Y’all remember my sore ankle, right? Well, the wonders of modern medicine(or in other words, the $18 ankle brace and medical strength Ibuprofen) have led to me feeling about 88% better than I did last week. Only problem with that is, I felt kind of guilty for feeling better since I didn’t go to work on Friday. I didn’t even have a doctor’s note, since I went to the free clinic instead of getting a real doctor’s appointment. Fuck it…y’all are probably laughing, but they gave me good advice for free. So I had to sit through 30 minutes of listening to this fat El Salvadorian lady’s children crying in Spanish because they kept throwing toys at each other in plain view of the entire lobby….It was worth it to get that free exam and advice on what to do. I still may end up seeing a real Dr. for an x-ray, but I feel a lot better now.
Due to the guilt of not having a Dr.’s note, I had to act like I was still in agony today at work. I put on a show worthy of Oscar contention. Folks are talking about Jaimee Foxx’s performance in “Ray,” but that didn’t have shit on Leon’s performance in Northeast DC today. I put on an act so pained, yet heroic, that Denzel Washington called me at 4:30 this afternoon to buy the film rights to that shit. I really think I could’ve gotten some sympathy pussy from the one fuckable co-worker there. That’s how strong my thespian skills were.
The funny shit is, once I got out of view from the office, my black ass lost the fake limp, and started walking straight, Kaiser Soze-style like in “The Usual Suspects”…LOL. It was classic. I should be ashamed, but I’m rather proud of myself right now :D
The other profound thought on my mind is…Why the FUCK do people put those shitty-ass fake spinners on their cars? I mean, really…REAL spinners are pretty much out of style now. Why in the HELL would any self-respecting person put those shitty ass tin/plastic pinwheel shits on their car? What’s bad is, I only see them on little cars like 92′ Ford Escorts or 89′ Corollas. Cars that cost less than one actual authentic spinninng rim for a luxury vehicle. The absolute worst part is that they don’t even spin like they’re supposed to. It’s like a car has to slam on the brakes and stop really hard to get those shits to spin. Then, if it’s a windy day, the car could be parked, and they’ll start spinning sporadically as the breeze blows by. That’s the type of mess that makes me get on some Bill Cosby shit and want to preach to my own people. Niggers, get it together.
Yeah, I spelled it the Klu Klux Klan way. Fuck that. I want my words to resonate in the head of any misguided jackass that thinks those fake ass pinwheel spinners are cool. That’s one to grow on, gotdammit.

Leon,
Love the Kaiser Soze bit. :) ~MsL
Bwahahaaaaa!! People who have spinners and their red headed step cousin fake spinner don’t read blogs. If you want to get this information out to the masses, might I suggest going to PG Plaza with a bull-horn and standing in front of any of their fifty-leven sneaker emporiums. Take the message to the masses cus they won’t come recieve the message electronically.
True…folks that ride around with that crap on their cars probably are on the other side of the digital divide. Maybe I should print this out and paste 30 copies on the winshield of every car I see with those horrible pinwheel spinners on them.
Oh my goodness, I’m so tired of those damn spinners. I’m in L.A., so you can only imagine how out of hand it is. They have spinning “hubcaps” out here. The crazy thing is, people think they’re really doing it WAY big. A dude pulled up on me at the light in his Ford Focus, with spinning “hubcaps”, gangsta leanin’ like he was fresh from 310 motoring. I just laughed at his ass!
I am SO glad you put the “fake spinners” on blast. I am so tired of seeing Kias and Geo Metros with plastic spinning I don’t know what to do. Oh, and Bravo for your “performance”…LOL
ROFL in Cali, you can get those at the indoor swapmeet!

I don’t know how you be remembering these names. Just like you know who the guy’s name on MAD magazine is. You said it and I still can’t remember it. Alfred somebody. But anyway, I’m referring to the Kaiser Soze comment. Too funny! After I read it, I could see that mug walking off with that limp and then it disappeared I loved that movie, by the way. I’m just not good at remembering names.
Man, the titles of your posts kill me every time.
I have to agree w/ you on the fake spinner phenomenon. And my cali folks are dead on it. Those stupid hub caps are all over LA, the swap meets have subjected us to the madness. But you cant tell those fools they aren’t tight. Always looking in someone elses car with that, “Yeah baby, you know you want me” look. Clowns.
Lordy! You’re alloweed some sympathy from the co-workers. Milk it for a good week or so. As for the spinners, no words. I saw some on a Chevy Labaron convertible this summer had to stop what I was doing to long on in amazement.
We’ll both have to be presented with Oscars, because I played hooky from work today, and I’ll say that my performance tomorrow will be nothing short of Oscar-worthy. It’s funny what a creative mind will produce when you want to do more important stuff, like job search, lol.
I’m soooo mad at the fake spinner trend. While waiting at the stoplight, I looked over to see a 17 year old pushing an ’87 Buick LaSabre with plastic spinners. He had the NERVE to Look at me with that “I’m gonna tear you apart” look like Arsenio Hall (dressed as a woman) gave Eddie Murphy in “Coming to America”. Fake spinners squeaking and all – yes, they squeak. I was about to pull out some WD 40 for his ass, but I didn’t want to crush his newly formed, post-pubescent ego. I promptly smoked him when the light turned green.
1st-i always wonder who in da fuck was Kaiser Soze… opps
2nd- i saw this ESCORT today that had four…let me say that again FOUR different fake hub cab spinners on its wheels.. i wanted to laugh so hard, but i in my Miss A mode and had a truck load of kids with me and so I had to refrian…
once again i’ve forgotten this damn logg on info

Spinners are even here in Germany (and London, Lucerne, and Amsterdam, too). I see more here than I did back home in St.Louis. Here, I’ve seen them on taxis, vans, and everything between. After you finish getting out the word in your area, can you go to Five Points in Atlanta~~they could use your expertise, too.
Damn, where have I BEEN??? I haven’t seen the fake spinners!!!
Mad about the Kaiser Soze comment, mad about Denzel calling you for the rights, mad about being an Oscar contender, pretty much mad about the whole post… you are a straight FOOL!
Oh and Brown Shuga, how could you NOT remember Alfred E. Newman!!??? That was my boy back in the day, I would buy a Mad Magazine and some cherry Pine Brother’s chewy cough drops and that was my pathetic version of a fun night when I was 10, 11 and 12. =)
i was so blown away the first time i saw fake spinners i had to take pic of them. hernandez pushing the geo prism they were mounted on probably wondered what the hell was so hilarious.
I think the real ones are crap! so you know how I feel about the fake ones! It’s like a comb over on bald white guys
