Do You Remember Billy Jo Jive


When I ask people did they read "Billy Jo Jive the super private eye" as a kid? They would look at me like I'm nuts. But, I've found him!!! I forgot about the cartoons. He was so popular back in my day. As a kid I enjoyed reading Billy Jo Jive books so much, that often I couldn't wait for the nexted caper. After all these years, I've found it and now I know it wasn't a figment of my imagination! I was beginning to wonder.

Do You remember Billy Jo Jive!! ?

Thank you PBS...



I want to thank PBS for giving me an up to date report of what is going on in Jena, LA. I’ve been reading many articles online about this case but it kept telling me things I already knew about it.
(Eddie Nicole also did a post on this a while ago click here to get info on it b/c I’m about to talk about this and you should look at the post and video so you can get up to speed on this issue-I’m too mad to play catch up today) I wanted to know what was going on today, who showed up at the protest, what was said, how did the crowd react and how did the town of Jena react to all of the people. Now granted I haven’t been home all day glued to the TV, but I can tell you after being out and about today running errands and getting back home looking for coverage of the Jena six I failed to see anything between the hours of 3pm and 6pm. I did however, see countless reports about OJ Simpson who I could give a flying f*ck about right now. Im tired of hearing about him and I refuse to entertain his situation anymore-I’m mad I even said his name!

Now back to business…

I FINALLY saw a thorough report on PBS with commentary and EVERYTHING. In the PBS report, it was said that the citizens of Jena, LA (mostly white residents) were saying that the case was giving the town a bad name, that they are “a good town with church going people” and they were saying that this has turned into a racial thing and it had been blown out of proportion (run on sentence, I know, bare with me). Ummm, ok? Let’s see, nooses were hung from a tree that the students named the “white tree” (because that’s where the white kids sat during lunch and such) and you don’t consider that “racial”? Puhlease! Ok, fine…while race does play a large factor in the case, we can omit it for a brief moment only because the fact still remains that the two parties involved in the series of events were not punished fairly. It’s been reported that the District Attorney, Reed Waites says that racism wasn’t a factor in the prosecution because there were no LA laws that were in place to give the white boys a greater punishment (the white boys only got suspended from school for what they did)-but there were laws however, to convict Michael bell of attempted murder for taking the gun away from the white boy and then beating him up. I just want to know why the white boy was not charged for attempted murder for pulling out the gun in the first place or at least charged with assault with a deadly weapon? I’m no attorney, nor am I in law school, but I took the damn LSAT-that should give me a lil' credibility, right? lol-so something I’m saying has to make sense! So with attempts to look at this from a non racial standpoint, if it were two personified fruits in this situation (apple and orange) you mean to tell me that apple who took the gun away from orange, who actually pulled it out in the first place, would be charged with attempted murder and orange would only get suspended from school for a couple of days? F*ck that! I’m mad! Man, people in New Orleans and Mississippi are still displaced and homeless from Katrina, the Jena six are being treated unfairly, I can't stand my boss, Nicole Simpson can't rap! Ok, I’m digressing, the point of this post was to discuss the coverage or lack of coverage for the Jena 6 case/protest. I’m done…you get my point! Throws macbook down and leaves the room. End scene.

Despite all of this, I’m still livin’, laughin’, and lovin’ (Mama just didn’t raise no fool) Lady A ☺

*No macbooks were harmed in the typing of this post, the author spent too much of her own money to actually harm her precious Apple…it was only stated for dramatization.

Introducing: Mr. Dontrelle Alowishus Washington (pronounced: WARSH-ing-TON)


Don't hate on my kitty kat, Dontrelle. He's cute and the new addition to me and Eddie Nicole's home. Now let's get to the business. We purposely named him Mr. Washington because I noticed that my beloved brutha's and sista's (lol) can't ever seem to pronounce words with R's in them right. Maybe its a southern thing but I find it hilarious. Have you noticed that words without R's in them seem to be placed in the word and words with R's in them seem to be omitted? Need an example, here you go:

"Girl, go wash those dishes" becomes, "Girl, go warsh those dishes"

or at church...

"We invite you to worship with us..." becomes, "We invite you to wusshup with us"
better yet, the word "church" becomes, "chuch"

or...

"Let me introduce you to Mr. Washington" becomes, "Let me introduce you to Mr. Warshington"

and last but not least, one of my personal favorites...

"I need to do some research on the computer" becomes, "I need to do some research on the compruter"

What the hell people!!?? So that's why Eddie and I decided to name the kitty Dontrelle Alowishus WARSHington because a person with the name Dontrelle Alowishus would probably pronounce their last name as Warshington!

*One more thing...big shout out to Leon over at listentoleon.net for making my soul sister Eddie Nicole the winner of his photoshop challenge-Eddie's got the graphic design skills to pay tha bills! (corny I know, but whatever!) You gotta check this dude out, he keeps me laughing everyday!

Live. Laugh. Love. Lady A :)

Crack Files: B*tch Pleazzzz-a!

Although I am not a fan of posting random homemade youtube clips. I thought this was crazy as hell. I haven't posted anything Crass on here in a while. How many times in a day do you say "Bitch Please"? I think I say it at least twice a day to at least two of my girlfriends. Those two words can mean so much in so many different ways, and our new friend below displayed this perfectly. Forget that he looks coked out and crazy, it is the way he says the second and third "Bitch Please", those are my favorites! This definitely will have a place in the Crack Files



Like every gay man, I am sure he has a stable of black and/or spanish girlfriends. He has the attitude with the head and everything. Biitch Pleeeazzz-a!
