DH’s response to that car thread is hysterical too! ROFL!
m4l – aw man come on! have a heart!
I picture this little old lady who is like 70 and can barely move around(sure there’s an argument here maybe she shouldn’t drive) trying to park and this young “newbie” robs her of the spot to be venegful and “teach that old lady a lesson”. Sure the little old lady was rude or nuts to take the spot away in the first place, but come on!
hahaha that person got what they bargained for I suppose. am sure that old lady is old school brooklyn
gemini10, after the stunt that lady pulled, “old” is not good enough reason to let her off the hook cause she’s acting like a child.
Mornin’ Asshats! Thanks for the nod to the Hip Hop discussion Biffy 🙂
Dave, I read your response on that keyed car post…funny!
DIBS, think I’m giving some great advice on that car forum.
Dibs – I thought the same thing – but come on – it’s an old lady
Biff – thanks for this I had no idea he was born in the UK – good trivia!!!
Indeed, especially after yesterday’s Clinton Hill too white thread.
“Keyed Car Incident” thread in Forum might be fun.
Today’s FGVOTD follows on the heels of a hip hop discussion in yesterday’s Open Thread.
This video features Marvin Young, better known as Young MC, who was born in England and raised in Queens. From Wiki:
In 1989, Young rose to prominence with his hit “Bust a Move”…which won the second (and last ever) Grammy Award for “Best Rap Recording” at the 1990 Grammy Awards, during the golden age of hip hop. His Grammy acceptance speech was interrupted by Flavor Flav of fellow nominees Public Enemy, who ran on stage and mockingly congratulated him for his win. The bass line of the song was provided by Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers fame, with backing vocals sung by Stevie Wonder’s studio background vocalist Crystal Blake…In addition to producing the hit “Bust a Move”, Young MC was also an accomplished songwriter, having co-written the hits “Wild Thing” and “Funky Cold Medina” for Tone Loc.
