Where’s The Action?.

Yesterday,  I briefly mentioned that many new children will be borneded in Pittsburgh because of the recent victory of the hometown Steelers.  Though I was being a weebit facetious, there just may be some truth to those words.  That idea got me to thinking:  exactly what ARE some events that may have lead to an increase in the birth rate in this here fine nation of ours?  I mean, we all know that upon finding out some good news or being apart of some good news tends to make people randy, right?  That’s true, right?  Right?

Sporting events get people’s blood boiled and emotions rise, but do they pass muster in the grand scheme?  Let’s see.

Here are five eventst that I think helped spread the love:

5)  Woodstock

Isn’t mud just, euphoric?  On the real though, at a music festival intended to promote the ideals of s.ex, love, and rock & roll, you know folks were spreading 2 out of 3.  Add a little PCP to the mix and the risky activities probably peaked in the middle of day 2.  Every picture I’ve seen indicates that women AND men were giving up the lovin’ at rates unbefore known to man.  And yes that counts as scientific evidence towards the fact that I’m right.

4)  Million Man March

Though billed as a day of responsibility for Black men across the nation, my guess is that women everywhere were excited at the masses of Black men who seemed to care so much about the progress of the Black community.  And you know what happens when Black women start thinking about responsible Black men.  Yep:  lovin.  As in McLovin.  Oh yeah.  One million Black men too?  You know the draws were being tossed at the TV screen from Idaho to Maine so when the man returned home, well, needless to say, I’ll bet they played apart in their own million man march…if you catch my drift.

3)  Boston Red Sox 2004 World Series victory

This one probably didn’t really boost the Black love rate but you can’t tell me New Englander weren’t running around on major hump duty after the BoSox won in 2004.  I’ll bet lots of “home runs” were hit that night!  Heh heh heh.  Okay, that was a bad joke but I’m exhausted right now.  Sue me.

2) Dr. King’s March On Washington

Civil Rights?  Check.  Lots of people?  Check.  Way back in the 60s Dr. King and his organizers put together the March on Washington and I’ll bet lots of marching was taking place behind the scenes.  With all of that good vibration and feeling going on in and around Washington because of this event, you know the lots of legal briefs were filed.  Throw in the “down for the cause” ness of the March and hormones and love were at all an all time hight.  My theory is that this did more for interracial mixing than any other time in history but I have no data to back that up.  So we’ll just assume its true because I’m sexxy.

1)  Election Night/Inauguration Weekend for President Barack Obama

This one is so easy its almost illegal for me to type it.  But have you any idea how much lovin’ was happening because of the good mood and feelings that people were having because of these events?  It’s like everybody was in a constant drugged state of being leading to lots of bad decisions, in the name of all that is right.  I’ll bet that around September or October of this coming year, lots of little Inauguration Conceptions will become Stimulus Babies.  That’s a little budget nerd humor for you. Viva la Obama – now gimme dat ….

***

So VSB.com, what are some other events that you think might have led to more lovin’ just due to the sheer excitement or good times of the event?  Basically, why were people so happy to jump in the sack??

Where is the love, people?  Where is the love?

  1. 9/11

    People got thinking about mortality and shyt. Thinking about dying makes people want to live. Makes them want a part of them to live on. How do they do that? CHEX!! Not the cereal!

      • @Hostess,

        The first day of Katrina when folks assumed help was on the way. Some figured they’d waste some time and sperm until help arrived.

        i doubt that. too much dysentery and swamp juice going around for good gotdamn

    • @Hostess,

      Yup…your right on this one…my next door neighbours at the time were getting it in mid afternoon like the next plane was headed for our block….

      mind you, we live in baltimore city…

  2. I can’t reply to a comment on my phone for some reason :-( so lol@hostess and ‘not the cereal’ chex.

    anywho…since it all started with sports im’ma take it to my game– bball– and say the finals last year, boston over l.a.

    ’tis all for now.

  3. Absolutely…I am thinking November 4 was THE day.

    In fact, can somebody check Mrs. Obama…? I might be waiting on a brand new baby to grace 1600 Pennsylvania..that would be great so ok..other times that people have just been overwhelmingly lusciously lustful?

    I’m going to go with Fourth of July Weekend New Orleans, LA the past 15 years…Sans Houston…let’s weigh this…hot sticky bodies, little clothing, lots of liquor.

    Here’s another one…all the people in the Midwest and Northeast suffering through bad winter weather? Yep…I’m seeing Thanksgiving babies.

    2006 brought a high rate of births for the Bayou…that’s right I just survived the most catastrophic natural event ever(Hurricane Katrina). Excuse me while I get it in.

    • @Jac,

      In fact, can somebody check Mrs. Obama…? I might be waiting on a brand new baby to grace 1600 Pennsylvania..that would be great so ok..other times that people have just been overwhelmingly lusciously lustful?

      according to the rumor mill, this may be happening sometime this year

    • @Jac,

      chex was the furthest thing from my mind when we were on the run. maybe that’s cause my SO was running in the opposite direction with his fam at the time…

  4. An event that leads to lovin’? The Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual sale and the launch of the new Jessica lace boyshorts at Frederick’s of Hollywood. If you buy $40 worth of merchandise you get a free pair. There’s a coupon on the internet. Lingerie events make me randy. So does alcohol and…eh, nevermind.

  5. i think maybe the turn of the millennium… a lot of folk thought the world was coming to an end, so they probably tried to get as much in as possible before it did. and instead ended up with a bunch of ’00 babies. more generally, any new year’s eve celebration results in a lot of chex, hence the large amount of people born towards the end of august/beginning of september.

    • @puff,

      i think maybe the turn of the millennium… a lot of folk thought the world was coming to an end, so they probably tried to get as much in as possible before it di

      i think busta rhymes and his various concubines were the only ones affected by this

  6. “The Great Snow of 199?” in Durham, NC. My freshman year of college we got snowed in. No getting off campus for about 3/4 days, I am sure there were a few girls that did not return the next semester…

    • @Naturally Alise, Yo that was actually true. The blizzards of what…? ’96 and ’93 in DC and the baby rates exploded in september. there were articles on it and stuff. Nothing like being locked up safe and warm with snow outside to make you think of raising the heat sommo. Shoot its snowing now. Probably a whole bunch of Libras on the way

  7. The World Cup easily has to be a baby bump. People from all over the world descend on a single place for about 14 days. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!

    The Olympics too!

  8. I know natural disasters make it do what it do… The icestorm of 92 gave me several lil cousins and the straight line winds that hit the m-town in 06 boosted the population as well

  9. How about that blackout in 2003 that took out most of the east coast?

    No lights or a/c, just some candles and a charged up iPod…

    • @Maximillian, that black out may have been the most fun I had ever in life. After the all day hood long BBQ (you had to cook all the food in your fridge, and most ppl had electric stoves) and some good games of manhunt, I found out that my gf’s mom was stuck at work (cuz she was a nurse)……

      • @From Da Hip Peyso,

        that was mad fun. me and all my neighbors chilled in front of my building all night… and ate all night, cuz everyone was cooking on their stovetops (we had gas ones…)

    • @Maximillian,

      yeah…the blackout was number one on my list when i first read the entry.

      i actually took a flight (one of like only 50 in the air that night) to new york that friday just for some gotdamn. i guess “gotdamn” means that you can turn into a gotdamn fool in pursuit of it

  10. I co-sign on all Obama related three point stance dances! I haven’t gotten any POTUS pole yet, but I’m hoping to soon…(loking around to see if he caught that) I even bought some special gold “skywalkers”** for such occasions and have yet to get my body (ba)rack’d…anybody got some frequent flyer miles I can borrow? Anyway, my list is of annual events that have increased child support cases all over the country!!!

    I got 3 words for ya’ll… KAPPA BEACH PARTY! All my old arse TX folks can feel me on this one…it happens in April around Easter time and I have gotta tell ya, the GOGGLES be in full effect! When I was going to U of H, “The KAPPA” had many a chick not returning for the Fall semester due to being due!!!

    I will also humbly submit the Essence Festival..all that soul and positive Blackness…grown folks and soul music…summer sun (and heat) and all those cocoa colored skin tones in one place! not to mention it’s in New Orleans!! there is something about that city that makes rational muhfugguhs lose their everyloving minds…but what can one expect from a city that sells hard liquor at the gas station and a disposable camera is 18 bux, but a vodoo doll is 99 cents! the N.O. is the Southwest Las Vegas…what happens there, stays there! that being said…gwon and add Bayou Classic and Mardi Gras…

    **skywalkers – secksay arse shoes that look real GOOD in the air!!

    • @GOODENess,
      I’ma do ya one better Goody Two Shoes.
      The Texas Relays…you already know!
      I hate that I never got to make it to Kappa in the good ol’ days…lol

          • @miss t-lee AND AJ…
            I have never been to the KAPPA myself…I was dating my future ex-husband at the time and he wasn’t having it…plus, something about that weekend made our whole campus smell like B’DUSSY..NO THANKS!

      • @miss t-lee,

        Hellz.to.the.yes! I never made it to the beach, usually the party started on the parking lot that was 45 after Kemah. Fun times!

        But uh, them relays? That’s why I love Austin till this day!

        • @Nikiloveli,
          I’m still debating if this will be my last relays or not, but when it’s in your backyard, it’s hard not to go…lol

    • Well, there are CLEARLY some other 3rd Coast people on this thread. While the Texas Relays, Essence & The Kappa are defnitely events to induce libidos…that doesn’t make them special. That could be ANY party, at ANY club, on ANY weekend. If you put 100+ of “us” in a room w/ a dj, and a bartender — things are going to happen (besides sweaty dance funk…?!)

      I think what Panama is getting at here is the “memorable” moments in history that may have resulted in considerable boosts in infant mortality.

      Given the nature of the question and for the event(s) to be a one-time only or rare experience — my answer would have be…undisputedly…concert tours by either Maxwell or Sade. Any fella or lady getting w/ a significant or date getting dressed to go to one of these events, generally doing in he hopes or with the intent that at the end of the night, there WILL be some boot knockin’. The collective musical repertoires of these artists ALONE is enough to make you flash back to the first time you put one of their jamz on a custom mix tape or CD for someone you were trying to seduce.

      Moreover, they only tour every 5-8 years…so when the opportunity comes along, you just HOPE that you have someone in your life to capitalize on the moment.

      Hmm, I wonder what that statistics on these concert babies would be…?

    • @GOODENess,

      i have a vhs tape of some, ummm “adult” scenes from the kappa beach party in like ’01. i have no idea why i’m sharing this info, btw

  11. a lot of my people i know born during the 70′s were conceived during the euphoria of african nations gaining their independence -all those independence celebration bashes -

    and some of them were even NAMED after said countries, or their leaders… i know lots of Samora’s (first leader of an independent Mozambique, Samora Machel), a Bissau – named after a newly free Guinea Bissau…loads of Kenyatta’s (curiously, though – only met Kenyatta’s in the U.S., never in Africa)…

    • @superwoman,

      This I can definitely identify with! There seem to be a lot of Kwame’s as well from that period!

  12. I can’t speak for anyone else, but for me…

    Funerals, inclement weather and INCREDIBLE concert experiences.

    Don’t ask. You VSB smarty pants know what it is.

  13. 1. We jut had a snowstorm last week that too the city down and in September (I think), we had a windstorm that had us out of commission.

    2. When Janet Jackson came out with “Anytime, Anyplace.”

    3. The Derby, which takes place in Louisville, Kentucky.

    • @Nicki Sunshine, (clears throat)

      #1. Definitely one reason snow is so great.

      #2. YES. i was not practicing procreational tactics at that time but i seriously contemplated.

    • @Nicki Sunshine,

      3. The Derby, which takes place in Louisville, Kentucky.

      lol…this description made me laugh for some reason. as you all probably know by now, its not very difficult to get me to laugh

  14. On a personal note, being that I was born on November 16th, I’ve always been inclined to believe that I was conceived on Valentines Day. My parents can’t say for sure, but hearing my mother’s response when I asked her, I’d say it is so.

    Other historical events that helped in boosting the population I would say are:

    *Freak-nik ’93 – ’96 just because. People tend to be extra freaky when they attend events with “freak” in the title.

    *The theatrical release of any uber-lovey dovey movies such as “Titanic” or “Love Jones”. There were plenty box office smashes on those weekends.

    *Speaking of releases (heh heh), I’d say the release of R.Kelly’s “12 Play” and Jodeci’s “Forever My Lady”.

    *CRACK – When crack hit the streets in the 80′s, a whole generation of crack babies soon followed.

    • @Monk, “*CRACK – When crack hit the streets in the 80’s, a whole generation of crack babies soon followed.”

      not to intellectualize it, but i dont think it was love that brought the crack babies, but the rampant prostitution for the crack that brought on the babies.

    • @Monk,

      oooh i was thinking along those lines. Both me and my brother, not to mention 2 of my friends are late august babies. I was thinking Xmas lovin was the thing in the early eighties.

    • @Monk, you had me at FreakNik…you made me “sniggle” with “box office smashes”…then you go and get all socio-political on me with CRACK?? you know I’m sitting in the corner, biting my bottom lip, legs crossed from over-stimulation right??? lm(red)ao

    • @Monk,

      *CRACK – When crack hit the streets in the 80’s, a whole generation of crack babies soon followed.

      this is an elephant in the room when discussing education nowadays: the fact that there are thousands of teenage crack babies in the classrooms now, with tons of emotional and mental issues. also, since this is a relatively new phenomenon, noone knows how to treat em.

      i will now go cry in my deer park natural spring water

  15. 2 things that come to mind

    a state of horniness (I dont really need a reason. I often wonder about people that do. I wanna phuc just cause someone said something about phuc’n)

    returning from war (based on what I know about history)

  16. 1. The release of 12 Play, R., Tp-2.com, and Urban Hang Suite.

    2. Blizzards

    I’m living in Pittsburgh now; I hope this Steeler victory brings me some good fortune. *sigh*

      • @pgh muse,

        Yo00…that scene in Love Jones???? I wasn’t even really feelin that song until Darius and Nina made it come alive!! Whew…

    • @Voiceofreason,

      I’m living in Pittsburgh now; I hope this Steeler victory brings me some good fortune. *sigh*

      if you were on the corner of fifth and smithfield at approximately 12pm, there were maybe 50,000 people within a 3 block radius who could have helped your fortune and sh*t

      • @The Champ,

        Um yeah. I saw all that from my window at work. I’m kinda selective. I doubt anyone in that crowd would suffice.

  17. If your school has a senior week, every single senior has all the sex with all the seniors that they always wanted to but didnt. If you were smart like me and my squad you stuck around and took advantage…

    2) Penn Relays – All those track bodies, runnin and stuff and then the step show, leads to da bizness

    3) Any greek picnic – Greeks just dont know how to act

    • @From Da Hip Peyso, “If your school has a senior week, every single senior has all the sex with all the seniors that they always wanted to but didnt. If you were smart like me and my squad you stuck around and took advantage…”

      so true…there was so much debauchery during Senior Week ’04 in Atlanta, it was crazy. Not sure if any babies came out of it, though…

      • @Ivy St., they still are. If you actually venture a bit to the west of campus, you might run into the Pretty Nasty Punch Owt (a battle between all the frats to see who has the best punch)

    • @From Da Hip Peyso,

      did you and i go to the same school?? i swear… however, i abstained and just heard the nasty stories of what went down…

    • @WuDaMan,
      Thats weird to me that an inaguration would make people wanna bang. Banging for banging’s sake is one thing but political events making people horny? Thats just weird to me. Then I think people may have been banging just cause there was a party atmosphere and alot of strange running around and extended bar hours. It just happened to be Inaguration Day (or weekend depending on your POV).

  18. at WuDaMan… COSIGN on the swearing in sweating out! I ALMOST had me some Inauguration penetration, but the airfare was higher than my credit score! *biting bottom lip w/ my hand on my hip*
    I’m trying save my New Year’s Virginity (NYV**) for some special addition presidential pole but I’m running out of lubricant & batteries!

    **NYV the first “gotdam” of the year!

    (looking at the Champ…I know you have missed sending me to the corner, so that one was for u & sh1t…lm(red)ao!)

  19. -Winter time. Nothing like heimal climates to make people want to stay in and knock boots.
    -Superbowl Sunday in Pittsburgh 2009 – BIG co-sign!
    -Summertime in general… thin dresses. Men all sweaty outside cutting grass and stuff. Nothing like seeing a black man at work in the heat.
    -New years Eve. I’m a September baby and I know that NYE and New Years celebrations are the jumpoff for the conception of many many many Virgos of the world.
    -Say Yes by Floetry…

  20. This was funny! I think that a lot of us 70′s babies were made from the ambiance of that period. Something about wood paneling, burning incence, weed smoke, scratchy records, Afro Sheen, the scent from the oil dripping down those fly hanging lamps with the grecian godess in the middle (remember those?). Not to mention the cheap ass wine like pink champelle. Plus all the men wanted to be Isaac Hayes-ish and all the women wanted to be Pam Grier-ish. LOL.

    I have to admit that all my kids were WEATHER RELATED. “Too hot” stay inside naked under the air. ” Snowed in” and ran out of movies to watch.

    • @Yaa, LMAO!!!

      your kids are weather related?!?!?! bwahahahaha! :-D do you plan to tell them that when they’re older?

      • @ladyb,

        your kids are weather related?!?!?! bwahahahaha! :-D do you plan to tell them that when they’re older?

        lol…i can’t imagine that convo. how do you tell your kids that their daddy was a cumulus stratus cloud?

  21. Maxwell’s 2008 Concert Tour…every night after every show. Any HBCU Homecoming weekend…ppl start looking real good after undergrad!

    • @Jeandra,

      I prally will be. Extended V-Day weekend, cus I’s a gubment employee… we aint got to go to work on that day.

      And I’ll actually be happy to celebrate President’s Day this year because of our new POTUS.

      • @blackberry molasses,

        I can’t think of a more excellent recent to shag.
        Well actually, there’s not really a bad time, but in honor of our POTUS, we should put our best effort forward and knock it out. Oh and as a government employee i’ll be off that Friday and Monday.

  22. I think the whole world is going to do it when the Cubs finally win one. Then world peace and no more poverty and hunger and jim jones will learn the error of his ways people stop getting sick and errthang.

  23. I haven’t read everyone’s comments yet, but I 100% sure that my VSB fam forgot to mention the one event that causes people to shag and that’s . . .

    Yes folks, when the phenomenon that is I enters a room the ladies seem get moist in their inner thigh region, thus causing them to become hot and bothered. These damp damsels usually focus their s3xual tension to some lucky gent after learning that I’m taken and nothing could ever come of us.

    Some say it’s just my essence, others say it’s my mojo but like number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, “the world will never know”!

  24. ya’ll know I’m on my phone commenting so I can’t reply to replies…but I getting internet in the corner for tax-mas!

    …get back to my mission break out the whipped cream and the cherries and then I go through all the fly positons…wait! dang…I was finna type about sumn but got distracted by sumn shiny, u know I ain’t the only one it happens too!

    anyway…for those that will be getting it in on Singles Awareness Day (2/14), please make a 3 point stance…ummmm…I mean 3 day weekend…cuz the GOODENess will be celebrating my ANNUAL UTERINE EMANCIPATION on 2/16 which is also President’s Day! *eyes closed, hand to the sky, HUMMING hail To The (muhfuggin) Chief* MMMMM…PRE-SI-DENT! there is something about that “P” that makes my “P” word want some “P” word….anyway…get it in on the 16th for the holiday and strap on some B(EARTH)DAY GOGGLES in GOODY’S honor!! Thundercats! Thundercats! Thundercats! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  25. Sidenote:

    For all the people who will be naming their new bebes after Barack, I am going to give the meaning of the name.

    The meaning of Barack (male):
    From the Hebrew meaning flash of light, the name can be found in the Bible, Judges 4:6

    and Brakah (female):
    From the Hebrew meaning “blessing”.

    Just put that out there, I think it’s important to know what the meaning of a name is before you name your child.

    Arabic and Hebrew are closely related so I am sure that if you looked up the name in Arabic you would find it along with the same meaning.

    Forward this to all parents of bebes conceived election night/inauguration weekend!
