MEL B.....TRUE OR FALSE?

How well do you know Melvin? Or..how well do you THINK you know Melvin..let's find out.

TRUE OR FALSE

1. Melvin is from Oakland.

FALSE

MC Hammer is from Oakland. Keyshia Cole is from Oakland. Too Short (Beeyatch) is from Oakland. Melvin is from San Francisco, and he can rap, dance and sing better than all of them.

2. Melvin is a Martial Artist.

TRUE

Well..he was up until the age of 7.  I have two trophies to show for it..2nd place competition and Best Student 1977 (don't be doin' no math right now).  I was the baddest 7 year old kid taking KAJUKEMBO HAWAIIAN style Karate at Jeff Wong's studio in San Francisco.  Don't hate...Hawaiian style ain't no joke.

3.  Melvin is Adventurous.

TRUE

You may call it CRAZY, I guess it depends on your definition.  I have swam with Manta Rays (yes, my *ss was scared) in Belize, Played with Snake Charmers and King Cobras in Morocco (don't get it twisted, those snakes have no venom and ain't even got any teeth), went down lightless streets in Senegal to see YOUSSOU N'DOUR at 3 am, got a holy tattoo from a buddhist monk in Thailand (by hand no less) and live in LA on a daily basis. 'Nuff Said.

4. Melvin likes small Cars.

TRUE

Y'all all talk bad about me...I know.  Until I have a Brady Bunch, 101 Dalmatians, 7 Dwarfs or the Wonder Twins living with me, I will have my 2 seaters.  One person besides me allowed. The rest of y'all gotta take the Bus.

5.  Melvin is going to run another Marathon.

FALSE

That would be a NO.  The First one was hard enough, and I want to give other people a chance to win.  It's only fair.  Being Delirious, almost running the wrong direction, thinking about other places I could be, craving Popeye's Chicken and watching little old men passing me by is not my idea of FUN.  I will, however be MORE than happy to root your crazy *ss on...from the sidelines .

6. Melvin has ben arrested.

TRUE

I was 16 and got caught stealing a package of Ham while my friend got caught stealing a Wrestling magazine.  This is a month after getting caught doing Graffiti.  I was on my way to a life of crime...sorry Mom!  lol..heh.

7. Melvin speaks several languages.

FALSE

Melvin speaks English and French.  That's it..and sometimes my French is better than my English.  Beyond that strange hand gestures and funny faces are used to communicate.

8. Melvin is a professional wrestler.

FALSE

Melvin once upon a time had a FANTASY about being a professional wrestler as he remembers HULK HOGAN PERSONALLY telling him to say his prayers and eat his vitamins.  Needless to say..being a bit light in the *ss swayed my decision and I have decided that being a Super Hero is enough of a job as it is.

9. Melvin is an experienced White Water Rafter.

TRUE

I am a pretty good rafter...i can take most CLASS III and maybe an easy CLASS IV (IV being the hardest).  Some Black people do like water...I'm one of 'em. I have ben known to wear my Leather Fedora, Shark tooth necklace,  and boots down the river...OK. I'ma stop.  THAT sounds Crazy.

10. Melvin is related to KEVIN BACON.

FALSE ( I think so anyway).  

People who talk to me on the phone always ask me that.

I don't think we look alike...and I haven't seen him at any family reunions any time recently.

KEV!  Call me..I need a loan!  Slide ya boy a couple mil!  :)

ha.  It's a wrap :)
