Tag: Blogger Exhibiting Atypical Behavior

-
Michael J. West of Pop Musicology has tagged me to ask the question: What are 6 things about me that are sort of weird? Well, it turns out that I did this tag back in July and I don't think that my "weirdness" has changed much since.

Check it out: Game Of Tag: I'm it!

Why the picture? Well, who was more atypical in his behavior than Miles Davis? Peace~

HAHA. I was going to comment on how funny I thought your tendencies were - but I see that I already did back in JULY. To top is off - I stole the idea and posted it on my site (back in July) without even being tagged.
BTW - How are you and the wife in '07? Great I hope.
It was good to stop by the blog - I miss blogging with the new job.

Dagnabbit! And I even commented on the original. Either my memory is short, or I need to pay better attention. *Hangs my head* I knew I shouldn't have smoked pot in college.

Speaking of music, I've been listening to Leadbelly, king of the 12 string guitar. Thanks to my brother I discovered him.

That's cool! I love the Blues. I don't have any Leadbelly though. I'll have to check it out. Have a great weekend!

Everything about Miles was cool, and inimitable (is that a word?). While our names were Kilometres, his was... Miles. How cool is that?

Thami, it's good to see you here.

I know Thami through Kojo, whose poem "word speaks" some of you might have read on my blog.

So. Of course I walked out of work yesterday expecting to see the sun that you sent me - and wouldn't you know that someone else sent a few clouds to block its view. Maybe some other time. :)

Rethabile-
That tidbit about Miles is very cool. :)You know, I thought that Thami had something to do with Poéfrika.

Dance-
I'm sorry to hear that. I'll speak to the Sun later today to see what the problem was. :)

Byg-
Thanks! I'll check it out.

Mwabi-
I don't know why either, but it's fun. :)

DC Legend: Chicken Wings & Mumbo Sauce

-
Image
Mumbo Jumbo Noun. 1. Confusing or incomprehensible language or activity. 2. An obscure ritual or incantation. [Mandingo origin.] American Heritage Dictionary Of the English Language Mumbo sauce? Anyone who has ever traveled east of the Anacostia River has heard the term, Mumbo Sauce. What do I mean by east of the river? I mean if you have ventured anywhere near Benning Road, Wheeler Road, Southern Avenue, or Minnesota Avenue in North/Southeast Washington, D.C. There is no way that you can go into any Korean owned and operated “Kerry-Out” [ trans. Carry-Out food ] in DC and not hear someone order french fries with chicken wings and Mumbo Sauce. Impossible! Some like it on the chicken and others (like me) like it on the side. I’ve always thought of Mumbo Sauce as a DC thang, but where did it really come from?  Actually, Mumbo Sauce originated on Chicago's Southside in the early 1950s by a man named Argia B. Collins, who was known for his famous ribs and barbeque Mumbo Sauce. N...

Remembering Linda Pollin

I grew up in the  Linda Pollin Memorial Housing Projects.   First of all, I did not know that it was built in memory of Abe Pollin's daughter.  In fact, I didn't even know the name, Abe Pollin.  I was a child, so I thought it was just a name given to the apartments.  At the time, my siblings and I had no idea that we lived in a housing project.  Well, the complex had a swimming pool, and the grounds were well kept. Also, it didn't resemble the well known surrounding projects like  Valley Green , Condon Terrace , or Wahler Place . The manager was Ms. Royster who was sort of a no-nonsense type of landlord based on the conversations I heard from grownups.  However, she seemed nice; plus, we all played with and knew her son, John. Well, although Mr. Pollin passed away back in 2009, I would still like to thank him for building the "LP" as we used to call it.  When I became old enough to learn that it was built by Mr. Pollin to honor his ...

Frank Brown (A.K.A. Uncle Ben???)

Did you know that Uncle Ben was a real person? We really don't care who is fact or fiction when we want some rice to go with those red beans or peas. We just want to eat, right? Well, Uncle Ben was a African American rice farmer from Texas who won many prizes for his methods and quality in growing rice. I know that most of us think of Asia when it comes to the cultivation and quality of rice, but there was a region in West Africa that Europeans called the "Rice Coast" near Sierra Leone. That area was a strategic focus during the slave trade in the late 1760's because rice was becoming a fast growing industry in America. Uncle Ben's ancestors were most likely victims of the rice boom. Anyway, Uncle Ben's reputation grew and his rice soon became the standard in which all rice would be measured. How did his face get on the box? Did he start his own company? Well, no. That's not even his face on the box. The face on the box was a man from Chicago named Frank B...
