How Gangsta Are You?

I have street cred, people.  I know just about every word of Warren G.'s 1994 album "Regulate".  One of my favorite rap songs is "Dear Mama" by Tupac.  My favorite show?  The First 48.  Love it.  The female detective from Memphis, Caroline Mason, is my girl.  She even  asked to have our picture taken together outside of Sears when we went shopping together the other day.  I heart you, CM!

People are always trying to take away my gangsta card, though.  They doubt I'm for real.  They have the nerve to suggest I wouldn't last seconds out on "the streets".  My point today is to prove to them all that I am gangsta to the core.

Kind of like Michael Bolton here, who, by the way, uses some bad words in the clip. (My mother-in-law reads this blog.)

 
 
These are just SOME of the reasons I deserve my gangsta card.  How many of these do YOU do?

#1: I eat chocolate chip cookies RIGHT AFTER they’re taken out of the oven. My mouth is invincible! I could snack on fire if I wanted!

#2: I regularly put food in the oven before it is pre-heated. "You WILL take this chicken and you will take it NOW! Shut that mouth!" (Mouth = oven door)

#3: I put germs in their place by opening and shutting public bathroom stall doors with my shoe. Did you hear me? WITH MY SHOE.

#4: I decide when I’m finished drying my hands in a public bathroom. I am NOT FAZED by the blowing of the hand drier and will straight up WALK OUT of that bathroom while it’s still sounding its mouth off.

#5: When I roll up to the drive-through cashier, I sometimes keep my sunglasses on. For at least a minute (even for 2 seconds), I want them to think Usher has arrived to get his Southwest Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette at McDonald’s.

#6: I let the gas tank pump its gas by itself into my car. I don’t have time to be standing beside my car while it’s getting its drink on! This lady is IMPORTANT!

#7: I can carry 10 bags or more  of groceries into the house all at once by lining the PLASTIC bags (that’s right! I said *plastic!) along my arms.  Have you seen my guns?  I'm talking about muscles, baby!

#8: I don’t use coupons unless the store tapes one on something FOR ME. You want me to save money, then YOU cut them out and tape it on my toilet paper! THAT’S RIGHT!

#9: I can parallel park better than you. You don’t think so? MEET ME OUTSIDE!

#10: I can flash gangsta signs. Okay, just the signs for “more”, “thank you” and “happy” that I used with my sons when they were babies, but I’m ready to learn more. I could learn more! You think I’m playin’?

*I recycle.  So gangsta!
 
 
0-3: Lil' Bow-Wow status-->You are a lightweight.  Proceed to the nearest Chuck E. Cheese and quit actin' like you can play the gangsta game.

4-6: Jay-Z status--> You will be allowed to carry your gangsta card for a probationary period.  If we hear that you wait for the oven to preheat or hit the curb parallel parking, it will be revoked.

7-10: Eazy-E status--> You can carry your gangsta card with no questions asked AND get to get into the Thuggish Ruggish Ball for free!
 

Which kind of a gangsta are you?

You's hard, sista!! I do the grocery bag thing, too - straight up gangsta! Duces!

I totally embarrassed my 15 year old daughter by telling her in front of her friends I could chunk da deuce (even though I'm only vaguely aware of what it is). And I know Fifty Cents, as in the rapper, is pronounced Fitty, courtesy of my students. Like you, I'm pretty gangsta myself...

when something is way too hot for your mouth, do you open it very wide like that will help? with your lips still closed? so the inferno of steam can go even higher in your mouth? THAT would be gangsta.

Yes, you are in fact very gangsta. I had no idea you were so badass.

SERIOUSLY!!!

MEET ME OUTSIDE!!!

:-D

You are hardcore to the max. I too put my food in the oven before it's ready and eat cookies right after they've been pulled out. To add to that, I grab hot plates out of the microwave with my bare hand. I don't need no pot holder! Represent!

Mama Insomnia said... [Reply]

Seriously, you need a Gangsta name. And that means:
1.) adding unnecessary letters to your name but still pronouncing it the same way. (silent letters are SOOO gangsta)
-or-
2.)adding a symbol or punctuation to your name.

I suggest going with Qkuell!

You are definitely badass!

Saimi said... [Reply]

Oh MY GOSH, this post defines me! I never knew I could be a gangster but after reading your post, I think I am...Can we wear red together, or is it blue..I just don't know.

Want to join my Snuggie gang, The Snuggalos?

mama marchand said... [Reply]

HILARIOUS. Oh, how I love reading your posts & tweets. :D

Kimberly said... [Reply]

Hilarious. I just ate blueberry muffins straight out of the oven... And burned the heck out of my tongue. Guess I'm not as gangsta as you. ;)

On a more positive note, I DID stick those suckers in the oven as soon as I finished pouring the batter into the cups-- no waiting for the preheat to finish for me!

Kristin said... [Reply]

Wow! You are straight up, hard core! Way to put hose germs in their place! And 10 BAGS AT ONCE! I'm glad I know not to mess with you!!!

thoughtsappear said... [Reply]

Did someone say Regulate? It was a clear, balck night, a clear white moon, Warren G was on the streets, trying to consume...

Eating cookies right from the oven is the best way to eat them. I also carry in grocery bags 10 at time. Who wants to make multiple trips?

Joanna said... [Reply]

For shiz you're gangsta! I'm more of a crazy gangsta - I'll park my tire on the curb and leave it I'm so far off the hook.

I can't do gang signs - wonder if my fingers are "special"? I can flip people off but that's as hard core as I can get. Cuz that's how I roll.

Crystal Pistol said... [Reply]

I just watched Office Space this weekend. A classic fo sho!

You funny, girl!

thatnolenchick said... [Reply]

I think you've moved beyond Gangsta into Chuck Norris. The coupon thing pushed you over the edge. Or rather, pushed the edge out from under you. Because you're Chuck Norris. You don't move.

Girl you need a chain. Here is how gansta I am...Biz Markie "Girl you got what I need...."

Silver Strands said... [Reply]

I'm so gansta....I eat caramel popcorn with a GRILL* in my mouth. And I tell my dentist to SUCK IT** when he tells me to stop.

**I actually suck on his slobber sucker thingy so I don't drool on myself.

One of my favorite posts by far! LOVE IT! Although, I must admit, I don't have much gangsta cred - despite how totally gangsta my posts are.

Deborah said... [Reply]

I don't clean my oven! That is totally gangsta.

Oh . . . and my knickers do not match my bra. Rebel!

I have a long way to go before I reach your status. I'm trying!

Cindi said... [Reply]

LoL! Too funny.

I'm not even close. There's just some of us who can't pull of "girl fren". LoL. See? :)

KLZ said... [Reply]

Are you sure you're gangsta and not - you know - Chuck Norris?

Jack said... [Reply]

I'll take that parallel parking challenge, anywhere, any time- provided that there is a curb. ;)

Leighann said... [Reply]

K to the e double LL eeee why.

Let me sing it to you right.
You are one fly mama sitting up high.
Rockin' gangsta bling and shiny things.
Recognize!

Yvonne said... [Reply]

Oven? Who puts them in the oven? I eat those cookies raw baby! That's how I roll! I have my gangsta card in my purse to prove it. muahahahaha!

W.C.Camp said... [Reply]

I'm not really trying to be a gangsta' but once my pants slip under my gut, no belt known to mankind can keep my silky parachute pants North of the Grand Canyon! W.C.C.

Jessica @ My Simply Complicated said... [Reply]

I definitely thought I was higher up on the gangsta scale than I truly am. I feel like I'm letting the world down. I mean, this was just SO unexpected.

I really AM gangsta. Looks like I'm going to have to start working harder to prove that!

Gotta run...chocolate chip cookies are JUST about done and I'm going to shove about 10 in my mouth...

han said... [Reply]
