Today’s CHOCOLATE JAM is “Gett Off” by Prince
How appropriate for today!
Hey now!
Good morning Grey’s fans!
I’m so happy the show was back. Bailey made me tear up when she said “I’m happy to see you all”… Even though she didn’t say much, the emotion was soooo powerful.
The rest of the show was cool… I’m kind of glad we didn’t have to watch Derek recover and that they fast forwarded a bit. I like how we’re seeing the after effects on everyone.
My girl said she didn’t think the show was all that great but I told her I still liked it. You can’t go from the greatest season finale ever to the season premiere being equally shocking… After a climax that great, you have to come back down and then build back up. Nobody ‘busts off’ back to back to back in rapid succession. I think next week is going to be a shocker — Yang looks like she’s about to have a stroke or something.
Good morning family. What it do? It’s Freaky Friday. Let’s get this party started!
Inquiring minds are curious – Bishop Long cancelled an interview on Tom Joyner yesterday, but says he will address the allegations from the pulpit on Sunday. I wonder what the reaction would be from the Christian congregation if any or all of the young men showed up @ service?
Michelle Obama to shut off Nickelodeon for “Worldwide Day of Play”
NEW YORK (AP) — First lady Michelle Obama will symbolically pull the switch turning Nickelodeon and its sister networks off for three hours Saturday, part of its annual effort to encourage children to go out and play.
In a taped message, the first lady tells Nick viewers to “get ready to shut down your computers, put down your cell phones and turn off your TVs.” The tape will air at noon (Eastern time) Saturday. Nickelodeon, Nicktoons, Nick Jr. and TeenNick will then go off the air for the “Worldwide Day of Play.”
Fans can’t simply switch to their computers; each network’s corresponding website will go dark, too.
Nick has contributed time for public service announcements for Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign to combat childhood obesity, and is donating $50,000 to schools and community groups.
morning fam!
MS – that’s cool of the networks to agree to that. I’m all for these little fat @ss kids becoming more active.
It’s going to suck for kids who are having bad weather but I guess they can find something to do inside.
Jazz – my hope for all of them would be that everybody prays for healing. The whole situation is a mess. Bishop Long, the 3 men, the church folk, and even the ones just showing up and hoping to see some drama — they all need prayer.
And some Preparation H…
Aww, it’s Friday folks! Where’s your sense of humor?
Hey all! Happy friday

Good Morning Chocolate Drops! Happy Friday!!!
I’ve missed y’all! I’ve been so busy the past few days, didn’t have time to stop by. 
But today’s Friday…I ain’t got no job, and I ain’t got ish to do. j/k I got a job. 
So wassup? What’s the T? *scrolling up*
Is there a pill I can take that will dissolve my uterus?
LMAO @ letemein. I’m sorry for your pain, but that was some funny shyt. “dissolving uterus brahahahahaha*
Annnnnnnnnnnnd, thanks to Jazz, I’ve been singing the chorus of “Get Off” for the past hour. I’m getting on my own nerves!!
*love the song but I really need to learn more lyrics…
How can I put this in a way so as not 2 offend or unnerve?
But there’s a rumor goin’ all around that U ain’t been gettin’ served
They say that U ain’t “U know what” in, baby, who knows how long
It’s hard 4 me 2 say what’s right when all I wanna do is wrong
CHORUS:
Gett off ?23 positions in a one night stand
Gett off ?I’ll only call U after if U say I can
Gett off ?Let a woman be a woman and a man be a man
Gett off ?If U want 2, baby, here I am (Here I am)
I clocked the jizz from a friend of yours named Vanessa Bet (Bet)
She said U told her a fantasy that got her all wet (Wet)
Something about a little box with a mirror and a tongue inside (Yeah)
What she told me then got me so hot, I knew that we could slide (Ooh)
CHORUS
Gett off {repeat in BG}
1 2 3
Naw, little cutie, I ain’t drinkin’
But scope this, I was just thinkin’
U + me, what a ride
If U was thinkin’ the same, we could continue outside
Lay your pretty body against a parkin’ meter
Strip your dress down like I was strippin’ a Peter Paul’s Almond Joy
Lemme show U, baby, I’m a talented boy
Everybody grab a body
Pump it like U want somebody
Gett off
So here we, so here we?
So here we are, here we are in my paisley crib
What cha want 2 eat? (Ribs!)
Naw toy, I don’t serve ribs
U better be happy that dress is still on
I heard the rip when U sat down
Honey, them hips is gone
But that’s alright, I clock ‘em that way
Remind me of somethin’ James used 2 say
“I like ‘em fat, I like ‘em proud
U got 2 have a mother 4 me”
Now move your big ass ’round this way
So I can work on that zipper, baby
2night U’re a star and I’m the Big Dipper
Na, na, na, na {x2}
(Kick it)
(Gett off) {repeat in BG}

Morning Fam —> “Oh there they go. There they go, every time I start talkin ’bout boxing, a white man got to pull Rocky Marciano out their ass. That’s their one, that’s their one. Rocky Marciano. Rocky Marciano. Let me tell you something once and for all. Rocky Marciano was good, but compared to Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano ain’t shit.” lol
“He whooped Joe Louis’ ass!”
He beat Joe Louis’ ass
Letmein – are you ‘in the motherly way’ again?
“That’s right, he did whoop Joe Louis’ ass.”
“Joe Louis was 75 years old when they fought.”
“I don’t know how old he was, but he got his ass whooped.”
“Joe Louis had come outta retirement to fight Rocky Marciano he was 76 years old. Joe Louis is always lying about his age. He lie about his age all the time. One time Frank Sinatra came in here and sat in this chair. I said Frank ‘you hang out with Joe Louis, just between me and you, how old is Joe Louis.’ You know what Frank told me, he said “Hey, Joe Louis is 137 years old.” A hundred and thirty-seven years old!”
“Man, you lying, you ain’t never meet no Frank Sinatra.”
“Fvck you, fvck you, and fvck you! Who’s next?!”
Love the “Coming to America”!
Motherly Way meaning pregnant? Hell to the naw! I’m just SUFFERING! I swear I turned 40 and all kinds of shat went wrong!
although….some chocolate covered salt sounds really good right now…
Hmm. Chocolate covered? Salty taste inside? I may have what you need!! ;o)
SNORK!
Did Mr. Letmein get to happy and smash yo uterus?????
SB – we know Coming to America forwards and backwards… the man says his homie is going to sing “She’s Your Queen to Be” whenever I walk down the aisle. I told him I’ll allow it at the rehearsal dinner but definitely not at the ceremony.
His friend sounds JUST like lil dude from the movie…
She’s your Queen-to-be. A Queen-to-be forever. A Queen who’ll do whatever his highness desires. She’s your Queen-to-be. A vision of perfection. An object of affection to quench your royal fire. Completely free from infection. To be used at your discretion. Waiting only for your direction. Your Queen-to-be.
Chocolate covered salt?!
I love the way he looks as soon as he’s done singing!
That movie is a cult classic and just as I know all of the lines to Color Purple, I know those lines too. I remember being 12 and knowing all the lines to Purple Rain. I watch too much tv. 
Thank God for the DVR!
Morniiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
So lovely, are we all invited to the wedding? Oooo, can I be a bridesmaid? I’ll do that dance routine from Coming to America as I walk down the aisle, but I WILL NOT wear a bikini!
RANDOM: The word “aisle” looks so stupid. No wonder foreigner’s have a hard time learning English!
*waving hard* Wassup bro-boo!
12 – of course! Can I register for gifts and you all send gifts first? We don’t have an engagement date, nor a wedding date just yet but gifts are ALWAYS welcomed!
When the man’s brother was in grad school, we went to Minneapolis every few weeks and EVERY time we were there, I said “go purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka”. (and they gave me the blank stare EVERY time I said it).
You are not alone Lovely. My favorite line from Purple Rain when Prince walked off the stage after singing ONE song… the famous words of Billy Sparks “WTF is this one song shit?” Prince replied….That’s Life. Billy said…Life my ASS muthafucka! Dis is a BIDNESS! you ain’t too far gone to see dat! I love that line!
((*))((*))
MWM – I spooged yesterday afternoon (wanted to get it out of the way before Grey’s Anatomy started). It was short, quick and to the point!
Good Morning Fam! Happy Friday!! ** SPOILER ALERT** Lovely> I loved how Grey’s eased us into what has been going on since the shooting. Seeing everyone’s full recovery would have been too long and drawn out. Everybody is still severly traumatized from the shootings as they should be. I had forgotten about Meredith’s miscarriage and felt bad for her and Derek when he asked her to make a baby with him….I am MAD that they had Bailey break up with the cutie pie… When she said she was too busy with the glue and tape trying to keep herself together i wanted him to say so bad… “I will be your glue and tape and I will help you through this” but instead, Bailey has no significant other AGAIN this season…. maybe they will bring him back I’m pushing for some new BLACK interns/doctors for Bailey and that fine little intern with the nice eyes to hook up with. They act like Black people can’t have functioning love lives like the rest of them. Also, it should have been a 2 hour premiere. I know it is only gonna get better and better from here. WTF is gonna happen to Christina next week. She seems to be cool about not operating unlike before. LOL @ The Chief dancing in his office.
RANDOM: I watched The Event and Hawaii 5-0 last night and liked both. May have something to replace LOST.
Lil Mocc – I agree about Bailey’s man. That would have been the perfect opportunity for him to say that but I think she still would have pushed him away. That was essentially her 2nd time doing it so I was glad it at least ended on a semi-positive note rather than him being a dog or something like that.
Dr. Avery McHottie is supposedly going to have an expanded role this season and will get a love interest. I PRAY she’s nigruh.
I forgot about Mere’s miscarriage as well. I was confused… I thought Derek knew she was pregnant last season. Did she not tell him?
she was going to tell him when all the shat went down…..
Has anyone smelled Poppy by Coach? Love this scent. *adding to my Christmas wish list*
Good Morning Everyone!
YLawdY, I’m glad you liked The Event, now you can join in on our conversation when we discuss it. Why, oh Why, can’t we get you interested in Grey’s???????
Well fam I’m out. My big mouth volunteered to hand out trash bags at my son’s school. Why can’t I shut up sometimes? See y’all on the flip side!
Jacque…I’ve tried REALLY hard. Can’t do it. Medical dramas don’t do it for me. I can’t watch Hawthorne either. Didn’t do ER when it was on.
Jacque, what did you think of it?
I appreciate this kind of health advice, I figured you would too.
Important Women’s Health Issue:
* Do you have feelings of inadequacy?
* Do you suffer from shyness?
* Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive?

pharmacist about Margaritas.

almost immediately and with a regimen of regular doses you can

to live.
Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past and you will
discover many talents you never knew you had. Stop hiding and start
living, with Margaritas.
Margaritas may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or

* The consumption of Margaritas may make you think you can logically
converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting.
Please share this with other women who may need Margaritas.
Lil Mocc, ooohhhh… ok. And then she had the miscarriage during his surgery.
Awww… she’s carrying that stress & loss all by herself. That’s really sad.
BTW, she looked really pretty in her dress with her hair and makeup for the wedding. I wish they got to dress up more.
Yeah, she did look pretty.. but you could tell she was still carrying baby weight in her face and she doesn’t look so anorexic.
I don’t want my drs and nurses dressed up. I need them to look like they mean business…
>ylawd, I can’t get into hospital dramas either. The only one that I ever watched was City of Angles back in the day. They just don’t do it for me.
See YLY, that’s why you can’t get interested in it. You are putting too much emphasis on the MEDICAL part.
You know what my show used to be? BOSTON PUBLIC!!!! OMG, that was like my soap opera! Oooo, and back then Soul Food was on too. That’s when tv was off the chain! We would have Soul Food gatherings every week! I miss that.
Right, it’s more about relationships than anything.
Hey Sistah-Boo, only way I’m watching a medical drama is if the ER is based on strange shat that happens while Spoogin…. Now that would get my attention….
Lovely, I agree totally with the way you and lilmocc wrapped up the episode and I can’t wait until next week.
MWM, that has actually happened on Grey’s Anatomy. Lovely/lilmocc, was it last year or the year before that Lil Grey broke Mark’s member while having sex?
Jacque, and how long did you have to wait for that to happen? I want to see chicks coming in with actual smoke coming off the nappy dugout! I want to see a chick come in with the 4 hour orgasim screaming make it stop, make it stop…. Or chick with a broke back cause dude blasted off and she shot off his wang. etc…..
Okay MWM, I will submit those ideas to Shonda Rhimes, the show’s creator, and see if thoses scenarios are doable.
I believe that was 2 years ago
He still loves her and I think that’s so sweet…
Lovely, I don’t like April. I’m surprised she didn’t get written out.
Jacque, I think my version should be shown on HBO or Skinamax……..
Who is April? That Mercy West chick?
I read on wikipedia that she and Avery are moving in with Meredith & Derek this season. I PRAY not as a couple.
MWM – Your version sounds like it belongs on the WB or CW (or BET after dark)
Yes, Lovely, that’s April. I don’t think she and Avery will be a couple because she loves Derek. Please Shonda, don’t have April making the moves on Derek!!!!
This man has called me TEN times today trying to get me to override something.
I am officially not answering my phone until Monday if I see area code 402.
Where is everyone? I guess too much Grey’s talk, huh. Well I’ll change the subject.
Lovely, I fell asleep on Private Practice. Did you watch it?
I’d like some smoke coming from my nappy dugout…Sounds hooootttt!
People shouldn’t feel alienated by Grey’s talk. They can carry on other conversations
I watched it but it was boring. That’s probably going to end up on my list of stuff that gets dvr’d but might get deleted if I start running out of space.
I’m just not interested in anything that’s going on on the show. I wish red-head (I forgot her name, that’s pitiful) would just go back to Seattle Grace (and take Sam & Naomi with her) and let P.P. be cancelled.
Smokey dugout, and I couldn’t get freaky friday started, I’ve lost my touch…..
YLY – this is in no way a joke against you, but when you just said that I thought of BBD’d tuna and it made me shiver and crinkle my nose!
Yogi…your touch is working just fine over here. I’m having visions. LOL
Boo-Boo we share the same freaky mind so I’m not surprised, but the rest of these mofos….. humph………
Maybe those of that don’t like Grey’s can dress up like doctors and nurses on Freaky Friday?
MWM – You don’t want to know the depths of my freakiness. Trust me.
You’re the only man on here this afternoon so it’s kinda hard to get in the freaky frame of mind.
BBQ’d tuna? Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with you? LOL I was thinking more along the lines of spooge so hot his name is branded….Oh never mind. *taking my fantasy to the corner*
Boo-Boo I do have a thing for nurses, that’s where my white stocking fetish comes from. Now at the hospital they all where scrubs, what a turn off…..
Lovely you won’t even teabag, so how freaky can you be, you just get busy every damn place…..
White thigh highs….
That will work……
You’re right about that… I’m not tea bagging. It’s totally unnecessary.
My “Will Not” list is actually not that long.
And you’re right, I’ll do it just about anywhere… I like the thrill of it. Knowing someone else could potentially see us is exciting to me.
YLawdY, did you know Jimmy Smits has a new show coming on tonight?
Jacque…YES! It came on last week and I am so there. Jimmy Smits has always been on my CGI list. Jimmy, Blair, Boris, Shemar, LL….it just be raining fine black men on tv these days. Well Jimmy is Hispanic, but you know what I mean.
Men of color.
*not to blow up their heads, but they are TRULY a gift from God.
My homo friend just updated that he got a tip that Eddie Long is going to step down on Sunday and that 4 more lawsuits are about to come out.
WHOOOOAAA Lovely…..
did ya’ll see the cake he commissioned a bakery to make for his 25th pastoral anniversary on YBF? it was a copy of his Iphone complete with the New Birth logo… why wouldn’t it be a replica of his church, school, him in his robe, a cross, anything that actually represented 25 years in the ministry…. things that make you say hmmmm
I didn’t see that… wth does an iPhone have to do with a church anniversary?
Exactly….. check out the link when you can…… http://www.theybf.com/2010/09/24/oh-the-irony-bishop-eddie-longs-anniversary-cake
Lil Mocc – I can’t see it from work but I just found a link to FB mobile on my phone. That’s a doggone shame (if it’s real). You know photoshop is a micky-fick. That just doesn’t even seem normal to me.
This dude is in deep doo-doo
More Boys to Come Foward?
They say the attorney representing the boys who came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Bishop Eddie Long is currently vetting a flood of other young men who want to cash in, I mean tell their stories.
POSTED BY RHYMES WITH SNITCH AT 11:25 AM
OJ – you know folks are going to cash in on this… If the congregation is 25-30K, they’re gonna come out of the woodworks like Tiger Wood’s mistresses.
Love I am trying to reserve judgement but this is very fishy. I think yhis is either extortion or a case of jilted lovers getting payback. If he was having affairs with these guys who were over the age of consent then I s&m glad he was exposed but those boys don’t deserve any money. If there was some really incriminating evidence it would already be released. I need a date stamp on when those pics were sent because one boy did steal his iPhone and ipad.
OJ – I’m almost certain it’s a shakedown for money. They were all over the age of consent so that’s the only thing it COULD be. (IMO)
Just pray for all of em…
I’m outta here, you have a good weekend!
From http://www.bvblackspin.com —
It has been reported that the Bishop Eddie Long is going to step down as pastor after his sermon set to be delivered on Sunday. Long is currently the pastor of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta. He was recently challenged by three young men who filed suit against the pastor for allegedly coercing them into sex.
There are also reports that as many as 30 young men have contacted the plaintiff’s attorney, BJ Bernstein, in an effort to file suits of their own or join the existing lawsuit.
Bishop Eddie Long’s sex scandal has been in the headlines of national news for several days. Since the story broke, there have been suspicious pictures released that feature Bishop Long wearing muscle shirts and spandex, posing in the bathroom. Some have wondered why Long would send these images to his “spiritual sons.”
On the Bishop Eddie Long sex fiasco, which I discussed this morning on MSNBC, there appear to be three angles of consideration: Legality, morality and hypocrisy. Legally, one has to determine if Long violated his fiduciary responsible to take care of the young men under his guidance. Secondly, there is the question of whether the men he may have slept with were of legal age and whether or not there was coercion.
In terms of morality, there is the obvious concern about a pastor preaching the bible on Sundays and violating biblical principles by allegedly committing adultery and sleeping with men. Many members of his congregation may not be happy to see any evidence that this is indeed the case.
Finally, there is the issue of hypocrisy. Bishop Eddie Long has gone out of his way to position himself as a pastor standing against gay rights. He has also been accused of pushing homosexuals out of the church. The idea that he may be gay himself certainly undermines his public credibility.
It appears that Bishop Eddie Long may become the Tiger Woods of the pulpit. It will be interesting to see where the case goes from here, and as I said two days ago, this is probably just the beginning.
