Today’s CHOCOLATE JAM is “Dynamite” by Taio Cruz
Happy Freaky Friday, folks! Please don’t forget to wear a condom because I hear there’s an unfortunate lumpy labia disease floating around in cyberspace.
Latex and lubricate you!
It’s morning!!
Good morning family. What it do?
BB Winans irks the heck out of me and I can’t put my finger on why that is.
Small accomplishment: I ran 1.25 quarters of a mile w/o stopping. That is huge for me.
Way to go Juicy. That’s a great accomplishment!!!!!
Thanks Yly. I am proud of myself. Running/jogging is do hard for me. I despise it. I really want to get to a point where I like it because it really gets the fat off.
I love Robin Meade on CNN. We could be friends. I think she’s pretty too.
It’s mo’nin time!
Juicy…let me know how that works for you. I cannot imagine running ever being pleasurable and think there’s something WRONG with people that say they enjoy it.
*no offense to any lurking demented running lurkers*
I refused to run in high school gym class (and still won’t do it to this day).
The only reason to run is to get away from Freddy, Jason or whoever else is lurking in the woods.
I kid. I do it sporadically and hate every second of it, but as Juicy pointed out, it’s a great way to shed pounds.
Who ever thought it was a good idea for women to enter the workforce? We should be allowed to sit on thrones every day while the men do all the work and cater to us.
Morning fam!
Lovely…um, I think I want to see Usher. I’m listening to his CDs this morning and I’m grooving. I might have to dish out a few bucks to see him.
Why did I post a message and it showed up on yesterday’s board…
I didnt say anything poignant, though, so forget it! LOL What do y’all have planned for the weekend?
I am SOOOOO looking forward to my trip home next weekend for the baby shower and some much needed R&R..&D!
Congrats Osun!!!! Keep it up!
Sho’ wonder what ‘D’ is? Hmmm….
Letmein – hahaha! You better get those VIP tickets!!
LHM – I like when you go home. You ALWAYS post something funny!
My weekend is going to be spent doing family stuff. My family and his family both have stuff going on. I haven’t seen my friends in so long, I’m going through withdrawl. I’m hoping we can squeeze in brunch (or at least a quick trip to Cupcake a la mode)
What you talkin about Willis?
Lemein, I sW the preview for your namesake movie. I won’t be watching.
Hi party people.
Are there pills a husband can spike a pregnant wife’s drink with to make her calm down?
Slenda just enjoy her mania.
Good Morning Everyone! It’s F*R*I D*A*Y.
Six more days until the season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy.
A dealer just got mad at me and asked for my boss. I told him she wasn’t at her desk and he told me to have her call. I told him I don’t take messages and he needs to call back and ask for a receptionist if he wants her. AND THEN I HUNG UP.
I’m soooooooooooooooo not in the mood today.
Jacque – I’m SOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about that!! I need to adjust my schedule next week so I can prepare for it (take a nap, order my Grey’s pizza, make sure my cherry coke is ice cold, warm up my snuggie)…
CTFU @ Lovely! You a mess! And NO I won’t be buying VIP tickets. I don’t want to see him THAT BAD! Heck I won’t be anywhere near where we sat for Jamie Foxx. Plus, the feeling is slowly subsiding. Maybe I just needed to wake up. Hell I’ve already seen him twice!
JB…I won’t be watching that shat either!! I was like WTF?!
slenda…Sorry, no pills. Just keep repeating to yourself “This is only temporary.” Oh, and say “Yes, dear.” a lot.
slenda…and rub her feet and back without her asking, paint her toenails even. You’ll get brownie points.
Letmein – would you rather buy Usher tickets or can you just watch his videos on youtube? He’s gonna do all the same dances on every song… at some point he’ll rip his shirt off… after that, he’ll be super sweaty and he’ll slow it down for the ladies and then he’ll end the show with one of his club bangers.
I’m sure you can already visualize his entire set in your mind.
“rub her feet and back without her asking, paint her toenails even.”
Oh man! Guess I’m doomed then cuz I didn’t do this. Now If I do it she’s gonna say “What must I forgive you for?”
YES hasn’t worked
NO hasn’t worked
ANSWERING HONESTLY hasn’t worked
NOT ANSWERING hasn’t worked
Slenda – look at her and say “tell me what to do and I’ll do it”… hang your head down and look defeated & depleated, then drop to your knees and scream “Lord, help me help her!!!”
*Kinda seems like you could break out in a praise dance right there, but only do that if one ray of sunshine is shining through the window and creating a spotlight for you.
Lol@ that prais dancing with the ray of sunshine.
Ugh would not want to step foot near a Mary J and Jazmine Sullivan concert.
Hey Fam. MsF: really @ MaryJ concert? she has some really classic tracks…i love her station on Pandora….ion know what yall talking bout…thats just the last post on the board when i started typing this…being lazy today and dont feel like reading everything above…hope all is well with everyone…I did see earlier where Love: snapped on a caller *in martins voice* NOW THATS FUNNY…
Lovely, you just made me laugh. I will try it out this weekend as I am sure I won’t make it past it without getting myself into trouble. I received a text with a smiley today so I think it’s low tide and I should wade in.
lmao @ love. good advice for slenda…straight turn it around on her…then invoke Jesus and nem…oh its over then…lol slenda: hows everything coming?
I am at this geigh spot grabbing lunch. Lord please forgive me for avoiding gazes, but their salads are the bomb!
Please and Berkenstock you…
On another note, I love my new wax chick. She is black, too. The things you talk about when your crotch area has a ray of light shined upon it… LMAO.
Btw, as an FYI don’t be afraid of Brazilian waxes. At first I was, until I found out you can say just how much you want off and you DO NOT have to go prepubescent. You will also walk with a little pep in your step. I swear I heard a whistling sound when I turned a corner.
I like Mary on cd but I don’t know if I could stand all her yelling & crying in an actual concert.
Love: i agree with that tho. on her live versions of ish…umm no ma’am…lets sing it EXACTLY how you have it on track…K-Ci rubbed off on her too much i guess
Exactly Lovely, I love her earlier music but lately her live performances leave a lot to be desired. Woooo LHM I have never had a brazilian I am afraid that I would die from the pain. I am pretty good with a razor.
SB/Fresy – ya’ll see K-Ci & JoJo have a reality showing coming on TV One about them getting sober. I can’t WAIT for that foolishness.
I heard them live at a Tom Joyner sky show a couple years ago and JoJo was singing too much and K-Ci started yelling “Shut up JoJo! Shut up! Lemme sing it!” and they both just sounded soooooooooooo drunk!
Clearly Lovely they are still a big hot steaming chili bowl of a mess.
*random and I’m sure i’ll receive plenty of thumbs down for this…but in all fairness I just read Love’s comment way up there…so she’s actually the one that brought it up first….lol* anyway Im stil messed over the lumpy labia ish..lmao what messed me up was the detail in which reeces posted bout her issue —> “Has anyone ever discovered a lump inside their vagina? Kinda BETWEEN THE OPENING AND THE. I’m scared.” WTF…do you mean…who needs to know that much detail about it…dangit…that’s what messed me up…lol anyway carry on…
Fresy – CLEARLY!!
I already know it’s gonna be like watching a trainwreck I’m really, really, really pulling for them to get well. They put out good music when they want to.
SB – nuh uhn, LHM brought up the lumpy labia!! I don’t even want to think about it.
lol @ Love. How many folk going to Las Vegas?
a ninja cash aint looking to smoothe at the moment…one day it will tho…and im in there…
Word of the Day
September 17
debacle
\dee-BAH-kul\
noun
1 : a tumultuous breakup of ice in a river
2 : a violent disruption (as of an army) : rout
3 a : a great disaster
b : a complete failure : fiasco
EXAMPLE SENTENCE:
Volunteers from around the nation have joined together to aid the communities affected by the oil spill debacle.
I won’t bring up lumpy labias anymore, though…
But for the record, I laughed so hard that day… it was reminiscent of the old F4A days…
SB, I’m just sayin…
I just read an article saying NYC is trying to ban smoking in public places like parks, pedestrian plazas and beaches. That makes me happy!! There are few things I hate more than having to a big cloud of cig smoke fly in my face.
Hell, I don’t even think people should be allowed to smoke with their car windows rolled down. If I’m at a stoplight, I can ALWAYS smell the funk from the idiots who hang their stupid cigarettes out the window.
Good afternoon BBP’s! Happy Friday! My day started off slow today cuz hubby decided to allow J to go to football practice even though he had a shitload of homework. So, he stayed up til 12 last night trying to finish it, then he finished the rest this morning. So we were an hour late today.
So, we had a lil’ spat this morning cuz I told him that school is more important than football…football is a privilege, education is a necessity. I don’t give a damn if he IS the coach! So now he’s got a little ‘tude cuz he called me just to say “hi” and he says I was jumpin down his throat. I will take J completely OFF the team if it interferes with his schoolwork, I don’t give a damn! 
Okay, I’m done! What’s the T? *scrolling up*
12 – sho’ you right!
What made it so funny was all of ya’lls extra silly comments afterwards!
http://www.rhymeswithsnitch.com/2010/09/ti-dropped-dirty.html#more
Hey e’erbody! It’s the weekend! If loose lips sinks ships, then lumpy lips licked the slate clean! I agree LHM, that day was soooo funny! I am so happy today! My reagular hairdresser is out of the shelter and my hair is bouncing and behaving…that is all!
This chick ranks right up there with the doctor who suffocated in her man’s chimney….Bethany Storro, 28, told Vancouver Police that an African-American woman passed her on the street and threw a cup of caustic liquid in her face the evening of August 30. She was released from an Oregon hospital on September 5 after undergoing surgery for her injuries after the alleged attack. But after cracks in the story began to emerge, Storro admitted that her injuries were self-inflicted and the attack never happened. Storro’s story made national news becoming a hot topic on all the morning shows and on the blogosphere. But police say all the little details didn’t add up. Storro is still being interviewed by detectives and prosecutors have not decided if they plan to charge her. Maybe this woman is dealing with some mental and emotional challenges, to inflict such harm on herself. But why did she have to throw a black woman under the bus?
Hey Party People! Glad to be among the land of the living.
Whatchu know good? LOL
Philly are u on FB? Are u connected w/ F4A family?
Congrats Soror J. Keep up the good work.
and ummmm LHM- congrats on the wax!
TMI TMI TMI
slenda…when she asks “What must I forgive you for?” You answer “Nothing to forgive. This is my small way of showing how much I appreciate you and what you’re going through carrying our baby, my finest.”
Marlon Wayans has been selected to play Richard Pryor in an upcoming bio-pic. Marlon is replacing Eddie Murphy whose financial demands priced him out of the production.
Marlon Wayans as Richard Pryor?!?!
They would have been better off getting an unknown man to play Richard.
Dammit HK. lol @ Whatcha know good? I swear he just asked me that ish walla go…yes walla….lol stupid azz question…
I wanna play somebody in a movie…
Carl Thomas radio on Pandora….JAMMIN…da hell happened to Carl man? Sheesh that dude…could sing and he had some really jazzy tacks…
I asked my partner and friend that, they said in unisome…’DIDDY’ smh
YLawdY, you are a great aunt.
Hi Hersh….yes, I am on FB. I’m friends with AS12, YLY, Sactown and I can’t remember who all else. Check Pen’s list and hit me up under my govmint moniker…
SB – I tried to respond but Boom-Boom was licking the lumpy labia and she accidentally f*cked something up…
ANYWAY, what I said was you know Diddy didn’t develop anyone except Biggie. All his artists have 1-2 albums and then they go back to a ‘regular’ lifestyle.
I do admire Diddy though. He was the 2nd highest earner in hip hop last year. Jay made twice as much as him but I believe Diddy still pulled in around $30M. I guess his clothing line and all that other stuff is where he makes his money. I haven’t bought a Bad Boy cd since “Making The Band” and that “Bad Boys II SOundtrack”.
He had Loon, Black Rob, G-Depp, Cassie, Young Joc… he even had New Edition for a minute. Wonder what happened with that.
It’s curtains for T.I….Maybe.
The drug tests are back and T.I. tested positive for whatever drugs he and Tiny were tripping off when they made that illegal u-turn on Sunset Blvd in L.A. earlier this month. It was revealed that one of the passengers in the car was a convicted felon who, as a condition of his probation, T.I. was not supposed to be in the company of. There’s also the little matter of T.I.’s new drug possession charge because ecstasy was found on his person. Tip’s been ordered before the judge for a bond hearing to determine whether or not his bail will be revoked and if he’ll have to go back and complete his 1 year and 1 day prison sentence – minus the 7 months he already served.
A date for the hearing has not been set.
In the mean time T.I. had to cancel a concert date at Penn State because he’s now restricted from travel.
Wow… so this lil midget is going back to jail for taking ecstacy? that’s just pitiful. *smh*
And I shudder at the thought of the monkey love he and Tiny were going to have once the X kicked in.
LOVE & MARRIAGE: OPINION: CAN’T GET A DATE? GO WHERE ‘BLACK’ IS EXOTIC
September 16th, 2010 – By Christelyn Karazin
By now most black women have heard that we outnumber our male counterparts by a whopping two million. Since polygamy and man-sharing isn’t desirable to most, opening up your dating options to include an international pool suddenly turns your love life into an ocean of possibilities.
Take Brooklyn native, Ieishah Clelland, who packed up her big apples and went to Barcelona, Spain and Belgrade, Serbia and quickly came to discover her deep brown skin and curvy figure were a hot commodity. Apparently, chaps in certain parts of Europe, the Balkans and the Netherlands are climbing over the blue-eyed blonds and checking for the melanin-rich sisters.
“So much about this depends on your attitude,” says Clelland, who runs a blog, Brooklyn. Barcelona. Belgrade that chronicles her experiences abroad. According to her, issues of slavery, Jim Crow, and the “mammy/whore” stereotype generally don’t come into play, so that makes the baggage a bit lighter, so to speak. “They view us as just Americans,” (as opposed to hyphenated ones).
Clelland also says the ride has been less bumpy for her close friend–an African American man–who has been globetrotting with an expired passport. “Can you imagine? A black man can’t even drive a car in the U.S. without a license!” She goes on to say that her pal feels “freer and more creative” outside these United States.
Hmmmm…he feels freer outside the ‘land of the free?‘ Scratching my head on the irony of that one.
I and my writing partner, Janice Rhoshalle Littlejohn are still deep in research on this stuff, but a quick impression from our interviews so far points the arrow on: the Netherlands (think Holland).
My fellow LMU college alum packed up for Holland last winter, and although she’s a California girl through and through, she’s toughing out those bitter winters and she’s not coming back to the States any time soon. She tells me that blond and blue eyes are so bologna sandwich. Her Nordic boyfriend treats her like fillet mignon.
Germany: Apparently it’s one of the most welcoming places to date and mate internationally.
The Balkans: Now that’s a new one for me, but Clelland is getting pretty hot and heavy with a Serb and it looks like she’ll be packing and waving adios to Spain in the near future.

I had to mess with ya!
Ok today I feel incredibly sexy! No particular reason. Just feel amazingly beautiful. Eff the mainstream. Black sisters are more beautiful than any other women on earth. Brothers tale note. That is all.
*sigh * Brothers take note! *durn auto type *
Tale note…….,,Freudian slip?
Black Tail is not only a wonderful men’s magazine (to hear my cop friend tell it), it’s the pride of our community.
I personally love my black tail and I love that ‘he’ loves my black tail (even though it can’t compete with Angel Lola Luv’s and Nikki Minaj’s pad-a-booty)
Sextra: She’s Got Too Much Hair Down There!
I want to get your opinion on something. I met this girl about 9 months ago and we decided to be exclusive about 4 months into it. She had me f*cked up because she was on some “do what you do” type sh*t and she would kinda play me to the left when I was on my stupid sh*t and she would call me on it. She’s a natural woman and she’s so smart and really opened my eyes to a lot of things that I took no interest in before. I’m normally not attracted to mother earth women but she’s so f*cking cool and I can’t lie she got me feeling some kinda way about her. She’s a very pretty girl in the face and her skin is beautiful but she doesn’t shave and that’s my only problem. She don’t shave her legs, armpits or her pocket! It’s so wild and bushy down there and one time when I went down on her there were tissue bits stuck in it and that killed it for me! When I asked her why she doesn’t shave or wax she said it’s because that’s a european standard of beauty. I like her enough to look past these things but I would like a set smooth legs in the bed next to me. I want her to trim that bush not just because it’s too hairy but I want to see more of it. She don’t even have to take it all off but trim it and take the sides down. I’m a hairy dude myself and I’m considerate enough to clip my hairs where it’s needed and keep a groomed look so is it too much to ask her to do the same? I just can’t see why a 30 year old woman would not see the benefits of keeping herself groomed. I’ve never had to have this conversation with a woman before and I respect her lifestyle but I need her to do this for me.
>philly, what’s your initials? I don’t remember your gov’t name.
Afternoon People!! SB> LOL, I heard “Its Over Now” by 112 yesterday and said what happened to 112 and my sister said the same thing “Diddy” LOL…..
My initials are CS…
Lil Mocc, I think they had the longest stint with Bad Boy and released the most albums. I miss the days of them, Faith, Murder Ma$e and Biggie…
ewwww @ tissue bits.
