So I’m over my homeboy’s crib, leafin through a Newsweek at the end of the Lakers-Denver blowout, and I see they have an article on Sesame Street. First page is the big three: Ernie, Bert, and Big Bird. Second page is Oscar, The Count, and Elmo. Then it just kinda hit me that Elmo is Grover 2.0. Now, I haven’t watched Sesame Street in a good while, so I really have no idea about Elmo’s rise, but I kinda felt some typea way that Elmo stole Grover’s shine.
I recently jumped into the modern era and got a Blackberry. It’s cool and all, but I wasn’t all wowed by it until I put on the google mobile apps and did the speak-n-search. THAT got me siced.
It’s weird that I own Coming To America on DVD, but get excited to see it when it’s on TV. The only other movie that’s even coming close with that, is Baby Boy — with the difference being that I really dislike Baby Boy, but am compelled to watch it over and over.

siced? Are you trying to say psyched?
I have a blackberry supplied by my employer. I really don’t like the keyboard.

nah. it’s definitely siced. that’s that good DC slang. there are alternate spellings, but that’s the word.
the berry is functional for me. i like it, but it ain’t like a “crackberry” to me. i gotta admit that it is really useful to have all my communications coming to the same device though.
i’m wondering how long it’s gonna take me to be able to “touch type” on the berry.

how do you pronounce siced?
May 31st, 2009 at 8:29 pm
like ’sliced’ without the ‘L’…or you could say like “psyched” with a soft ‘c’ and drop the ‘h.’

I have a Blackberry, bought it at the holidays. After seven months of usage I can’t imagine cell-phone-existence without it. I’m not cracked out yet though.
I own a Coming to America DVD too but yeah…it’s a whole different feeling when it comes on tv. Kinda like you’re getting a freebie. Guess I’m always looking for a hookup. lol

yeah…that joint is definitely rapidly integrating itself into my lifestyle. much more than a regular phone, since i really don’t talk on the phone too much at all.

Okay, learned some new regional slang. Siced. Is it correct to say, for example, “Laker fans are siced about the finals, cause they think they have it in the bag?”

You are correct. Check this entry from the Urban Dictionary for a more complete listing:
