in order to efficiently survive a recession, a time putting excessive strain on employment, friendships, romance, and finance, you need to be able to sell yourself better than karrine stephens.

do you wanna ride?: the twelve biggest ho's in human history

while its extremely difficult to define what exactly constitutes a “ho”, like good point guards and bad weave, we can all confidently say that we know one when we see one.

with this in mind, and keeping with vsb.com’s commitment to fight crime, i’ve decided to bless the vsb pulpit today with the twelve biggest ho’s in human history. enjoy

***btw, breath easy overit and redbeanz. i edited the list down from “14″, so your names didn’t make the cut***

moulay ismail

with over 888 recorded offspring (the most in world history), moulay the bloodthirsty laid more raw pipe than bob vila. if boning indiscriminately was bad hair, he’d be tameka cottle.

jenny curran

forrest-gump-jenny-curran

when you consider the fact that jenny lived during the most promiscuous era in american history, and was (chronologically) a southern college student, a playboy playmate, a stripper, a hippie, a rock rodie, and a black panther groupie, and

was probably the first hiv positive hetero white female in the country, the over/under on how many people she slept with has to be at 500.

karrine “supahead” steffans

supa

question: when supahead’s son is teased in school about his mother’s nickname and exploits, do you think he gets pissed, cries, or just says “f*ck it” and shrugs it off?

or (and this is my favorite theory), do you think he rips on her first, a preemptive roasting strategically done to quell outside attacks, like steve martin in “roxanne”?

magic johnson

put it this way: anyone who (according to the rumors) used to grab a skittles bag thrice per week, pour out the contents, and bone whatever color came out the bag (for instance, if two yellows, a red, and a purple dropped out, he’d sleep with two asians, an indian chick, and a sista that night) deserves placement on the list

queen jocasta

better known as odeipus rex’s mother and eventual wife, the queen also makes the cut on my top ten “least likely to be invited to any more family picnic’s” list

prince charles

makes the list solely for bagging the ugliest mistress the world has ever seen.

travis henry

travis-henry-arrested-drugs-cocaine-deal-dea

do you realize how hard you have to work to have eleven kids by ten different women in nine different states? i mean, when you consider this, as well as the facts that he was a habitual weed smoker and nfl running back (two activities proven to kill sperm cells), you can make the argument that henry’s spunk is stronger than kimbo slice.

honestly, they need to redo that chuck norris site and just have “travis henry’s spunk facts” (ie: “travis henry’s spunk doesn’t read books. it stares them down until it gets the information it needs” and “there is no theory of evolution. just a list of animals travis henry’s spunk allows to live”)

erykah badu

for those surprised with her name on the list, name another never married 30-something multi-millionaire woman with three kids by three different men.

take your time. i’ll be here a while…and so will you.

wilt chamberlain

forget the fact that he slept with 20,000 women. dude was seven feet tall, 300 pounds, wore a size 20 shoe, and reportedly had hands that measured 14 inches (!!!) from the palm of his hand to the tip of his middle finger.

i’m more amazed that there were 20,000 different women in the country with the sexual ability to sleep with him without giving themselves a hysterectomy.

bill clinton

of all the clinton concubines, were any of them (including his wife) even above a 4.5? it never made any sense to me. you’re the most powerful man in the world, and the best you could do were construction clerks and waffle house waitresses?

tonya cooley

tonya

the lebron james of reality show sluts, tonya’s the gold standard, the perpetually bent over bicycle benchmark in a genre defined by hotivity. she’s to fuzzy screen “they’re not having sex in there, are they?” sex what zoe saldana is to movie tokenism.

helen of troy

lemme get this straight: she single-handedly caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of men killed in the trojan war, as well as the demise of millions of schoolchildren around the world, dead from boredom after being forced to read her tale in class…all because she couldn’t keep her hot ass panties on???

helen of troy, f*ck you.

that’s it from me. did i miss anyone?

tale of the tape: “hood” vs “ghetto”

coming to a hood near you
coming to a hood near you

there’s a very pronounced difference between the adjectives “hood and ghetto” and their respective connotations. for many, hood is a state of mind…a practical, unpretentious and, at times, hilariously resourceful way of doing things born from sheer necessity (think erykah badu).

ghetto, on the other hand, describes blatantly ignant and uncouth actions (think random unmarried hoodrat with three kids by three different fathers. in other words…think erykah badu again)

despite these facts, its still extremely difficult to pin-point and articulate their distinguishable traits.

as a self-proclaimed master of semantics, i’ve decided to end the confusion today, offering you all a simple guidebook to help to tell the difference between “hood” and “ghetto”. enjoy and sh*t

kool-aid is inherently hood, especially the darker colors (red and grape).
serving kool-aid at a wedding reception is ghetto, regardless of how great you think black cherry goes with tilapia.

hood

definitely hood

ghetto-idtiot

definitely ghetto, and definitely a great advertisement for birth control

tims in the summertime is hood. musty, but hood.
tims at the prom is disgustingly ghetto

chicken places that serve chicken with things that chicken traditionally doesn’t go with (waffles, pancakes, oysters, midgets) are very hood.

chicken places that run out of chicken at 7pm because they’re done cooking for the night, even though they close at 11 are ghetto (is this just a pittsburgh thing? please tell me that it is. please tell me that the kfc’s and popeyes in other places in the country actually still allow you to purchase chicken 5 hours before closing)

carrying a “buck 50″ (a “buck 50″ is a razorblade for those not well-versed in hoodspeak. it’s referred to as a “buck 50″ because a slice to the face usually results in 150 stitches. btw, knowing random sh*t like this makes me feel more black. its not a game with the champ’s blackness. my blackness will kick you blacknesses ass) with you at all times is hood. it’s especially hood if you carry it in your mouth

using that same razorblade for things such as “clipping fingernails”, “cutting salad”, and “changing diapers” is hilariously ghetto

despite having no literary skills whatsoever, writing a well selling book about your sexual exploits as a video vixen is actually pretty hood

being named “supahead” and actually allowing yourself to be referred to as supahead is the epitome of ghettoness. in fact, the name “supahead” in itself is so ghetto, that anything associated with it (including bill maher) becomes ghetto by osmosis.

peeing while waiting in line at the club is hood and a surprisingly effective bagging technique.

sitting down to go to the bathroom at any point while you’re actually in the club, unless you’ve been overcome with a sudden bout of amoebic dysentery, is ghetto

in an odd paradox, the jay-z’s “so ghetto“, off of “volume 3: life and times of s.carter” is actually pretty hood, while dj khaled’s “i’m so hood” is quite possibly the ghettoest thing ever conjured in the history of ninjadom

using a spades game as a viable double dating and/or hook-up opportunity is definitely hood

writing “big” and “little” in big ass black letters with a marker on the jokers because your dumb ass cant remember which is which, is ghetto

“md 20/20″ is hood, until you reach 21. basically, if its legal for you to drink it, it’s ghetto.

breakfast for dinner is hood

the breakfast song? ummm, does the term uberghetto exist?

grilling outdoors while its snowing is hood
grilling outdoors with a robe on while its snowing is ghetto (sorry dad)

having a childrens birthday party at mcdonalds is hood
having childrens birthday party at mcdonalds and making all the guests buy their own food is ghetto

i know i’m forgetting a few. people of vsb.com, what say you? in your opinion, whats the difference between “hood” and “ghetto”?
