Jermaine Dupri is SO wack...

"How wack is he?!"

Jermaine Dupri is so wack he writes diss tracks about himself.

And they really aren't very good.



50 Cent got his own Vitamin Water, Jermaine Dupri is so wack he got his own toilet bowl cleaner at the 99 cent store.

(laughing at own joke while holding hand over mouth all like "..kish.. ..kish.. ....kish....!)

Man, Jermaine Dupri so wack ya'll.  SO wack.

Man, Aries Spiers is here!  I see you big homie!  Aries used to do a Jermaine Dupri impression, but had to stop 'cause nobody ever heard of Jermaine Dupri!

To be fair, Aries just like Tracy Morgan if anyone ever thought Aries Spears was hilarious!

Sheeyit!

(..kish.. ..kish.. ....kish....!)

Yo dog!  I'm just playin' man!

Shee-yit.  Anyway...

From the joke notebook of Happy Days Comedian, Roger Webber:

My world got turned upside down when I realized that Leather and Pinky Tuscadero were sisters, and not two unrelated women that Fonzie was bedding in the garage.  Leather, the younger sister, was just being looked out for by the Fonz.  Yeah right!  You know how us guys are!

I would have figured that noted playboy Fonzie would have had no qualms about getting it on with both of them.  I remember moments when he'd walk into Al's arm in arm with twin sisters.  What was his problem with taking a spin on both Tuscadero's?

Leather must have been a...LEZ-BEE-FRIENDS!

Things sure were weird back in the 50's.

But seriously folks, can you imagine Fonzie trying to turn on an iPod by punching it?!  Am I right?!

This morning I was eating Rosemary & Olive Oil Triscuits in the car on the way to work.  Fumbling with the box, I dropped one into the plastic tumbler of Pabst I had in the cup holder and thought to myself,

"Jesus.  What kind of scumbag eats Triscuits for breakfast?"

So I had my ladyfriend pull into McDonald's for value meals I bought with a debit card.

That's when "Paradise City" came on the fm radio.

1.  Nothing says, "I'm a mediocre performer" like the name, "John Legend".

2.  If you say you signed up to be a cop so you could "help people", chances are you're Ethan Hawke's character in "Training Day".

3.  Viacom Dios

4.  Straight on gay sex is the new macho thing to do.  I read it in Men's Health.

5.  Thing I saw:  A giant white Hummer crashing into the tail end of the line for a Taco Bell drive-thru, causing a train wreck style crash as I was leaving the front end with a bag of my evil 1:30am goodies.  I saw several drunkards fleeing their automobiles.  Why Charles Shultz never put that description in a "Happiness is..." book, I don't know.

6.  You know those "designer impostors" colognes?  CVS carries one that says, "If you like Drakkar Noir, then you'll love "New York Nights".

I think if you like Drakkar Noir, then you shouldn't be allowed to wear cologne.

7.  I only smoke when I drink now.  All  day long.

If you're a broke scumbag like me, you've come to rely on the McDonald's $1 double cheeseburger for sustenance when in a pinch like being down to nickels, dimes, and pennies.

Well, those days are done. Welcome to the era of the "McDouble".

The $1 DC has been replaced by a similar version with ONE slice of cheese, a smaller bun and patties, with ketchup and onion only.

If your pockets are swollen, think how mad you'd be if you just lost $200,000 in the stock market and you'll get an idea of the steering wheel slugging it took to work that venom out of my brain when I discovered McDonald's horrible decision whilst in the drive-thru.

And in these troubled times? Around the holidays?!

Shaaaame on YOU McDonald's. Drug dealer, I say. DRUG DEALER!


Kudos to Burger King for stepping up and offering their FAR FUCKING SUPERIOR double cheeseburger for just $1. She's half your age and twice as hot McDonald's. Have a nice life!

The only time women have called their husband their "hubby" past 1982 is when they're not real women.  The sure sign that there isn't actually a woman on the other end of a spam sex email or craigslist personal ad is something to the effect of, "My hubby says my ass is getting too big and won't want to fuck me for now but maybe you'd like to play while hubby is out of town on business?"


Obviously written by someone who would want to come across such an offer, but who knows that it will never come true because they're the ones pulling the levers at Oz.  Sad in a way.

I saw a user film review on Netflix today and the "woman" referenced her "hubby".  I couldn't help but think it was an overweight, furry Armenian credit card porn scam artist who had become stuck in his online character even when not on the clock as a swindler.

 The word "hubby" makes me kind of ill.  Like the thought of eating a warm tuna sandwich inside an adult bookstore.

What's in my queue?  Go ahead and judge me Silverlake.  I know that the sample in "Paper Planes" is from The Clash's "Straight To Hell", I haven't showered for two days, and my Vans are dirty.  I'm making an effort.  Don't give me that look because I haven't seen a few key films but secretly I'm looking forward to my 86th viewing of The Last Boy Scout more than anything else.  Except for the first one, it's the best Die Hard movie. 

1. Casino Royale

2. Hard Eight

3. Basquiat

4. Sid & Nancy

5. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels

6. Leatherheads

7. Better Off Dead

8. The Last Boy Scout

9. Tango & Cash

10. Barfly (unknown availability)


Go Stallions!

See Sopranos?  People DO appreciate it when you put a nice bow on on a gift you took the time to carefully wrap yourself.  Especially when it's a going away present.

No one wants, "Here.  I just left it in the bag I bought it in.  Figure it out on your own.  I don't know if you'll like it.  And there's no gift receipt.  Fart."

When I was 15 years old, there was a 3-4 month time period when I listened to this song around 10x per day:



We thought it was "local midwestern rap". The cassingle purchased from a local records and tapes spot had minimal packaging rivaling the capabilities of a ditto machine.

Without internet and the like, we had no idea that people enjoyed MC Breed on hip-hop radio shows across the country. And with no cable, we (my Starter jacket, Girbaud, and Air Jordan clad brethren) had no idea that it was played on BET.

Then, two albums later, this song was released as a single, complete with an appearance by Flint Alumnus, Andre Rison, soon to have his house burned down by Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and Falcons star. It features my favorite 2Pac verse of all time (as I believe I've mentioned previously in one of these self indulgent rants down hip-hop memory lane).



It was back when things were good, when a 2Pac could wave a pistol all around in a video like some maniac and not have a blurb placed over it. And an MC Breed could openly consume malt liquor in the same video without the upper office having production smudge it out.

A 2Pac who would later be killed by a gun, and an MC Breed who would essentially pass away from kidney failure, today, at age 36.

Most of my nostalgic worldly possessions have been long since liquidated, but one thing that remains is the cassingle for "Ain't No Future In Your Frontin'", now jacketless and cracked, having been mailed to me from one of my highschool pals a month ago.

I stole that tape from a neighborhood hussy named Marcy. Our original copy had been "played out". They were hard to come by, and because I knew she stole it from another knucklehead, I thought it was the right thing to do. After all, she borrowed my CB windbreaker from American Eagle and never gave it back. I'm a man of justice.

Via con Dios MC Breed. Ain't no frontin' where you're going my friend.

1.  Never use a sick day when you're actually sick.  Save it for doing something like riding rollercoasters where you actually get up earlier so you can get McDonald's breakfast on the way.  Just go to work.  You'd be miserable there anyway.

2.  You can learn alot about women by listening to the way Nancy Wilson plays guitar.

3.  Either wear cheap or nice sunglasses.  Nothing in between.

3.  Numbers are all relative, so don't worry about them.  Math sucks.

4.  People who say, "math sucks" probably can barely balance a check book and are basically "number illiterate".

5.  Never wear a brand new leather jacket.  You come off like a mid-life crises dad or Tom Cruise.  Neither are a good look.

6.  You don't ever have to pretend to like some band because respected critics hold them in high regard.

7.  Two wrongs never make a right when you wear baggy cargo pants from college with flip flops.

8. Hungover sex in the morning is always better than drunk fucking at night.

9. Don't eat the whole thing.  Save half for around 4pm when you're hungry again.

10. Only Red Auerback and Clint Eastwood have ever looked cool smoking a a cigar.  And you're not them because they're both dead.

11.  Clint Eastwood isn't dead.

12.  If you're not gonna get popcorn or nachos at the movies, why even go?

13.  If you don't get butter on your popcorn, you're just wasting everyone's time here.

14.  It doesn't make you look "refined" to say a movie wasn't any good, just because it was "fun" and not "smart".  You're boring.

15.  The Fonz could beat up Rocky.  He has magic powers.

16.  Watching a movie on TNT and flipping during the commercials is better than putting in a DVD.

17.  Having matching glassware is overated.  I'm never sure if I spell "overated" correctly.

18.  If you look like you work out regularly at a gym, it probably only looks good to other people who work out at a gym regularly.

19. Guy Fieri seems like he'd be a good dude you could hang out with.  Emeril seemed like kind of a fake cocksucker.

20. Put chips on your sandwich.
