Bob Pruett coach of the Marshall Thundering Herd referred to the Ohio State Buckeyes as a bunch of Mandingos. As you can imagine the press and some black community leaders went up in arms about this. My take: it’s a compliment, the Mandingo tribes were know for their strength, their size, and their physical prowess. Should he have used the term? Probably not but that’s more related to political correctness than whether or not blacks should be offended. I don’t think he meant the term in any negative way. I think he truly thought he was giving the Bucks credit. Hell, when I’m boosting my own ego I refer to myself as a Mandingo Warrior….I mean, c’mon, I know there is still a racial struggle going on but everything needs to be taken in context. When Paul Hornung made his comments this past year about lowering academic standards for black athletes, that’s offensive. But using a term that is not even full slang, a term that refers to an actual historical fact, that my faithful (or at least kinda faithful) readers is not offensive.

Everybody got their somethin….. -Nikka Costa

I’m just not sure what my somethin’ is yet…..

With the third pick in the Race Draft, the Asian delegates select the Rza, the Gza, Inspectah Deck, the Wu-tang Clan….Fonichiwa Bitches! -Dave Chappell

Dat boy funny!

It never fails…at some point in the middle of the afternoon, I get ridiculously sleepy. This would normally be the time I would get up and go have some idle chitchat with a coworker…..but now there’s no one in the office for me to go idly chitchattin’ to. So alone…did you ever know that you’re my hero…

So at the Madden tournament last night, I lose in the first round 9 - 6. They only let you play for 30 minutes which is not nearly enough time to finish a whole game plus the cat I was playing started doing cheesy shit by suddenly taking forever to pick his friggin play after he got the lead….But on a good note, I did win the FlickBall (paper football) tournament walking away 20 bucks and a t-shirt and auto qualification in the bar finals. If I win that, then it’s on to the regionals and then the nationals with a $10,000 champ prize….

‘Sup biotches!!? Sorry, don’t know where that came from. Anyway, I thought I’d drop a favorite Jay-Z quote….”Got mixed feelings like a mulatto”

Heehee, I’m gonna have a bunch of mulattoes runnin around the house one day (God willing) and I’m gonna call them mulatto 1, mulatto 2, etc….

I’m going to a Madden tournament tonite…not sure what to expect…see my problem is I rarely play humans in video games so I learn to play the computer but when I play against a human I have to learn to adjust for the unexpected…or in some cases with the cheesers….the same play over and over and over and over and over and over ….sorry my fingers got in a rhythm and the keyboard was enjoying that…

I’m going to Winston next week and I’m actually looking forward to it…I still feel kind of like a visitor in Atlanta because I was gone so long and now I have to reestablish my footing here…at least in Winston I WAS a visitor so feeling like one didn’t feel weird. I do miss the money of contract work though!!!

How about them Skins? Their defense is lookin hella tight…wow did I just say ‘hella’, aw fuck it I’ll be 30 soon, time to let that slang thing go…

Been cursin alot lately…feels like the only way to truly expree meself…I only have 12 more days of smoking before it’s bippety boppety bye to the nicotine….gonna be real weird….put your two legs up then put your booty on the floor if you think I can do this….

FUCK SHAQUILLE O’NEAL

Now he’s just being childish. Let shit go. Grow the fuck up. Stop rapping dumbass. The reason for my angst is here. What a tool…..
