Black History in July: Part VI

Black History Month Great Black Person #25 of 28: Dr. Turk 


I'm no superman... but Turk from Scrubs sure is. Turk is a skilled surgeon, a loving husband, a loyal friend, and a talented 'find the saltine' player. Whether he's jamming in his air band, being the base in Eagle, or fulfilling his duties as half of multi-ethnic siamese doctor, Turk always makes me laugh... and I hear that's the best medicine. That and penicillin. So happy BHM Brown Bear, you are scrub that gets love from me, no matter what TLC says.


Black History Month Great Black Person #26 of 28: Chocolate Milk


Milk = good for you. Chocolate milk = great for you. There's really not much to say about chocolate milk other than it's just about the most delicious there is to drink. There is that unfortunate stigma of chocolate milk being a kid's beverage. Wish I could do something about that. Same goes for grilled cheese. Yes, there should definitely be a grown-up restaurant that serves grilled cheese and chocolate milk... and the founder should be a black guy... then this post would actually have something to do with black history month.




Black History Month Great Black Person #27 of 28: Joe Hamilton

My all-time favorite football player. Joe Hamilton was a four-year starter at QB for Georgia Tech and was absolutely robbed of the 1999 Heisman Trophy. A fellow HTS grad, Joe made Tech fans everywhere proud to be Jackets. I love you Joe Hamilton.

Black History Month Great Black Person #28 of 28: all the fine black people who read all these posts and didn't get mad at me

It's been a lot of fun writing all these BHM Great Black People profiles, but right from the start I was worried I might offend someone. Hopefully that was never the case. From what I can tell, everyone seemed to be pretty cool with it, so thanks for that. I'm kinda sad to see February end because I enjoyed this so much... hopefully you did too. Thanks for reading and thanks for all the support... only 337 days til Black History Month 2012... and it's a leap year!




And you can see the whole BHM collection in one place here or find it over there to on the right side of the page -------->

Teen PokéMom

 

Here at TKAA, we're all about the kids... and not just the human ones... pokémon too. It's these young pokémon and pokéwomon to whom I write today:

I know there's a lot of pressure to do the pokénasty when you're a teenage pokémon, but I want you young creatures to know that there's no shame in holding on to your (Pokémon) V-Card... just ask the thousands of single pokémoms out there who wish they could have a do-over. Remember, there's only one reliable defense against Nintendo DSTDs and unwanted pregnancies and it's (no, not Coil, Harden, or Leer) abstinence. So delete those booty call numbers from your pokédex and go out and get some fresh air, pokékids. The world is a scary enough place without a pokébaby to worry about, so why not wait until you evolve to do the ol' horizontal battle? And if you can't suppress those pokéurges, at least use protection, because when it comes Nintendo DSTDs, without protection, you're gonna catch 'em all.
