About this site
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

brilliant! (as always)

What does the reference to “biggie” mean?
October 10th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
The Biggie Smalls song “Mo Money Mo Problems.”
Who needs PhD-toting economists when we have posthumous rapper references?

Biggie didn’t even listen to himself:
“Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
When I was dead broke, man I couldn’t picture this
50 inch screen, money green leather sofa
Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
Phone bill about two G’s flat
No need to worry, my accountant handles that
And my whole crew is loungin’
Celebratin’ every day, no more public housin’
Thinkin’ back on my one-room shack
Now my mom pimps a Ac’ with minks on her back
And she loves to show me off, of course
Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
Birthdays was the worst days
Now we sip champagne when we thirst-ay
Uh, damn right I like the life I live
‘Cause I went from negative to positive
And it’s all… “
October 10th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Oh yeah. . . I forgot the last part
“Uh…and if you don’t know, now you know. . . “
October 10th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
it’s still all good
October 10th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Um, can anyone explain this one to me? I get the mo money mo problems thing, but what’s with freeze and slosh?
October 11th, 2008 at 3:07 am
Look up freeze and slosh on the http://www.urbandictionary.com/
Then bookmark the site because as you get older you’ll be using it more and more. Like I do.
October 11th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Hooray for middle class.
October 11th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
I’m so old, I thought it had to do with Biggie Munn and the Slush Fund.
{sigh}
October 13th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Unfortunately the urbandictionary link has left me little the wiser as there are a number of conflicting entries for both words. Care to just take 20 seconds to type out a brief inline explanation please?
October 14th, 2008 at 3:27 am
Frickin’ brilliant! Thanks for giving me a huge smile, and for giving me a chance to feel self-congratulatory about my hip-hop repertoire.
October 14th, 2008 at 3:55 am
LOL I thought it was to do with liquidity and the current economic melt down!
Freeze = cocaine
Slosh = loose woman (or alcohol?)
eh?
October 15th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Ok, so (referring to another chart) no wisdom, more money, more problems…
I guess I’d be smart to not have any money so I’d have no problems, but my … Oh forget it
(I like this one too)

this is gold!!!!
October 17th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
brilliant article!
October 28th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
I think maybe freeze was referring to the entry describing a girl who won’t kiss (or anything else) a guy. That’s the only one that made any sense given the available terms for slosh.
November 2nd, 2008 at 1:11 pm
nevermind urbandictionary. I interpreted as this:
If you have too little money, you do have problems, such as not being able to pay for heat. Ergo, you freeze.
If you have too much money, you have the problems identified by B.I.G., as though you have overfull buckets of cash and it sloshes over the sides. You just can’t hang on to it all.
In the middle there is a point where just enough money results in the fewest problems.
