I can’t help but picture Goret accidentaly falling off a cliff and as a last gesture of fandom he shouts at the top of his lungs “biggest fannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn”

I absolutely adore this feature; it makes my whole week when I look back and think about the amazingly dumb things people say, or try to say, to their favorite celebrity.

Besides, it would be even more hilarious if Raven’s real email address was symone.raven1@gmail.com because symone.raven@gmail.com was taken!

I was just looking at this and my 3 year old daughter, seeing her picture, says “Oh, mom I love That’s so RAISIN.” I was laughing so hard. I hope that in a few years she is not one of the girls who starts writing to you to defend RAISIN.

I thought Eric was just guessing.

Wow, I’m thinking some of the people on this site are as dumb as those writing the letters. Unfortunately for all of you the ones writing the letters are mostly under the age of 15 and I’m guessing you’re all a bit older.

For those slow folks asking other people what words mean there is this nifty tool called Google. After typing in “definition of krunk” into the search bar the second site listed is a link to the urban dictionary. Now, make note of the urban dictionary website as you can now just “navigate” there directly if you don’t know what something means.

For those of you who are too retarded to follow simple instructions I will provide a link for you:

Originally, Crunk meant crazy drunk and was popularized about 2-3 years ago. Now “krunk” is more about being crazy + non-alcoholically intoxicated. I’m still surprised it is even used very much now that it has reached the “white folk.”

And by the way Eric, this is my least favorite bit of yours. It still comes off somewhat pedophilic.

Let the Southern girl intervene. “Krunk” is actually an amalgam of “chronic” and “drunk”. So it originally meant “super drunk”, but it has ameliorated into a positive descriptive word. “Krunk” = “Off the hook”

Didn’t Eric explain it in the course of mocking the letter?

Okay, Jeff, now will you tell the rest of us (literate) folks what ‘krunk’ means? I have a hard time believing it can be a compliment. It just sounds silly.

If I learned I could stick to walls, the first thing I’d probably do is take a shower.

Sad thing is, those could be high school age children writing the emails. Very sad.

I love these columns! (long time reader, first time commenter)

Is it not ironic that “GORET” who insists she’s “NOT LIKE THE OTHER FANS THAT GO OVER THE BOARD TO TRY AND GET YOUR INFORMATION” goes on to ask Raven to add her on Beebo? I wonder if she has met gay-stalker Taylor.

Pehaps the elongated “fannnnnnn… et. al.” was some kind of onomatopoeia for rhetorical effect. I mean, that is sort of the sound an electric fan makes…

Nah, I’m giving this kid too much credit.
