif
Greatest. Animated. GIF. EVER!!
I KNOW! I said the same sh*t. The best Gif I’ve ever seen…
If I was EST I’d say that GIF was acknickulous!
@ TUK,
oh shooottttt……you just CONFIRMED something for me!!!!!FUG!
And what was that?
it is incriminating. Icant. Just forget it. But rest assured you just confirmed some partially hidden truth.
“it is incriminating.”
Incriminating? Wow. Why you go and say that? You do realise that sh*t just made me even MORE curious as to what the blue f*ck is going on, right?
^this whole exchange. lol
I don’t kiss and tell. Just continue posting.
So, I’m assuming it’s something bad…ruh oh!!!
boy, stop the questioning. I’m done.
Let’s talk about your what you call it, CRAVATOR INDUCING PIPER?!
If that’s what you want Nubian Goddess. Got any questions for me?
Dammit why am I just now seeing this gif? There is SO much I could’ve done with a few weeks back.
+1
I wish I knew more people like you. Then I’d have more quality friends. Here in NYC, so many ppl are playing the “fake-it-til-you-make-it” game of life, so it’s hard for me to decipher b/w the reals and the fakes.
yo that gif has me weak right about now!
This.
As a fellow Leo, I say do NOT change your handle. We Leo’s have this uncanny abilitiy to be caring and brutal at the SAME DAMN TIME!!!
@ PA – Tabernacle! I could never figure out how I was nice and and @sshole without trying to be either. Very well stated and sh*t lol
We don’t have to figure it out- we’re Leo’s man!!!!
Ahhh! Excellent point my friend lol
And if you’re faking it, heck no you should never tell. Yes, I’m assuming your talking about “you know” before reading the article.
Read the article.
A YEAR AND A HALF!?!?!?!?! That’s kray kray!!!
Your response was spot on though. Tell your partner what you would enjoy and see how that goes so you don’t have to tell them you’re faking it. If a man told me he was faking it… Like regularly, I don’t know what id do. There would be tears to say the least.
Snickers at MJoy thinking she’ll ever have to fake ANYTHING…
HEY-OHHHH……..
@ jmtg,
Where can I find a man like you?! Who CLAIMS his lady!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?
**Whistling/Hands In Pockets/Kicking Pebbles**

I FELT that comment right… *There*
*giggle* *giggle*
Hey now, we got a few youngsters here on VSB. Let’s not get too carried away with the sex subliminals. We got to set an example for all the youngins on here. I mean, for f*ck’s sake people, you never see me spouting sexual propaganda all over the place! Geez! It’s like being in a brothel around here…
Nope not you! Neva that. Mr. Galaxy the Destroyer
I know right….I vaguely remember something about the moon and the grand canyon and a pet name for his Mr. Happy Meal….
Slain!
*Gasp* Okay two things:
1. My peen’s name is Galactus The Ultimate Destroyher.
2. The fact that you remember its name, I’m going to pretend that it’s because my bedroom performances are world-renown, and I super famous.
3. My point still stands, I always keep it PG.
Yes, I know I said two. But I changed my mind. I’m a Capricorn, I do what I want…
I like the Ultimate Dehystroyer-Although i don’t believe him. I have to see to believe, I am a doubting Thomas. His abilities are fakking epic.
My handle on here is b/c I tried to get my friends to call me “Kay Beezy” (fa sheezy) and they wouldn’t. (I know, I know. Haters gon hate). My twitter handle stems from my extensive time in France and the fact that I’m a Francophile; people kept calling me “petite Americaine” or “Petite Martinique” and thinking I was diminutive so I took Petite back from the man. Haha
Oh, and if anyone cares, I’ll be at Reminisce next week. I enjoyed this month’s version.
Jealous
I’ll come grind on you!!!! mmmmh mmmh!! It’s gon be a good night for you baby!
You live in DC? Nice to meet you Leo, I’m Gemini!!
Nice to meet you as well.
Hey I will probably be there breakin a sweat. Just look for the girl dancing the WHOLE night to EVERY song. I just might make that drive and stay for a day or two.
LOL. That was me this month. Especially since they were actually playing good music. Unfortunately, I was horrendously overdressed for the event….Nobody told me there was no dress code until I showed up.

but just so you remember…there’s no dress code.
and make sure you come holler at me homey.
Awww man. Yall makin me miss DC and sh*t smh
DC is the shit and urine. Whenever I’m there, I feel like I’m some kind of High Priestess! Shiiiiiiid. And there is some cutie patootie Ethio boys, although, they got nuffin on my Naija BOOS!
Yeah, my reading was on some Fantasia sh*t last month. I was just happy to finally be back in The District and going to a party where they played good music.
Yeah, no more button-ups, ties or vests at Reminisce for this guy….I think I lost 7.3 pounds in that joint this month. lol
And I’ll definitely holla at a playa when I see you in the streets….lol
Yeah, my reading was on some Fantasia sh*t last month

We are NOT going to do any shots together. WHAT?! Do you see how excited I am on hurrr?! Then I take shots, it’s a motherlovers wrap! NOPE! Coffee, takes me to heaven. Shots will take me to utopia.
I may have to make that drive too… Who else gonna be there?
I think I might go, just so i can finally meet you.
Well….I’ll be there….
I don’t know if I should be insulted. Maybe I should find out who you are and stay on the other side of the room. Smh, politeness is a lost art.
Didn’t mean to insult….Come on out to the party. I’d like to meet you, too.
DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!!
yes! I would like to meet you both and anyone else. lol!

Yes, I was. I was the overdressed one. lol
Lol, which overdressed one? This is D.C. we’re talking about, remember?
NAME TAGS, PLEASE.
That would be a good idea for next weekend.
LOL….I forgot. I was wearing a green button-up with a black vest. And a matching green/black tie. And black jeans. Overdoing it to the max. I usually had no fewer than one drink in my hand the entire time I was there.
(But I was fresher than Febreze….in the major leagues….lol)
“(But I was fresher than Febreze….in the major leagues….lol)”
Just so you know…I’m stealing this statement…
Actually, I stole that from the rapper Red Cafe on his verse off of the Teach Me How To Dougie remix…..
“…Fresher than Febreze, in the major leagues
Yes, I’m the sh*t, so I do attract fleas….”
Rog is short for one of my five names (two middles and a junior) and this is the only website where I use anything close to my real name. My most used handle is Black_Wookie (with 88 for my birth year when its taken)
Origins:
look like a black wookie when he let his beard grow
weirdo, brown skin’ded always kept his hair low- MF Doom (Hoe Cakes)
Doom being one of my favorite rappers, and my penchant for letting my beard grow to the point of having a nickname (fuzzy wuzzy being one) and Wookie being a Stars Wars reference (Star Wars fan)
