Some women might deem this a two-star male fantasy of the sort they wish the men in their lives would grow out of. However, for the guys it's Rodriguez's best film by far and a treat for fans of good-looking girls in black-and-white, of classic film noir and of imaginative ultra-violence. It even has dinosaurs and a samurai chick.

Yes, its true. This happy alcoholic has decided that the sun streched beaches of England are the way of the future. We are going to miss you Melissa, especially your numerous birthdays every year and you know that Forries will never be the same.

In other news: you might want to wander over to our "in other news" section and click on the link -Rocks in die stad- where you will see your Jam Jar constituents gracing the society pages, its like being in Heat Magazine, just much cooler. Remeber guys, we are doing it for the team. That means YOU.

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

Esmarelda does the bottom one of the Americas, Part 4

"The Chilean orange is overrated, as far as I am concerned.....
We specially bought one last nite for testing purposes, and were
disappointed to find that it was somewhat sour, had pips and had a
funny hard core thingie (not sure of the correct lingo). Basically
ours totally kick arse, jammin!"


The "funny hard core thingy" is a Navel, much like your belly button.
See people, you dont have to go to South America to learn that the Western Cape Oranges are the best damn oranges in the world.

"I was quite proud of myself when I ordered some Borsch (beetroot soup)... it arrived FULL of beef, and needless to say was sent back. (I had mentioned to our flustered
waiter prior to ordering that I ate NO meat.) He answered that the
onion soup was meat-free, and we waited for that. When it arrived he
very proudly announced: ¨ no meat, just chicken!¨ well, sad to say had
to send that back too! I eventually got a meat-free meal AND my scone,
so it all ended well, i suppose."


I love happy endings, stay tuned as the saga continues.

Stop the Press

As we where all very impressed with Quentin Tarentino's Kill Bill, one does ponder greedily: "What's next? Can you top that?"
Well his next movie comming our way called
Inglorious Bastards
Apparently its a WW2 movie in the Dirty Dozen tradition still to be made.
Plot outline:
A group of disgraced U.S. soldiers during World War Two manage to escape the execution squad by going on a daring mission to help the Allies in the fight against the Nazis.

Its got potential, tell me more. Well at a interview in London Mr. Micheal Madsen (who some of you will remember as Bud in Kill Bill) did reveal a interesting tid bit about who will be staring with him in this potential man's man movie: “It’s myself and Tim Roth, Adam Sandler, and Eddie Murphy.”
Eddie and Adam in a QT movie, now I am really intrigued. Will it work? Only time will tell.

Then on the subject of great craftmanship, there are still people that believe in putting a edge of quality on the simple things in life. Check out these playing cards:

In celebration of my last beard day I bring you the beard that will rule them all:

But wait there's more:

The end of a era

The last few remaning beard days have arrived, (i know its sad) , but I have realised that I have now reaped all that I can reap from my facial growth. I have used and abused the badboy and its time to kick his hairy ass out. Another reason that I have realised is that I am only getting beard compliments from men, ladies are not sticking to their bylaws:

"n Soen sonder snor is soos 'n eier sonder sout"

Another thing that is going out the window to day is K-mac's Job. Well done my girl - follow that star. I was initially very exited that I had a friend that works at a model agency, but as you pointed a grand total of ZERO leggy lovelies my way, you might as well leave there.

In other news: Me and Mr. J went blogger bashing last night, (it is not a activity where you go and beat people that blog) where we went forth and met with the other people in Slaapstad that blog (which is what Die Emmers is) in the hope that we could gain further technical knowledge to make DMers better. All we gained was headaches this morning , but we met some cool/interesting people. They might publish photo's and we will direct you too them.

These guys won

Image hosted by Photobucket.com


So apparently i missed a good game last night. Pity then that my complete disinterest in Soccer leaves me with no cognitive disonance. Live sports events (bar F1 and some decent ruggers) have no appeal for me. Ok, so I like the last half hour of the Wimbeldon ladies final aswell. So people, if I do not show up for these events, its not because I do not like you or because I am a loser/fader, it is because if you take away the drinking and the between penaty shootout conversation, I am left with a event as exiting as watching Noeleen on 3. Yes Mr. J, I am speaking of golf aswell.

Sorry to say it, but.....

Gilman in the morning is starting to piss me off more and more, he used to have a certain level of quality humour. now its just competitions and DB. Like on Monday -Danger boy (who is really not that funny) is delivering the following line over a speaker phone :"the wookies ate too many cookies and now they need to go for a poopies." That would have been hilarous back in std 5. Is this the demographic that I share my morning radio with. Its more embarassing than entertaining. Mabey in old age I am just getting more cynical and bitter. OR I am right and Gillman needs to sharpen his hunting knife. Until then I will be listening with the old people to Cape Talk.

Star wars review- Its Rocks, but it makes the first two films rather redundant. Darth V is rather cool and evil. (that was officially the last Star War mention from me ever)

BUCKET ALL

Well, my little mignons, I see that we have been very busy while I was up in the Big Ashtray catching up with that little friend of ours, Da Pongaz. He tells me that had he been the 43rd, that lion wouldn't have taken a single scalp and he'd be wrapped in its hide watching Desperate Housewives as we speak.

On the weird beard contest, I have footage of how far along it had come before it was shaven off on Satruday morning, upon request of the groom, before I took up the much revered position of groomsman. I am afraid that my friendship with Charlie (together with my spectacular sense of self when it comes to official wedding photography) took precedence. Be Cool.

Ben, we regret to inform you that your first application for Sunday Club has been rejected. Please try again.

Great to be back.

The parrot

A bloke is browsing around a pet shop when he sees a parrot on a perch
with no feet or legs. The guy says out loud, "Jesus, what happened to
you?"

The parrot replies, "I was born this way, I'm a defective parrot."

"For fu&@k's sake," says the bloke. "You actually understood me and
answered me."

"I got every word," replies the parrot. "I am actually a very
intelligent and thoroughly educated bird."

"Oh yeah?" the bloke asks. "Then answer me this: How do you hang onto
your perch without any feet?"

"Well," says the parrot, "this is very embarrassing, but since you
asked, I wrap my cock around the bar like a little hook. You can't
see it because of my feathers."

"Wow," says the man, "you really can understand and speak English.

Actually, I can speak both Spanish and English and I can converse with
reasonable competence on almost any subject: politics, religion,
sports anything. I'd be a great companion."

Five minutes later the guy walks out with the parrot. Weeks go by and
the parrot is sensational. He understands everything; he sympathises,
and he's insightful. The guy is delighted with his acquisition. Then
one day he comes in from work and the parrot motions him over with his
wing, "Pssst, I don't know if you should know this or not, but your
wife opened the door to the milkman this morning wearing just a
see-through nightie and kissed him passionately."

"WHAT???" asks the man in disbelief. "Then what happened?"
"Well the milkman came into the house and lifted her nightie and began
rubbing her all over," reported the parrot.

"MY GOD!" exclaims the bloke. "Then what?"

"Then he began licking her large breasts, then her tummy, slowly
working his way down....."

"WELL!!! THEN WHAT HAPPENED?" he boomed.....

"FU&@K KNOWS, I GOT A HARD ON AND FELL OFF THE PERCH!!!!!!"

Terror looms nearby

So JP, the love Ninja, is in the country. Rumour has it that the secret agents at MI6 do sceem him to be a possible security risk. They have been tracking his movements and they noticed his frolicking in the middle east. The conclution is easy to make.

Love ninja + 70 days in Dubai + slight tan + Turban = Terrorist Bomber

If I had any say I'd kick him out of this country too, who knows what kinda bad people he mixed with. Here I have evidence proving that he has once felt up the devil herself:

Hey All
Ben has finally just taught me how to do this.

I am burried under a ton of presentations and readings, but really well otherwise. This picture is in honour of the momentous weekend occurring September 3rd 2005. Ben is coming to visit Adam and I in New York. I am so excited! I hope NY will survive the Backflip.

Holland is lovely, tulips and a little bit of sunshine every now and then. I wish we could get one or two South Africans here. Please come visit us!

Stella is doing well, fast becoming an impressive international lawyer of sorts. But of course WE ARE HOMESICK! It looks like I can only come home in April so... I will have to settle for Christmas in Cairo this year. Perhaps just a very secular festive season, it seems. At least it will be African.

Anyway hope you are well. Send me some Africa pictures please

Cheers

Funny Feeling

Morning Morning

Since I took a much needed country living weekend I would imagine that i am the freshest feeling fella on Die Emmers. I know for a fact that Mr. J had a monster of a friday night cause i was awoken in the wee hours of the Saturday morning by female voices. I say voices cause initially I thought there was five of them. Then as I was waking up I realise that there is only one but she she was speaking as much as a Girl's school assembly on the day Sex and the City ended.
Needless to say he had his hands full.
Anyone else get lucky?


Then Big up to Mclaren. I am will now take bets for the season. A case a windhoek says that Kimmi is going to take the constructor's home. Any takers? Come on, dont be a wuss. K-mac, I know you are rooting loudly for Renault so lets make it interesting.

Its true, if you had to line up all the pantomime events that define our current frame of mind, the day that featured the least would be Thursday.
Except of course if you take the invention of the retina scan or the Battle of Bessies Rivier (which was more of a rock throwing competition).

Well all that has changed. Thursday is the new Wednesday.

This is going straight to the pool room

A woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected:
2 litres of low fat milk,
a carton of eggs,
2 litres of orange juice,
a head of lettuce,
half a dozen tomatoes,
and a 250g pack of bacon.
As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a
drunk standing behind her watched carefully as she placed the items
in
front
of the cashier.
While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk calmly stated,
"You must be single."
The woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was
intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since she was indeed single.
She
looked at her
seven items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about her
selections that could have tipped off the drunk to her marital status.
Curiosity getting the better of her, she said "Well, you know what,
you're absolutely correct. But how on earth did you know that?"




The drunk replied, "Cause you're kak ugly."

Friday the 13th

What are the chances, I was moseying through Malmesbury this morning oblivios that I was being followed by Officer Cornelius (pictured below) and not only did he Give me a R300 fine for talking on my cell, but a furter R500 for my car registration having ended 2 days ago. He did let me off for driving 62 in a 60 zone. Posted by Hello

We need more people like you, Officer Conrnelius, to keep the streets safe.

Thank goodness he didnt do a little check up on my outstanding tickets or i might be snuggled up to a grain farmer that crossed over to the dark side in the Malmesbury chookie (thats pseudo Afrikaans for Jail).

Hello Dear Emmers

Apologies for the radio silence, but I have had my nose preeeeeeettty close to grindstone as I am away next week. Daddy is going to miss you all very much and in equal amounts (except for you Sera, you get a little more).

My beard has been trimmed, shaven, trimmed, left, trimmed and I am now leaving it until the wedding, when it will be lightly trimmed to accentuate my chiseled features for the bridesmaids.

Ben... Jared ... look after Mama Kapa for me while I am away in the Big Ashtray. Geniet die Cheese Party op Saterdag aand, as ek hier was so ek Gou - da wees!

Friday and we are still sober

When time at the office weighs down to heavy, you can always escape to your speed boat and go save some Chickies. Yes people it is the Hoff Game (thanks Robert Clayton). Posted by Hello

The aim of the game is to pull a girl on-board. To do this, you need to throw the buoys at them. Click on the furthest bouy to the left, then click on David. the longer you hold the mouse button, the further the throw.
You
need to click on a new buoy after you've thrown one at a girl.
Before you press start, put your name in the field "Dein nickname

Any event, once it has occurred, can be made to appear inevitable by a competent historian.

Its going to be a loooooong Friday, keep it comming.

And just for the record, I know its important for SA rugby, but bugger it. I'm still supporting the Stormers tommorow.
GO THE STORMERS, you have to give it to a team that dresses to look like a brandewyn and Coke.

Keep fighting the good fight

Kerry die Rowwe Cherry

O nearly fell off my chair when I saw that Kerry put on a post. You are actually more than a pretty face (ok and a good laugh and a good reflexologist and a good experimental chef).
Go Rosemary aswell, you guys rock.

Just came back from the land of the Orange. Nice and green and friggin freezing. But a brother is not complaining, we waited long enough for this rain and we are not allowed to complain until at least the 17 of June.
Speaking of June: Mr. Lindors, we have not heard any feedback from your beard growing. Mr. J is looking like a black polar bear and I have just left the "Count of Monte Cristo" phase and gone head first into the "Ichy and scratchy" phase. Next up "So, are you with the circus?" phase.

Where in the World is Esmarelda? Free tequila for the first one to give me a correct answer and a map to point it out. We cant be losing our reporters,

Tip of the day: Never rent a car from Imperial. (i'm not gonna get into it, but trust me, pay the extra R30 for Avis, and you will live a happier life).

Going to keep it short incase it doesn't! hope your all well, missing you xRo

Fortunately, there is no sun in Cape Town today!

Hope that you are all well? Hope to hook up this week-end, maybe a little Richmond Str get together, a nice roast! 60% chance of rain! Will work on Damon and let you all know!
Let me tell you all, working half days is the bomb....definitely the way to go!
Have a great Thursday and let's all hope that I become a little more creative over the next few
weeks!

Morning achievers
You might remember that we used to have a small black buddy called Pongo. What happened to him. One story is that he has gone to join the cast of new porno remake of the "A-team: A stands for Anal". Another story is that he has been eaten by that monster we like to call Jozi. If this is true then he is sitting behind a desk right now working his little fingers oto the bone for dreams of houses on Golf courses and trophy wives that can cook and balance a spreadsheet.
Pongo come home.

If you have seen this brother of absolute smooth, give him a hug and tell him that Herpes is not the end of the world, it is only the beginning

A desk is a dangerous place from which to watch the world.
John le Carre (1931 - )
