Your Regularly Scheduled Program…

So I was going to post tonight after these dranks. But then I realized the problem. I have enough mental capacity in the tank to know I think I’m about to kill it tonight, but in reality it would turn out more like this:

No one wants that.

So I’ve got a few things on deck that might hit tomorrow, otherwise see you on Man Up Monday.

Reviews of Shows I Don’t Watch: The Voice

I was looking through my hilarious archives, (Like THIS joint. That’s just good life advice) and realized that we used to do a lot of TV show reviews on the site. I stopped doing it, but I still watch a LOT of damn tv, so I decided to bring it back. Then I realized, I don’t actually watch the shows people care about. Lake used to watch those soft ass shows that people want to discuss. So I’m starting something new. Reviews of shows I don’t actually watch.

Let’s start with the Voice.

I only know three out of those four people, one only in name. But it does remind me that C-Lo used to be in Goodie Mob, which  was a really great, thugged out ATL group.

No sequins there. Although those shorts are pretty fashionably adventurous for a rap group when C-Lo assumes that stance.

So the Voice is a show where the judges face backward while someone sings. They are judging the singer only by their voice, not by what they look like. So the judges create teams by sound, so they might end up with someone who might not look like a star but may sound like one. Just like when you are lost and driving your car, apparently you can only listen when you concentrate really hard as opposed to when you normally listen. You’ve got to squint and strain to make sure you can hear.

The funny thing is this would be a great concept if they let it play all the way out. Imagine how big of a finale they would have if you really judged just one voice for the entire season and didn’t get to see them until you picked a finalist then had to work with it. THAT would be a challenge. Instead, as soon as they get past the first round it basically turns into American Idol with teams, also known as X-Factor. (Which I also don’t watch).

The crazy thing is that the teams end up being pretty obvious. If you are a rocker, you pick Adam. Country, Blake. If you can really sing big, you go with Christina. And if you are crazy nut job, you go with C-Lo.

Aren’t these shows all the same? Isn’t someone the mean one like Simon Cowell if Simon Cowell isn’t available? How many of these shows do we really need. Can we really find four completely unknown singers a year and pretend like they are going to be stars? Actually that doesn’t even matter. I’m completely down with the show. Why? Because it allows C-Lo to do this.

Any show where the producer approves C-Lo to stroke a white fuzzy cat in every interview as if he is plotting to take over the world is okay with me. He looks so serious about it too. Actually, I think the cat actually looks more serious than he does. In fact, maybe the cat is the mean judge, and C-Lo is just his pawn, controlled by telepathy.

So without watching this show, I’m able to determine it is about an evil cat who is trying to take over the world using C-Lo as his pawn.  If someone can confirm that for me, I’ll watch it.

This is fun. I need to not watch a few more shows.

Every Once In A While We All Need A Reminder The World Is Jacked Up

We all want to believe the world is a pretty friendly place. As long as you are one of the good guys, everything is okay. Usually that is true. But every now and then we all need a reminder that the MAN will take out one or a few individuals for the common good.

Like this:

I know my boy H8torade likes to do his WTF? moments, but that is a REAL WTF moment. There is literally a perch at the top of the REAL Superbowl stadium with a stone cold killer waiting for someone to make a wrong move. Everyone should be on notice that if you go streaking at the Super Bowl, you won’t just get tackled by a member of glorified mall security, someone is going to take you out like he’s camping out in a game of Call of Duty.

I really feel like they should tell us when the stakes are this high when you try something. Like, if you jump the White House fence, you know you will not make it to the doorbell without catching at least a shot in the leg and a bite in the arse from an attack dog.

But you know that when you jump the fence. You aren’t really interested in personal freedom and continuing life at that point. So you’ve been warned. No jokes at the Super Bowl, they’ll take your ass out. If anyone knows where else they have snipers posted, can you let a brother know? I’m kinda a dick sometimes, I don’t want to get shot over some bullshit.

Us + Them: The Friend Zone

As I go through life and encounter more people and their relationships I’ve learned a lot of things. First, men always talk about how they don’t understand women. I’ll attribute that to the differences in the way men and women are wired. That’s the whole Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus thing. It’s been covered. But experience has taught me something much more valuable.

Women have no idea what goes on inside of the head of a Man.

No facking clue.

So I originally thought of this as a dating advice column, but that isn’t really what this is. It is more a man facts column based on things that happen in relationships. So ladies, feel free to drop questions in the comments or tweet them to me @uvtblog. Ask anything. I promise to tell the truth.

So let’s start at the beginning. “The Friend Zone”.

The friend zone is actually a social construct made by women. It is a euphemism for “dudes I don’t want to fack, but might give me a ride to the airport if I need one”. Guys can fall into the friend zone for a lot of reasons. 1. They never had a shot. 2. They we’re cool enough or good looking enough to get in the door, but a chick isn’t willing to add one to her personal sex “body count” because he’s too corny/soft/weird/not long term to make it worth it. 3. Women can actually see men as a friend and don’t dictate their personal relationships with the opposite sex based on whether or not they want to have sex with that person. 4. Your punk ass has clearly conveyed to this chick that you will let her get away with anything.

I say all that to say this:

There is one reason “The Friend Zone” works. Because men who have women as friends are only friends with them for one reason.

Because they want to have sex with them.

This is not up for debate. This is not a grey issue. It is 100% true 100% of the time. A Man Law not in the “oh here are some things guys shouldn’t do” sense, but in the scientific “this is always true” sense. Like fucking gravity.

Two things I need to address about this law. Yes, I know, I know. You know and have seen plenty of guys who will hang out with women in groups, cordial at your job, nice when they see you. You aren’t friends with that dude. You are a chick he knows. If you get personal email and calls to hang out. He wants to have sex with you. No. No. No examples. It’s true. He might not be actively pursuing it, but if given the chance to boom your shakalaka, he’ll go for the two point conversion. Every time.

That’s right ladies. You have no male friends. Just dudes who are waiting to fack. That is what makes the friend zone so diabolical. Because it tricks dudes into putting the handcuffs on themselves. A woman can make it crystal clear you have absolutely no chance in hell of getting it in. A dude always thinks there in a chance and they might as well stay in touch in case it goes down. A guy will even say he understands and is fine being friends. He’s lying.

So ladies, let this be lesson number one. You have no male friends. We’ve got one thing on our minds, Sexy, sexy sex. With you. Look into the eyes of your male “friend” next time you’re together. You’ll see it. Don’t look too hard though He might think that is the signal things have changed and try to get it in immediately. HA!

That Ain’t Right

Just realized what the bitchiest natural disaster in the world is.

Wind storm.

You aren’t going to get any respect for getting messed up by a wind storm. But that is exactly what jacked my whole situation tonight. Posting from my phone with no idea what this looks like.

Man up Monday might be my power and Internet connection…And the Philadelphia Eagles for getting blazed by the Seahawks…and Hendricks Gin for not giving me the sleep inducing buzz I was seeking when I busted those three dranks I just consumed…and Brian Orakpo for being famous enough to be IN a Geico commercial, but not famous enough to be in a commercial where they don’t say his name 3 times to tell you that yet they really want you to believe that “three time pro bowl linebacker from the Washington Redskins Brian Orakpo” should make you buy insurance.

For the record all of the above is f’n turrible. Heres to having my sh*t together ASAP.

Elephant Hunting: UPDATED!…AGAIN!

I ain’t gon lie. Now hear this….This post right here, might get me banned from UvT for the rest of my life. I’ma let you in on a little personal side of me. I’ve known Brock and Lake over a decade. I’ve been on enough adventures with them  and had enough wild times that I know what they like in women. All of you have similar tastes. I know…I know. Let me show you this chart.

Now, what you’re looking at is our personal preferences in what we like in a woman.  As you can see, Lake and Brock’s preferences are very similar.  My preferences overlap their preferences a lot as well, but as you can see my net is a little bigger….and a little lower.   That area in my circle that Brock and Lake can’t get down with? They don’t want no parts of that. That’s for me, me alone, I’m on an island with that piece…by myself, and I’m fine with that.   I like them thick!!   Now my Pops is black and my Mama is white, but she got black features.   That whole side of the family does.   That’s my cousin on the right.

Feel me?

I like ‘em like that, and I even like them thicker.  Now I don’t care what race you are, but you gotta have black features.   Juice in the caboose.  I got brainwashed for a minute out here in LA, but I finally had to cut off my last girl because I couldn’t take it.   She had a face that made you want to kiss her for 4 hours straight, but the tail looked like she had been spanked continuously for a year  by a pizza spatula.

Anyway, so I’m over my french vanilla’s spot last night and I spot this chick on the cover of Elle Magazine.

I said to myself, “that’s a nice face I need to see more.”  Caught the name and looked on the web right quick.

Meet Tara Lynn

Now she don’t have the powerful gorilla cheeks that my cousin is packing, but I could have a lot of fun with that.  I like some thick legs that I can wrestle with….

…Just hide behind the door and tackle her to the bed….

My boy is a consultant and he only works from time to time.  He calls it elephant hunting, kill a job that he could eat off of for 4 months before he gotta work again.  That’s how I look at this.   I’m not trying to snack for a minute, I’m trying to eat for a week.

Now look.  I know what you’re thinking. I see it too. She’s got a bit of a stomach. It’s a Lawry’s Salt level 7. But trust The Kid, I’d be chasing this broad around the house like Wile E Coyote chasing the Road Runner. She’d trim that joint up in a week.

So like I said, this falls outside of the intersection of Brock’s and Lake’s preferred mujer, but I know somebody feels me if you’re being honest. Don’t think it is all good though, I have limits too. If you can roll over and kill me by accident in the middle of the night, Lawry ain’t checking for you.

Ain’t enough Lawry’s Seasoned Salt in Costco to rate this one.

———————-UPDATE——————–

Ahhhhh, the folly of youth. My boy the young’n Mike Lawry is coming out of the gate swinging. As an experienced Assologist I can see the mistakes he is making from a mile away. Sometimes you have to let em learn on their own. I’m realizing that might be the burden of the Assologist…I might be entering the next phase of my tenure as the worlds leading authority on the cheeks that never smile, the father of Tailonomics, I need to give back to the kids. Sit on down right now for a quick lesson in Modern Assology.

Now young Mike might be elephant hunting, but what he doesn’t realize is that he is trying to identify a rare species that does not exist. The perfectly formed thick tail is the exclusive physical trait of the black woman. (and the occasional Asian chick that Itzdatdude from the comments finds on the internets). When you try to look for the true Whooty, you might as well be Unicorn hunting for real. It doesn’t exist, it is all just an illusion. But modern technology makes it possible. Here’s an example.

I’ll tell you what I like. I like a woman who knows what she brings to the party and is prepared to get every single possible inch out of what God gave her. This young lady has it all packed in tight. Throw on some heels and with a boot cut and suddenly the illusion is complete. You can’t let them tuck the muffin top back in and tell you it is just a muffin. You know she’s been baking her entire life and all of a sudden she can’t account for where the muffin tops all went? That metaphor lost it’s way some where in there. I say all of that to say this. C’mon man, that’s not ass, shes just got everything tucked and placed in the approximate location of ass. Like the old trick where you would show how big your bicep is by pushing it up from the other side.  I know, I know, by time you get her home and out of those jeans and find out the truth it is too late to stop, I know.

Look, I’m not gonna tell you what to like. I just want to make sure you are making the decision you think you are making. That’s my duty, I’ve got to pay it forward.

————UPDATE——…AGAIN!—————–

Ha!  I see my boy Brock is trying to son me with a Second Round TKO, LL Cool J/Cannibus styles.

Let me make one thing clear for you playas and playettes.  When it comes to assology, I am a Big Homey OG in the game.  I had a stallion so bad, when I walked through the Bronx Zoo, the silver backs used to bow in respect for those cheeks.

Also, check it.  I’ve been around the world, sowed my royal oats and have seen enough to know that the Whooty does exist, and it also comes in a variety of flavors.  Just cause you ain’t see it, don’t mean it don’t exist.  Don’t limit me to other people’s limitations.  But I don’t have to go across any country, state or city lines.  Whooties run around this city like roaches in the projects.  For example…

Jenna ain’t playing!!!  Ya heard?????

Like I said, I’m not ridiculous with mine.  My net is a little bigger, that’s all.   I put them on that Lawry’s diet and shape up program, and put them back on the street for the suckas to come sloppy seconds.  Like Red Cafe said, “I ain’t no backyard nicca, but my workout plan will make your backyard bigger.”   If I wasn’t worried about her reading this and coming knocking at my door with a cleaver, I’d put up a picture of my Philijapexican – (fill-i-juh-PEX-i-cun) Philipino + Japanese + Mexican, to show you that it is possible to be thick, firm, flat stomach, junky, in jeans, out of jeans and with no rolls.

I’ll end with this.   I mean, look, I like the slim goodies with the pretty face and with that thang pokin’ out.  But I also like a thick trunked slim bellied Secretariat.    Like I said, I have limits.  If cats flip on me at my bachelor party like Hip Hip Jorge (below), it’s time to fire the best man.

 

Ain’t enough salt in the ocean….
