Word Up, YO!, Christmas Break

The Dons have a busy holiday schedule. As we’re sure most of you do. But as Nerd Mafia Dons, we have schedules to make, lists to organize and users of improper grammar to whack. And festive shindigs to attend, of course. So without further ado, our winner this week is La Jersey Diva. She told…

Word Up Yo!, Layover Edition

As we Dons unbuttoned our pants and breathed deeply before standing up from the dinner table to load up our plates with another round of food, we got to thinking about this “layover” time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The holiday season really starts with Thanksgiving, and continues right on into January.  We kick off the…

Word Up, YO!, Edition 25

Thanksgiving…over way too quickly every year. I mean, how many other days during the year do you just get to sit around and eat while making a pig of yourself, and it’s okay? Not many, Mafiosas, not many. We hope that you enjoyed the short break we gave to and that you are fired up and…

Word Up, YO!, Edition 24

This week, we were boring people with our pedantic stories. Truly adhering to our Nerd status. It is the Nerd Mafia after all. Mommy Lebron, from the Motherhood Umbrella, confessed that she loved Justin Bieber. Because she brought back some pedantic nostalgia, we couldn’t help but love her. Mommy Lebron, in the eyes of the…

Word Up, YO!, Edition 23

This week brought a return of a familiar face, as well as welcomed a few new men to the family.  You new Associates have been elevated from your previous Men In Waiting status; we Dons have full faith in your abilities and look forward to your future contribution on our behalfs. JenHeadJen made a strong…

Word Up, YO!, Edition 22

So, did you double down this last week and create a kaching! Word Up, YO! post as well as recruit some new blood to gamble with you? Did your post leave us yelling “Winner, winner, chicken dinner“? Well, let’s see… Remember that this past week, if you recruited somebody to participate in Word Up, YO!,…

Word Up, YO!, Edition 21

This week was frightfully good. It was creepy and kooky. It was mysterious and spooky. Frankly, it was altogether ooky. The Nerd Mafia Family. (snap, snap) Ahem. Apologies for that. Sometimes we get a bit too engrossed in the spirit of the holidays. We had trouble deciding which ghoulishly clever post to make this week….

Word Up, YO!, Edition 20

This week, you showed us your wonky side. While Mafiosas probably don’t use the word “wonky” ever very often, you proved that you are loyal to the family and did as us Dons asked without any questions. Angie at On The Rocks And Straight Up had us laughing until we cried at her majorly wonky…

Word Up, YO!, Edition 19

We Dons like to put your street skills to the test every once in a while.  Like any good mafiosa knows, the art of bamboozling is key to the success of the family. We had many different kinds of bamboozling this week.  Julia felt bamboozled, though walked away with her head held high after having…

Word Up, YO!, Edition 18

This week, we were looking for people to put the kibosh on things. La Jersey Diva caught our eye by putting the kibosh on text message relationships amongst teens. Anne at AJD plus Three, after several attempts, put the kibosh on her son’s ear infections. Mommy Oblongata took the cake by putting the kibosh on…
