Completely disagree. Fiddy is an ape with no mic skills at all (he doesn't even attempt to dance or at least mug somewhat rhythmically in his videos. The best he can manage is a vauge lurch). Kanye, at the very least, made the famous statement "George Bush doesn't care about black people." In addition, I've enjoyed both of his albums and look forward to the new one. And I really don't give a shit what Clem has to say about that, so he can just shut the fuck up. I don't think dance moves and a half ass political statement are qualifiers for talent. Chuck D never had to moonwalk or look like MC Hammer for credibility. Both of them are full of shit, but Kanye is a bit more in the bubble gum camp.

Kanye did a spot on Entourage playing himself and couldn't even pull that off.

MG, must be from South Carolina.

Shit, I've taken many of recommendations from Mr. Jackson. R.I.P.

haha On a serious note, she did get applause after the answer.

Salute!

Hmm - obviously fake. I thought there was only one of those. C'mon, there are so many rural banks, they had to hire him as Regional Branch Manager. You may not know this, but banks in Ghana are now competing over how many ATMs they offer their customers and how convenient they are. Community wells are an especially popular and convenient location. Unfortunately now that Catesta has replied, he's going to a LOT of these offers. But hey, he's going to have as much coin as Wynton Marsalis! The email was sent to an account I rarely use, I'll probably end up closing it. Not that I couldn't use the money, but I like to share the wealth and give someone else a chance.

Only in fives and twenties please.

Very true. And when you put it that way, there are some days it seems I never leave home.

Hey, nice score, should be around 1.1 million and just in time for vacation. May I suggest making a small donation to the church of latter-day catesta's?

Dear friend, It is nice and wonderful to make contact with you today. As a matter of fact I am Mr. Larry K. Koranteng, I am currently working with One of the Rural Banks in Ghana as a regional branch manager. And I want to trust you with this money (US$2.8 million) for investment in your country. Presently, I am in grip of funds "Two Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars" (US$2.8 million) ready available for you and I to share, and I am seeking for your cooperation to transfer this money to your place. I realized this money as part of unclaimed deposited funds since 2002 in our Bank. Immediately when I realized these funds $2.8m, I placed it on Sundry Escrow Account here in our bank without beneficiary information and no person knows about this money. Now I chose you to be my partner and I want this money to be transferred to your bank account in your country or any where of your choice when apply to our Bank head-office as the beneficiary of this fund. And I will send you every information about this transaction. Sincerely, I am ready to give you 40% of the US$2.8m while 60% will be for me, as soon as this money (US$2.8m) is transferred into your bank account. This is bank to bank transfer, therefore, I assure you there is no problem in this transaction. Please urgently reply me now for details. Best regards, Larry K. Koranteng I sent an email back telling them I would gladly assist, but my normal fee of $50,000 must be paid an advance. The money is transferred bank to bank so I assured him there would be no problem.

This means Checkpoint Chickie is active once again! Good for you guys, Jim. A healthy downtown is the best thing.

It is very good, not all cheesy like if a news reporter was the one doing it.

Now they should take the 50 grand and just have big ass keg party with organissimo providing the entertainment.

Yeah, that Cleveland episode looks like a good one. I caught the episode when he was stuck in Beirut. That was pretty crazy.

You already know how I feel, bro.

Shit, it's close and I see someone just made a last minute entry. What the hell is Pineville Lousiana thinking? Like they have a chance.

Bourdain is a wise ass with a hardcore edge and comes off much more genuine than most celebrity chefs. He often takes shots at people like Rachael Ray and Emeril which is humorous to say the least. I watched his NYC episode yesterday which included a segment where he and the guy who hosts the show 7/4 is talking about went to Ali's Kebab Café in Astoria.

"This is not a reunion," said Roth, 51. "This is a whole new band." "It is totally blowing our minds and I think it will yours, too," said Eddie Van Halen, 52. "It's better than it's ever been." It's a shame Eddie's fat kid is taking Anthony's place. Sorry, didn't mean to go off topic, but...

I've watched it a few times. I'm not that open minded and dude gets on my nerves a little, but it's not a bad show. I much prefer Anthony Bourdain's show "No Reservations". I like a guy that complains about his head hurting from lack of oxygen while at the top of a mountain in Shanghai and than proceeds to light a cigarette.

Looks like a nice place. Vote done, but I'd like a street named after me. That's how it works in NY, you know.

what an idea! yeah, and a brush to clean the toilet, too... >> flush! <<

Some people are already sucking their music.
