The Peruvian Marching Powder is one reason, the other reason they're checking their noses is to see how much they grew!

   

. . . and I didn't use the Russia R-word : )

Back in the 60's UFO enthusists claimed aliens were planting tracking devices in the left nostril of abductees. I am not an abductee.

Now you have me wondering why only the left nostril? 

LSD is also a powerful drug, lol .. 

   

We wouldn't do that ..

I have no idea; that's just what thr Roswell crowd claimed.   Another place they implanted the tracking device was supposedly the shin, or behind ones' ear. I didn't have any their, either.

"Fk yo' couch, N***a!  Fk...yo'...couch!!"



The whole sketch was great!  I've probably watched that 100 times.  And the way Charlie tells the story, you feel like you're right there.  Chapel plays a hilarious Rick James.

The part where Rick James punches Charlie in the head was great too. That whole sequence..."CHARLIEMUPHY!!" (POW!!)

It's probably extra funny to me because my best friend in college was just like Rick James with his actions. (He was white, but that's about the only difference!). He'd be all happy to see me, and scream my name out, just like that...then he'd headbutt me in the chest so hard it'd like crush my sternum. (Fixed him good one time though! I grabbed a piece of plywood and stuck it under my shirt. He tried to headbutt me (as usual) and went straight to his knees! "Awww MAN, what'd you do that for???"...he asks while rubbin' his sore head. "Cuz I knew you were gonna' headbutt me, MF'er!!" Everyone at the party rolled laughing.

Those were cool sketches, love Charlie Murphy stories LOL

This was funny af too:

HA!  Yeah, Prince dunkin' on Charlie Murphy was another funny one!!  

And, I didn't know that about Prince until I saw that either, that he was such a good B-Ball player.  The only problem I had with that particular story is there was definitely some exaggeration and fiction in that one, so telling what was real and what wasn't was kind of difficult.  Why?  Because the way the story went, Charlie and Eddy met up with Prince at a club in NY or LA (I forget which one he said), and then (per Charlie's story) they left the club and went over to Prince's house to hang out.  That wasn't possible.  Prince's house was in Minnesota, and the club they were in wasn't in Minnesota.  So...how did that really go down?  They would have had to fly to Prince's house; that wasn't something which was going to happen ad-hoc after leaving a club in NY or LA.  And, Prince didn't have any other homes than the one in Minnesota (it was a weird quirk about Prince, one of the many).  Could it have been a different day?  Sure, but it wasn't some spontaneous action after leaving a club...which was relevant to the overall story (IMO).  It would have changed the tempo of that story by quite a bit.

My ex used to have a co-worker who was a real-life Prince groupie.  This girl knew every single microscopic detail about Prince (in startling detail).  I mean, she knew what color underwear he was wearing on what day, and at what time.  She actually met the guy a couple times too, and was even invited to his house (which she flew across the country to do).  My ex worked at United Airlines, and this gal had picked an airline career just so she could follow Prince around the globe, and that is exactly what she did with every single second of her free time.  That was the first time I'd ever met someone like that, just completely obsessed with someone else.  She didn't have any delusions of running away with him, or some twisted sexual fantasy about him, or anything like that, but if there was a detail to know about Prince, she knew it.  Having worked in radio myself, I was always fascinated with Prince (even though I was a rock & roll kinda' guy); he was a really talented human (almost scarily so).  So when I had a question about him, I knew exactly where to go to get the most comprehensive answer on planet Earth.  I wound up concluding that she knew more about Prince than Prince knew about himself!  Seriously, she knew shit he'd probably long forgotten, but it was burned into her memory banks like chiseled stone.
