Yo brother I just need 35 cents...
I have never had a lot of change in my pocket because i have young children and they take it all. I never felt like there was a need to walk around with loud pockets. Now i have a great and resounding reason ,not to ever walk around with loud pockets......The 35 Cents People!!!
On Lee Street ,there is always ,someone on the streets walking around. I take my walks very late for this very reason. I have a great level of familiarity with the local ,late-night BUM SQUAD. First , they say what's up and walk on by you for a couple of steps. Then they stop and you will hear these words "hey brother,can i holla at cha for a minute"...They then go into this long and seemingly rehearsed story about their hardships in life.The story is usually pretty believable ;you have the story about i have five kid's at home and i'm just trying to feed them...you may get the my food Stamps are late again and my ol'lady kicked me out because of some bullshit....i can believe all of the Plethora of stories and even support a few of the lies. Honestly , they can tell me that they only want another beer or another bottle of Mad Dog 20/20! i don't really care about why they need the money , that's none of my business....JUST DON'T KEEP TELLING ME THAT YOU ONLY NEED 35 CENTS!!!!! That Shit annoys me...it's like you are disrespecting my intelligence. If the things you need only requires 35 cent top purchase ,then you are holding out on that store location.I wanna shop at the 35 cent store as well! So remember , when you come to the West End and you are getting gas at any of our gas stations...Have the 35 cent bum toll ,before you leave. Krackie-Tales lives on ...

His Name is Earl...
This one didn't exactly happen in the West End ,but it happened close enough , that it made to The Krackie-Tales.
I am on my way back from Downtown ,on Forsythe , and This dude is crossing the street At Marietta Street. He is wearing a Red LumberJack coat with a matching hat., a pair of Puma sneakers on w/some Khaki pants. It was dark outside ,but i had plenty of time to observe this Kneegrow. He crossed the street so slow that i sat thru a red light and a green light waiting on him to cross. If any of you remember Tim Conway from the Carol Burnett Show and the Old Man ,whom would barely move his feet as he walked across the stage....LMAO!! This old man was the Black version of that character. I thought that they were filming a episode of the Walking Dead or something.
So as i sat there and laughed about how slow this brother was walking across the street ....i wrote this Blog Entry and just for that Earl has made it into Krackie-Tales...

My Name Is Glenn...They Call Me Glenn...
Big Daddy's Food Mart on Lee Street is known as the safest store on the street for a couple of reasons. They don't sell alcohol; this goes against their religious beliefs(but they sell cigarettes and Pork) They are open 24 hours and are located right beside the fire house on Avon...which means a lot of police presence.
My story isn't about the store ,it's about the seemingly normal brother ,named Glenn the sweeps their floors and does all of the myriad of tasks around the store. Glenn appears very normal from afar,however he is far from it. Glenn has a normal face ...a normal walk...a normal overall appearance...except he is not very intelligent....okay he is not very smart...alright he is not even smart enough to be dumb. Glenn is what a baby would be like if the mom smoked crack for 5 months and then decide to take her prenatals for the last four months. He smells like Yesterday as in he hasn't washed his ass since yesterday...i am very concerned about Glenn. He was explaining to me where something was located in the store and listening to him speak was like getting directions from a 5 year old...he makes thinking look painful and he actually seems to be having a seizure when he has to speak in complete sentences. i am not sure why Glenn is the way he is but ,i will say this and i hope that you listen...COCAINE IS A POWERFUL DRUG!!
This dude has had the same clothes on since the beginning of summer and i decide to buy him something to wear. however, i went up their to ask his sizes, and the dude said that Glenn won a 50 dollar lotto ticket and quit his job ...he is somewhere high as hell right now...thinking about how to get his job back in the next 15 minutes...Glenn is my latest participant in my Krackie Adventures...Gotta Love Him
Sorry...Your Not My Kind Of Girl...
Now i promise you that i am not afraid of a big fat woman...They used to say in the 70's ," DON'T BUMP NO MO'..WIT A BIG FAT WOMAN"..that was an actual song.However, even i, have my limits.
a young brother and his Queen was walking down the street as i was walking on Avon Avenue. It was late as hell but i need some P.... ,yes i needed a Pepsi, so what! i was truly longing for some cheddar popcorn as well . So here i am at 1:30 in the morning walking to the corner store for a late night snack.so back to the brother and his queen. I am walking towards them and at first ,i thought that he was walking with a set of twins. I mean he was in the street and she was taking up all of the sidewalk.But as i got closer and closer ,i realized that she was only one chick , with two souls. He started grabbing her and kissing her...telling her that he loved her and she was pushing away and trying to walk behind him. I believe that she was only trying to give him some sidewalk.It's not in my nature to guess,...lol!
so to shorten the story as they walked by me ...the dude wrapped his arms around her left shoulder because he was only about 5'5".130 lbs ,compared to her 5'8" ,330lbs. he couldn't really hug her ...he just cuddled with her. This Kneegrow had the audacity to say to me .."Get yo Own Guhl Shawtey, dis one heh is Mines"...i was like okay bruh(while laughing) i won't mess with your dime piece....what i was implying is that they looked like the number ten as a couple...They looked like Norbit and Rasputia...Abbott and Costello....Kenan and Kel...Laurel and
Hardy...Ester and Woodrow(sanford and son)...El Gordo y La FLaca.(popular spanish language show).meaning the The Fat and The Skinny...but you get my point. I love West End and these two have qualified for Krackie -Tales!!
