What's Crackin
FOUND by Laura Bernstein
in New York City, New York
I sat down next to this note on the bus. It's written on the back of some sort of messenger delivery slip. Perhaps a delivery etiquette self-reminder?

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Is "What's shakin'" better?
At first, quick glance I thought this said Found by Laura Bush. haha
Or maybe "what's cookin'!"
(hmmm.... isn't 'cookin' related to crack?)
Yeesh...everyone knows the correct question is "How's it hangin'?" Kids these days...:)
Q: "What be crackin'?
A: "Corn. But I don't care."
When my wife asks me that, it's usually my knees.
Whats doin' yous guys? Is how we say it in the Great State of Wisconsin.
Whats crackin' does imply a certain aging hipster-y aspect...
What about "this place is cracka-lackin'!"?
(is it all "crack related"? Vill in would know.)
you're not supposed to spell supposed with two Os.
For some reason, "I sat down next to this note on the bus" cracks me up.
I soppose it's better than "This note sat down next to me on the bus"
So I'm ridin on the bus and this note comes in, sets itself down nexta me. I look over at it an it sez, "'Sup?"
I don't think they're sposta say anything.
See, yeah we always said what's cracka-lackin', yo!
Around here, ALL the 20 sometin' year olds say, "What's poppin'?"
In our generation, we all would say, "WHUZZZZ-UPPP!?"
But, personally, I like the greeting, "How's it hangin'?"
The best answer ever to, "What's shakin'?"
"All four cheeks and a coupla chins!" - Norm on Cheers
Even thinking about it make an old grump like me laugh.
@ GRUMPS- Hey GRUMPY! I saw that show (re-run) just the other evening on *CHEERS*!
How ironic....
And yes, t'is the best-ever answer to "What's shakin'?"
CHEERS, Buddy!
According to my black house mate "crackin'" and especially "cracker" are racist terms referring to the bad old days when white folks whipped black slaves. The white person was the "cracker", so to ask "whats cracking" is a degoratory racial term. Sorry to poob on on your parade, everyone.
The writer was riding the bus to the plumbers convention.
I think it's more of a "How to Not Sound Like a Jerk" self-reminder.
Maybe the guy works in an egg processing plant. That would be a phrase you'd want to avoid.
What's crackin'? The whip. Now get crackin'.
I once went to a baseball game in Devner and sitting in front of me was this large and enthusiastic lady wearing a Rockies jersey and hat and even little Rockies earrings and she punctuated every sentence by saying:
"Let's get crackin' McCrackin!"
That is all.
Your sopposed to say:
"Cracking good toast, Grommit!"
What's cracking?
The bank safe; dawn; butt; cocaine; heads; Polly wanna; er, Jack; myself up.
Is that Phil McCrackin?
Crack is whack.
Sorry, that's all I got.
Mona, just don't use caulk.....
Crack kills.
Ok, for reals this time.
Your comments just cracked me up...I guess I'm crackin'!
Maybe the person meant to write "don't say 'cracker.'" (The person who wrote the note is obviously part of the Politically Correct Police...and like the guys with the red berets, they patrol the bus routes and set people "straight.")
Q: What's crackin'?
A: "Snap, *Crackle*, and Pop!!"
"RICE KRISPIESSSSS!"
What's cracka-lackin' booty-smackin'?
Oh, the '90s.
I always thought that "cracker" related to the color of our pale white skin, not a whip...
I love how the writer of this note remembers to use the apostrophe st the end of crackin'.
In my high school, it's "What's good?"
Good Lord, I HATE it when people spell "supposed" as "sOpposed." I hate it even more when they spell it "sopose," as in "I was sopose to walk the dog today."
Hmph!
whats happenin'?
