Hey Girl or The One About Boogina

I'm not one to shout "oh girlfriend", "Mary, Mary", or even "Sistuh", but last week, YIKES!

In a matter of five minutes, I heard several grown straight men in various uniforms say "hey girl" to a various women as they passed by. Not as in "hey girl, fabulous shoes", but as in a greeting or salutation. "Hey girl!" Hmm. To me, that sounds just as queer as girlfriend, Mary, sistuh, sweetie, sugar-pie, etc.

Better yet, I'm not one to wear boots and a cowboy hat (well, not in public anyway), but all this "Hey girl" stuff was going on at a local rodeo where the nights main events included bareback riding and steer wrestling. More than once, I heard manly men exclaiming their excitement about getting to watch the bareback riding. Um....yeah.

While I'm on the subject of queers and steers, ok bad transition, but oh well, I don't promise quality stuff here at "Days of..."

I'm not sure if you're familiar with the program "Noah's Arc" on Logo...the GLBT network.

Conveniently, season one came out on DVD last Tuesday, before the premiere of the first episode of season two on Wednesday. So last Tuesday, I went on a hunt with my friend and personal hairstylist Jerry to find Noah's Arc. He wanted it, I didn't. More on that in a minute. No luck at Best Buy, but we went in two by two in Target and came out three by three with the Ark in hand!

I've seen several episodes of said arc. It's funny, clever, and full of flaming black men. I about wet myself when I heard the word "Boo-gina"...as in man-gina.

Here's one reference from the show ... "If I'm giving up the boogina to Jorge then he's gonna have to tell his parents about me and him. N'uff said."

Boogina. N'uff said.

If you're still wanting more, check it out at the urban dictionary.

Well, that's more than enough for Monday.
