Willi Ninja Day Today - 6PM Moment of Silence

Picked this up from Andrew Der at Cognitive Percolations. Great idea. New York City, or the borough of Queens, are you going to do the same? Cognitive Percolations: "Apparently today (December 6th) is Willi Ninja Day in the city of Newark, NJ. We haven't really planned a formal celebration for today. Instead, the House of Ninja is asking everyone who knew Willi to take a moment around 6pm today to reflect on his memory and the impact he had on your life. It was exactly a year ago today that a benefit was held for him. Here is a clip from the benefit (I can only assume):"

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the arrest occurred at 3 p.m. in Terminal 5. Williams, a popular comedian who recently starred in his own HBO stand-up comedy special, was stopped at the security checkpoint. Security officers found a concealed weapon in his carry-on luggage. One law enforcement source described it as a 'cheap, Saturday night special.' The LAPD was called and Williams, who stars alongside Nick Canon on the popular MTV show 'Wild 'N Out,' was arrested. Cops determined the concealed weapon was stolen. They also found three additional weapons in luggage that Williams had already checked in. Williams, who is scheduled to host BET's first ever Hip-Hop Awards later this month, was booked on felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon and several other offenses. Sources say Williams is also wanted in connection with an outstanding warrant in Kalamazoo, Mich"

If My People: Brandy Buckin in Bible Study

Here in the shop we begin a recurring series "If My People", devoted to when we stunt in public (stuntin' like my daddy). The Scripture tells us "If My people, which are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray..." and I always say stop right there cause we can't even do that. Buckin' in Bible study! What, someone dissed Tom Cruise? Come ON Brandy. Crunk + Disorderly: "Things got ugly when Brandy showed up with two of her friends (one a Scientologist, one not) to bible study at First A.M.E. (FAME) in Los Angeles last week. Apparently the group of friends had just come from a Scientology meeting and had a bunch of questions challenging Christian principles being taught at the bible study. While Brandy asked a question regarding lust, her friends got into a brawl with members of the church in the back of the sanctuary. Chairs were flying, cuss words were being tossed! Not your typical Wednesday night bible study scene at all. Members of the congregation had to break the fight up. It is also reported that Brandy knocked over some chairs on her way out of the building. And get this, she isn't even a member of the church! Just ignorant. Sonia, come get your child."
