Original Gangsta

[infinitemonkies]

Kid comes into the beer store while I'm picking out my oat soda.

He's maybe 14 tops, looks more like 9, decked out in brand-new, name-brand, high-end boutique upper-middle-class-suburbanite-white-kid gangsta wear, inculding the prerequisite headphones-bigger-than-his-actual-head.

He makes a very laughable attempt to buy a single cigar. Not laughable because he's so obviously pre-pubescent, but the way he spoke.

hizzle the drizzle, mah nizzle, fo'shizzle.

I pointed out to him he didn't sound like Snoop Dogg, he sounded like Bill Cosby.




He had no idea who Bill Cosby was, I feel old... but the clerk and I had a good laugh.

[jjllbb]

That's HILARIOUS. Bill Cosby rocks. I also love those animated videos that are on youtube House of Cosby.

When it comes to all that sizzle, nizzle fo' shizzle stuff I think it ALL sounds ridiculous. Even when it DOES sound like snoop dogg.

Hell that right there is a good enough ID check for me.

doesn't know how bill cosby is? ain't old enough to smoke

[Teskeria]

I like Bill Cosby. He can have you ROFL without using a single swear. How many so-called comedians today can do that? (other than Foxworthy and Engel sometimes)

[mikoyan29]

Bill Cosby is one of my favorites. I should get some of his comedy. I used to have it on cassette (does that make me old enough to no get ID'ed?) and I saw at some point they released it on CD....

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT CHOCOLATE CAKE FROM?
And the children that not too long ago were singing praises to me lied......
WE WANTED EGGS AND MILK BUT DAD MADE US EAT THISSSSSSSSSSSSS.....
Go to your room.
Which is where I wanted to go in the first place.

that is from Bill Cosby:Himself (filmed in the early 80's) a movie concert film that is on DVD now. ahhh the weekends, the dentist and the famous "CHILDERN have brain damage"

my now exwife and I watched the brain damage (before we had our daughter) and ROTFLOAO then had our daughter and watched it a few years later and were not laughing quite as much.

I love how Bill can make you laugh without a lot of cussing, but there were times he did to /great/ comedic effect. My favorite from his 'Bill Cosby: Himself' routine:

So I asked a guy one day, what is it about cocaine, that makes it so wonderful? And he says, "Well... it intensifies your personality." So I said well yes, but what if you're an asshole?



I also like his way of doing audience participation. During the mentioned chocolate cake routine:

Now, got to have something to go with the chocolate cake, something breakfast... GRAPEFRUIT JUICE!!
<Audience goes ewwwwww>
<Bill turns to the audience with a big grin on his face> This is not your child!!



Anyways, in regards to the OP, it's amazing the lengths kids will go to try to get alcohol or tobacco when they're obviously underage. The greater the lengths they go, the greater their chances of failing, but they don't think about that.

I'm surprised Irv hasn't beat me to this, but I couldn't resist.

"Y'see, the kids, they listen to the rap music, which gives them the brain damage. With their hippin' and their hoppin', and their bippin', and their boppin'... so they don't know what the jazz is all about! You see, Jazz is like a Jello Pudding pop — no! Actually, it's more like Kodak film — no! Actually, jazz is like the new Coke; it'll be around forever!"

Realized that it's not so much a joke as the truth in verbal exposition, huh?

If the FCC ever heard mothers, they'd take them off the air:

I'll hit you so hard I'll knock the black right off of you!

Mothers have a voice that will de-calcify your spine: "WILLIAM!"

15+ hours of Cos on my lappie... dubbed mostly from LP's & cassettes.

I had to explain to my children that when he gives away his Carroll Shelby supercar with dual everything that goes over 200MPH to George Wallace... that it wasn't to a black comedian.

Of course, if you're black and named GW growing up in the 50s & 60s you'd kind of have to become a comedian.
