Hey remember saying this as a kid?..beans,beans good for your heart,the more you eat the more you fart the more you fart the better you feel,so eat them beans for every meal!
Yep. And also "10 little Indians, sleeping in the bed when the little one said 'roll over, roll over'... So they all rolled over and one fell out..." Of course this continued until the last little Indian was in bed alone and said he was lonely.
Oh yeah, sure. We did everything. We even use to make our own sling shots by taking a wire hanger, bending it and molding it into a "U" and a handle. We cut up a pair of old sneakers and use the material to hold the rocks and rubberbands tied together to give it it's "sling" LOL!
I remember that one too. Here's one we use to say "Your left, your left, your left, right, left. My back is aching my shoes too tight my booty shaking for left to right, your' left, your left, your left, right, left!" LOL!
Don't even get me started on playing "Bullsh*t" under the street lights in the summer. LOL! You know "the Prince of Wales was walking down the street and step in a pile of bullsh*t, who sh*t...etc,etc,etc" LOL!
Well, since you brought up standing under street lights, every brother in the USA has to have played the Dozens. The most brutal and friendship-testing game imaginable.
"Ya mom's so stupid, they put her brain in a bird and that b**** started flying backwards!"
"Ya mom's so fat, she stopped going to the beach because every time she tried to lay down on a blanket, people pushed her in the water saying 'Save the whales!'"
"Your mama's so old that I saw a picture in y'all's photo album of her and Moses having a cup of tea.";)
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...jonin,man we had fun..yo momma is so fat..haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! !!
The Dozens were so wrong. The only thing more truly emblematic of black male culture is the barber shop debate.
Hey jerry,the barber shop is where true black history is taught!!
Oh we do that in New York right to this day! Who could starred in "Blade" other than Wesley Snipes? Stuff like that! LOL! My barber shop is a block and half from the Atlantic Ocean shoreline and whenever it gets really windy and rains, you smell fish in the air LOL!!!
That's exactly why we did it! In the early 80s the "Urban Cowboy" was the ITT! We use to go to this big popular place called "Bobby McGees" and all the women were were those tight jeans, bloused that opened down to there and their cute little cowgirl boots LOL! Square dance time!
I worked with a Native American girl named Jennifer at a grocery store. She was really cute. Her dad used to stop in my line and we talked all the time, very cool guy. Jennifer was always kind of reserved but when Urban Cowboy came out, it changed her world. She became more open, started wearing cowgirl hats and boots and every Thursday and weekend night, and was literally a different person. Her father didn't know what happened to her.
Urban Cowboy was a good movie. It's hard to explain to people that country music was a dying genre that had been put on AM and breathing its last gasp before that movie changed everything. It went from being a fringe radio format to being second only to top 40. We had three FM radio stations in Columbus and two of them lasted for more than 20 years. In my opinion, Dolly and Kenny almost ruined the genre with their pop crossover pablum. But that movie made the Mickey Gilleys, Willie Nelsons, Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynns and George Joneses of the world into superstars.
The only other thing I recall that was like it was Saturday Night Fever, which also created a huge cultural shift [[and almost ruined black music). No offense intended with the "black music" reference. Too bad nobody ever made a great movie about the blues or reggae or jazz. Being honest, those are formats that translate into "lived happily ever after" stories. So I doubt they'd have the same impact on the culture.
LOL. You weren't politically correct, 144man. We've always been politically incorrect on this side of pond. If I had to guess, the version you heard was the original and somebody over here decided to throw race into it... because. That's what You Know Who means when he wants to make America grate again.
Hey marv,the local liquor store just had deliveries and dig this...nobody ever robbed the guy either and in the early sixties nobody in my hood had credit cards so it was cash up front,that guy put many miles on that ol bike..those were the days!!
Haaaaaaaaaaaa..he'd need an armored truck and a squad of marines!!
Hey jerry,i bet cha that as soon as one of those get shot down in [nra]country they'll start talking about stricter gun laws,haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
And let's not forget the driverless cars and robot deliveries. All this new tech's going to start a whole new industry. Legal problems too.
I dare em to send a robot car to the hood...can't wait to see the headlines on that one-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Yep. And the suburban kids all have plenty of loot and social issues out the ying yang. They can afford the pizza but will steal it because they think it's funny. But the first time somebody in the hood tries to use an expired credit card, they'll stop delivering there. They'll be flipping robot cars over left and right in the suburbs and they'll still find a reason to continue serving them.
