Old School Friday - Prince!

By Kevin ⋅ October 10, 2008 ⋅ 5 comments

It’s Old School Friday! Finally! After a long, hectic work week, I’m looking forward to just sitting back and kickin’ it with some Old School Jams. This week’s theme is Prince. Now, y’all should know I love me some Prince, but I’m a little mad at him because of his beef with You Tube and [...]

This pepper shaker is so 16-year old boy with a cheesy mustache

By Kevin ⋅ October 10, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

Got wind of this video from Renee and Bint, and I’m sharing because it’s on point.
Quotation of the day: “This pepper shaker is so 16-year old boy with a cheesy mustache.” Wanda Sykes is bringing it, y’all!
Might I add that the same principle applies to “that’s retarded” and “that’s lame.”
Yes, words matter.

Blackface in Kansas

Just in case you thought the Blackface Files had gone the way of the Dodo, you should check out Kevin Myles at The Wichita NAACP Blog, where he documents a case of a City Mayor, yeah that’s right, a City Mayor, who finds humor in Blackface.

Kevin handles his business well, though, and [...]

You know you want to sing this song in front of a bar full of strangers!
Ok, I admit it. I’ve [...]

New Comedy Vlog: This Week in Blackness

By Kevin ⋅ September 22, 2008 ⋅ One comment

You really need to check this out. It’s a new Vlog comedy series by the founder of the The Black Comedy Experiment, Elon James White.
Now, personally, I think the poll that he’s talking about is absolute political scare-mongering bullshit and should be ignored, but he hits on a lot of truths AND he’s funny. [...]

Old School Friday: Road Trip Songs.

By Kevin ⋅ September 19, 2008 ⋅ 5 comments

It’s Friday and time for some old school! This weeks theme is Road Trip Songs. Back when the GF still lived in Denver and I was here in Ithaca, I was road tripping all the time, and yet, I had a hard time thinking of that quintessential road trip song for me. Fortunately for me, [...]
