the ten commandments of corny

*****8:00am edit: after seeing a few of the comments, for the sake of clarity i wanted to note that i’m NOT referring to “corny” and “cornball” in the goofy/silly/lighthearted context, but in the loser/lame/douchebag/a-hole/”you suck at life” context. carry on*****

pedophiles

fascists

terrorists

7th graders

native new yorkers

each of these people represent the torn 2-ply tissue on the hemorrhoid of the world’s ass. yet, in the champ’s mind, they’re each more reputable than the star of today’s entry, the cornballthe person who thinks and acts like their obnoxiously lecherous acts make them cooler than they really are.

with some help from our crack research team, we’ve managed to procure a copy of a very revealing corny manifesto, a document thats apparently passed out at their monthly meetings in harlem, and we’re publishing a portion of it today to school everyone to the true devious traits and nature of the corny muthaf*cker.

so, without further ado, here are the ten commandments of corny

1. thou shall repeatedly practice penetration deception

ah yes. nothing screams “i’m a f*cking cornball!!” louder than lying about who you have and haven’t slept with. guys, try your bestest to fabricate elaborate sexual stories about each of the chicks you’re hugged up with in a facebook pic. ladies, always remember that the tip doesnt count, and especially doesn’t count if he was lame, if you were tipsy, or if he played you.

2. thou shall incorporate each of these terms in your daily lexicon, and thee incorporation shall be unambiguously unironic: hate. “no homo”. pimp. gay. playa. fo shizzle.

3. thou shall have two different laughs: one for genuine feeling and one exaggerated laugh for when you think you’re the only one who “got” the joke

4. thou shall try thee hardest to use thy cell phone at the most inopportune times

make sure to have your phone attached to your ear while you’re waiting in line at starbucks, on the bus, in the club, or anywhere else where the noise level means you have absolutely no chance of hearing what the person on the other end is saying. in fact, make it so inopportune that the people surrounding you are simultaneously questioning your santiy and plotting to throat punch you. remember, its of dire importance that you recap the last five minutes of harlem heights to your girl while on the train at 8:13am.

5. thou shall partake in internet beef

6. thou shall willingly be “the other person”

if in doubt, just remember that jay-z said that its basically mandatory that grown ups have affairs

7. thou shall be a condescending vegan or atheist.

8. thou shall get fired from various occupations, repeatedly

when doing this, thou shall also try to find a different reason for termination each time.

9. thou shall practice and perform the piss-boy pirouette

whenever an attractive woman walks past, make sure to react as if you’re a type 1 diabetic and a giant insulin-filled syringe is switching down the street. leer. point. wag your tongue. spin in a complete circle. try to accidentally castrate yourself by blindly walking into a fire hydrant

10. thou shall unironically refer to thyself in the third person at all times

unless, of course, you’re the champ, who’s the exact opposite of what thy strives to be

hmmm. do you think they missed anything?

*****edit 10:50am*****

11. (from me fail english?)

thou shall affect white accents to give thee words more authority, while simultaneously incorporating overused hood maxims.

[In best Peter Jennings voice] “For all intensive purposes, it’s a cut and dry situation at the end of the day…”

12. (from k)

thou shall proclaim to like something ONLY b/c it’s not ‘mainstream’ or nobody else likes it.

this includes religion, types of music, food, clothes, clubs, the opposite sex etc.

        I’m guessing it’s announcing, lol. But Goodeness gets a pass cause she’s a Macy Gray doppelganger. But she changed her profile pic. ; )

        • @RedBeanzNRice,
          “Goodeness gets a pass cause she’s a Macy Gray doppelganger.”

          *head to the side, nose scrunched*

          ummm…I would say “thanks” but…ummm…is this supposed to be a compliment? cuz last time I checked MG looked (and sounded) like a retarded, mute, Donkey that has had too many cocktails!… I’m just saying…can we get some more people over here?

          (all “?” in THIS entry were used properly)

            • @RedBeanzNRice,

              Like Macy Gray in what kind of way? Physical attraction? I don’t see the resemblance at all. Learn me please.

            • @The Champ,

              NINJA! you don’t have to be able to talk to DRINK a DRINK…it’s a fuggin DONKEY he ain’t going to the d@mn club! GEESH! you think too much!

            • “NINJA! you don’t have to be able to talk to DRINK a DRINK…it’s a fuggin DONKEY he ain’t going to the d@mn club!”

              i’m just saying, if the donkey is drunk, he needs to be able to speak to order a drink in the donkey club

      • @Dorian G.,

        dang…a sister misuses ONE “?” and just can’t get a break…lol…I was excited to be first and sh!t and typed faster than my inn English knot-zee could read…won’t happen again boss!

  1. I have a question, what if a guy lies about NOT sleeping with a woman because of embarrassment of said woman. Does that make him a cornball, and of course what if a woman lies about sleeping with a guy because she’s trying to bring herself up, does that make her a cornball? Or do only traditional corny sex lies count?

  2. “whenever an attractive woman walks past, make sure to react as if you’re a type 1 diabetic and a giant insulin-filled syringe is switching down the street. leer. point. wag your tongue. spin in a complete circle. try to accidentally castrate yourself by blindly walking into a fire hydrant”

    LMAO. But my favorite (or most despised) is #7. I am passionate about this one. Any form of condescension will get you added to my “I can’t stand..” list of nouns. Cynical people I can deal with, even like. Condescending bastards…

    Uh..ooh! I’ve employed “no homo” once. Only once. After observing the people using the term I realized I would soon be grouped with these cornballs if I didn’t change my ways.

    @ Champ

    Is there any way to regain lost cool points? Or are these offenses simply unforgivable?

    • @Ms. Hall,

      Okay VSB. This post was lost, somehow, so I thought I’d be anonymous in the re-post. Now it reappears only to out me as being corny. Thanks a lot guys.

    • @Ms. Hall,

      Is there any way to regain lost cool points? Or are these offenses simply unforgivable?

      sure. you can gain cool points back. just don’t try to lose em again by replying to your own comment, and you’re cool

  3. LMAO at #9. But my favorite (or most despised) is #7. I am passionate about this one. Any form of condescension immediately places you in the dislike category of my brain. Cynicism I like. Condescension I hate.

    @ Champ,

    I have this friend who used “no homo” once. She..I mean..He saw the error of his ways and never used the term again. Is he doomed to be a cornball forever? Or can he somehow regain those lost cool points? What should I tell him?

    • @Ms. Hall, I feel the same way about condescension..I mean you can disagree all you want but that shyt pi$$es me off….

    • @Ms. Hall,

      I hate cynics! I always held the contention they must be secretly unhappy and scared of disappointment. Which is fine with me but why Debbie Downer the isht outta everyone else’s lunch? Throat-chop!

      • @Me fail english?,

        I feel you. Most Americans are usually optimistic. However I worked with the French for a few years so now the cynicism is just funny to me.

        **side note: What’s with all of the violence? Specifically abuse to the throat area? I’ve seen several posts, mostly by female posters, referencing this Bernie Mack endorsed method of settling your differences. Is the throat-chop the new black?

        • @Ms. Hall,

          “Is the throat-chop the new black?”

          Yes. Especially if you’re miss t-lee.

          You should try it out sometime. It’s rather refreshing.

  4. I agree totally with your list..I hate corny a$$ ninjas with a passion that burns as hot as 10,000 suns…
    Corny ninjas name drop..their car, where they live who they know etc…if in 2 minutes of conversation I have your business card, know who your boss is, how much you make what kind of car you drive and where and how much you paid for your home? you are a lame a$$ cornball

    if you inject sexual overtones into every single conversation

    if you wear a gold chain of any sort
    or you wear button downs with no undershirt and the top 2 buttions open…if you wear the top 3 buttons open you are also a pedophile or a rapist
    if you give laugh so hard at your own joke you cant finish it and when you finally do no one else ever laughs? you guessed it

    • @shay_d_lady,
      “if in 2 minutes of conversation I have your business card, know who your boss is, how much you make what kind of car you drive and where and how much you paid for your home? you are a lame a$$ cornball”

      I think I met a tribe of those the other night..I mean U was nauseated at the lengths these ninjas went to to “impress” who/what they think I am is ri(fuggin)diculous!

    • @shay_d_lady,
      “Corny ninjas name drop..their car, where they live who they know etc…if in 2 minutes of conversation I have your business card, know who your boss is, how much you make what kind of car you drive and where and how much you paid for your home? you are a lame a$$ cornball”

      This sh1t right here makes my teeth itch! And we have all me some1 like this and if you haven’t then please count your blessings.
      Like this one muhfukka who felt the need to let us know that his house has 2 swimming pools – muthafukka for what???

      • @YGB,

        “Like this one muhfukka who felt the need to let us know that his house has 2 swimming pools – muthafukka for what???”

        So he can let you know that he has at least THREE places to pee in, that’s why! You ain’t a balla fa real if you don’t have at least a bathroom AND a pool to pee in!

        • @blackberry molasses,
          LMAO!

          Sounds like the type to only drink the finest of Cambodian breast milks. Anything else, well that shit just aint baller.

        • “So he can let you know that he has at least THREE places to pee in, that’s why!”

          OMG why did this make me laugh out loud forreal?LOL

      • @YGB,

        Like this one muhfukka who felt the need to let us know that his house has 2 swimming pools – muthafukka for what???

        Now its too dayum early in the morning for me to be laughing this hard. CUT IT OUT

    • @shay_d_lady, “Corny ninjas name drop..their car, where they live who they know etc…if in 2 minutes of conversation I have your business card, know who your boss is, how much you make what kind of car you drive and where and how much you paid for your home? you are a lame a$$ cornball”

      These people SUCK.

    • @shay_d_lady,

      “or you wear button downs with no undershirt and the top 2 buttions open…if you wear the top 3 buttons open you are also a pedophile or a rapist”

      I thought I was the only one that thought that! Dudes that do that give me the heebie jeebies. Especially if they have taco meat on their chest and trying to show it off…

    • @shay_d_lady,

      “if you wear a gold chain of any sort”

      *looks around nervously* mine is flava tho!

      I also admit to being a native ny’er and former seventh grader.

      lol@ the laugh part. I do laugh at my own jokes and on occassion I’m the only one. In my own defense though, I genuinely think I’m funny. Not my fault that no one agrees *shrugs*

    • @shay_d_lady, or you wear button downs with no undershirt and the top 2 buttions open…if you wear the top 3 buttons open you are also a pedophile or a rapist

      I this several times last weekend. And one guy had the nerve to also have on a gold chain and had an extra hairy chest. yuck!!

      • @N.I.A. fabuloussince1982….,

        Tangentially related, but I’ve always wondered: Are hairy-chested chain-wearers concerned about the chain getting caught in the hair? Has this happened? What is the on-the-spot solution ( cutting the chain free when he gets home is the first thing that springs to mind)?

        Important questions, these.

    • @shay_d_lady,

      Corny ninjas name drop..their car, where they live who they know etc…if in 2 minutes of conversation I have your business card, know who your boss is, how much you make what kind of car you drive and where and how much you paid for your home? you are a lame a$$ cornball

      “name-dropping” would have made the cut if the list was extended to 15

    • @shay_d_lady,

      “if in 2 minutes of conversation I have your business card, know who your boss is, how much you make what kind of car you drive and where and how much you paid for your home? you are a lame a$$ cornball”

      Not to bring up past discussions, but yesterday VSS told me that money = looks as far as women were concerned. So is flaunting your money = flaunting your a$$? If so how is that corny?

      • @Dorian G.,

        I think a gratuitous display of money/status/ass/breastmeats/cars/jewelry and other stuff is just in poor taste. They all make the offending party look corny, if not desperate.

        But everyone defines “gratuitous” differently.

    • @shay_d_lady,

      “if you wear a gold chain of any sort”

      Chill out! I’m west indian, and a native ny’er, its in my blood, plus no1 knows I have have it on till I take my shirt off…so the question is if your feeling me, we go out have a good time, go home and about to get intimate, I take my shirt off, am I a cornball!? Does your panties shoot up?

      • @Toussaintthefree,

        Lmao at your indignation!

        But, in all seriousness, yes. Mine would.

        But, you know, diff’rent strokes for diff’rent folks.

        • @WordSmith,

          LMBAO…the mental visual of this is hilarious!

          Plus, I keep thinking about the scence in Friday when Debo had took ol’ boy’s gold chain and he said,
          “My GRANDMOMMA bought me that chain!” and he runs off like a little girl.

          Gold chains are corny, though…

      • @Toussaintthefree,

        One of my co workers is west indian and omg he has on a gold chain. You can barely see it. I wonder if he has a lot of chest hair??? Maybe i’lll ask him.

      • @Toussaintthefree, so the question is if your feeling me, we go out have a good time, go home and about to get intimate, I take my shirt off, am I a cornball!? Does your panties shoot up?

        yes

        • @shay_d_lady,
          O well, I must be a cornball then…and I’m proud! So thats three ladies that won’t give it to me…I can understand gold teeth, but a gold chain!? Whatever lol

  5. My name is Monk…and I’m a cornball.

    My corny jokes is the reason for this though, not the things The Champ mentions above. I consider THOSE people a variation of douchebags, asshats, flossers, perpetraitors, and socialites. And I wish they stop giving my fellow corny folks a bad stigma.

    Thank you. God Bless. Good Night.

    • @Monk,
      I thunk of YOU as soon as I read the post…and to make the record crystal clear…YOU ARE NOT THIS!! That’s why I was so confused-ed about that “cornball” meant…when I think CORNBALL, I think bad jokes and sappy humor…not caddy keys jingling ATM receipt flippin lying on they d!ck looking boys! People that follow these commandments deserve whatever “bad stigma” they get!

    • @Monk,

      I think you’re fly! I’m sure that was a cornball thing to say, but who gives a “blank”? At any rate, you’re not a cornball – you just express yourself in a humorous way that’s different from the norm.

      If you weren’t pissy yellow, I even go as far as saying you’re sexy. Get some sun – we’ll talk. ; )

      • @RedBeanzNRice,

        Woooe hold on there Red… I know for real that the AA’s w/ less melanin don’t like being refered to in the same conototation as micturition. (my baby sis is not so melanin endowed as are some of my cousins)

        • @WuDaMan,

          You know what Wu – you’re right – sorry bout that. I never even looked at it that way – it’s just a term I grew up hearing. *shrugs*

          • @RedBeanzNRice,

            I feel you I have been tryin to learn what is easiest to come accross non harsh. Cuz written prose is not my thing. & tone is soooo hard to convey. n u ain’t got to be sorry be better. matter o fact I know some ways you could… nah :) just playin.

    • @Monk,

      Yeah, Monk. My definition of CORNBALL is much different. And, in fact, each of the items/traits Champ listed have their own individual names…neither of which is cornball.

      • @iloVEGrits,

        I’mma use plenty of leeway with how I view cornball here sorta in the same way Bodie’s use of “Simon” couldn’t quite be pinned down yesterday…open for interpretation…

        • @maria,
          *high five and secret VSS handshake*

          I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!

          I was readikng this and was like…

          “oh these is sum ole SIMON looking a$$ ni99as!”

          FYI – I think I used “SIMON” like fiddy-lebben times yesterday!

    • @Monk,

      My corny jokes is the reason for this though, not the things The Champ mentions above. I consider THOSE people a variation of douchebags, asshats, flossers, perpetraitors, and socialites. And I wish they stop giving my fellow corny folks a bad stigma.

      i made an edit to the entry to explain the context of corny. there’s a good corny, and an evil corny.

  6. Thou shall still fall victim to tryin to “fit-in” by any means necessary. This will usually entail one, if not all, of the following traits: being fake, being 2-face, partaking in, perpetuating or promotion of obnoxiously adolescent-isk gossip that your too grown self knows is some b.u.l.l.s.h.*.t

    You will always have your priorities askew…as in Example 1.“it’s summer time, so I don’t need to pay that gas bill”…instead your purchase some dumb sh*t you don’t need but that you really, really want” Example 2. You bail out of or dodge a commitment b/c something “better” came or is possibly going to come along… I’m not taking about relationship commitment more like, “No I can’t make your birthday party/be by your side post-surgery/attend your blog of the year award etc b/c I got courtside tickets to…I just won a trip to New York (you live in New Jersey), um my new gadget (laptop, digital camera, Wii) arrived today so I’d rather play around with it…etc.

    • @maria,

      “Thou shall still fall victim to tryin to “fit-in” by any means necessary.”

      Actually, because I’m into entertainment and the fact that I DON’T try to fit in with the “in-crowd” is part of the reason they look at ME as the corny one. I’ll be dat.

      • @Monk,

        I don’t see you as corny at all for NOT changing you to try to be part of the “in-crowd” in fact, that is the opposite of cornball. Stayin true to yourself is what my point supports…the “in crowd”usually are the ones that are bending themselves any-which-way to so-called be runnin sh#t, it’s usually just in their lil circle or mind that they are actually the front-runners…

      • @Monk,
        “Actually, because I’m into entertainment and the fact that I DON’T try to fit in with the “in-crowd” is part of the reason they look at ME as the corny one. I’ll be dat.”

        I think this is what would make a person uncorny (if that’s even a word)! Do you man!

        • @YGB,

          Of course in my book, they’re the lame ones, but you know how it is when everyone’s just a bunch of d*ck rydas and you’re not. You’re going to always get looked at as the odd ball. Oh well.

  7. oh and cornball/super l.a.m.e.a.s.s you deny your family (children) to try to get sum…seriously, wow! you just sunk to an unforgiveable low…

  8. …this is an extremely accurate description of an a$$hole I know. I feel much better having left his a$$ alone.

    …thanks and sh*t.

  9. I’m not sure our definitions of cornballs mesh, Champ. But if I were following your line of thinking (and, since it’s your site, I guess I have to) I would add that a cornball is a person who needs constant guidance/advice/support/direction to make decisions about their lives. I am finding more and more that this is a very irritating personality trait in a person. Hell, even if you make a bad decision you made it.

  10. 2. thou shall incorporate each of these terms in your daily lexicon, and thee incorporation shall be unambiguously unironic: hate. “no homo”. pimp. gay. playa. fo shizzle.

    I think this has to be my favorite. Unless you’re a highschool sophomore…you are definitely a cornball

    Just generally lie about everything. Even ish that noone really cares about…like your shoe size. Extra points for extremely unbelievable and/or obvious lies

    • @Imperfect,

      Even ish that noone really cares about…like your shoe size

      yeah, the person who lies about sh*t noone cares about anyway gets a booth at the cornball convention

    • @Imperfect,

      “Unless you’re a highschool sophomore…you are definitely a cornball”
      or
      You’re white and you’re trying too hard to impress your negro friends.

  11. i have a good one! Hi VSB! **waving** U facebook and text message stalk people with secxual convo’s and innuendo and u barely know a person. You know… u get their information- for whatever reason… and u just start chatting with them on facebook and introduce scex into the conversation or send random texts of a questionable nature. You and this person never came to any kind of consensus that you had a relationship of any sort… let alone one that permit sexual conversations… so. in summary, facebook, and text message stalking people is CORNY.

    • @pgh muse,

      How about “grown-ups” who send you mass textings to the tune of:

      “Do u think I’m sxy?? Reply 1=yes, 2=no”

      That and chain letters make me wanna box God.

      • @Me fail english?,

        omg I cant stand chain txts or chain letters and of course they are all being sent by some grown ass people. no i will not forward this stupid sh!t to 14 people. get the fluck outta here.

        • @mssmtaylor,

          Chain letters make me wanna cry I swear! I think I will just take the chance of the 7 years of bad luck thank you!

        • @mssmtaylor,

          please excuse my errant use of the ‘enter’ key but umm….you actually had somebody send you that?!?!?

          my faves are the ones tied to BBJ a la pass this along to 12.7 people you know or you will not be allowed entry to the pearly gates. really?!?! st. peter ‘gon be asking about my internet/cell phone usage?!?!

          like, ‘naw SG.’

          *st. peter tilts his halo to the side and strikes his best b-boy pose*

          ‘it says here (checks list like a club bouncer) that on Neveruary 32nd, 2009 you failed to forward that message about how the man upstairs…well really, right over there ’cause we already upstairs…

          but anyways, about how he carries you in times of need–did you NOT see that one set of footprints in the sand? and how you are too blessed to be stressed so shame the devil and pass this on otherwise you are denying your savior message that you got.

          ‘member? you know the one from your girl T, even though she got it from her good and grown co-worker who ain’t been to church since hector was a puppy. but nevermind. she’s right behind you and im’ma deal with her next. FAIL. you shall not pass!!!

          and then he bangs his holy staff like gandalf in the lord of the rings when they were stuck in the mine fighting that monster and i too fall into the dark chasm into the welcoming arms of satan.

          at least that’s how it plays in my head whenever i get one of those. if i like the message/it brightened my crappy day or whatever and i feel like it, i’ll delete the crap and pass it to whoever i d@mn well please. i really don’t think BBJ is gonna block my blessings for not participating in mass forwarding hysteria. he know what it is.

          That’s verbatim! Yuck. Its my fault for having the same cell number since HS!!

  12. I too am having difficulty with your definition of cornball… but h3ll, this is your party and I’m just crashing.

    I think my father is the corniest of cornballs and he displays none of the traits above. He just has corny, old man sensibilities sometimes… and they make me laugh. Its one of the reasons I love my dad. There are other men around me (my own included) that I have called corny, and its all with love.

    I think what you have written is the “Ten Commandments of Being a Socially Inept A55hole.” That being said, I don’t disagree with you. I will add to the commandments a wee bit later.

  13. “plotting to throat punch you”

    I’m always plotting …lol
    All 10 of these were examples of classic douchebagerry behavior. (as my 2520 friends call it).
    I think it sounds more appropriate than cornball, but what they hey…
    Carry on.

  14. I’ll add to this list:

    -People with big dreams and no plans to make them happen.

    -People that talk a buncha ish about someone else in the hopes that they’ll make an “ally” out of you.

    -People who ask me a lot of questions in a row, with no sense of shame… I can’t be held responsible for how I react and you’ll probably dislike me afterwards.

    -People who complain when you won’t lend them money or give them rides. I’ve never given birth. I owe you nothing, Uncle Jake.

    -People who pretend to know things and say it with conviction, when they really were just guessing. I’d much rather you tell me you don’t know how to get to 70th so I can ask someone who knows than be sent on a dummy mission. Thanks for the “help”

    I’d like to add stars who say something was “taken out of context”. No…it wasn’t

    or we remain great friends”. No you dont

    • And another thing…

      (yes I reply to my own posts, much the way I laugh at my own jokes. I might be corny for that.)

      -People who try to tell me how I grew up based on how I’m doing now and people who think they know how far I can/will get in life based on how I grew up.

      I am young, black and educated. I straddle many realms. Don’t fence me in…douche!

    • @Me fail english?

      “I’d like to add stars who say something was “taken out of context”. No…it wasn’t”

      This always cracks me up. They (Usher) are full of shyt. Own up to what you said, don’t be apologetic. C. Milian’s hair did look a hot azz mess. Her and “radio killa” need to be smacked.

    • At the risk of wearing the angry black woman crown I shall add to my post yet again….

      -People who fake accents. Even worse than blaccenters are people of color who affect a “white accent” to give their words more authority…all the while using poor grammar, overused hood maxims and confusing words that sound alike, but don’t really mean the same thing.

      [In best Peter Jennings voice] “For all intensive purposes, it’s a cut and dry situation at the end of the day…”

      Stop it.

      -People who purposely mispronounce words to sound cool or down.

      Again, stop it…or I shall be forced to thrash you.

      -People who think they can jedi mind trick you into un-seeing/hearing some isht you already seen/heard!

      “What powdered donut…there’s nothing on my mouth…even if I ate it, I probably found it somewhere…no, not in your lunchbag…”

      Grrrrr

      • @Me fail english?, “[In best Peter Jennings voice] “For all intensive purposes, it’s a cut and dry situation at the end of the day…” ”

  15. Blog me The Champ for I have cornballed

    *lays down on red plushy leather couch*

    #5. Me n Da Hostess got into it a long time ago. It’s a rare situation in my life. I happen upon some people n when I hear their voice I get irate. My ocd (zodiac stuff n superstitions) has shown me it occurs redily w/ Aquarius women (okay it happened once maybe twice). I’m like @ least I hate her not complacent her (cuz complacency is the true opposite of love). *shrugging shoulders* I don’t understand it. But I want to. She is my blogworld arch nemesis because of one day on here n one day on her blog that led to a few days following but I was in a bad bad space when this was starting.

    #9. I love gauking @ hot chicks. I don’t go there no more because I have learned the secret peek. N E body Ceen Role Model. bwuahahahahaaha BOOBIES

      • @Me fail english?,

        You welcome n Regular bm’s all around. Yeah welcome to my world. It’s like this in my head all fuhckin day. BTW I really almost failed english twice.

    • @WuDaMan,

      “#5. Me n Da Hostess got into it a long time ago.

      She is my blogworld arch nemesis because of one day on here n one day on her blog that led to a few days following but I was in a bad bad space when this was starting.”

      is this actually true, or just another wu-ism?

      • @The Champ,

        It’s true to the blog world. I feel like I don’t ever want to meet or see a pic of her hear her voice. I think on a lesser level (she has nothing to do with hostess snack cakes). My bad bad place explained – N I was 1.breaking up w/ the ex-fiance n had lost 6 family members in 5 weeks. Some of the stuff she was saying made me incredible hulk mad. Reminded me of the mindset of the ex too. N for some odd reason I like it a lil staying mad w/ her. Who knows maybe it’s a case of ‘when it rains it pours.’ Am I projecting?

  16. Thou art a cornball if you wear a bedazzled medallion of your face around your neck – i.e. Ricky Ross, Plies

    Thou art a cornball if you refer to oneself as a goon.

    Thou art a cornball if you are male, come to the club with no money in your pocket, convince other people to buy you a drink, and when Lil Wayne’s “Got Money” comes on, you are the first one to get extra hyped.

    **can we just replace cornball with lame? I feel it’s more fitting**

    • @V Renee,

      Addendum: Thou art a cornball of the most severe proportions if you buy bottles and get a booth at the club and rent a room/do not have a car.

      • @Me fail english?,

        What if you have more pleasure being/buying bottles at the club than owning a house and/or a car?

        I don’t know. That’s somebody’s whose priorities are not mine but I don’t know if it’s lame or douchebaggy per se. :)

    • @V Renee,
      O SO TURE!! You touched a nerve..knew this cornball when 50′s ” I gets money” came on he threw out fifties and hundreds…FAKE fifties and hundreds, ninjas was looking for him!

  17. I would add:

    Thou shall proclaim to like something ONLY b/c it’s not ‘mainstream’ or nobody else likes it. This includes religion, types of music, food, clothes, clubs, the opposite sex etc.

    • @K.,

      Yeah I don’t care for the mindless poseur-contrarians either. Possible that I’m confusing this with cynicism. Maybe that’s why I’m turned off by cynics in general.

    • @K.,

      Thou shall proclaim to like something ONLY b/c it’s not ‘mainstream’ or nobody else likes it. This includes religion, types of music, food, clothes, clubs, the opposite sex etc.

      this is a great one. i’m actually mad that i didn’t incorporate this on the list somehow

    • @K.,

      Yes. The extremists who loathes everything just because others like it and loves everthing just because others hate it are pretty lame in my opinion.

  18. 1. thou shall repeatedly practice penetration deception

    2. thou shall incorporate each of these terms in your daily lexicon, and thee incorporation shall be unambiguously unironic: hate. “no homo”. pimp. gay. playa. fo shizzle.

    I have a former classmate wh ogreatly exaggerated his sexxiness, and his secsual experiences. And, to add to #2, I would add “real talk”. He would constantly say this after he said something questionable or untrue, especially his regarding sexual rendevous. This dude was a cornball in general, and then he became a Kappa, which just exacerbated his wactastik cornballishness….

  19. CRACKING UP!!! Yaa thinks that people that ride around in artic azz temps with their windows rolled down and blasting their music should be added to the list. Yaa also thinks that people that walk around the club holding a bottle should be on the list. (Most of the time the bottle is empty anyway after said person and his boyz or girlz have pooled their money between 15 people to buy the bottle only to get a sip).

    • @Yaa,

      Heh, heh, heh. GUILTY! Although, my bottle is NEVER empty and if I got up and walked away with it, trust me, I aint sharing. I can see how this makes me a bit douchy though. :)

  20. I’m convinced you and P just like startin stuff. You know GOOD AND WELL folks was gon have problems with yo definition of “cornball”.

    Must we start with the man in The Mirror?? No. Ask him to change his ways.

  21. 1. Thou shalt boast about the money thou hast spent on thine clothes, cars, alcohol, jewelry, accessories, etc.

    2. Thou shalt boast about thine possessions fully knowing thine parents purchased thine possessions.

    3. Thou shalt boast about thine accomplishemnts fully knowing thine parents pulled strings.

    4. Thou shalt wear sunglasses when there is no sun out and thou aren’t blind.

    • @Voiceofreason,
      4. Thou shalt wear sunglasses when there is no sun out and thou aren’t blind.

      I don’t wanna call blind ppl corny but why in the hell do they need glasses? What do I not understand about blindness that necessitates hater-blockers?

      • @Me fail english?,

        LOL! Stop! I think some blind people wear sunglasses because they may not have control of how their eyes move. It’s to keep people from staring at them. Even if you can’t see, you know when somebody’s looking at you.

        • @Voiceofreason, “Even if you can’t see, you know when somebody’s looking at you.”

          Goodness, that would be creepy.. I couldn’t imagine being able to feel someone staring at me and not being able to ID them

    • @Voiceofreason,

      5. People that regularly update their status on Myspace, Facebook, etc. as if their “friends” care about what they’re doing right at a particular moment.

      6. People who accumulate as many “friends” as possible on a social networking site(outside of business purposes) to appear well known.

      7. People who take as many photographs as possible at clubs and bars and post said photographs on social networking sites to make it appear as if their life is interesting.

      8. People who have tag lines on social netwoking sites such as “I see ya’ll hatin azz bytches starin cuz u kno u cain’t fuch wit me!”

      • @Voiceofreason,

        “5. People that regularly update their status on Myspace, Facebook, etc. as if their “friends” care about what they’re doing right at a particular moment.”

        For me, its not so much the regular updates… it’s that they are stupid!

        “______ is at work.” WTF???? We ALL at work!

        **sigh**

      • @Voiceofreason,

        *muses* yes… People who let the world be privvy to their relationship woes, friendship woes… heck every single second of their day, constantly changing their status. What’s even more irritating is when they use SONG LYRICS in an attempt to seem deep/convey their truest emotions. STOP THAT SH*T. You are NOT that interesting.

        Also, people who randomly friend people that they were never really friends with. Nucca, I ain’t like you a$$ in HS, we weren’t friends in college… don’t get salty when I deny your request on FB.

        Perpetuators of Bourgiebook/ GhettoSpace f*ckery need to DIE.

      • @Voiceofreason,

        5. People that regularly update their status on Myspace, Facebook, etc. as if their “friends” care about what they’re doing right at a particular moment.

        But isn’t that the primary purpose of said social networking sites?

        • @Ms. Sula,

          To a certain degree, but I just don’t think a constant update is necessary. Like that new Twitter thing.

      • @Voiceofreason,

        8. People who have tag lines on social netwoking sites such as “I see ya’ll hatin azz bytches starin cuz u kno u cain’t fuch wit me!”

        i always wonder how long it takes a person to intentionally misspell a sentence like that.

  22. Can I add black people who are overly pretentious, for example…

    1. I met this girl one time and was having what I thought was a decent convo, as I was telling a story I used the term “deebo’d”. She immediately paused and was like “what does that mean?” “is that slang?” “I don’t speak slang, its stupid”….oh ok, YOUR CORNY! (c) Haters ball

    2. As many of you know I’m African, yes its true. So one time I’m at this house party (an African person’s home), and her mom made pounded yam and egusi, i’m guessing earlier in the day for the guest. So the celebrant is passing out plates and bowls, and of course the African people are getting down and choppin that thing well well. So her one friend (who was American) twist up her face all crazy on some “y’all eating with your hands? how nasty”….luckily it wasn’t my house cuz I would have wyled out, buuut YOUR CORNY! (c) Haters ball.

    Now that I think about it only black women seem to engage in this corny type behavior (see what I did there?).

    Read and discuss.

    • @Dorian G.,

      Nice try Dorian. People who start arguments for argument’s sake are corny! LOL!

      “But seriously, #2 is just plain rude and culturally insensitive,” said the American Very Smart Sista. :)

    • @Dorian G.,
      “Now that I think about it only black women seem to engage in this corny type behavior (see what I did there?). ”

      Where should we hold your wake keeping? Lmao

    • @Dorian G.,

      As per #2, people who say rude, out-of-pocket, harsh, mean stuff in the name of “keeping it real”, calling it how they see it, just being honest are just closet bullies. And see-through as hell to boot. We know you’re crying on the inside. And we all feel really bad about it *smirking*

    • @Dorian G., “her one friend (who was American) twist up her face all crazy on some “y’all eating with your hands? how nasty”

      Throat-punch! You should never walk into someone’s house and disrepect their culture.

      • @Leila,

        There it is again. The throat chop/punching.

        @Dorian G.,

        I agree with the others that was simply disrespectful. Not only to your culture but to your friend’s family as well.

    • @Dorian G.,

      Now that I think about it only black women seem to engage in this corny type behavior (see what I did there?).

      Read and discuss.

      ***minigun shots fired***

    • @Dorian G.,

      I hope the behavior in #2 ended your friendship. I can’t be friends with close minded a$$hats… especially since I am also African.

      Culturally insensitive/closeminded= cornhole (corny a$$hole)

      • @blackberry molasses,

        I wasn’t friends with that girl, she was friends with the host. I was just another guest.

    • @N.I.A. fabuloussince1982….,
      This right here…is some ish I can’t stand.
      You shoulda kept your “too cool” azz at the house. Taking up good space on the dance floor.
      *eyeroll*

    • @N.I.A. fabuloussince1982….,

      Thou shall go to the club, and not dance…at all. Don’t even pretend to feel the music, the rhythm, nothing. Just stand around with your boys or your girls thinking you are cooler than what you really are.

      good addition

    • @N.I.A. fabuloussince1982….,

      Same goes for people who go to the comedy club and try hard not to laugh– madd tight in the face…

    • @N.I.A. fabuloussince1982….,

      I don’t frequent clubs because I’m don’t like the atmosphere so if I’m there, it’s moreso just supporting a friend who’s throwing the party. And I can ‘shoulder lean’, I’ont know how to dance tho’ is my motto. I bop to the music if I’m feeling it, but other than that, not much dancing. I will patronize the bar though. Is that corny?

      • @Monk,

        Well, since you don’t seem to be the type to just take up space on the dance floor just looking at everyone else, and you do “bop” if you can feel music, plus you like to post up at the bar, my gut tells me no, you are not corny for doing what you’re doing.

        However, if I see you step your body on the dance floor, just standing in the way bopping and leaning, I will give you the “look at that corny muthaphuka not dancing and just leaning” side-eye. I’m sorry, but it’s an involuntary reaction to people, especially men, who stand around rather than participate.

  23. Damn, the gold chain?! I wear a small figuero with sentimental value. You can’t even see it unless I take my shirt off.

    I’m gonna co-sign the ‘tags’ on social sites. Ugh.

      • @Clarkey,
        tag as in instead of your name on myspace you have some thing like “www.haterproof.com” or “Ms. I see all you hater with xray vision eyeing me with a surgeon’s percision”, etc. Any other non-sense.

        • @BlkBond,

          oh ok….yea thats a taste on the cornball side. Very high school girlish.

          “Ms. I see all you hater with xray vision eyeing me with a surgeon’s percision” LOL!!

          -Why do people think someone is always hatin? Is this a trend? I’m perplexed.

          • @Clarkey,

            “Why do people think someone is always hatin? ”

            I agree, that probably should be added to the list.

            When I hear people say that I always think, sometimes people aren’t hatin’…they just not payin’ any attention or care, lol.

  24. 1) thou shalt not wear a tight shirt, wife beater, or no shirt at all in the club because you work out. (especially wearing a wife beater in the dead of winter)

    2) thou shalt not wear Dickies pants with Gucci shoes

    3) thou shalt not model just because your @ss is big

    4) thou shalt not say your waves are natural when you have a tub of Duke at the crib

    5) thou shall not wear an afro, dreadloks, wood bracelets, beads etc. like you are afrocentric when you are not.

    6) thou shall not try to look cool at the expense of other people

    7) thou shalt not put 24″ rims on a lifted and rusted early 80′s GM coupe.

    8) thou shall not look to T.I., Jeezy, Gucci Mane, or any one with the first name Young for your swag.

    9) thou shall not act educated or enlightened just because you have a degree

    10) thou shall not have women act bourgeoisie just because they have to dress professional to work. (you make $10.00/hr play your position)

      • @Nikiloveli,

        I was thinking the same. Not everyone with a degree is smart, but educated, they are.

    • @Humble_One,

      10) thou shall not have women act bourgeoisie just because they have to dress professional to work. (you make $10.00/hr play your position)

      On another note…is this why the chicks at Victoria’s Secret be acting all stank? I worked in entertainment for a few years so I always came in casual (read: looking a hot, crispy mess). I’d shop there on my lunch breaks and some of the “suits” would get all high-handed with me. Bish! I make your salary in my summer bonus!

      • @Me fail english?

        ” I always came in casual (read: looking a hot, crispy mess).”

        Okay this made me chuckle…..hard.

      • @Me fail english?,

        “On another note…is this why the chicks at Victoria’s Secret be acting all stank? ”

        Naw, they just stank and most likely unhappy with their lives. Retail is hard work.

  25. LOL this was a very coontastic post. good job, Champ.

    wish i had more time to read the comments but i have business to tend to. good day lovely ppl :)

  26. I thought of two more…
    –People that stand in the bathroom mirror and use their camera phones to take pics and actually post them or send them.

    –People that use their camera phones to take pics of their privates. I swear I got a phone full of dix flixs and it’s sort of nasty if you really think about it.

  27. it’s actually

    “intents and purposes”
    and not
    “intensive purposes”

    … think about it ;)

    Don’t worry… I’ve made the mistake before as well!
