'bank head bounce". What is that?
Clearly it's something at an advanced level beyond our comprehension

....How did I end up more ghetto than AR? I'm pretty sure he cheated. Probably can't even remember 90% of his childhood.:nono: Didn't you grow up on the mean streets, pardner? You had to spend enough time in Bed-Stey for a little to rub on you?

Scoring 120 for me and i never lived in the hood :rolleyes:

most of these things were as a kid, teen or young man.

0 - 30 - You have enjoyed a nice sheltered life in the suburbs.

31 - 60 - Hood movies have given you a little exposure.

61 - 100 - You may have visited the hood a few times or on weekends.

101 - 130 - You probably spent a few years in the hood, and moved to the suburbs.

131 - 160 - You're the genuine article. You are no stranger to hood life.

161 - 200 - You are definitely, without a doubt an expert on life in the hood.

201+ - Congratulations! You are Ghetto Fabulous!

131 - 160 - You're the genuine article. You are no stranger to hood life.

I scored 140..:shrug:


All those questions about the games you used to play and coming in when the streetlights came on?

Thats what we did for fun in the summers while growing up in Davenport, Iowa, in the mid 70s.

If that makes me no stranger to the hood life, I'll wear that title with a badge of honor. And I'm sending this on to anyone I grew up with that I still have contact with to see how they scored--I'm sure the numbers will be similiar for them as well.

Hope Bahama Mama sees this--she will score higher than me, I'd bet.....:D
