Where's Boog-a-loo?

I have lived in the Washington Metropolitan area for most of my life, except during law school. So I am used to panhandlers AKA bums. Sometimes I give, but most of the time, I keep it moving. Now I work right near the Verizon Center and with Chinatown now a booming area of activity, there has been a rise in panhandling. Every time I step out for lunch, I'm asked for change or asked about other things...

Last week a gentleman came up and asked me, "Where's Boog-a-loo?" I just kept it moving, although my male colleague said I should have responded, "Boog-a-loo is in your mouth." LMAO.

The week before last, a guy asked me if I had 35 cents. When I shook my head, he said, "Well, do you have a boyfriend?" And you know that joker was serious? I said yes. Said clown did not appear to have any mental problems, so that could not be an excuse. But he actually tried to holla at me after he had just asked me for 35 cents. Whaaaaa? That takes some serious nerve. Note: If you want to ask a woman out, don't ask her to bum change first, joker.

That's What S/He Said! (Ray J Edition)

Do you ever see a "celebrity" or politician or someone on t.v. that just irks you? Like Bush or Cheney or Paris Hilton? Ray J is becoming one of those people for me. I hate to give Ray J anymore attention, but I have to blog some of his more recent gems. He is so desperate to be a tough, hard "thug" to overcome his image as Brandy's little brother that he will literally do or say anything. He is definitely one of the most annoying people on Earth to me.

Ray J (on himself) - "I’m the number one young independent boss of R&B. I don’t think nobody is independent in R&B but me that’s doing it on a scale like this. So I think I’m in my own lane as far as being my own CEO, executive producing my own project, and shooting my own videos. It’s all about people believing what you say, the concepts I’m touching on. People are believing it the same way people would believe Usher or R. Kelly."

Ray J (on Pac) - "We walked in one day and Faith was sitting on Pac’s lap while Pac was writing a verse. It was like, "What the f*ck is going on?" That was one of the craziest sights, dog. Faith was in Pac’s lap. I was like, "What the f*ck? I know I’m not? Is that? It can’t?" Three weeks later, “Hit ‘Em Up” came out...I always just hung out with Pac and smoked and chilled. He always used to give young n*gg*s advice to just work hard and never give up on your dreams."

Ray J (on Biggie) "I was with Big two days before he died. I smoked two or three blunts with Big. We watched a Lil Kim video. He talked to me about some real sh*t. He was gonna get on the remix for “Everything That You Want” off my album and then two days later he was dead. He invited me to his hotel....The day he died, I seen him with Puff. I tried to say what’s up to Puff, but Puff didn’t see me. Then I seen Big and he was like, "What’s up, my n*gg*." I hugged Big and the n*gg* smelled like soap. That’s all I remember. He just smelled fresh like, "Damn, he a big n*gg* but he smell like soap." (Insert blank stare)

Supermodel Gone Wild - AGAIN

Apparently supermodel Naomi Campbell got into it with POLICE at an airport in the UK and spit on an officer. Disgusting. She is fierceness personified, but these diva antics are getting a bit ridic. But I'll hold my Joker of the Week nod until the full story unfolds...

Ummmm, What? (Ho Humm News Day Edition)

I don't expect much from T-Pain. After all, he burst on to the scene with an ode to strippers climbin' a pole. But how do you put on this multi-colored Dr. Suess hat and matching vest, look in the mirror, think you look good and then come out in public and strike a pose on the red carpet? HOW? I am genuinely perplexed. This look would have even been questionable in the 80s!

AMENDMENT - Just when I thought it couldn't get worse than T-Pain, I saw this. Imagine this joker trying to buy you a drank.
