Dressing Vs Stuffing, Decided
I wasn’t even aware that people referred to stuffing as “dressing” until…shit, I don’t know when. Maybe I was 13 or 21 or something. Either way, I’d been on Earth for a while before I ever heard that shit. Apparently, as I learned on VSB yesterday, there are people who had the exact opposite experience.…

Michael Jordan Fires Shots, President Obama Claps Back, Says "I Actually Do My Job, Bitch"
It’s very possible that MJ and Obama are chopping it up in some private back room at Burgatory right now, smoking blunts and drinking cookie dough milkshakes. Again, this is very possible. But, after seeing the jabs they’ve been giving each other for the past week, it might be a bit colder in Chicago than we…

Thanksgiving Foods You Won't Eat Unless You're Absolutely, Positively Sure Of Who Made Them
It’s November. And since it’s November, Thanksgiving — my favorite holiday — is right around the corner. Which means many of us will be traveling to or hosting family soon, and have already started making plans and arrangements. And, while determining things like “Is Uncle Frank bringing his kids?” and “Who’s picking Keisha up from…

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood Ep. 8 Recap: The Return of #bae Moniece
In case the title didn’t inform you, I’m here for Moniece. Granted, its 99 percent all fun and games. If I ran into her in real life, I PRAY that I’d have the sense to turn around and run like Usain Bolt. But, I know me. Which means, I’d probably end up on a date…

Dear Chris Brown: People Will Get Over You And Rihanna If You Allow Them To Get Over You And Rihanna
Hey Breezy. How are you today? I know you didn’t ask, but I’m doing fine. It was cold as balls last weekend in Pittsburgh, but it seems to be warming up, and I’m enjoying this nice fall day. BTW, why do we say “cold as balls”? Aren’t balls typically warm? I mean, even when it’s…

Shit Bougie Black People Love: 24. Bottomless Mimosas
It’s well-established that Bougie Black People (BBP) are alcoholics who invented things like “the day party” and “the Scandal watch party” and “the Congressional Black Caucus” just so they’d have more opportunities to drink. But, to truly understand BBP, you need to understand their drink of choice, and why their drink of choice is their drink…

Sean Kory Will Take Your Breath Away…When You Hear About How Incredibly Dumb His Actual Crime Was
Apparently the internet (and by “the internet” I mean “women” and by “women” I mean “the thirsty women of the internet”) is all aflutter over Sean Kory, who has taken Jeremy Meeks’ place as everyone’s favorite mugshot guy. No need to hate. If the thirsty men of the internet can have Jhonni Blaze and Erica…

The Problem With Girls Like Lena Dunham
There are a lot of reasons not to like Lena Dunham. The way she’s chosen to cast Girls isn’t one of them. Dunham is one of those people most folks either love or hate; she’s seated squarely in the cross hairs of many writers of color. Personally, I don’t really care for her writing, which is…

Being A Husband Means You Kill The Maggots
Like many other public speakers, the pastor at my church loves to use metaphors and analogies when he speaks. A reading from scripture where Jesus played pick-up basketball with Paul is really a lesson about sacrifice. A story about that time John the Baptist got sick after eating too much kettle corn is really an…

The "When Was The Last Time Your Parents Beat Your Ass" Roundtable
Today is Halloween. Which means many of us are going to go to ridiculous lengths to be as quasi scary as possible today. Because we’re all adults, and we’re not scared of shit. (Well, we’re not scared of shit except for this.) But there was a time when belts and switches and rulers and Hot…
