HollahFails
So, I have a new category for my crazy Harlem blog (the aptly named, Harlem Ain’t for Amateurs). The new category is called Harlem Hollahs. And, yes, it is exactly what it sounds like. I’ve overheard some of the funniest pick-up lines in my life since I’ve been living in Harlem. And I’ve been selfish by not sharing them. Here is your first dose!
1. “Mmmph! Chocolate AND vanilla!” As I was walking down 125th with two women, one brown-skinned and one light-skinned.
2. “Hey bow-leg, why you ain’t call me??” No, she did not have bowlegs and she’d only seen him once before- the last time he tried to hollah at her.
3. “Guuurl, just let me be your left shoe!” Uh, I have no words.

LOLOLOL…hilarious! Keep compiling these pick-up lines, and know that even though they are chronicals of HAA…this tomfoolery goes on in most chocolate cities. Philly is no exception. My sister has a few good ones too. Most recently, some clown halted her in her tracks to say, “Dayum boo, you look kinda good.”
She’s so funny tho, she was more offended by the “kinda” than the cheesy pick-up attempt, LOLOL!
LMAO!!! funniest one “3. “Guuurl, just let me be your left shoe!” Uh, I have no words.”
priceless! LOL
u might be able to compile a little coffee book with all the lines u’ll collect! LMAO!!
Funny. I was walking on the sand at virginia beach this past summer with two friends that happened to be particularly stunning that day when a black dude commented…
“Mmmph…THUNDER! and LIGHTNING!…”"
I was weak.
@KG: LMAO! You “win”.
