Say what you will about the racial undertones of McDonald’s new chicken nugget commercials, fact is, they’re good and effective. Hell, just yesterday while trying to find something to eat for lunch, I decided to go to McDonald’s on the off-chance that I’d run into a crackhead some off-brand singing-arse ninja crooning, “why won’t you, share your love with me//girl you gotta 10-piece, don’t be so sting-ayyyyyyyyyy.”
No such luck. But I did order some crack the 10-piece chicken nuggets. And mm-mmm were they good.
I appreciated the processed goodness of McDonald’s chicken nuggets because of that commercial. Which means only one thing: advertising does in fact work.
(Unless it’s for TBS’s show House of Payne, which might be the WORST television show I’ve actually ever seen. No seriously, it’s that bad. I watched an episode the other day and it was painful. I can never get those 22 minutes of my life back. Luckily, the McDonald’s commercial played a few times. They weren’t being sting-ayyyyyyyyy. Thank you.)
For instance, when Girl A starts running to her homegirls to regale them with stories of all the…things their man won’t dooooooo-ooooo (sorry, I had a Joe moment), it subconsciously places a marker in Girl B’s head of, “hmm, she went to Jared, and he broke her off like that?! Man…I wonder…”
Now, that doesn’t mean that Girl B will run off and try to get some of that good sticky-icky-icky from Jared, but the thought is there. And besides, everybody knows that every kiss begins with “k”.
Fact#1: Women like to talk. And women like to talk to their friends about good things.
Fact #2: Women are trifling…to one another. Men may be trifling, but we do generally abide by the code.
If you talk to 8 out of 10 men, most of us will tell you that you don’t go bragging about your exploits, outside of the numbers game; mostly because we don’t really have to. Break a woman off properly and she’ll do all the mouth-work for you.
That’s a pun.
She’ll run her trap and sell you to a bunch of chick who didn’t even know they were in the market to buy. She becomes your own personal PR rep. Most women are akin a mid-level marketing agency who just got a lump-sum of money to peddle a new product. And if you don’t disappoint, hombre, she won’t disappoint. You’ll have more options than a Barack Obama presidency.
That’s a lot. And do you know why?
Because advertising works.
In undergrad, I remember these two chicks that stayed in the dorm with my Spelman sister. They began to HATE one another because of exactly what I said earlier. Girl A ran her trap. Girl B decided to see if she was lying. Boy was enjoying college and when opportunity knocked, he answered…literally. Two girls don’t speak anymore but Boy A has two more notches on his belt.
You know, if you think about it, pr0n is advertising. Sure it’s false advertising, but it leads to men and women both trying to find partners who can do acrobatic moves and often being disappointed when they realize that everybody isn’t able to do a running cartwheel, double axle with a back twist right into carnal position. But that’s neither here nor there.
To the women out there, have you ever run your trap about your exploits to your friends, only to have it comeback and bite you in the arse? Fellas, have you ever benefited from some chicking running her gums?
Or even better yet, people of VSB, does advertising work?
-VSB P aka THE ARSONIST aka TANGLE JIG P
I’ve only run my yap about sexual exploits to my girls AFTER we were broken up. Yep, sistas can be trife, so you gotta watch what you say about your man.
And advertising does work – right now one particular brand of ad is working. (my nerves, that is) Those damn Credit Report.com commercials make me wish they still sold TV bricks.
OMG, I’m first? This is such an honor; a proud moment in life that I will cherish forever and ever. : )
@RedBeanzNRice, hmmm you seem like you might want to take part in some anger management classes, just a thought
@Tallgent,
“…you seem like you might want to take part in some anger management classes, just a thought.”
Now see, if they still sold TV bricks I wouldn’t need to take those classes; it’s a conspiracy.
@RedBeanzNRice, I own a Foam Brick it was a door prize at some event I went to in college (15 years ago) its in a box around here somewhere
@Intellectual Hedonist,
“I own a Foam Brick it was a door prize at some event I went to in college”
*gasp* Are you serious? Cause I sure as heck would buy it from you, lol.
@RedBeanzNRice, so you’re saying you’re not taking advantage of the free credit report??
if you lived in DC, i’m guessing the commercial that would draw your ire would be the damn Empire (i dont even know what they sell) but i know the number b/c of the jingle…
Call 1-800-588-2300 Empiiiiiiire today!
now THAT is a jingle i know by heart and everytime it comes on tv i sing along. i believe they sell flooring type joints–carpet, hardwood, etc.
@Panama Jackson,
I heart the Empire song!! That is one commercial that is a classic. Been on since Bob Barker had black hair and is STILL on!
@Luvvie, we get the commercial here in Florida as well and I have no clue what it’s for…but the jingle does stick.
@Panama Jackson,
That commercial works… my mom called Empire for her new carpets.
Mom: “what’s that flooring place with the catchy song?”
Me: “Which song?”
Mom starts singing the jingle “Call 1 800…”
Mom and Me in unison “Empire!!!”
**mom picks up the phone and dials 1-800- 588-2300**
@blackberry molasses, LOL yall dont know nan about commercials until you have heard the t flowers attorney joint..
a chick that sounds like taraji from the hustle and flow joint comes on sanging
Igot them charges mayne,
I got them charges mayne,
t flowers wont you gone and represent me, mayne
the pulled me over cause my license was expired mayne…..
@shay-d-lady,
OMG…. the level of straight IGNANCE right there!
**laughing the laugh that isn’t really a laugh because you can’t get air in your lungs so it sounds like extra heavy wheezing**
I… can’t… *exhales*
can we send commercials to The Corner?!
@blackberry molasses,
“can we send commercials to The Corner?!”
No.
@shay-d-lady
LMBAO….Is this a commercial for real??
@V Renee, yes.. in fact here is the newest radio spot
Sippin on dat Goose/Rollin off da ex.
Police won’t let me loose, less I come up with a check.
Violate my personal space, searchin through my clothes
Found my weed, found my rose, now I’m locked up on the floor.
I got them charges, mayne.
I got them charges, mayne.
I call my lawyer T. Flowers, now I’m out again.
here is a local newspaper commentary about its ridiculousness
http://www.memphisflyer.com/memphis/Content?oid=oid%3A18845
@shay-d-lady, and another one
I came home from work and I’m lookin for my man
I found him in the bed sleepin wit my best friend
I went and grabbed his Glock, couldn’t stop, oh my god
Somebody call T. Flowers, I’m about to catch a charge.
He beat them charges, maine.
He beat them charges, maine.
Okay now this i absolutely refuse to believe is a commercial jingle.
no.
*smh* shay-d’s stories ALWAYS need more ppl. cuz they are soooo outrageous and unbelievable that you just need proof lmao
@shay-d-lady,
*wiping tears from face, cleaning screen after splashing hot tea all over it*
I.just.cant.
@shay-d-lady,
Oh. My. DAYUM.
BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!
Please tell me this was your own inspired orignal work…..
I provided a link upthread as my mo peoples… LMAO…..these are fa real, fa real commercials.. and lets not get into the mo money joints…
@shay-d-lady, i didn’t think this alleged commercial could actually exist, but when i saw memphis, it all made sense (no offense to any memphisonians)
oh.my.word.
shay-d you would be the one to know about this commercial!!
see i always have the opportunity to be first, but never take it. one day my friends, one day it shall come.
as far as me talkin to my homies, yes it has occurred, but hey, i was young, first really real boyfriend, only 2 yrs ago. but as the relationship progressed i told them little. it didn’t bite me in the ass though and when my homegirls start to go into detail about their men, i stop them, cuz their bf’s repulse me.
but damn, i been fiendin fuh dem damn nuggets. panama, don’t be stingy[ayyyyy].
btw, new font? or my screen?
@jana.love,
“see i always have the opportunity to be first, but never take it.”
Shew, not me. I always get horn-swaggled by Kamakula and/or Luvvie, lol.
lol, other than once last week, it’s been almost a month since I (or Luvvie) were the first posters. However, it seems we’re the ones that get remembered. . .
I accept (both for myself and Luvvie) all the glory and honor.
Luvvie – get at me later to bask in the glow
@kamakula,
What can I say, Kamakula? We are a memorable pair.
*basking in glow*
@kamakula and Luvvie, “Luvvie – get at me later to bask in the glow”
is it me or are there crazy s3xual undertones in this?
“is it me or are there crazy s3xual undertones in this?”
You know those are Kamakula’s specialty.
@jana.love, its a new font, but i didnt do that on purpose. lol. i have no clue how this happened.
and man, them nuggets were just lovely. funny thing is, it seemed like everybody was ordering some nuggets yesterday…lol. those commercials are golden.
@Panama Jackson,
and man, them nuggets were just lovely. funny thing is, it seemed like everybody was ordering some nuggets yesterday…lol. those commercials are golden.
i havent tried a mcnugget in ages, but those commercials are pretty damn close to convincing me
@The Champ,
yeah, i definitely ordered some on my lunch break…then kinda wanted some more after reading this post…
that’s one thing i don’t do. my momma taught me early not to be telling all my business about what the man can and cannot do. also, she taught me never to have women friends all up in my house, hangin out with my man. i tell them all the bad stuff, though.
@charli skipper,
I will tell the bad in a heartbeat, but then later it makes my girls wonder “Why the hell she thinking about keeping that ninja?!?!”
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
yes. yes it does. lmao!
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
This isnt very fair to dudes. My ex used to do this to me, she go tellin them every bad thing I did but none of the good. Had them joints screw facing me….
@I take my check in all Peysos please!,
That’s what she wanted them to do, to hate your a$$… lol
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
“Why the hell she thinking about keeping that ninja?!?!”
I agree… when all they hear is the bad things they end up hating your man. lol… that’s funny though
or it does the exact opposite. your friends start to wonder if he’s REALLY that bad and sometimes feel bad for him and/or go find out for themselves what his deal is.
@Gem of the Ocean,
this happens too… sigh.
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
**planning ti show this comment thread to anyone who disputes my opinion about women being nucking futs**
@charli skipper,
i don’t like that either! callin me to tell me he dun cussed your ass up and i’m sittin on the fone line “you betta leave dat fool!” then next week i’m like, “oh who’d you see the movie with?” answer: “gurrrrl, with mah boo”
uhh, the same boo that cussed you up!?! goodness.
@charli skipper,
charli, we might be sisters! my mom said the exact same thing!
Unless he’s turning into superman in bed…I am not telling a soul and I’m only telling if he does that because well…that whole spinning thing is kinda cool.
Also…I do consult the ladies if there’s something I’m trying to do but can’t figure out…like when I dated someone tall I called bestie cause she’s 4’11 and he’s 6’3…or when I had someone small I called a white friend (just kidding)…I dunno it’s the way it is…
Does those this ninja just pissed me off/did something really sweet moments count?
@Jac,
“or when I had someone small I called a white friend (just kidding)…I dunno it’s the way it is…”
That just started my day off right…lol.
@Jac,
nah, i dont think that counts, Jac…i dont think theres a problem with, little “awww” and little “oh hell naw!” moments being shared….my girls often come talk to me about stuff cuz i offer perspective and will be straight with them and tell them if they are ackin a damn fool. but hook up with a friend’s man? nah, thats not me. i dont care what he’s doin….however, i would like a roster list of his nearest and dearest friends along with their stats to see if cant just replicate…
Yes advertising works, in fact it makes me weary, because my SO is a poet, and tonight me and that poet bragged about each other on stage…. I’m scurred… but best believe I will cut a bi*ch if she try …. (kidding, but not really)
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
Let me know when and if you need to roll – I’m always up for some gratuitous violence. heh,heh.
@Lil’T,
i’ll drive the hell out of a get-away car….just sayin.
@shatani,
I appreciate it!
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
yeah, that whole braggin about what you got on stage… hmmm… fell into that trap in college. I learned my lesson with thequickness.
That being said, let me know if you need to roll on a broad. I go hard and ain’t nevah scurred.
@Relax, Relate, Alise, slightly off subject, but it used to drive me crazy in college how all the live poetry events would always be about one of the 3 things: sex, revolution, or love.
now that i think about it, what else do poet-college-students have to talk about…
but i oft found it interesting that the chicks who’d go real hard with the explicit poetry would be upset with all of the extra attention they’d get…after spending 5 minutes discussing in detail how they’d make their man smile…if they had one…
@Panama Jackson,
But really what else is there to talk about?
Rappers talk enough about money, drugs and violence. Sex, Love and Revolution need PR people too!
@Ms. Sula,
Thanks you! Couldn’t have said it better myself (which is kinda sad bc I am supposed to be a poet, lol)
@Ms. Sula,
i guess this is why my sports and food-themed spoken word act never caught on.
i was before my time and sh*t
@The Champ,
:snickering loudly: (is that even physiologically possible?)
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
Gurl you now the ePosse is down! We don fought for less! lol
House of Payne is straight butt, thank you kind sir for telling the world that.
As for dudes running their mouth, I gotta agree and disagree. I have been told when a girl has a mean head game if she was a Jump or Bustdown. But yes the girlfriend is off limits, you don’t need to fantasize about my girl.
As for girls running their mouth I tend to stay away from my girlfriends friends. I have been in a situation where I took advantage of Black Man Blogging Privilege and got to know one of my readers too well. Her friends started getting at me more often but they live in another city so that’s a no go. I did find out that there was another male using his BMBP and ran through them all though. I heard he got at them from word of mouth but he got put on blast in the end so no thanks.
Good blog though keep it up.
@James Nantucket,
“House of Payne is straight butt…”
Ya know, the first season is the worst. But after they got to understand each other’s acting style, it seemed to be a lil better.
Curtis is the best one on the show – he’s funny.
@RedBeanzNRice,
There’s just something about 400 lbs black people screaming that turns me off. I dunno maybe its me worried none of them are taking their insulin shot is a constant cliff hanger.
@James Nantucket,
“There’s just something about 400 lbs black people screaming that turns me off.”
Now see, you know you wrong fa that, lol. But to be honest, Ella’s body style makes me go all screwfaced when I see her on screen – I think her lil baby arms that can’t go past her waists is what causes the mental confusion.
@RedBeanzNRice, ella does have the john mccain arms dont she? LOL but yeah it has definitely improved…what happened to Allen Payne though..he used to be a really good actor..
@Shay-d-lady,
lol@ john mccain arms. Yep she does. But Allen? I dunno; it’s like he doesn’t even try anymore. It doesn’t seem like the show is scripted – it’s more like improv. In that case, he’s just bad at improv acting, lol.
@RedBeanzNRice, i find it hard to believe that there are any redeeming qualities about that show. its just bad all around.
@Panama Jackson,
Just Bad all around. I hate to even watch the preview of the upcoming show. A waste of time and life. 30 Seconds I will never get back. Just plain Booty.
@Buppieatworkbutnotreallyworking, word.life.
and welcome.
@Buppieatworkbutnotreallyworking,
Welcome!! **Diva Dust ™**
@Buppieatworkbutnotreallyworking,
just passin’ through but….welcome! *gold stars*
i agree it’s not what i’d call a “good” show. i mean, some of the acting is sketchy, some of the jokes seem forced, and some of the storylines get outrageous (the crackhouse scenes from the first few episodes, anyone??).
that being said, i don’t think it’s a terrible show. i think it brings out some quality family dynamics in many households (read: black homes)and a lot of the issues are very relavent. some of it is a little ridiculous and far-fetched, but hell, it’s TV!!
i don’t mind the show and watch it every now and then. there are some scenes that have me in stitches from laughter. other times i just watch and smh.
@Gem of the Ocean,
true dat..whatever happened to managed expectations..this aint citizen kane..but its entertaining nonetheless…sometimes i wanna see bad actin/plots and stuff-turn my brain off for a sec.
@Princess Duvet, and GEM let me co sign both of your comments….
lmao!! i don’t mind lowering my expectations or standards to watch shows such as HOP. i am also willing to give TP’s new show “Meet The Browns” a shot too–i love Leroy Brown and all his ashiness, he gets me every time.
now, if i wanted to lower my IQ i’d just watch BET for a few milliseconds. and as a grad student, i need all the neuronal strength i can muster, so i just won’t go there…
@Gem of the Ocean, you know a show officially sucks monkey nuts when you actually have to “manage expectations” to enjoy it.
i like “you got served”, that doesnt make it a good movie. i had to suspend reality AND the 5th dimension for that movie to make sense and be good.
thing is, you have to “manage expectations” with all of tyler perry’s sh*t…they’re only good in a vacuum…
…or if you turn your head slightly to the left…after the hurricane.
1st of all, i didn’t say anything about “managed” expectations. i said i use lowered ones to watch this show along with others. all shows are not created equal thus shouldn’t be held to the same standards. sometimes you gotta let ish just be.
2nd, i never said the show was good. in fact, i started my 1st sentence by saying it wasn’t…
3rd, as you mentioned with You Got Served, a production doesn’t have to be GOOD to be LIKED. if it tickles your fancy, for whatever reason, then so be it. you (and others) not liking HOP (or any TP prod) and thinking it’s the worst ever is fine by me. i don’t get paid to do PR for the show. i’ll continue to watch it when and as i please.
@Panama Jackson,
i tried watching it once, and turned it off after literally 7 minutes. every attempted joke made me cringe, and i just couldnt take it anymore.
theres nothing, i repeat, nothing worse than bad comedy. not even lima beans
@The Champ,
Things that are worst than bad comedy:
*Broccoli
*Beets
*The stench of a hobo
*The stench of the mouth of someone with halitosis
*The stench of failure
*Gingivitis
These are just a few…
why you hatin on broccoli????????
and beets are GREAT convo pieces when discussed in the context of The Office…
Nope, can’t say that I have. I keep the treats I get to myself.
Also, my friends and I don’t have the same taste in men.
I used to talk all the way through a ninja that is just terrible though. The World would know of his whackness with the quickness.
Aight. Going to bed. F**kin around with y’all will make me oversleep. Its bad enough y’all jack up my productivity in the office… I ain’t letting y’all get me before I get there. Night!
@blackberry molasses, ditto. a dude better not be super wack. because if he’s not super-nice, then i’m excusing myself to the bathroom so i can send a text message in real-time.
@blackberry molasses, LMAO yes superwackness will make me not only never speak to you again but also put your a$$ on full blast…unless you were a really nice guy and then I will avoid you at all cost and when my girls ask what happened I will respond…girl…umph….
@blackberry molasses,
yeah, ive done that…theres at least one dude that will have to try hard to get some tail in philly! lmao…alright, maybe my word o’ mouf aint that far and wide…but i let folks know. that right there? you dont want nunnadat!
1. No. That has never happened. Sure, I girl-talk and gossip with my girls and we talk about sex so some stuff gets out. But I never straight up give all kinds of details. Not because I’m afraid she’ll want to sample, but because that’s tacky and pointless. It has just never happened though, that one of my friends was hype over something I said and wanted to get with one of my guys.
Not saying a friend has never been with someone I had been with before, but it wasn’t because of advertising.
2. On the flipside, I haven’t listened to a chick brag about her man and think to myself, “gee, can’t wait to get me some of that!” Nah. Now maybe if she put it to song, like with a lil jingle and cute graphics, I might be inclined to buy. lol
3. That commercial is awesome and I like to sing along. LOL. I haven’t had Mickey D’s in a minute, but that commercial DID make me consider stopping in for some McNuggets Lovin’.
@LisaAngelaPamelaRenee,
1. Exactly! It’s moreso because it’s tacky and really not appropriate that I don’t share the details. Maybe I don’t have a lot of friends, but I just don’t see my advertising (if any) enticing a friend to sample my man. Kinda does not make sense to me.
2. Maybe because your #2 is true for me as well. It never crossed my mind to sample a friend’s dude off of what she said.
3. I don’t understand why folks are up in arms about this commercial. I don’t eat McDonald’s, but I found the commercial HILARIOUS! Don’t be stingayyyyyy.
@Ms. Sula, people who are up in arms at this commercial need love in their life. this commercial is just peachy!
@Panama Jackson,
I feel like I’m missing out. I have yet to see this commercial. Then again, I only watch TV when football is on. Otherwise I’m neck deep in my Netflix rentals
okay… i saw it.
two words….
JUST.DUMB.
I couldn’t stop laughing at how DUMB it was. In fact, I’m still involuntarily snickering
@blackberry molasses, but isn’t your life just better now?!?
isn’t it?!?!
huh?
huh?
@Panama Jackson,
indeed. cuz i can’t stop laughing and I’m e mailing the link to my peoples so they can share in my joy
@blackberry molasses,
I just saw it too. iDAHD at the “dont be stinggaaayyy”
This post = non-fiction. If you can put it down, then you really don’t need to say too much (especially on different college campuses).
Me: Hi, I’m ________.
Girl: Oh, I’ve heard plenty about you.
Me: I’m sure you have….
and the rest is history.
And fast food is disgusting.
@J.R. Bernard,
You not gone talk trash bout my nuggets! Don’t you know dat dey ALL WHITE MEAT!? lol!
@Lil’T,
we’re just not sure which animal! but the meat is most definitely white! well, except for those gray parts…
@shatani,
Girl, don’t you remember the old nuggets? They were tasty (to a kid) but if you looked up the definition of “mystery meat” in the dictionary you’d see that old nugget. They were grey and purple on the inside.
@Lil’T,
my stomach just turned… and I was so looking forward to my brie and fruit plate. thanks for that. you owe me $6.95 plus tax, homie.
@blackberry molasses,
Sorry BB – but once I pedal my ill-gotten Diva Dust on the skreets I’ll be able to reimburse you.
@Lil’T,
I can’t believe I missed this… don’t be peddling ill gotten Diva Dust ™ on the streets girl.
Do that and Imma have to get all Frank Lucas on yo a$$.
We here are SparklyA$$, Inc. gots a reputation to uphold. I will license you for an independent distributorship…with me taking a 25% loop of the profits. Deal?
@Lil’T, don’t be peddling ill gotten sparkly goods my friend. it’s not a good look…lol.
mmmmmm brie and fruit. yum
@Gem of the Ocean,
A frequent friday night theme at my house.
@Lil’T,
They were grey and purple on the inside.
i just threw up a bit in my mouth. thanks and sh*t
I try and keep the commentary to a minimum.
I value privacy and I just don’t feel comfortable discussing my sexual exploits with someone other than the person I’m committing them with.
Secondly, seeing your co-assailiant in a room of people, catching one another’s eyes and remembering all the things you did right before that moment.
That luxury goes away the moment you share with your homegirl(s). They are now watching EVERY interraction you have with your man whether you realize it or not and one of two things are occurring:
(1) plotting
(2) hating
Very good points.
“That luxury goes away the moment you share with your homegirl(s). They are now watching EVERY interraction you have with your man whether you realize it or not and one of two things are occurring:
(1) plotting
(2) hating
Yes and yes. Women can be some schemming trifling mo-fo’s. Esp. when you start telling your business.
@Dom,
yep. and for no other reason than misery loves company.
oh and I think House of Payne is doo doo butter.
@Jeandra,
“oh and I think House of Payne is doo doo butter.”
High Five (a la Putty from Seinfeld)
Hi there, lurker here.
Well I generally keep my man’s talents to myself, mainly because i’m private like that. But i’ve discovered that sometimes you don’t even have to talk to get the wheels turning in the mind of the more trifling. Sometimes seeing a woman happy with a man they weren’t really checking for before is all it takes…
@apres moi,
im not the official welcoming committee, but welcome! (and shyt!) i gots no glitter, but here’s some homemade confetti though!
ps. i love your screenname, thats the name of one of my favorite songs!
@shatani,
Girl, as another unofficial welcomer, I feel you. I say we raid BB Mo’s stash of “Diva Dust” (yeah, I can’t do the trademark) and sprinkle away. Otherwise we’re left with your homemade paper scraps and my gently used gift bows.
Apres Moi – welcome! (hits poor newcomer in the face with a giant gift bow)
@Lil’T, Dang…in the face tho! LMAO. You gone make the newcomer not wanna come back for fear of bows and paper scraps beatin her all in the face!
@Lil’T and shatani,
Imma need y’all to stop stealing Diva Dust ™. I mean, if you want some, all you gotta do is ask. I got more than enough to pass around.
We solved our supply chain issues… I just had to grip up my manufacturers and get them to act right.
@blackberry molasses,
Hmmphm – you got the distributor together NOW – but what about when I was scratchin’ and fienin’? Over here on the Bootleg Welcome Wagon with shredded paper, old gift bows and macaroni to throw….
@shatani,
LOL @ the homemade confetti…
@apres moi,
Welcome! Your screen name is officially added to the VSB Prayer Roster over in the Cubicle.
Here’s a little ****glitter****for you, and try to stay out of “The Corner”.

Ummm…I’m the type to break down every detail, good or bad, to my homegurls…if I have gained anything from thid type of exposure tho, I have found out who were my true friends and who weren’t. I’ve only had it bite back once, in high school, tho the info I shared about him was not too flattering. But my “friend” decided she wanted to go for it and she did. Caint say I didn’t warn her tho.
But in general, my friends and I have vastly different tastes, so I know even if dude tried to push up on one of my friends, they not gonna be receptive to it at all.
@trin-trin,
I am like you! Good, bad, farked up and fugly…. I tells it all. My core group…the ones who know er’thang…is only 3 people deep and that’s it.
We all have different type in men and none of us are, have been and never will be attracted to the other’s man…that’s how different our tastes are.
I’ve never had it come back to bite me in the butt b/c my core group lives in the south (read: TX and LA) while I’m in NC. But even when we did all live in the same area…we never had that problem.
Me and my girls talk candidly about it all…b/c you never know what you’ll learn. Yo man not participating…well have you tried what L did cuz that seems to work. M, he not that great, have you tried what B did cuz that girl is a coach extraordinaire…have your man knockin ya suga walls down in no time! You need some ideas…kinky, fun, role play or whatever…holla at R, that girl should work for Heff with the ideas she cooks up…just don’t get mad if you end up in the hospital with a broke leg and a dislocated shoulder….LMAO.
But to the outsiders…hayle naw! You will no nothing but the whackness of it all. If homeboy sucked major arse… thine ears will be over and abundantly blessed with all of the details.
@Ro,
exactly!!! we all have a wealth of knowledge because we have all shared our experiences. seriously, in some of these convos we (meaning “I” more often than not) have done reenactments for effect (with a chair, wall, table, or whatever furniture is close by and suitable)
and yeah, i dont tell everyone, just my closest friends…and if dude REALLY sucked, i would dissociate myself from him, like “oh i heard that he a quick draw” instead of saying i seent that shyt myself
@trin-trin,
exactly!!! we all have a wealth of knowledge because we have all shared our experiences. seriously, in some of these convos we (meaning “I” more often than not) have done reenactments for effect (with a chair, wall, table, or whatever furniture is close by and suitable)
so basically, you and your friends are all h*es?
lol…sorry. couldnt pass that one up. carry on
@The Champ,
y it gotta b all that? lol
all i said is we dont keep anything secret from each other
ok here’s one i hadn’t thought of…i had an ex who had an ex (read it again) and he’d told her she had bomb azz puzzy and she runs and tells another dude. WTF? she advertised her own stuff to another man…that definitely wrong.
@Jac, I wonder… can she be sued for false advertisement if it wasn’t as bomb as she claimed?
@Jac, she was just proud that she got a compliment…
i’m guessing she got herself a plaque made at Things Remembered too.
she just wanted to hit ole boy off. you dont tell folks stuff like that unless you intend on letting them confirm.
@Panama Jackson,
LMAO! Not a “Things Remembered” plaque!
I hate to admit it but you have spoken the truth in this post except I kind of like house of payne..LMAO sue me….but on another note my mom gave me sage advice..never trust a bitch that has seen your man’s dyck..she cant be your friend or his, and never discuss your relationship, especially anything of the se.x.ual nature, with your girls… especially if you also tell them all the thangs you wont do…. example..girl joe blow threw it down last night…and then was upset when I aint cook his a$$ breakfast this morning…girl please..that ninja betta get some cereal….
well guess whol will be making pancakes and eggs? ummm hmmm
@Shay-d-lady,
“I kind of like house of payne..”
I’m a little ashamed too…I like the show kinda for what it is..im not expecting a “northern exposure” (one of the best tv shows of all time) experience. It really is the McDonalds of sitcoms.
What does bother me is the fact that Mama Ella only got like two or three years on Daddy Curtis (in real life). But he still looks youthful like he playin even with the stuff they try to do to age him and she looks like his mama. Thats my only beef with TP, im not wanting him to be the black neil simon, but at least paint with a smaller brush. Why all 40 year old married/honorable black women with familly’s gotta look like a pankcake box.
@Princess Duvet,
“I’m a little ashamed too…”
As you should be.
@Dom, what is so wrong wit the show lol..sure it is a bit of a chitlin circuit …but i can’t be watchin charlie rose nem 24/7…do 2520s have these conversations regarding their working class counterpart sitcoms.
@Princess Duvet, its just bad. forget the chitlin circuitry. it’s really that bad. i’m the kind of cat who’ll give ANYTHING a chance. i was a fan of family matters for years, and that show was the epitome of corny. House of Payne though? it actually…sucks.
@Princess Duvet,
I have only been able to stomach one or two full episodes, and thats just because my Mom insits on watching it.
My main problem is that the mother of the kids is a crackhead, and they’re steady laughing like thats funny. No Ma’am.
@Dom, My main problem is that the mother of the kids is a crackhead, and they’re steady laughing like thats funny. No Ma’am.
we laugh at our crackheads until the steal something..then we beat them down….
@Princess Duvet,
Yes they do. My 2520 friends are allergic to certain type of shows and would look down on anybody liking it…
(Gossip Girl comes to mind). Admittedly, they are a bit elitist in their entertainment tastes…
i love me some GG!! takes me back to my hs, reminding me that my hs experience and “extracurricular” activities was NOTHING like theirs. ahhhh memories…
@Gem of the Ocean,
See, we can’t live in the same house with a single tv.
I abhor that show. It seems so vapid. But trust me, I can’t judge anybody. My shit is The Nanny! Lol! I stan for that crazy show and have seen every single episode.
i don’t think it’s vapid. i find it highly entertaining and becuz its soooo out of the realm in which i operate (tho i know plenty of ppl who lived these experiences), it keeps my attn. i think the character dynamics are well written.
@Gem of the Ocean, Gossip Girl is the shiznit..xoxo..LMAO
@Princess Duvet,
And the problem with House of Payne is not that they are working class (Bernie Mac was working class, so was Martin)… It’s just that it’s a badly written, badly acted and just all-around bad show.
I can’t watch more than 5 minutes at a time
@Ms. Sula & @ Dom
i think its just plagued by the “curse” (to me tho its not one) of TP..everything he touches people generally side-eye..but errything after madea is up hill..nice how that whole homeless turned playwright turned screenwriter turned media mogul with his own studio- thing can go. lol
To me its a mindless escape. The acting ain’t the best in the world. But Family Matters was no {insert best black sitcom or drama series ever}.
my thing is I wouldn’t take a wool coat, hat and gloves to Jamaica.
@Shay-d-lady, There was an athletic trainer who saw my thrid leg, can she be trusted?
@I take my check in all Peysos please!, LOL no..well unless the sight of it wasnt worth the price of admission..LMAO
@Shay-d-lady,
“I kind of like house of payne”
Don’t feel bad; everybody likes the show. We’re just the only ones that are bold enough to admit it. : )
@RedBeanzNRice,
Are you serious? You know people (besides you) who actually watch this show?
WoW.
@Ms. Sula, Lots of people watch it… otherwise it would not be on the air….
@Shay-d-lady,
“I hate to admit it but you have spoken the truth in this post except I kind of like house of payne..LMAO sue me”
consider yourself served. my lawyer will be sending you some legal papers to get the lawsuit underway. we’d appreciate a quick and prompt response.
and yes advertising definitely works.. shyt 2 minutes ago I was about to order a sham wow and one of those snuggle body mu muus…he.ll its cold and that joint looks all soft and warm and lets not also mention that i own a perfect pancake maker, a turbo cooker, george foreman grill, and some type of ginsu knives all ordered from late night infomercials…lowers head in shame…..
@Shay-d-lady,
how bout im still feenin’ for that closet hanger space saver thing. AND i can get an extra one free!!? awww, hell yeah!
@Shay-d-lady,
SHUT! UP! Girl…I was 2 seconds from that shamwow – couldn’t find a pen to write down the number, and then had to tell God “thank you” for keeping me from such madness. And the “space bags” that you suck the air out of with your vacuum? Don’t get me started.
But the Foreman Grillerator is the bomb-diggity, and worth every penny. That sucka has waffle plates, regular grills and a small baking dish.
@Lil’T, I need for you to get on that Sham wow with the quickness, they are the business! Lol, durn ‘made-for-tv’ ads got me ordering shyt and concocting homade science experiments, trying to soak liquids out of everything!
@JJ the Jet Plane, “I need for you to get on that Sham wow with the quickness, they are the business!”
I need to get me a sham wow. . . i don’t know what for but I think I need it. This from a guy who used to sell Cutco knives in college *wondering where my demo set is* OK BACK TO WORK!
@IVR, i sold Cutco too. I still have two of my knives. them joints really could cut thru anything.
i was a terrible salesman, but i did love those knives.
@Panama Jackson, “i sold Cutco too. I still have two of my knives. them joints really could cut thru anything. i was a terrible salesman, but i did love those knives.”
Yeah and the super sheers that cut through a penny . . .that always got oohs and ahhs I didn’t sell one d@mn set though (My leads always ended in the projects with some old lady listening to me to be nice) but i made my 18 dollars a presentation! I think my grandmoms may have jacked my knives!
Fortunately I’ve been lucky to have not been in the situation of a freiend hooking up with a guy I was seeing. Mostly because we have different tastes in men so that made it even easier since we aren’t attracted to the other.
As for the commercials ditto on the freecreditreport.com people that Red Beanz commented on.
And the chicken mcnuggets thing is catchy but I dunno how I feel about Keith Sweat dropping a ballad about them. Haven’t heard it? Check out the site:
http://www.designalkhemy.com/client/mcd_ksweat/dd-formmailer.php
@Miss Mahogany, WHY did you put me up on that?! OMG!!!!! a tear drops my eye…
@Miss Mahogany,
Bwahahhhhhahha @ that song in the link! The R&B of those commercials kills me. I mean really – a slow jam over some nuggets? lmao
@RedBeanzNRice, that’s the genius of them. it’s a commercial i wish i’d made.
you know you want some nuggets.
well I’ve seen how it can backfire big time. One of my girls used to tell us ( pals both male and female) bout her SO’s performance nevermind we all used to hangout together. When hey broke up she was crying cause old boy was jumping on some so called girls of hers just days after. It wasn’t really the time to tell her that it was actually the girls who were curious to find out if he was ALLL that!
@malaika, yep. i done seent it with mah own two eyes as well.
I also hate the House of Payne… who is exactly watching this show (besides my MAMA)?
I’ve never had advertisements bite me in my arse because I don’t role with those females. Women know a triflin chick before even befriending them; some of them choose to walk on in anyway.
We have an unspoken code (me and my close friends) where we’ll never date an ex ANYTHING.
I take it one step further and won’t even talk to a guy who I know has talked to/f’ed with an ASSOCIATE. I don’t want to even imagine his mouth on mine after what he’s done to her.
BTW: I know of some triflin men.. my girls’ exes or currents have tried to get at me before, but I’m a loyal chick.
@Nicki Sunshine, I also hate the House of Payne… who is exactly watching this show (besides my MAMA)?
My big sister watches…but I think she loves all things Tyler Perry. My other siblings and I are staging an intervention this weekend….
@N.I.A. isonebadmutha…., please report back on this intervention. if it works, i’d like to try it on some other people.
@N.I.A. isonebadmutha…., I would love to try it too..
I know this may be blashpheme, but I am not a fan of Madea (*puts arms up to block hurled tomatoes*)
@Nicki Sunshine,
Is it blasphemy really? Then, I am a walking blasphemy.
@Ms. Sula, LOL. Yes girl.. the black folks are gonna turn on us for these statements. LOL (I know some!)
@Nicki Sunshine,
@Ms. Sula, LOL. Yes girl.. the black folks are gonna turn on us for these statements. LOL (I know some!)
vsb.com: where safe havens for black people who arent fans of tyler perry happens
@The Champ, I feel safe now.
women are trife, thru and thru, and I knew better than to say anything about how the stuff was, but I got got with a sneek attack.
picture this,
a bar,
many martinis,
an ex floats by so i start drunkingly dishing it.
well my “homegirl” wasnt drinking (i didnt know that) and absorbed everything I said and ended up sleeping with the ex. TRIFE and covert. then I had the ex come back and tell me how wack it was, hmmm. “homegirl” lost 2 people after everything was said and done. and i relearned a valuable lesson, dont go out drinking with people who arent going to go round for round with you, they are wack and will use what you say against you.
traumatized? maybe…
@eysqueen,
awww, thats not fair to those of us who arent big drinkers and are also not triflin heffas! lmao…
poor baby! im sorry your former girl was so asstastic.
@eysqueen,
Well, you know my lush a$$ will go round for round, lol
@eysqueen, ::e-hug:: i’ll go round for round with you – or i’ll bring my own intoxicating substance and still be able to be your DD.
have i run my mouth? nah…i generally keep to myself. plus my mama taught me SOMETHING! you dont invite no woman (i dont care how close you are) to move into your home with you and your husband. and if he’s doing everything right, keep that ish to yaself. mama is wise!
theres also the opposite side…which is what a friend of mine is going through. where she runs her mouth about her man but its always negative and now she doesnt like when we refer to him by, um….colorful names. but im like, if you only tell people about the times he was a rampant douchebag, then we’re just going to think that most of the time he’s a rampant douchebag. and guess what…we dont like him. we never met him, and we dont like him. which saddens her.
but i suppose that none of your girls liking your man is better than all of your girls liking him too much? i dunno…
@shatani,
“you dont invite no woman (i dont care how close you are) to move into your home with you and your husband.
Preach! Cause that right there is the quickest way to lose ya husband. Besides that, there can only be one Queen Bee of the house.
@shatani, “plus my mama taught me SOMETHING! you dont invite no woman (i dont care how close you are) to move into your home with you and your husband. and if he’s doing everything right, keep that ish to yaself. mama is wise!
”
i heard this from my granny ALOT…and my mama too..so basically our mothers told us that women can’t be trusted.
maybe that’s why alot of women suck at being friends..because the first message we got about how those relationships go were from the women closest to us..our momma’s.
and perhaps the triflin’ assertion that Pfiddy makes is a self fulling prophecy in a way that..”hey im expected to be a trifflin @zz friend, I’ll just go on and be that”.
fathers don’t have these conversations about men friends with their boy children.
yaya sisters UNITE lol.
“maybe that’s why alot of women suck at being friends..because the first message we got about how those relationships go were from the women closest to us..our momma’s.”
You may be on to something there. I know trifling behavior is learned behavior. The next generation of Britney Spears’ are looking at the 2008 version and learning all the moves.
I guess it would be the same way when it comes to women trusting women as well. I personally believe that girls are socialized to be far more jealous than boys.
@Princess Duvet,
I agree with you. I was on here reading those comments and thinking: WHY are you calling those women your friends then? Or maybe it’s my definition that’s outdated?
I see my best friend as a sister. We’ve known each other since we were 8. Her boyfriends over the years are like brothers moreso than dudes my girl is dating. Her fiance is sort of a big brother that I talk to like a friend. Same for her. My lovers over the years have always gone to her for more insight into the “complex simplicity” that is my mind. We were all friends and still are in most cases.
I’ll tell her the truth with no sugar coating and she’s able to do the same with me. We fight (more often than not) and make up like sisters. I don’t know… I will not in any way, shape or form, be scared that she might be “interested” in my man even if I tell her in details how he sends me to the Island of a 1000 suns and back.
Now, they are degrees of friendships I understand. My question is, why would you even talk to someone about something so intimate if you don’t consider them your true friends?
I have associates and we talk about everything under the sun, but not the details of our sexual encounters!
The whole I-cant-trust-my-riends-with-this-info disturbs me a bit.
YAYA SISTERS UNITE!!
@Ms. Sula,
“Now, they are degrees of friendships I understand. My question is, why would you even talk to someone about something so intimate if you don’t consider them your true friends?
I have associates and we talk about everything under the sun, but not the details of our sexual encounters!”
exactly…i cant be friends with someone i cant trust with everything…and i would want them to feel the same way about me. associates, ie chicks youy may party or shop or work w/ but aint necessarily close to dont need to know all ur business. we just gotta be wise about who we open up to. plus, if a “friend” was trife, i feel like i would have had signs of that early on… i just watch ppl and take mental notes of certain behaviors that i dont like as indicators of how close we could be…so if i ignore it and break down to that “friend”, whatever happens i should have expected and caint really be mad at no one but myself. ppl gonna be who they are.
@Ms. Sula, “The whole I-cant-trust-my-riends-with-this-info disturbs me a bit. ”
me too…how you got a spare key to my house/car…and I can’t leave you alone in the room with my man for 25 minutes.
Im thinking thats not a friend. And its a pause to re-evaluate how you view said relationships. Like I wrote upthread this was message from my mama-grandmama them, one in which I’ve really start to reject.
i find the vary women who can’t trust other women only suspect others what THEY THEMSELVES would do (if no one was looking).
Lie lie lie lie lie… Men talk just as much as men… OMG that chick backed that fat ass up some kind way, OMG the chicks had the death grip on my dick… or whatever the hell us ya’ll say…
Here is the difference… women tend to talk and brag about men they care about… their man while men with never engage in a conversation about how their girlfriend put it down to their boys. They only brag on the breezies.
In HS… I told my BFF about this dude… and yup she went and got hers too. Chick didnt even tell me though… I had to hear it from ol’ boy because he was actually a good friend of mine not anyone that I was dating and we just happened to get it in one day. So yes chicks are trifling.
But then again in college I had a friend sleep with someone I was messing with and blamed it on her being drunk. Again, the dude was the one who told me. I guess I got a way about me that dudes feel like they can tell me anything because it both instances I didn’t have to catch anyone or hear rumors about anything, the dude just came out and said… yo I banged ya girl.
@Eb, lol…you know, its true, i would tell a chick i know if i had banged her homegirl. lol…back in the day anyway.
just so she knows in case it causes any issues. its a community service.
and you may be right, some dudes will talk about the random jumpoff chick…but i’ve been around more cats who just say, “yeah, i hit…” and leave it at that.
@Eb,
Lie lie lie lie lie… Men talk just as much as men… OMG that chick backed that fat ass up some kind way, OMG the chicks had the death grip on my dick… or whatever the hell us ya’ll say…
you know what though, even in our locker room in college (where the most graphic convos are supposed to occur) we never really talked about specifics…just rather you beat or not, and how quickly she let you beat. i honestly cant remember us going into depth about an*l cowgirl or anything like that
@The Champ,
I gots to call BS on this. It has been my experience that unless a man actually wants to wife a female…she better watch her back about what she does with him or all of their business will be in the street. I work with 200 men… they are worse than teenaged girls with some of their antics. Men trade pics of womens body parts, make movies of them getting down and trade the things around / put them on you tube… burn dvd’s of them and show them in the locker room… just disrespect their partners in general – unless he actually respects the woman (wants to wife her, knows her daddy (or another family member) or something like that. Now maybe you and PJ don’t personally get down like this… but there’s a reason females need to be on guard with what they do. Men spread business WORSE than females a lot of times.
oh wait… this is what Eb said. Ok… i second this Eb!!
I think for men this would work because women talk to much. A man tells his boys very select things like I hit, it was good, might go back. A woman tells the story better than Terry McMillan and gets all her home girls excited in the meantime. Plus I think dudes follow the code better, women want the best and if someone hyped you up to be the best then it’s open season.
@J. McFly,
some of us live by a code…but we always happen upon some triflin scallywag (i like that word!) and she takes advantage of our noble ideals…
it hasnt happened to me yet, but i dont doubt that it will eventually….i think the reason ive avoided it is because up until recent years all my closest friends have been male…and they most certainly do NOT wanna hear that mess!
@J. McFly, A woman tells the story better than Terry McMillan and gets all her home girls excited in the meantime.
And just like Terry McMillan, most of that ish is fiction.
@N.I.A. isonebadmutha….,
Terry likes boys that likes boys.
@J. McFly,
Now I’ve never gone behind any of my friends or associates to be with their exes. But, as a female, I can say that we talk to damn much. IF the guy was any good, we need to keep that ish to ourselves. That’s how drama gets started. Telling your girls the nitty gritty is just too much. I learned (the hard way), to keep stuff to myself because people who you consider friends will want to try and see what home boy is all about. And, J McFly, I’m with you on us wanting the best. So, if someone is pumping you up as the put it down king, we naturally will be curious. Enough said.
“To the women out there, have you ever run your trap about your exploits to your friends, only to have it comeback and bite you in the arse?”
Nah I’ve never had this happen. I only talk about my interludes to my two BFF”s–the acquaintances aren’t privy to such information. My BFF’s are the only chicks I trust on the planet, so believe you me, they’ve got all the info, and vice versa.
@miss t-lee,
My BFF’s are the only chicks I trust on the planet, so believe you me, they’ve got all the info, and vice versa.
everything?
@The Champ,
Yep…
(sorry this ish is late as hell, I think they’re trying block ya’ll at the J.
BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!)
That McDonald’s commercial is my SHYT!!!! It really inspired me to go get some nuggets 2 weeks ago with the hot mustard sauce and I was not disappointed at all. Have y’all heard the Keith Sweat McNuggets commercial?? Yep, he has one too.
I was disturbed by the fact that the chick in the commercial wouldn’t share her nuggets though. I mean, she had a freakin’ TEN-piece…she couldn’t part with 2 or 3??
Anyway, in regards to the post, I’ve had some ex’s friends flirt and make advances because of something her homegirl may have said, but I’ve never acted on it just because I generally don’t fool around with friends like that.
@Monk,
I’ve been quoting that Mickey D commercial for weeks – I think I quoted it in the post about women giving men money. I enjoyed some just yesterday. But ole girl won’t give him any nuggets as a matter of principle – by the time that bamma stood in the rain, stalked her AND made up a song he could’ve scrounged up a dollar and got a 4 piece. lol!
@Lil’T,
LMAO! i mean like literally…i think i mightve drooled a little bit!
i dont know why, but it just brings me such joy when you call dudes “bamma”
@Monk,
“Have y’all heard the Keith Sweat McNuggets commercial?? Yep, he has one too.”
Miss Mahogany posted the link upthread.
I had this one homeboy who would pick groups of chics he would like to run through. He’d do the first one till they begged for him to stop. The rest of the crew was just a matter of time.
Oh yeah advertising works. As a matter of fact I am currently the vic of some fear advertising. The local news said this morning that there are hackers that can run all up in Internet Explorer for passwords n stuff. I ain’t logging into nothing on IE.
@WuDaMan,
i aint fooled around with IE in ages!!! and my computer has never been happier…microsoft does that shyt on purpose. im convinced!
@WuDaMan,
Nope. IE’s been bad for a while now. Firefox is pretty good, though.
@WuDaMan,
IE is the wackest! I’m Firefox thru and thru. I’m thanking bout getting Google Chrome though. I’ve heard nothin but good thangs.
I blame Jim Jones… and his influence over the sidewalk councelor.
@WuDaMan,
Niiice.
“Women are trifling…to one another. Men may be trifling, but we do generally abide by the code.”
I don’t like this statement. Why “ARE women trifling” ? And Men on a slight off chance COULD or MAY be trifling? Sounds like di!ck’s logic to me LOL..
I will say that generally men make better friends to oneanother than women do to each other. Their code of brotherhood at times seem to be a lot stronger (with a few..run you under the bus exceptions), than women are to each other.
Sadly if there is a fracture in any female relationship there usually is a pen!is involved somewhere somehow.
I think i got off topic a little…anywhoo…No, women at times aren’t very discrete about their exploits in the way that men are.
I’m generally a private person and have never even gotten into the blow by blow (np=no pun) with my bestest of bestest.
Over lunch or dinner I have been known to drop a colorful hint if i got a wiff of the amazing, earthshaking or if I saw Jesus or something. Most women can tell if women are having good se@x anyway because of the glow and the pep in her step, but its not a Carrie Bradshaw-Samantha Jones lunch table ho!down low down.
In real life. Im annoyed if anybody i know gets into full illustration with charts and graphs…i dunno i just think there are always better things to talk about than some ninja who broke your back last night.
@Princess Duvet, I will say that generally men make better friends to oneanother than women do to each other. Their code of brotherhood at times seem to be a lot stronger (with a few..run you under the bus exceptions), than women are to each other.
I agree. I would add to that a lot of men make better friends to women, than women make to one another. This always saddens me a little….
@N.I.A. isonebadmutha….,
oh, i am so there with you! it doesnt sadden me too much…i prefer the company of men, generally anyway!
what i see play out a lot of times is that a woman will try to preserve her friend’s feelings to the point of straight up lies, while a man will hurt his friend’s feelings if its for a good cause in the long run. thats been my experience.
@shatani, what i see play out a lot of times is that a woman will try to preserve her friend’s feelings to the point of straight up lies, while a man will hurt his friend’s feelings if its for a good cause in the long run. thats been my experience.
co-sign 100%. I respect the fact that my male firends will tell me the truth no matter how much it may hurt me, b/c it is better for me to know the truth than believe a lie.
@Princess Duvet,
i approve this post! i dont generally have those kinds of conversations with people outside of work…
@shatani @ Alise..
i gotta wet the thread up a little **stand back**..
what alot of women are braggin about aint even really fantastic se!x. I’ve heard some straight boring @zz tales of so called tantric. Ok your leg in the air is some ole erryday shat. Now when you see Moses writing on scrolls ..I’ll holla at cha..but generally i dont give a da@mn.
@Princess Duvet,
you not really wetting the thread, I agree most tales can tend to be boring or an exaggeration, which is why I wonder why people want to go test the waters when 99% of what folks is telling you is some bull$hit, chicks kill me wanting to chance that 1% and be labelled trife for some ol’ raggelly knee-grow… boo they a$$!!!
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
“you not really wetting the thread, I agree most tales can tend to be boring or an exaggeration, which is why I wonder why people want to go test the waters when 99% of what folks is telling you is some bull$hit”
that’s true MOST of it is revisionist sexu@al history 101.
or just really telling of just how boring you really are.
“Ok your leg in the air is some ole erryday shat.”
I chortled.
@8th Wonder,
as did i!
@Princess Duvet,
“I’ll holla at cha..but generally i dont give a da@mn.”
This is how I will be ending wack phone convos/IM sessions from now on. Thank you, Princess.
NOT when you see moses writing on scrolls!!! *dead*
@Princess Duvet,
“Sadly if there is a fracture in any female relationship there usually is a pen!is involved somewhere somehow.”
Hallelujah holla back! I wrote an entire blog post on this early in 2007.
Women who claim they can’t have successful relationships w/other women really need to go sit down (in a corner, preferably) and do some introspection. That is a falsehood rooted in men’s need to control us and perpetuated primarily by lost and insecure women. Don’t ya’ll drink that kool-aid!!
@PBG,
Halleluijah for Brown Baby Jesus!!
I just don’t understand how you can’t have a successful relationship with ANY woman. Then the problem must be you. And it’s not mutually exclusive in any ways to have guy friends AND girl friends.
Keep preaching that glittery gospel PBG!
@Ms. Sula, “I just don’t understand how you can’t have a successful relationship with ANY woman.Then the problem must be you. ”
i agree with this wholeheartedly..but it goes back to what our mama’s told us..and all the things we really must unlearn (in relation to this)..i don’t really believe that errythang that comes out of my mama’s mouth is the gospel. Maybe 90%..the rest is for me to figure out, refute, unknow or know for sure.
@Ms. Sula,
I just don’t understand how you can’t have a successful relationship with ANY woman. Then the problem must be you. And it’s not mutually exclusive in any ways to have guy friends AND girl friends.
a woman having no female friends is actually one of the signs that you might be an evil b*itch

@PBG,
HALLELUJAH, AMEN, BOOMSHAKALAKALAKA!!
I really couldn’t fathom not having my sisters… they hold me down when there are no men around. They give my man the serious side eye when he’s effing up… we plan trips 2gether (when money permits lol) and our kids play 2gether… we shop 2gether and help each other when it’s needed. 4 real. for the ladies who don’t have any REAL girlfriends… it must be lonely…
for the ladies who don’t have any REAL girlfriends… it must be lonely…
true indeed!!!! i’ve known this since i was a young girl. growing up an only child (tho i’m the youngest of 5) really made me appreciate my girl-friends, even the trifling ones who proved to be “bad” friends. i am thankful for ALL of them.
i even wrote a research paper on the impact and influence of female friendships in hs. it was a damn good paper and my teacher was impressed at my insight. i miss hs–so easy breezy and beautiful.
@Gem of the Ocean,

Awww Gem. You’re so smart. Really… can’t co-sign on the missing hs part… but ne who… heard the lounge was bumping on Friday
“so smart”?? girl please! i just liked to reflect and sh*t. i’m telling you, i was “Daria” in my teenage yrs so i was quick to go above and beyond basic expectations of the average student, becuz i refused to classify myself as average. and i only “miss” hs becuz grad school requires actually thinking and hypothesizing. wtf?!?!
and yes girl, you missed a fun party!!! Champie didn’t even have on a VSB shirt!!! that’s worth seeing with your own 2 eyes, i assure you. but you were missed. *air hug* hope you and your other had a good weekend tho….
@Gem of the Ocean,
hope you and your other had a good weekend tho….
lol… he aight… gurl we had an experience… that’s the best way i can put it… I’m proud of the Champ 4 retiring that VSB shirt! (it’s about time hee hee hee) sike. I’ve only seen it once…
and i only “miss” hs becuz grad school requires actually thinking and hypothesizing. wtf?!?!
I hear you on this… really. i understand completely… the brain actually having to work is something else, right ?
the brain actually having to work is something else, right ?
depending on the context of “brain” you’re talm bout, yes, yes it is… lol
@pgh muse,
“HALLELUJAH, AMEN, BOOMSHAKALAKALAKA!!”
You are THISCLOSE to being sent to the corner for this.
@Luvvie,
LMAO…
@pgh muse,
See I dont think the point was to get down on all friendships. Its just about knowing who you can trust in what situations. And sometimes even the best of friends can fall prey to jealousy. Weather they act on it or not is another question.
@Dom,
That’s true and absolutely right. People are people and jealousy is a human emotion… but u know what? In my experience, when you have real friends, they celebrate each others accomplishments. And do their best to help each other move forward professionally and personally. I don’t have any friends that are so jealous of me that they would attack me in any way. sheit… if we do feel jealous we say it and make a joke about it… like how can i be down or something like that. I don’t have ne friends who live in those dark places that would allow them to try and hurt me. And when they have experiences that take them there (cuz we all do) as their friend i do what i can to try and get them out…
@pgh muse, i agree with this..ultimately you get the friend that you are.
@pgh muse,
I can agree. Im just a little bitter. My “best friend” has been displaying some shady shady tactics of late, and I’m slowly learning that I have to let her go.
Although she didnt do it to me, she’s now (casually?) dating a guy that another close friend of ours was interested in.
I personally would NEVER even think about approaching a guy any of my close friends were even remotely talking to. Just not my style.
We’ve all been friends for like 15 years. I know you’re right, I just have a bit of a warped view right now. Whoever said that fractured female friendships usually have a pen!s involved spoke nothing but the truth.
@Dom,
My “best friend” has been displaying some shady shady tactics of late, and I’m slowly learning that I have to let her go
If this was to happen to me i would call her a$$ and be like What’s up. Where u been? What’s up with xyz? Have u checked her? Cause we all need checked sometime… has anybody addressed the situation b4 u throw her away?
@Dom, “We’ve all been friends for like 15 years. I know you’re right, I just have a bit of a warped view right now. ”
i would pray, re-classify the friendship, or purge. that sounds harsh, but every friend is not to be your life long bestest of all bestiness…i view some as like indicators of where you are.
@pgh,
Nah, I havent called her out about it. I dont really feel its necessary.
We had a conversation earlier this summer about her shady a** activities when it comes to us as friends and guys. Its gotten to the point that I dont even tell her Im dating anyone cuz she hates out the gate.
This isnt the first time she’s done some trifling stuff. I hate to let it go cuz we’ve been friends from childhood, but I get the feeling its time.
Surprisingly, I have a few friends from college who are way more dependable when it comes to guys and full disclosure. I’m not sure it that points to their character as people or if its because we dont have similar taste in men.
@Dom,
I agree with Princess Duvet after reading ur reply. Some friends don’t need to be hung onto. If she’s shady like that her a$$ definitely has some demons that need to be worked on… but only she can do that.
@Princess Duvet,
I don’t like this statement. Why “ARE women trifling” ? And Men on a slight off chance COULD or MAY be trifling? Sounds like di!ck’s logic to me LOL..
you dont have to like it…but you will accept it. LOL.
@Panama Jackson,
sat down pfiddy…
I never talk about my sexual exploits to any of my girls, so it had never come back to bite me. I am more likely to talk about some good D with one of my homeboys than one of my girls. And it is usually reciprocated by him talking about whatever girl he is with at the moment. And that only works if we are either both single or both in relationships.
@N.I.A. isonebadmutha….,
interestingly enough, I have had friends and frat brothers come at me with that lustful look in their eye b/c of something their boy told them, or maybe just alluded to. I would never cross the friendship/frat bro line. But it is proof that men can be just as trife as women.
I like how you say men don’t brag about their skills then you proceed to brag about your skills.
Interesting.
Anyways, I don’t really abide by the “men don’t brag, let a woman do it for you” rule. I mean I don’t start conversations off with anecdotes of getting chicks off. But if the conversation goes there or if I’m asked, best believe your going to get an earful. Sure, every chick that all of us have broken off have gone and told a friend. A few fortunate times said friend wanted to find out for themselves. But why let the fun stop there? If a chick (no matter the context) hears you bragging about your skills, she will automatically assume that you are lying. Your skills look even better when that dillusion of hers is shattered either by personal experience or from other sources.
So to all that I say, it ain’t braggin’ if its true!
@Jarrod Halsey, i wasnt actually referencing myself in any of that post…lol
@Panama Jackson,
lol. i see you homie!
If a chick (no matter the context) hears you bragging about your skills, she will automatically assume that you are lying. Your skills look even better when that dillusion of hers is shattered either by personal experience or from other sources.
i believe this to be true. i know PLENTY of women who have heard a dude talk about his “tongue game” or how versatile he is in the sack and no sooner than she doubts/questions his abilities, she’s pickin her panties back up off the floor and tryin to walk in a straight line but to no avail.
so yeah, men “bragging” with their own mouths (pun intended) does the same trick (again, pun intended).
@Gem of the Ocean,
Yeah. Sorry to let the cat out of the bag, but I’ve definitely taken advantage of this a time or two…
Sorry to let the cat out of the bag
i’m sure she (whoever she may be) wasn’t sorry you let the “cat” out the “bag”. hopefully you’re good with the kitties.
@Gem of the Ocean,
Guilty as charged!
heyyyyyyyyyyyy boo!! lmao
@Gem of the Ocean,
Right back at ya!
@Gem of the Ocean,
LOL.
Has anyone other than me ever dealt with the dude that does the opposite of bragging? On some ole, “yeah my ish is mad small and I can only last 2 minutes…trust me, its all bad”??
That’s more intriguing than it should be, damn reverse psychology.
@8th Wonder,
Yeah we call that the “Simpathy Player.” You know the type. Woe is me, can’t catch a break. The ultimate nice guy. Can’t knock the hustle, but who really wants to be that guy?
maybe it IS just you… lol
*stern look*
Obviously, you didn’t meet my more people below. They’re late, but still…they’re here.
ya big punk!
lol you know i luuuuuuuh you girl!!
*grumbles*
love you too.
uh uh, not with THAT attitude!!! stank!!
@8th Wonder,
Nope I dealt with that cat. I actually liked him already because I am a sucker for deprecating humor (read British humor)…. He sucked me in with that stuff… and left me with just-run-an-ironman weak knees and hotter-than-july- in-arizona memories.
Sometimes, reverse psychology does work.
@8th Wonder,
“that guy” gets mad sympathy lays… that come back for more, even after they find out his “whackness claims” were on some ole “okey doke” type mess.
This is my cousin’s hustle and he is neck deep in poon (we talk to each other like that). It also helps that he has inhereited the family flyness gene. Fine man on the humility tip… o he gets MAD PLAY.
D@mn.. hope he doesn’t find VSB cause he will kill me for blowin’ up his spot.
@blackberry molasses,
“neck deep in poon”
this is actually the title of obama’s new book, detailing the changes in his life since he’s been elected.
LOL
I lve my girls. Dont get me wrong but…those hefers dont know snot about my love life. The only evidence they get is my late-ness and the occational cover up of a sweat-out haristyle.
My only neutral ground is my best friend and his ass is gay.
(A gay man props is better anyway) Even then its minimum info.
As for MickyD’s I have no prob getting down with a 10-piece…but the commercial is still retarded.
@Uninspired Muse,
As for MickyD’s I have no prob getting down with a 10-piece…but the commercial is still retarded.
you take that back you! its beautiful…
@Panama Jackson,
Yes beautiful like a small child with buck teeth and crossed eyes……
Hey P.Jack…I dont DO returns, sir.
Word.
i’ve talked about good d with a guy friend, only to turn around and have him say (3 years later) that he couldn’t really date me because he didn’t know if he could turn me out like ole dude… oops. i guess i should have run the full ad with disclaimer:
“disclaimer!***i’m only talking to you about the sx because there’s nothing else good to say about him – he’s broke, boring, and well endowed… and i wanted to be entertained…but i never want to talk to him again***
…wow – spinning is fun! ”
idk
oh- and i’ve had other women come up to me and tell me how good my SO is in bed, how cute he is, etc. i didn’t get it cuz my dude WOULD NEVER be into them…
@ladyb,
“oh- and i’ve had other women come up to me and tell me how good my SO is in bed, how cute he is, etc.”
Did you roundhouse kick them in the jawline for coming at you with this?
@ladyb,
i had a lady friend like that. It was one of them situations where we was homies but given the opportunity I would hit it in a heart beat. She would go on and on about how her latest boy toy would bang her back out and the size of his wang. All that talk had me thinking she was on porn star status and that I couldn’t handle her. Anyway I finally got in them draws. Afterwards this chick wanted me to wife her up. The messed up part is I didn’t even put it down like I know I can.
one more – the best is when you’ve heard all about the guy from everyone BUT him – and all his pasts are extremely satisfied – so much so, that he earns a nick name like, “Mr. Pu$$y”…
ahh…
Mr. Pu$$y
The name “Mr. Pu$$y” is scary @ me.
@8th Wonder, me too, 8th
this reminds me of Weezy’s song “Pu$$y Monster”… that whole song is scary @ me. i’m not sure whether i want to confirm his assertion or hide from the idea altogether.
I’ll take hide for a thousand, Gemmie!
@8th Wonder,
When I read this I imagined one of those V@gina Puppets with a mustache… I’ve been working in public health far too long
I think I just died at that visual.
IMO, the root of the post is that women are just better communicators. Sometimes it’s a good thing, and sometimes it comes back to bite us in the arses.
But yes, in my experience we ladies get into the nitty gritty of what y’all do in the sack more than the fellas. We are the uncrowned queens of locker room talk. Specially if you’re a jumpoff and you’ve done something that’s gossip worthy. Like the guy I ran into when I was about 23 who’s thang was so big I actually went and told my mamma about it – I mean really – it defied logic. My mamma’s quote: “What’s his number?” cuz she’s crazy like dat (apple don’t fall far…)
But now that I’m a little older the man gossip seems to have taken a turn for the worst. Gone are the days of reliving a good night of s.ex – most of us are in (or were in) relationships, and you just don’t blab about your man’s goods like you would a random dude.
Now it’s all about what this bamma didn’t do, what he said that pissed you off, how you fell into the toilet late at night and want to kill him, etc. The advertising is totally negative. I had one friend who did this constantly – talk mucho sh*t about ole boy and then get snippy when we didn’t want to hang out with him. I mean, you were the one who spent HOURS telling us (in detail) about how and why he ain’t sh*t – don’t get mad because we listened.
But no – positve advertising has never come back to haunt me.
lmao @ “Like the guy I ran into when I was about 23 who’s thang was so big I actually went and told my mamma about it – I mean really – it defied logic. My mamma’s quote: “What’s his number?” cuz she’s crazy like dat (apple don’t fall far…)”
that’s effing hilarious!!!! my mama crazy too. she woulda tried to act all prude at first, then ask me for more details lol.
@Lil’T,
“What’s his number?” cuz she’s crazy like dat (apple don’t fall far…)
lol… this is funny.
i have one big hang up with the “don’t be stingaaaaaay” McDonald’s commercial. and it really bothers and puzzles me…
why does the dude have a wedding ring on but girly doesn’t??assuming they’re married, did she take her ring off to go sneak out for some nuggets?? is she THAT much of a scallywag she can’t be seen as married by the Mickey D’s workers, who could potentially out her or at the very least question her for only getting enough food for her self and not her hubby?? in that case, who needs that kind of pressure?? so off with the ring!!
on the other hand, perhaps he’s NOT married to her and she’s the chick on the side. and perhaps her steppin out on him to get herself some nuggets makes her betrayal all the worst. can’t even trust the mistress!! how dare she creep with a 10pc while he’s creeping with her–the nerve!!
either way you slice it, the commercial chick is a trollop. a nugget nympho. a 10pc tramp. a fast food floozy. a super sized strumpet. i could go on and on….
so i’m conflicted when watching the commercial. i can’t OK the message they’re sending.
@Gem of the Ocean,
Clearly you’re trying to get me fired – you got me over here wheezing like Deputy Dawg! Nugget nympho? CTFU!!!!
not wheezing like deputy dawg!! lmao unacceptable!!
@Gem of the Ocean,
I don’t know which is more disturbing.
1. The fact that you noticed that.
2. Or if the ad agency really was trying to convey that. (Which I can’t put it past them)
I’m leaning towards 2.
Really, because #1 is what’s hurting me the most.
hey, if i’m going to fall prey to advertising, i want to know exactly WHAT it is i’m being sold. so i pay close attn to ish like that. plus, i got hawk eyesight and notice ish that most ppl don’t. YALL brainwashed negros can get got if you want to, but the Gemster likes to be informed. mmkay??
@Gem of the Ocean,
I’ve missed you Gem. {{{big hugggs}}}
I’ve had my share of babygurls run trap to their gurls about ya boy, unknowingly to me… Gotten me alot of Friendly fire cooch in tha past.
“Friendly fire” Def: Friend accidently or purposely tells another of sexual exploits not knowing that the one recieving the info will be the next victim to get the good wood from pimp’n.
@Gem of the Ocean,
That commerical bothers me too. I think it’s corny. Maybe it needs to grow on me or something. IDK
2 things:
(a) thanks for the shout out, i love being missed (in a non-stalkerish way), so backatcha!
(b) not entirely sure why you mentioned me and your friendly fire cooch files in the same comment. i’m not tryna get brush burns effing witchu, pimp’n!!
@Gem of the Ocean, LoL @ the mickey d’s broad being a scallywag! I will now look for the wedding ring when my commercial comes on next. Thank you.
hey, i just call ‘em like i see ‘em. check it out for yourself– http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpCqa0Rx0Yk
and if you think about it, ain’t NO black chick in her right mind going to go out in the RAIN with a fresh PERM (curled and errrythang) and her flyest pair of STILLETOS to get no damn nuggets. only to bring them back to the crib where her man is and eat them in front of him, like he can’t over power her and jack 1 or 2 at the very least?? GTFOH. only triflin broads would go to such lengths.
@Gem of the Ocean, some of us are too smart for our own good.
and some of us not smart enough lol
@Gem of the Ocean,
this comment might be one of the top 7 best things youve ever done. seriously. good job
and what are the other 6??
@Gem of the Ocean,
Gemmie, I love you but if you don’t stop making me laugh so hard my mascara runs, we finsta have WORDS.
The alliteration… the scoping of details… the logical dissection of hidden meanings in the commercial… you are TOO MUCH!
LMBAO!
And that commercial… this was my first time viewing it. As I said upthread, two words…. JUST.DUMB.
me, too much?? naaaah. i was just giving my observations. tho potentially too extra and nit-picky.
but i wouldn’t mind the commercial as much if it just took a few minor details into acct. put a ring on it and throw a raincoat with a hood and some stylish (coach?) rain boots on the chick. then you’d have a quality corny-a*s R&B-remixed fast food commercial. no reason for it to be corny AND unrealistic. none whatsoever.
@Gem of the Ocean,
Go directly to the Sat Down Corner. Do not pass go, and if you touch that $200, thats ur *$$!! AND I’m revoking your “Park Place” for this. Overanalytical self.
dammit. *grabbing SB pumpkin spice latte, not passing go, not collecting $200, just satting the hell down in the corner*
@Gem of the Ocean,
dang Gem! you’re like a permanent resident of the SDC…
lmao right?? at least i’m residing rent/mortgage free. soon ima have to hire an interior decorator and put a Gem-tastic spin on things. *browsing thru carpet palettes*
@Gem of the Ocean,
The SDC Condo Board must approve of any/all changes you make to it. We cant be having you bedazzling and glittering up the Sat Down Corner all willy nilly. It best not look like no House of Dereon!
how DARE you imply i would bedazzle any thing!!! i wouldn’t even bedazzle my friend’s puppy’s dog-sweater or collar. and then add House of Dereon in the same comment??
i’m insulted. if i wasn’t perpetually sent to the SDC i would leave!! rude!! hmph
Now why in da world would I go and do something as insane as that…yeah right get outta here.
I dont even ask girlfriends for advice about relationships because people can sway your decision about your mate or want to see can they get the goodies and it is not happening-understand lol and some females dont even know what they want so how can they offer any great advice lol
I believe in keeping your relationship private because it should just be between him and I.
We know who we are to each other and why we are together and why put it on display for others to grab if we are always yapping off at the mouth bout our life. All people need to know is that we are doing beautiful or see us glowing or whateva lol
@Luckyred,
I dont even ask girlfriends for advice about relationships because people can sway your decision about your mate or want to see can they get the goodies and it is not happening-understand lol and some females dont even know what they want so how can they offer any great advice lol
right. plus, you always have vsb and sh*t
Obviously this doesnt work for women but works for men. But only to a certain point. There is definitely a point of diminishing marginal returns. As a dude, you want a bit of name recognition. You want a girl to be able to say that “o yeah, I heard from Jakwana, who heard Shaquila, that this dude be puttin it down”. However, you dont want a jawn to be like “O, I heard his third leg curves a bit to the left, and he makes a semi grit right before he….”.
Another issue is be weary of your roommates. You may not be advertising it, but your girl in the next room is gonna be like “Luvvie and Peyso was in the other room and you shoulda heard the way she was screamin, them ninjas were knockin the books off my shelves” lol.
Dudes dont really give too many details unless its some really really freaky nasty stuff. Like “the JO did what with her what and she gargled” and then they will reply “put me on”. SOs are off limits.
Here is a song thats very pertinent to this topic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRwJvQ5NViI
Btw, moderation doesnt like me
@I take my check in all Peysos please!,
“Btw, moderation doesnt like me”
It’s mad at you for posting that damn Cam’ron song, lol. Really? Bottom of the p*ssy hole? He’s so classy.
@I take my check in all Peysos please!,
was this post your (not so) slick way of propositioning the Luvster?
LMMFAO!
@blackberry molasses,
I guess I’ve been caught red handed
@I take my check in all Peysos please!,
**in her best A Pimp Named Slickback-ish voice**
mmmmmhmmm, you ain’t SLICK patnah….
you know, kamakula MIGHT have something to say about this….
I guess I’ve been caught red handed
That’s what the lotion is for bruh. . .
Work up your skills in the minor leagues with Palmela and Hangela. Luvvie’s already well taken care of.
@I take my check in all Peysos please!,
You ain’t slick! lol Besides… I dont scream
@Luvvie,
never say never mamita… i used to claim i wasn’t a screamer, because no one was able to make me.
then i got with the mister… my vocal chords ain’t been the same since.
@blackberry molasses, *gold stars*
@I take my check in all Peysos please!,
Dudes dont really give too many details unless its some really really freaky nasty stuff. Like “the JO did what with her what and she gargled” and then they will reply “put me on”.
this statement is 1000% factual.
Ran my mouth once and it did bite me in the ass, so never again with the details! That’s why we have journals and anonymous blogs…
@tatica,
Ran my mouth once and it did bite me in the ass
you must have a giant mouth then, to be able to bite your own ass. flexible too
Sat the hell down.
I think this a phenomenon occurring w/young women. Very young women. I think I can speak for every VSS in my age bracket here when I say, we know better than to do some half-witted mess like that. I didn’t make it to the porch w/the cats w/out learning some hard lessons dealing w/my sistern out on the boulevard.
Tell who what?? Nah, shawty…it ain’t happenin’. I don’t volunteer details and any chick pressing me for any will be summarily dismissed from my lifespace.
@PBG,
I think this a phenomenon occurring w/young women. Very young women. I think I can speak for every VSS in my age bracket here when I say, we know better than to do some half-witted mess like that.
I have to agree…
do VSSs in your age bracket know better than to do some half-witted mess like that becuz you’ve experienced it at a young age and learned your lesson(s)????
@Gem of the Ocean,
Either that or we’ve seen it back-fire on our friends. Or we just listened to our Mamas and Big Mamas.
But indeed, experience is a good teacher. Still, there are some grown-azz fools out here too. *smh*
i hear you.
@PBG,
Again, I have to agree with that gospel of all truths.
@PBG,
Mmm-hmmm. When I was young(er) sharing was caring. Your girl might hip you to some new sh*t. Now, not so much.
yes, i have run my trap to my girlfriends, but it hasn’t bit me in the arse. this is because i am particular about who i run my trap to. we all have those friends who we know good and well cannot keep a secret… those are the girls i steer clear off when i need to talk to someone about my relationship issues.
does advertising work? it’s hard to answer. people are going to eat chicken nuggets regardless… because they are slammin. i would like to say however, i think it’s lazy on the behalf of these advertisers to color the bottles of pantene relaxed and natural products brown, along with the vaseline lotion with cocoa butter (although you can find all of these in my bathroom right now). there are better ways to attract a crowd of color then coloring the damn bottle, but i digress…
the house of payne does suck. its suckiness makes me mad because it took the 7 o’clock spot that used to belong to the King of Queens. that show is the ish. house of payne is overacted and has horrible story lines. that’s why tbs dropped that ish.
@laylah,
Isn’t King of Queens underrated though?! That show needs a better PR person. It’s good!
@Ms. Sula, i lurve that show. only saw it a few times when it was actually on (i think another show i liked was on at the same time) but I die at the reruns. i want the whole collection in the little truck.
Back in my younger days I used to give details…until I realized how triflin some chicks are! Lawd!!! Now I just keep my mouth shut and let everybody wonder why I’m skippin and singin and sh!t…and why I’m glowing…and why my roller wrap is a lil messed up the day after I get it done…and wonder what exercises I’m doing to make my booty get a lil bigger…LOL!!!
Mum is the word when it comes to my man’s performance in the bed.
Does advertising work??? Hells yeah it does!!! A few years ago, I was inquiring about this jawn I’d been feelin…not necessarily for a relationship, but I liked his body and I wanted to see what it looked like w/o clothes (plus he could dance real good)…one of my girls was like, “I heard he was packin…”
He was done for 2 days later….ho-sh!t….but fun nonetheless.
@This Just In,
so far, from my count, you’re the only one today who’s admitted to actually get hooked by an ad.
interesting.
I ran my mouth once. It was like two years after the relationship was over. I ran it to someone I know he wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole. How did I know?? Cus I know what he likes and how he likes it.
You only have yourself to blame for the wasted 22minutes of House of Payne. You can tell my the commercials (advertisement) that you aren’t their target audience.
@Hostess,
You may have something different going on with your dude, but my experience has taught me that you can never truly know what a man will get at. It happened to my cousin – her “best” (read: worst) girlfriend, who she just knew for sure her man would never touch (even with the ole 10ft pole) – ended up sleeping with her “ex” (read: on again, off again) man. She was dumbfounded on top of being hurt.
@Lil’T, I ain’t wanna come out and say it but the chick was too dark and too big. Even the chicks he screwed on the low-low look a certain way. That’s the only reason I don’t believe he’d touch her. Would she touch him if given the opportunity? Yeah. Are there chicks in the crew who he would touch? Yep. They are small enough and light enough.
When a woman goes after (or accepts advances) their girl’s man (or ex) it’s not because she wants the man. It’s because she’s jealous of her girl and probably always has been. Her getting with the dude s a dig at her girl. It’s like saying, “That b*tch ain’t all that if I can screw her guy…He didn’t like her that much anyway.”
@Hostess, “Her getting with the dude s a dig at her girl. It’s like saying, “That b*tch ain’t all that if I can screw her guy…He didn’t like her that much anyway.”
Co-sign.
@Hostess,
“It’s because she’s jealous of her girl and probably always has been.”
I think that this is very true – jealousy plays a big part in this. But there is also a little flip side. I’ll always side with my fam if an issue pops up, but I will tell you how that line of thinking led to a very unhappy family member of mine:
My cuz felt the EXACT same way you did. Her best friend had flat booty, was too dark, hair too short, not cute in the face – my cuz just knew that she had it all over this girl. No way would her (semi)man ever touch her. She was more worried about the half asian model that he was seeing previously (at the same time) as her. Funnily enough if you based old dude’s taste on his ex, my fam would never have made the cut.
Imagine her surprise when he did the do with her girl. What happened to her was super trife, but she basically set the mess up. My fam was looking down on this girl (too dark, flat booty) and the girl knew it. She didn’t mind having Ms.NGE (not good enough) around because in her mind she wasn’t a threat. So her friend (not) decided to let her know some thangs….
I’ve already made a long story longer, but here’s what I picked up:
Dyck’s don’t have eye sockets. You can never tell what a man (or a woman you’ve underestimated) will do.
@Lil’T, Dyck’s don’t have eye sockets. You can never tell what a man (or a woman you’ve underestimated) will do.
Dayum.
@pgh muse,
If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes…
Consider this my crackhead version of public service announcement. lol!
@Lil’T, crackhead version of public service announcement.
LMAO. I hear that…
@Hostess- Girl, don’t ever assume what your man won’t touch with a 10 ft. pole! Especially after yall broke up!
I’m not sure if I care if my girlfriend runs her mouth about how we gets down, simply because thats one code I do NOT violate. As fine and tasty as her girlfriends (& cousins) look, thats just bad business to even entertain that.
….now, any other woman in the free world is fair game. Ha!
@Hostess,
You can tell my the commercials (advertisement) that you aren’t their target audience.
um..i’m Black. i’m pretty sure that’s their intended audience.
oh wait, you’re right, my bad. i ALSO read. you’re right. i should have known they didnt want me…
Zing!
@Panama Jackson, They wanted the BET audience. They like simple comedy.
Free advertising is free advertising…
It’s the dissemination of information that does wonders for a brotha’s rep. It worked in college. It worked in the military…not so much in the civilian world because often times it’s overdone.
Quoth the great Eazy E: “…Now I”m F*n all your friends, cause you ran your mouth, like I new you would…”
Shut up when the getting is good ladies. You create contenders.
@CPT Callamity, Dittos on that!
ALL advertising is good!
@DirtyJerz,
Nah, not all.
Back in college I heard a few things about a guy I was feeling from a reliable source. They were all good things, but seeing the advertisER turned me off in more ways than one. On some, “if he gave it to her, he lost ten points.”
@Dom,
“On some, “if he gave it to her, he lost ten points.””
Oh yes, cuz then you are like “I know she isn’t on my level. I can’t fux with him…”
@laylah,
Xactly.
@Dom and Layla….If yall had any idea what hideous monstrosity your current piece had before (and after) he got to your level…Ha!
When a woman tells us “I was gonna give you some, BUT…”, We will ALWAYS know that there is a chance. Often, it’s a fighting chance, but a chance nonetheless, and thats all we need!
…and it counts as 1/4 of a notch on the belt! LOL
@DirtyJerz,
LOL! Im soooooo Mad at the breakdown! I guess a 1/4 a notch is better than none huh? Lol!
why does your font look different today?
@Liz, i have no clue.
@Liz,
You leave these boys alone for a SEC and they unravel your template. You KNOW they need your supervision.
Ol’ Uni-tasking selves
@Liz,
i fixed and sh*t. damn. get off our backs, lizzzard!!!!
@The Champ, mmmhmm someone also broke this entry….but im not sayin no names!
I had one physical companion who was/is the best experience of MY LIFE!! That kind of chemisty is darn near impossible to find. We discussed it and knew it was mutally the best s3x ever! I knew he told his best friend he knew I told mine. Both of our friends knew the other was off limits. But I cant say they didnt constantly hear the stories. Our hook ups were the stuff legends that comprises legends and who doesnt want to hear the tales of a legend.
This was supposed to say : Our hook ups were the stuff that legends are made of and who doesnt want to hear the tales of a legend.
-sorry i had a flashback moment.
@Suga&Spice,
Some sh!t you just can’t keep to yourself…I feel you on that!!!
@Suga&Spice,
Damn Suga. Stuff of legends? Like some epics stuff?? Some Greek Mythology chex? Some Odysseus wait for 10 yrs and its still there chex?
Why ain’t yall continue?
@Luvvie,
They was doing Illiad Beyowulf Zelda ho-sh*t
@Relax, Relate, Alise,
Some “Double Double Toil and Trouble” ho sh*t
Some “Much Ado About F*cking” ho sh*t
kudos to the Much Ado About Nothing ref. that’s my joint!! i feel compelled to not only go home and watch the Kenneth Branagh movie version, but i’m hoping to one day (read: very near future) have my own “Much Ado About F*cking* ho sh*t tales….
@Gem of the Ocean,
Girl, I haven’t forgotten that there’s new dangalang on your horizon. mm-hmmm! No need for details, just put a little extra glitter in your posts…
@Lil’T,
Co-sign madam! Yay Gem! The day after we’re expecting ur post to be glowing and sagealicious and to have glitter and sparkles to be shooting out of it.
“but i’m hoping to one day (read: very near future) have my own “Much Ado About F*cking* ho sh*t tales….”
GET HIM GIRL!
@ Lil’T, pgh muse & BBmo,
yall are some HAMs!!!! LMAO oh my lordy i just shed a tear. i love you guys so much for remembering the “new guy” (can we NEVER say “new dangalang on the horizon”?? i mean just never! lol).
and since i don’t typically sprinkle diva dust ™ or glitter (and when i do it’s stolen from those who possess it), i will be sure to bring to VSB my very own stash and be very liberal in applying to my post in addition to many references to my “pleasure center” (im still reading my book yall), if the experience is worth mentioning.
wish me luck. lmao
@Gem of the Ocean,
you don’t need no luck girl. just the tools of the trade and the Sista’s Freeknasty Gift Tote. Imma overnight that one to you.
It includes delights such as assorted condoms, flavored lubes, chocolate body paint, verlcro cuffs… and a stool to put in the corner so that if he doesn’t bring it, you can tell him to GO SAT DOWN.
lmao @ the stool in case he needs to go sat down. hilarity!!!
and i’ll be waiting on that Sista’s Freeknasty Gift Tote.can never have too many accessories or freeknastiness. ‘preciate ya sis!!! *air hug*
@Luvvie,
Epic stuff. . that sound familiar doesn’t it Luvvie. Like the centaur stuff between us – body of a man above the waist. . . and a horse below
@Suga&Spice, Yes and yes… somethings you just can’t keep to yourself. Unlike you however, we definitely keep in touch. (all implications implied
)
I believe in the power of advertising, that’s why I keep my mouth shut.
Too many jealous women out there to be advertising the things you do with your man. It doesn’t even have to be sexual, could be as simple as him buying you tampons, women will still fiend for what you got.
I’m also selective about how much my SO is around my friends, and which friends I have him around. I don’t want them getting too buddy buddy. Don’t get me wrong, I love my friends. But I also know how women operate when they’re green with envy.
@Dom,
I’m also selective about how much my SO is around my friends, and which friends I have him around. I don’t want them getting too buddy buddy
do you trust your s.o.?
@The Champ,
It has less to do with trusting my SO and more to do with not trusting my friends/associates. So I have trust issues, sue me.
@Dom,
I can’t imagine not being able to trust my closest girlfriends. We are like sisters. I trust them with my life and my property, so I can definitely trust them around my man.
It might be time for some “Friendship Re-evaluation/Purging”. Some people are only meant to be in your life for a season… their season might be over.
I think it must be my age, but I’ve run through all my triflin associates. My girlz, my lifelong sista friends that I have currently have been fully vetted and have stood the tests of time and men. They can tell me any and everything and I can tell them any and everything… so as far as my real friends are concerned they already know all my business and i have very little fear of them being around my man or any man that I would date… but yeah advertising works. Any woman worth her salt can turn an average dude into THAT dude while she’s with him. And all the ladies will be flocking cuz if she’s doing him right, he’ll be a star while he’s with her.
@pgh muse,
I would have to cosign on that. I don’t know what’s the average age on VSB but I feel like some of those experiences are so far removed from mine.
And to tell you the truth, I have never had that problem with females either. A female close to me trying to be with a man while I am dating him… (oh, wait? Ok, I knew her but she was not close to me
)…
If we are history, then it’s anybody’s game afterwards. I wouldn’t have a problem if an associate dates my ex. That’s why he’s an ex. I actually set up a girlfriend with a dude I used to date. It was not a good match for me, but it was a great one for them! It probably stems from the fact that I generally have “as-nice as possible” breakups where we can still be civil and nice to each other afterwards.
@Ms. Sula,
I have to agree with everything you said. LOL… i definitely feel my age when I read some of these comments lol…
@pgh muse,
I feel the same way. That’s why I don’t mind being the official VSB Cat Lady, sitting on the porch w/the felines and snapping beans. The view from this porch is VERY good. I see it all.
Just what IS the average age on VSB? I’ve been trying to figure that out since I got here.
“If we are history, then it’s anybody’s game afterwards. I wouldn’t have a problem if an associate dates my ex. That’s why he’s an ex.”
Ooh girl, you are way better than me, lol.
@8th Wonder,
If we are history, then it’s anybody’s game afterwards. I wouldn’t have a problem if an associate dates my ex. That’s why he’s an ex.”
i’ve definitley been pondering this. I guess if it was a very short lived relationship then i wouldn’t care or if he was someone i casually dated, and he wasn’t a complete a$$hole – then if my girl wanted a crack at him… go ‘head. Good luck with that. But like my ex-husband or some man i was in a LTR with… i don’t think i’d be able to fucc wtih that. I think the rules of girlfriend loyalty kinda forbid that. Unless it was like 20 years after we divorced or something.
@pgh muse,
“My girlz, my lifelong sista friends that I have currently have been fully vetted and have stood the tests of time and men.”
Bless you pgh – I think we are officially the old heads around here. I can relate to pretty much everything on here, but it’s a memory from like 5-6 years ago, lol!
@Lil’T, I think we are officially the old heads around here
lol. i agree… don’t know how i feel about it… but i agree.
@pgh muse,
@Lil’T, I think we are officially the old heads around here
lol. i agree… don’t know how i feel about it… but i agree.
shush it, young bucks.
As I get older, I realize there are some things you have no business sharing with people outside of your relationship. I can be extremely secretive and keep most details to myself, but sometimes I just have to tell my closest girl what he (when I have a “he”) said/did to me that made me tingly all day. I’ve been extremely blessed to have wonderful loyal girlfriends, so I’ve never had a triflin experience, but I’m also not trying to chance it, so I keep those moments of weakness to a minimum, lol.
The only times I probably tell a little too much is when I’m reminiscing on an ex…then it’s like girlll, he made me see Jesus, stars, and lucky clovers, lmao!
@8th Wonder,
riding on unicorns and sliding down rainbows and sh!t…LMAO!!
Wall-sliding in pleasure and ish, LMAO!
@8th Wonder,
aherm *sigh*
co sign on seeing Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob surrounded by angels singing the Hallelujah Chorus… while cherubs do the Electric Slide n shyt… dammit, I’m leaving at 2 today.
Twinny, keep effin around and the only job you’ll be able to FIND will include testing “couches” all day.
@8th Wonder,
the joy of my line of work… i can work from home if need be. All I need is a laptop equipped with SAS and the internets….wait… I’ve got one!
But you are right Twinny… can’t be fykin wit the cash money…
NOT cherubs doing the electric slide!!!!!!!
i… just… can’t… *climbing into iron lung*
@blackberry molasses,
NOT cherubs doing the electric slide!!!!!!!
What about he made me see the next coming of Hayley’s Comet, while i was Moonwalking in between Orion’s belt, and doing the butterfly on the North Star
and i still… just… can’t…
*flipping over in iron lung to get better respiratory circulation*
Jesus.
@pgh muse,
um yeah… that too.
he’s coming to pick me up today because the weather just got really nasty and i didn’t wear my Timbs today… we may be ‘iced in’ *bemused smile*
@blackberry molasses,
um yeah… that too
@pgh muse,
oh but all joking aside…
@blackberry molasses,
lol.. i hear that…
I guess a few years ago I may have had some females in my life who would have done this. But these days, I only keep company with women I know and trust explicitly. These women are my FRIENDS. And true friends don’t get down with your man, I don’t care what you’ve said about the ride.
If I described an hours long tantric exertion with my latest partner, my best friends would say good for you (and TMI) then move on. I don’t know if they would think about it (I doubt it), but I know for a fact, they wouldn’t go after him, even if I gave it my blessing. That’s just how we are. Once your girl has got down with a man, he’s off limits to you. No exceptions! But maybe that’s just us.
@AstralTraveler,
Pretty much. It makes me wonder what we all call “friend” so willy nilly.
Ok, let me recap.
A few posts ago, we’ve seen that a lot of women don’t trust their men enough to give them money. We heard choice words like “this negro needs to have some support system to back him, up” and “I ain’t his bank account” among others.
Today, we realize that a lot of women also don’t “trust” their female friends. On some, “those bytches are ready to jump on my man, yadda yadda yadda”.
My question then is this: Who do you bloody trust? Because, if we’re walking around living in this permanent paranoia that everybody and anything is out to get us, then no wonder we’re dying of hypertension.
That shyt’s just not healthy, yo!
@Ms. Sula,
I co-sign on this. I mean, damn, every woman should have at LEAST one girlfriend that she can fully confide in…otherwise, wth.
@Ms. Sula,
****APPLAUSE**** chime tinkling, flag waving, horn blaring, confetti throwing…
people walking around stone crazy and wonder why their relationships are effed the eff up… but sanity is a process when you live in an insane world.
@Ms. Sula, I 3rd this motion…I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have at least one homie I could trust.
I know which ones I can’t trust though.
@Teacia, I know which ones I can’t trust though
If u can’t trust them they are not ur homie.
@Ms. Sula,
You know, “Sula” is one of my fave books ever. And with this post of yours, I dig ya too.
VSBers r some cynical mofos. Folks walking around w/ some serious trust issues around these parts.
@Luvvie
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sula!! And it’s funny that you mention the book, because ol girl was on some take your man type sh*t.
@V Renee,
Girl, that Sula was a confused child! But I could so identify with her not-fitting anywhere self that I copped her name.
She was on some ho sh*t, wasn’t she?
@Ms. Sula
LOL. Yeah she was def. on some ho sh*t……bless her heart.
@V Renee,
Sula was DEFINITELY on some Ho Sh*t, but there was something about her character that was still likeable. Although she was Satan’s spawn. In the end, she ended up doing more good than bad to them peoples.
@Luvvie,
Thanks Luvvie. And it’s one my favoritest books as well.
Who do you bloody trust?
the use of the term “bloody” makes this question all the more relavent, urgent, and bloody brilliant!! i love it!!
@Gem of the Ocean,
Oh ho Bonzer! Bloody Brilliant I say! Ms. Sula is no wanker to be sure! No need to tell her to ‘Bugger off!’
If ‘ont got one mate that I trust then life is all rubbish, innit??!
lmao bbmo you’s a damn fool!!
@Ms. Sula,
I will join the “AMEN” corner and add approximatly 2.45 cents as well!
I have exactly 3.75 people I trust with any and all secrets. How can you not have anybody in the world you trust? Not one single solitary person?
You ain’t got to trust the world wit all ya bidnaz but dang… you need at least 1.
@Ro,
“I have exactly 3.75 people I trust with any and all secrets.”
3.75 people? Is the 3rd person in their last trimester of pregnancy? Or is the 4th person a midget? I don’t get it.
*Going to Prayer Cubicle to repent*
@Luvvie,
Yeah. Go Sat down! Now!
*but on the serious, 3.75? What happened to the other quarter? Y’all are hilarious*
@Ms. Sula,
The other .25 was lost when seh stole my bamboo earrings, broke them and didn’t tell me about them til I needed them one night…6 months ago. She still earning it back!
@Ms. Sula,
bravo bravo bravo!!!!! I agree 110%!!!
That’s why I just tell all my secrets to my dog…LMAO!!!
I kid I kid…but for real though, you have to have at least one person you’d trust it all with.
@Ms. Sula,
Your amen corner is crowded, but I’m squeezing my booty in as well. I got a couple friends I can trust with my life – but it took me until almost 30 to really seperate the wheat from the shaft.
I think Camron captured this best in a snippet of the song Hey Ma’…
Yo L..
What up?
I hit.
What else?
Plus dome.
Say word?
And we got it on tonite.
That’s about the extent of it usually when dudes talk. Though a guy may say, how were the bunz? It’s kinda weird hearing a dude give play by play details of what he did to a chick. I don’t wanna actually envision one of my boys delivering spine tingling backshots to someone. That’s slightly…ehh…you know…pausable.
@Slim Jackson,
What abput actually seeing it?
One of the guys I used to date has seen the videos of his boy breaking some chick off. I’ve had my doubts about him in retrospect.
@Dom, I know many a man who tapes his affairs. I’ve seen footage. It’s comical and awkward at the same time. That was years ago. Haven’t seen any footage since.
@Slim Jackson, “It’s comical and awkward at the same time. That was years ago. Haven’t seen any footage since.”
This is true, it makes it more funny if there is a hidden “dougie” in the video.
i know HELLA dudes who watch their boys/associates get it on with some freak (doubt this would actually happen with an SO). in fact, just a few weeks ago one of my boys was telling many tales of ho sh*t that went down at his homecoming, all involving him and other dudes literally watching the ho sh*t go down–be it from a window lookin into the place of ho sh*tdom or being in a bed next to it.
*smh* wowsers.
@Gem of the Ocean and Slim,
Okay,
so thats just normal guy behavior. I still have my doubts about some other stuff. At least his record can be cleared on that front though.
@Dom,
Okay,
so thats just normal guy behavior
eh, i wouldnt say that. although i happily watch p*rn, i’m not too keen on watching a guy i actually know personally bone some hobbyhorse.
@The Champ
So you’re saying that you never ran across anyone you know on r.u.d.e?
@Slim Jackson,
this is so true. when this dude i was dating in college would talk to his friends he told me the convo usually went like this:
his friends: what did you do last night?
my dude: laylah spent the night
his friends: did yall eff?
my dude: no
his friends: did you get some dome?
my dude: no
and then the convo would end.
@laylah,
I aint tryna be Captain Cynic but you sho he was speaking the whole troof and nothing but?
@Slim Jackson,
I think Camron captured this best in a snippet of the song Hey Ma’…

@The Champ,
vsb.com: where clueless damsels finally get a clue on age-old songs!
I had no idea what he was yapping about. *smh*
Well I’m sure it’s happened to me…I don’t normally go into details about perfomance, it’s more vague…but i’m sure some batch somewhere done came behind and slopped up my seconds…and it’s cool.
Do I know of any…of course not, they know I’m crazy and that kind of info can’t be shared with me.
Have I offered up some of my leftovers to others…all the time, hey just b/c it didnt’ work for me doesn’t mean that it won’t work for you.
If he’s not my man anymore I honestly can care less…there is only one ex that is off limits…baby daddy, I just might have to hurt a batch if she sleeps with my daughter’s father, lol.
@Teacia,
I just might have to hurt a batch if she sleeps with my daughter’s father, lol.
all batches or just the batches you know personally?
First off….the McDonald’s commercial is HILARIOUS!!! (girl you got a 10 peice please don’t be stingaaaayyy)! Yes marketing does indeed work. Luckily I have a wonderful circle of friends that STRONGLY participate in the off limits rule. To us, when one of us gets with a guy he is IMMEDIATELY ugly, stank, unkept, our brother, whatever….he is no longer desired. I love my friends. I will say that men talk JUST as much as women do. I’ve learned that first hand from a Morehouse man. Never should somebody know where I was, when I was there, and what I did….ESPECIALLY if the person telling me is for the most part a random nigga. Don’t put it all on us boo, ya’ll talk too!
Great blog
@McKenzie C.,
Those Morehouse “men” talk more than most women I know.
@N.I.A. isonebadmutha…., not the real Morehouse G’s. Like myself.
We know when to shut our traps. So we can get in yours.
Zoinks!
@McKenzie C.,
welcome and sh*t
@McKenzie C., first, i’m gonna leave the morehouse ninjas alone.
second…welcome! *gold stars*
@McKenzie C., its not just Morehouse ninjas… Frat ninjas are the hands down worst at yapping. I dated a dude long distance and this ninja knew all the b-i before I could even tell him. Would send me random texts like: “Hey, how’s the roundtable going?”…. and that was after spontaneously deciding to go. I found out later…he had his frat, who had half the yard tracking my every move! He was immediatle fired.
@McKenzie C.,
By the way….House of Payne is the worst show in HISTORY!
@McKenzie C.,
Naw, I seen worse. Like Homeboys in Outer Space & The Flavor of love and all the spin-offs of that show
@eff yo couch,
Homeboys in Outta Space was hands down, top 3 of Sh*ttiest shows to ever be on TV. HANDS DOWN!!
Flex Washington is lucky he is a tall glass of FINE chocolate milk. Him and his natty high top futuristic fade were almost relegated to the Land of Abandoned People.
Maybe I don’t know enough females or the ones I talk to aren’t “gossipy” because I’ve never had that conversation before.
Me and most of my girls (I’m excluding one because she’s what I like to call “special”) know better. The only time we “talk” is if the guy was a complete waste of time. If I have nothing to say about the guy I’m with, that means I’m happy.
Advertising do work especially when they have a catchy jingle. I swear everytime I see Clinton Portis I think of….Eastern Motors. Anyone who lives in the DC-MD-VA area knows what i’m talking about. And if I were still living in MD and wanted a used car, i would have probably checked out eastern motors.
I agree that House of Payne is HORRIBLE. I saw it twice: once with Mr. Brown and the other w/o Mr. Brown and he made the show funny. He’s getting his own show on TBS which should be funnier than House of Payne.
@Killa K,
Those Eastern Motors commercials are sooo ghetto!! Just plain bad! And their establishments are just as hood.
