Paper Chasing…

krona

Were you one of the folks that invested in foreign currency? When the British Sterling starts taking a nosedive then you know something wicked this way comes. Me personally, I was fucking with Iceland behind that whole shit about Greenland being covered with ice while Iceland was lush and green.

If G DUBBZ had declared martial law or whatever I was taking my sneakers and my action figures to Reykjavík the capital city. I was hoping all those years of reading The Mighty Thor comics would help me pronounce some of the people’s names. Iceland was rated the world’s most developed nation and like in the top five as far as production per capita. That is pretty fucking awesome that I can marry my Angela Bassett blow up doll and it isn’t a problem.

This is the kind of freedom that comes to places that have no religious fundamentalism. Iceland was originally settled by Irish monks, but later some norsemen came to the island and killed off the monks. Good shit Thor.

Everything was cooked with curry until the news dropped earlier this month that Iceland’s economy was even more fucked the fuck up than ours. How the hell did this shit happen? I think this society was a little too liberal. Investing in automobiles powered by assfarts seems magnanimously fuel efficient but ridiculously unbuildable. Investments like the one I just mentioned would be Iceland’s undoing. Now this model country is on the brink of bankruptcy.

The sexy plot twist in all of this is how many British and Dutch officials have their life savings stashed away in Icelandic banks. A major meltdown where these customers could no longer access their money would be the moment that the biodegradable organic waste products hit the proverbial air oscillating device. There would surely have been hell to pay. I’m glad now that I didn’t pack my bags for sunny Vestmannaeyjar. It looks like the Icelanders may not have a pot to piss in.

The question I have now is how the fuck can they afford all of these vowels?

carlin

GEORGE CARLIN was always my hero. He inspired me to make being a class clown my lifelong profession. But more than being a fool CARLIN was every bit the foole. The court jester who spoke truth to power and told the court that the king had no underpants on.

CARLIN knew that he could get away with some shit that PRYOR couldn’t. CARLIN didn’t give a fuck either. Maybe he gave too much of a fuck.

You need to listen to these rants with your headphones on.

Got Lay-A-Way?

lay a way

Lay-A-Way figurine available at Black Art Visions. No, really.

The mainstream media is writing about the surge in the Lay-A-Way practice on the retail level because our economy is so fucked the fuck up that now even white is taking advantage of this. Black folks done been using Lay-A-Way since forever.

You ever heard of Rent-A-Center?

This is how the poor and disenfranchised stay winning, and by winning I of course mean losing. Interest rates and fees that are even higher than those imposed by credit cards are what the poor have had to accept in order to taste some of the high life they imagine the wealthy have access to. The poor pays nearly twice the amount for furniture and flat screen televisions that the middle class pays. For all we know the wealthy get this shit for free.

I have used Lay-A-Way many times and I am not ashamed to admit it. By the time I was too old to steal shit from stores I was buying it on Lay-A-Way. There used to be a pretty good deal on Lay-A-Way items through the TJX Corporation (Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, & A.J. Wright) until they switched up their store policies. PrA’li because of me is what I like to think.

I used to put shit on Lay-A-Way that was due to be marked down. $200 worth of shit could be held up for a month with only $20. Right before the end of the month I would take the items and do a second Lay-A-Way ticket. I had to perform some shenanigans on my side to accomplish this, but after almost 60 days those items were all marked down at least once. Some of them even received a double markdown. The double markdown is the menage a’trois of retail shopping.

For $10 in Lay-A-Way fees I was getting $200 of shit for less than a $100. Those were the days that I gave a fuck. I don’t care so much anymore because retail shopping is pretty much dead unless you can make an adventure out of the process. Now if I go into a Marshall’s or a TJ Maxx or any store I walk directly to the ‘Clearance’ section. I can always find something there without too much of a fuss and my retail addiction is satiated. I’m glad for white that they are finally finding out about Lay-A-Way. I just wish they would return the favor and teach us how to switch SKU tickets.

Is It Real Sonn, Is It Really Real?

the real

The brothers from The Real have been putting in hell’a work on these internets over the last year. When I first peeped their steez I wasn’t feeling them because they seemed to be disconnected to the subjects they were riffing on. Kind of like a comedic troupe of carpet baggers. As time has passed they have honed their craft with sharper writing and mostly making sure that every week we get a brand new video from them.

I see these dudes all around the city. They move like me, except there’s two of them. They were at the DeCon Media party and they also were in the Mark Ronson showcase. These dudes are definitly Internets Celebrities. That’s what someone called them. When Mark Ronson played the Georg Kranz classic dance hit ‘Din Daa Daa’ we all sung along. The twins told me they made a video to this song. I told them to send it to me so I could post it. The video is actually good.

I fucks with The Real now. They have a cool sense of humor. Plus, these niggas recognize that evolution begins and ends with hard work. So why not whistle while you work?
