The definition of bravado.

Went out to lunch with co-workers Friday. On the way there, I saw a white Geo Prizm, at least 10 years old, with SPINNERS. This thing was stopped at a light, and the rims were a-blazin’. In the driver’s seat was a 20-something white male, his seat jacked all the way back. He pretty much needed a yardstick duct-taped to the steering wheel in order to make a 90-degree turn. But I guess he wanted to be prepared in case he needed to unleash the Courvoisier stashed in the Little Playmate in the backseat.

I imagine the conversation this guy had with himself at Auto Zone when he was making his purchasing decision. “If I put the spins on, my ride will be pimped, fo shizzle. But daaaamn. They cost more than my car! It’ll take me, like, three months to make this kind of coin at Long John Silvers. But no doubt, I am a playa. True dat. Because this is how we roll, homies. This is how we roll.”

I have got to get myself a camera phone for these Kodak moments. I will regret this for the rest of my life, not capturing this for y’all.

    Untitled, My wife and I are sooo with you. We see it all the time here in Memphis. They even have hubcaps that have spinning centers in them. I saw an old Ford minivan with those spinnin’ caps. A minivan for christs sake! Here’s my billion dollar idea: Clear tires filled with water and goldfish. “Schweet yo, dog’s got Shamu in hiz terizzles! Man that’s dope yo, dope!”

    So did he have a baseball cap on crooked? They usually do.

    I can one up you on this one. On my way home from work last week- in rush hour traffic, snails pace mind you - a tricked out 80’s beamer was next to me with a dude drinking an unknown beverage out of a bottle with a brown bag coozie, which I thought was pretty bad until he took a hit off a freekin bong! Thank god my phone rang because I HAD TO TELL SOMEONE! If I would have whipped out a camera phone, i probably would have had a cap popped in my ass. yo brotha, out.
