Never say I don’t entertain you. Or I’ll kill you. And your family. Kidding. This video is not exciting – title’s an example of hyperbole, folks – but it is very illustrative. I was doing serious business today so I decided to make a serious post and now you too can explain the Crisis of [...]

Confessions of a Closet Patriot
Ok, that’s it, I am sick and tired of constantly complaining about life on this blog. I have a confession to make and this is very difficult for me to say (deep breath) : I am a complete sucker for patriotism. I actually get tears in my eyes every time I hear the national anthem [...]

Tomorrow… it’s only a day away
Considering I have missed 4 out of the last 5 deadlines that I have had for this blog, I got to thinking about procrastination and why it’s so common. And I’ve figured out the answer: I will tell you what it is tomorrow.**
**Yes, I am aware that this joke is weak, but I am tired and I don’t [...]

The Rise of Comedy Bands
Unless you have been on Mars for the last decade, in a cave, with your eyes shut and your fingers in your ears, you shouldn’t protest too much when I say that the creep of music into other media has become more prevalent and popular. As proof, sirs and madams, I present the examples of [...]

Think twice before registering your domain name!
Just as with Rowan Atkinson’s infamous roll-call routine (in his sketch for stage called Smut) this post is riddled with schoolboy sexual innuendo and lavatorial humour. What could be funnier though? Whether an honest oversight or terribly enduring and public Freudian slip, these domain name may not always read as the owners would have originally intended…
Baby [...]

Confederations (fu) Cup
Right, that’s it. I’ve had enough of attempting not to write about the Confederations Cup. I wanted it, like the hype that didn’t precede it, to just die away and I could return to my normal life of never having to hear a vuvuzela. I have, on the odd occasion, accidentally changed the channel to [...]

For the Ladies
If you are part of a “no-holds-barred” group of friends, as I am privileged to be, you can joke about just about anything. Including, as my friend Kyle so eloquently puts it, the surprise abortion. Please do not watch this if you are easily offended. Please do not read anything on this blog for that [...]

Car-Guard Carnage
A recent post of mine sparked up some repressed feelings that I have about a particular group of people. I do use the term “people” very loosely. In fact, I think that I would rather refer to them as a virus or plague of some sort. Yes: “The great car-guard epidemic of 2009”.
The car-guard, in [...]

Freedom is Fuzzy
A post about Dave Bullard made me realise that media freedom is a fuzzy concept – the question is not “am I free?” but rather “where on the freedom spectrum do I lie?” So I checked out Reporters Without Borders’ Press Freedom Index 2008 and discovered South Africa’s tied 36th with the United States. “Golly! What [...]

Pathetic Man Thinking About Maybe Taking Some Sort Of Class Of Some Kind
This article reminds me of a friend of mine. Here is a quote I found especially interesting:
“Mayhew has failed to commit to several other vague ideas that have flitted across his mind in recent years, including the possibility of taking courses in bicycle repair, gardening, pottery, “How to Quit Smoking in 30 Days,” bird-watching, model [...]
