Some of our early open mic days at Occupy Philly were like that and it was awesome. No hobo.

I love how she’s written it in pencil and then gone over it with pen. She’s obviously put a lot of thought and effort into this note.

That is a pretty good link, although it almost unforgivably cites Fresh Prince’s Wild Wild West instead of Kool Moe Dee’s. That writer needs to start reading those comics and get it right.

This was solved by the internets back in 2000.

Actually, as far as I understand, and I grew up a minority male, in the hood and I am now over 40, mind you; a bum rush is a pugilistic term. It’s when you and your partners jump somebody and beat they ass. In other words, “they bum rushed Ricky” means: “that collection of lowlives just jumped Ricky and beat him up.” So when Public Enemy, in particular, Flavor Flav, declares that they are going to bum rush the show, it means the crew is about to collectively jump the audience and beat it down … with rap.

It does not mean, as my older brother once told me, that “you get a bunch of hobos to go to a concert with you”. My brother was lying to me.

“Night of the Living Baseheads” is also a useful tool to teach your kids the difference between dope and dope.

Here it is….BAM!
