Regional homilies that never quite made it into the national vernacular, #2

“If ‘buts’ and ‘ifs’ were smack and some spliffs, what a wonderful Christmas me and my boys would have, hanging out with a few ho’s in one of the vacants near North Howard, getting our high on, and maybe some ass, too.”

(West Baltimore)

    I got me some real bad boys out there makin money for me is what I heard this one homey standing by a Mercedes say to some other homey in the Starbucks parking lot Thursday at lunchtime. Good on you I thought mostly, wondering if the Bentley belonged to the other fella.

    In this war of the conscious mind
    I need some black-on-black love, baby.
    A slow grind for these changin’ times…

  3. One of these idled in the next lane from me the other day. It contained the whitest man in the world.

    At least it wasn’t a west-end headband in capri-pants, because then I would have had to break her leg in 14 places.

    Stavros Niarchos is lacing up his Piloti driving loafers, giddy as a puppy in a brand-new park over the opportunity to mow down paparazzi after a late night of clubbin’ with his girlfriend, Paris Hilton, in a new set of wheels: the 2007 Bentley Continental GTC.

  5. happyfeet says:

    I just think puppies get just as giddy in the older parks. It’s a puppy thing.

    Baltimore….brrrr. I’m less afraid to go into Basrah than some parts of Baltimore.

  7. JohnAnnArbor says:

    Lots of Detroit’s right there too, Major.

    Naahhh, Balmer ain’t nuthin’. Detroit makes Balmer look like a walk in the park.

    I pre-emptively condemn you.

    BTW, I have family stuff today, so I’m going to be coasting on the Wurtzel Insta-lanche.

    I know, happyfeet.

    Troubling.

  12. happyfeet says:

    See for real I could never get into that Wire thing. A lot cause that one guy reminded me too much of Joe Piscopo.

  13. MCPO Airdale says:

    If you are in Detroit, go to “Slow’s” for some good brisket or pulled pork. It’s about 3 blocks from old Tiger stadium. Bring your Kevlar and your favorite sidearm.

    And also the lesbian cop made me think oh brother not another lesbian cop show.

  15. Richmond is a pretty tough town. Just today, someone took my parking spot at Nordstroms!

    Actually, if I think about it, Richmond is tough enough. A clerk was abducted and killed out of that lot not too long ago.

  16. Chairman Me says:

    Whose this little mousey asian chick in the sidebar ads?

  17. Chairman Me says:

    Is anyone else jonsin’ like shit for a good roll?

  18. Chairman Me says:

    I don’t know why the offhand comment about the asian girl keeps coming up every time I leave a comment. Sorry, I’ don’t mean to creep out your blog. I’m actually leving a bunch of unrelated comments, mostlly about drugs and shit, and a wee bit ’bout politickin’.

    Don’t fuck with Baltimore. It’s been a smuggler/pirate haven since before the revolution.

    ‘Possum up a gum-stump,
    Coonie up a holler,
    Wake snake,
    June bug,
    Stole a half-a-dollar.

    Hoosier poetry, represent.
