If you ever wondered what I read when I’m not TSS’in, I read (Listen) To Leon.

I first became familiar with Brother Leon when we used to share columns over @ KING. His Fine Sh*terature is the personification of intelligence muffled behind the voice of ignorance & completely humorous. I barely check over there now, only because I catch his show @ LTL now.

When I read a recent interview Leon did with the homegirl DS @ Clutch, I felt quite honored…

Clutch: When you’re not writing for ‘Listen to Leon‘, what are some other sites that you visit?
Leon:
MediaBistro
ProBlogger
The Smoking Section
Twitter

Oh word?

Bloggers/writers on the ‘net are secretly full of themselves. They dare not admit that they read another site, for fear of losing readership to a motherfucker who might just happen to be more witty. Unfortunately, I do so much during a day, it’s not that I don’t read other folks’ stuff; I really don’t have time to.

But I make it a point to stop thru & Listen To Leon.

Why?

Because I feel like I’ve found a brother who shares the same delicate mix of cynicism, wit & worldview as I do.

Now that I’ve revealed my secret, I’ll share with you a few of my favorite, recent Leon stories. He’s got his own “Greatest Hits” section, but these are some personals that had me beside myself as I laughed out loud, much to the chagrin of whoever was around me at the time.

“No One on the Corner Has Swagger Like Us” — Mainly because Leon’s a fool & he shouted us out.

“Bacon Addiction” — “I have decided to take the chitterling approach to solving this problem. Once I found out what chitterlings are, and WHY they smell the way they do, I could never bring myself to eat them. Can you blame me for not wanting to eat a cooked sh*t sack that makes the whole house stink while being prepared?”

“You Die First” — “When crossing a city street before the light changes, have any of you ever found yourself walking next to someone, but consciously or unconsciously positioning yourself so that you are on the side of that person farther away from oncoming traffic? I have found that I have a “better him than me” philosophy when it comes to jaywalking. I’ll do it, but only if it means that a car will have to hit and kill someone else, thus buying me an extra split-second to get out of the way.”

“The Stripper Sales Pitch” — You really have to read the whole thing to get the point, but I think the situation is familiar to most males…however most of us didn’t have the wit to handle it this way.

Stripper: “You can’t put your hands on me, and you have to keep your clothes on, but I can give you a lapdance that’ll make you cum.”

C.: “Assuming you’re capable of that, which I doubt…You’re telling me that I’m supposed to pay you so I can cum in my pants, then walk around in those same pants for the rest of the night? That doesn’t sound all that appealing.”
