Kornheisercranz is My Homeboy

It seems the word "winningest" was added to the American lexicon in the mid 1970s, so I guess I can't use the specialized diction of sports journalism as an excuse for why I don't know what's going on in football. I can credit NPR for translating the upcoming Superbowl into terms I can understand. Finally...

In Fair Glendale...


no kidding!

What happened to your other sock


It got tangled with my clothes in the dryer at the laundromat and came home with me. My roommate turned it into a hand puppet with mustard for eyes and used it to tell us all the things he never could on his own, like: "Hi! I'm crying mustard"

Vatos Vote to Jump in New Booty

LOS ANGELES, CA

In a landmark decision, founding members of Los Angeles' Alley Locos voted Tuesday to jump in a new booty. The new booty, known publicly only as "Flaco" has made numerous attempts at joining the obscure street gang, but was previously rejected for being a punk and a reputed ranker, gangmembers say.

Little is known about Flaco, except that he allegedly threw a rata on one homeboy and rolled up on at least one other homeboy's hayna, according to Lil' Snyper, a recently jumped-in rookie. Sources close to the gang's main head, Payaso, claim that Flaco has since been sufficiently schooled and is now down for the neighborhood.

While Payaso and other high-ranking officials seem confident of Flaco's loyalty, others remain skeptical, citing numerous occasions on which he has been seen "punking out" and "crying like a little bitch."

Insiders say Payaso consulted frequently with veteranos, several of whom were in attendance at the actual procedings, during the weeks leading up to the vote. They were reportedly in support of Payaso's decision, noting the longstanding tradition of jumping new booties out "nasty style" if they ranked out.

The controversial decision sparked excitement among members of rival gangs who anticipate catching Flaco slipping, said one area man. Flaco was not available for comment, however in a statement released early Wednesday, Flaco's representatives insisted that he is down for his and should be expected to come up through the gang's ranks as fast as any of the recently initiated little homies.
