I was referring to all the ladies that have missing teeth in their mouths from drug use (not funny, but I know of plenty of women like this from my old hood...almost all have false teeth now...all under age 40)

You guys are too funny on this thread
I've been guilty of Trick o'Treating with a pillow case for my candy
as a kid my mom washed our clothes in the washing machine but since we didn't own a dryer, we had all kinds of clothes draped all over the apartment an the fire escape....the plastic covered furniture never got damp at all...yet another good reason to cover couches in plastic!


BTW if you ever used milk crates as furniture, or to hold up broken furniture...you are ghetto

Cut out the bottom of the milk crates and u got a basketball hoop

I remember that!! Especially if they were rigged up against a streetlight.
In my old hood we also had an Adidas tree on Intervale St. next to the home made hoop.

Guess I'm on my own with the ghetto Thai then?

You know you ghetto when you know someone with these names:
Pookie
Lil Ray Ray
Fat Mikey
Peaches
"That BIOTCH" KeKe from around the block
