July 25, 201113 yr I went to the Dominican Day parade. It was different, very different. When and where? I've always wanted to go to the one in NYC. And it was different like how? I'm assuming "wild and crazy" different because I know a few Domincan females and they're....ummm...sexually liberated. I don't know what it is in the Carribean Sea, but a lot of 'em seem to be that way. In the BX. On the Concourse. Being PR, i kept thinking to myself, "Bitch, why did you let Mr. & Mrs. Thing 2 talk you into this?!" Thing 2 is Domincan and grew up in the BX, right by Yankee stadium, so we were just going to his parents party. When we got to his parents house it was like Santo Domingo had exploded in the BX. Next thing I know, I had a bowl of platano Sancocho with Habaneros, Jalapenos & hot sauce and I was feeling good. His mother knows how to make spicy food - the right way! Although i think one of those women tried to poison me and my nephew and the other PR lady there. The pescado con coco made sick as hell. I hadnt planned on going to the parade as I know I would probably end up in an argument. The parade itself, is very different than the PR parade. It's more like a street fair. It was big and grand like our parade. Dominicans in general are hot lil things. I always tease Mr. & Mrs. thing about only having one kid after being together for damn near 9 years, the way Mrs. Thing 2 put it on Thing 2. Have you ever been to DR? The women on the beach look like they are going to beauty pageants. They are trying to catch and marry a man to get the hell of that island.
July 31, 201113 yr I think Mcdonald's cheeseburgers taste good (Wendy's - even better) I've only seen half of a Star Wars movie I watch Toddlers and Tiaras (that was tough admitting) I don't like It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia I don't like vacationing, or going near, Southern Florida (too hot) I like Top 40 Pop hits
August 1, 201113 yr I like the 3D animated Barbie movies I returned a Barbie movie to Schlockbuster once & rented a Lara Croft movie. I am assuming the clerk thought "breast fetish freak"..... BTW, competitive cheerleading is actually pretty awesome. Kinda like Pro Wrestling but a totally different vibe.

October 24, 201113 yr Got my jalapeno Gouda cheese, Hot and Spicy cheez-its, Fruit and I'm ready for the Real Housewives finale part 2.
October 24, 201113 yr That video is *NOT* an exaggeration in the least. Their only error was omitting a scene from that Irish public housing complex north of Charleston. They don't extend the green line there FOR A REASON.

October 24, 201113 yr Influence and "Overrated" can be quite different in this subjective-turned-to-music-lord-knows-why thread. The Beatles were without question one of the most influential bands in history. Elvis may have pioneered black music into white homes but the Beatles took it up a notch with unique, unparalleled songwriting. Of course, that isn't to say that many people (such as myself) can still say the Beatles were overrated as "rated" to begin with is perception. I never cared for their songs nor melodies. That doesn't imply those songs/melodies weren't globally, musically influential. I don't care for them and thus, I find them overrated in terms of how I see people perceive their songs. And I'm not talking their commercial hits. The same exact argument can be made for Michael Jackson, Elvis, etc. but I actually enjoy Michael Jackson and Elvis, meh. I think the Beatles were overrated after Sergeant Pepper and they developed what I call SDS (shit-don't-stink) Syndrome at that point. They figured they could record anything and it would sell. The same affliction has struck REM, Prince, and the Stones at different points in their careers. I'd include Springsteen, but IMO he honestly doesn't care how some of his stuff sells. He'd be just as happy being another Woodie Guthrie, playing his tunes without a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out. I actually respect him for that, even though I'm not a fan of his folkier stuff and I'm a huge fan of his more mainstream songs. However, I would not call the Beatles "overrated" based on their earlier music and based on the fact that Lennon and McCartney wrote most of their songs. Elvis Presley, on the other hand, was way overrated. There were no doubt hundreds of guys in the South that could have been him. He's the one Colonel Parker (the true genius behind the Elvis phenomenon) picked. Elvis wasn't the Beatles of his time, he was the Monkees.
October 24, 201113 yr The Beatles are definitely overrated. Sgt Pepper is a decent record, but it is half filler tracks like Lovely Rita Meter Maid. It's crushed in every respect except unit sales by The Velvet Underground's first record, which was released at the same time. The Beach Boys Smile is finally being released in a few weeks after a 43-year delay, which again was infinitely more creative than any Beatles album. I do really like I am the Walrus, but it's not on Sgt Pepper.
November 2, 201113 yr I wasn't aware Kim Kardashian was married. Apparently it was a big deal I guess.
November 2, 201113 yr I wasn't aware Kim Kardashian was married. Apparently it was a big deal I guess. Child this was a "joke" from the start. We were all saying, "Kim and another brotha. How long will this last?"
November 2, 201113 yr I wasn't aware Kim Kardashian was married. Apparently it was a big deal I guess. The "wedding as reality show" had already been done by Bam Margera.....much better.
November 2, 201113 yr On the real, though...UrbanOhio is my cultural blasphemy. I do not go around telling people I post on here! LOL
November 3, 201113 yr OK, I think I understand the concept of this thread, and I've got one: I never saw any reason for all of the hype over Quentin Tarantino's movies. It seemed like a giant bandwagon in the '90s. Maybe I'm just too obtuse to "get" what he's getting at, but I thought that the two films which I did see were too dependent on shock value, and not congruent with reality - as if they were the fantasies of an outsider. They both also followed the same formula to a tee.
November 3, 201113 yr ^ ..same here. I think back to something like Kubrick's Clockwork Orange, which was pretty violent (for its time, and the violence was noted when the movie came out), but there where other things going on, too, that made it an interesting movie.
December 25, 201113 yr I love the show, "The Big Bang Theory". The intelligence and wit of Sheldon that gets inevitably contrasted by his social ineptitude cracks me up. The Big Bang Theory - Sheldon the Gangsta
December 26, 201113 yr ^ ..same here. I think back to something like Kubrick's Clockwork Orange, which was pretty violent (for its time, and the violence was noted when the movie came out), but there where other things going on, too, that made it an interesting movie. I read Clockwork Orange before I saw the film, and was impressed at how well Kubrick used visuals to convey the whole chaotic, disordered nature of what I had read.
January 20, 201213 yr Things 1, 1.2 & 2 had the audacity to call me Bouge-Ghetto because I put hot sauce on my Jalapeno potato chips. I you have not tried the Lay's Kettle Jalapeno chips yet, I suggest you do!!
January 21, 201213 yr This mom looks to be 24 at the oldest, with 8 kids and I'm seeing at least two daddies...
February 1, 201213 yr Zombie Drag Queens of the RuPocalypse..... http://www.logotv.com/video/episode-1-season-4-rupocalypse-now/1677963/playlist.jhtml#vid=729199
April 3, 201213 yr Zombie Drag Queens of the RuPocalypse..... http://www.logotv.com/video/episode-1-season-4-rupocalypse-now/1677963/playlist.jhtml#vid=729199 I love this show and UnTucked! Until last week I thought Game of Thrones was a video game. Lord
January 29, 201312 yr Rupauls Drag Race is back and the shade is thick! This may be my favorite season! This is going to be a mess!
January 29, 201312 yr Do little kid shows count? Even (Especially?) if mommy and I make comments which would be unsuitable it Ardyn could understand them? If so, check out "Star" on the Sprout Network's nighttime show and tell me SpongeBob and Patrick didn't reproduce..... And then there's "Amish Mafia"....a symbol of the bar Richard Branson searched for in his bathyscaphe.
January 29, 201312 yr I just had to pull off on the Sissonville, WVa exit this past weekend to look around...... kind of disappointed to not find anyone muddin'
January 29, 201312 yr I just had to pull off on the Sissonville, WVa exit this past weekend to look around...... kind of disappointed to not find anyone muddin' I dont know which show is worse, This or Honey Boo Boo Child?
January 29, 201312 yr Buckwild is worse because it actually tempts me to watch. Cultural blasphemy! I can only see so much Honey Boo Boo before I am quite bored.
January 30, 201312 yr I just had to pull off on the Sissonville, WVa exit this past weekend to look around...... kind of disappointed to not find anyone muddin' I dont know which show is worse, This or Honey Boo Boo Child? The South Park episode where Branson sought the bar featured HBB eventually having a fat kid fight with Eric Cartman. Parker and Stone may currently be the sharpest of our cultural satirists.
July 21, 201311 yr CBC we finally get to see the Guidice vs Gorga fight! :clap: And of course Teresa will blame everyone else for this!
July 22, 201311 yr Melissa is a gold digger but Teresa is a straight psycho... I don't think Melissa is a gold digger. I think she loves her husband and she is making her own money. Since season 1 and the Danielle issue, I said Teresa is crazy as phuck! Now it's all come out.
