The path of least resistance

Think of a toffee apple, got it, now imagine it being driven over by a combine havester. Now image that toffee apple is my head and then you will know how I feel.
Am I getting old?
Is midweek boozing a thing of the past?
ahhhhh, enough thinking.

Here are some cool things to waste your time if you are low profiling like me today:

• How to skate on your friend
  • 
• Teletubbies on Acid (freaky
• A real friggin giant man Robot
• The coolest game where you kill everyone in you office (recomended)

oh the shame

She's COMMING!!!!!

Got this little mail from a client about 2 days ago and I thought it it really applied to our lives aswell in some sense. I've put in brackets the changes that I would like to make:

To All D** Exporter Partners (DMer readers),

Just a quick note to tell you that D**'s main office ( DMer's main contributors) and most of South Florida (the Jam Jar) will be closed for business today ( Monday) due to the impending arrival of Hurricane Wilma (DMer Camping weekend). The wind is already howling outside my window (We all ready started buying booze) so it is only a matter of a few hours(3 days) before the big winds get here (the possy pitches their tents) and we lose power (ability to walk upright) and hopefully nothing else (our minds).

Sales will continue from our satelite offices in other states, ( it will look like they are making sense)but until this weather event is through, and the resultant damage (hangovers and unexplained injuries) is surveyed , the office will be closed. We hope to be back in business Tuesday, 25th October( Next week sometime).

Please keep all those in the hurricane target zone (the people downstream) in your thoughts.

Regards (rock on)

Judo Chop Friday

I feel greatness comming our way this Friday, Can you smell it people, no need to get up from your desk, just take a whiff. There it is. Its called premonition baby, this Friday is gonna rock. I dare you to go out tonight to prove me wrong. I can see you standing there, sipping your martini, trying to beat the scattered ho's off with a stick and then thinking to yourself: "You know that Jammin fella was right, i am actually having fun, this party rocks, this whole evening rocks, he has got the gift, i must make a mental note to listen to him next time and wear my lucky underpants."

Now in the spirit of being right, i bring 2 new cocktails that have been invented by some of Die Emmers while trying to explain why they have lost their shoe and smell of lavender.

• Die Blou Bull ( you gotta drink this for the ruggers this weekend anyway) Method-Take one Red Bull and two shots of Brandewyn and if you are really flamboyant you can add some Bols Blue. Result- Steek soos 'n perdeby, naai soos 'n kwagga

• The Jammini (look good without the vermouth) Method- Take 3 shots good vodka, pour it into your matini shaker and add some ice and one shot lime. Now shake it like it was appart of you. Strain it into a martini glass and put in two Vodka soaked olives. Result- Stamp daai boude lam
  

Now if you need to waste some time, i recommed that you train your reflexes

Kung Foo typing

How many words per minute do you type, take the simple test here.

I actually suck quite a bit at this, try beat 42 words per minute. Then when you are finished with that, go have a look at this. It will make you love yourself all over again.

Straight to the pool room

If you buy (or illegally download) one CD this month, make sure its the new White Stripes; Get behind me Satan. ( is that a rather disconcerting title, or is it just me). It really rocks like the rock rocking on a rocking chair made outa rock, but dont listen to me, listen to these guys:

"Their fifth album, Get Behind Me Satan is the strangest and least focused effort by these unlikely garage rock superstars to date. It's also their finest"

"While other bands try to replicate the magic of their freshman debut, The White Stripes are busy honing their skill, creating music that has soul, feeling, and ideas"

"The album rolls along at this great pace and seems to end before the listener is ready"

update:

Jane Says: "Raise the goblet of Rock"

No if you know what is cool then you can stop reading right here.

Buuuut if you need a little help from your friends, you need to go watch the coolest rocking band to come out of Cape Town this year. They are called Jane Says. The lead singer is a crazy monkey boy from MMauritiusand also happens to be one of the top freelance graphic designers in the country. And he can rock your panties off. They are playing at the Independant Airmchair theatre at 10 so it would be best if you go a little earlier.

Then looking at the gig guide I see the Tornado's are playing on the 15th, and you sure as hell cannot miss them either. Its a feast for the senses.

Now put away those puzzles, those playstationconsoles, those harry potters, those knitting needles and invest in some crazy midweek madness

Jackie, jou lekka ding, have a happy snappy 24th Birthday

From all your peeps at Die Emmers, have a Monster and may your year be filled with handsome strangers, lazy afternoons on the beach, jungle adventures, bolamakisies, rockin dance floors, champagne fountains, designer handbags and an acute allergy to Heat magazine.

Come on People - Its SUMMERTIME!!!

I am dismally disappointed by the complete and utter lack of enthusiasm for that cataclismic event that only comes around once a year. Summertime with a capital S ( and a small ummertime).

Show some enthusiasm, need I remind you:

1. Mojito's at the Radisson
2. Sunday lunch at Chapman's peak Hotel
3. Layering your tan at Boulder's beach
4. Cocktails at Baraza
5. Bolamakisies at La Med
6. Frisbee championships at Camps bay beach
7. Breakfast at Olympia Cafe (lunch at Cape to Cuba)
8. Kirstenbosch Summer concerts
9. Huis Noordelike Roof parties
10. Braaiing every weekend
11. Casa du Veldtie Pool parties
12. The Homecoming of our foreign Saffers

(If I missed something please enlighten me in our comment section.)

So if you havent started being exited, nows the time. Invite some mates over, have a cocktail, orgastrate a braai, go chip some golf balls, score a foreigner, do a wine tour, do a foreigner on a wine tour while she is chipping your golf balls, you know; summer things.

Post from Word

Ahhhh, to be in my Monday is like being beaten to death with a teaspoon. Not really painfull, just exasperating and annoying.
But I am here to make your posting life a little easier. Our friends at Google have been working very hard in becoming part of every facet of your computing life. Now they have provided us with the ability to post straight from Microsoft Word. Pretty damn cool. (well not for Mac users, sorry Sera). All you gotta do is go here and follow the easy steps.

The benefits are endless. If your boss is looking over your shoulder it looks like you are writing something important. You get the old spell check and synonyms functions (there is no synonym for synonym). Now there is no excuse for lack of posting.

Thats not your orange

Being your camp master it is my duty to inform you that the "Thats not your Orange" getting back to our roots River camping weekend has moved to a more desirably accomidating weekend.

Everyone get out your diaries and page to the 28th October. Now write down:" Tent pitchin, outside kitchin, bolama-bitchin, weekend.
then:
Those with ketties - pack 'em,
Those with bakkies - stack 'em,
Those with boobies - rack 'em,
Those with sarmies - snack 'em,

Now enjoy your Vrydag

Pongo Accident report

Mister Big City Himself, Tim Pongweni, tells the the sordid tale of why he should stay off a bike:

"Basically after a grueling race. Where 6km prior to the accident I had been hit by double cramp in both legs, one leg in the quad and hamstring. I had to get off my bike and go thru that mental battle that I know we have all been thru in various competitions (that's why we do these things) After finally convincing myself that the cramps would go and that I had to finish the race I mounted my bike and began the battle up the last steady incline. Some dude yelled that there were only 2km left. When I heard this I thought hallelujah raise your game boy. As I
was getting into my stride I heard this loud hoot. I was well on the left hand side and thought that the hoot could not possibly be for me.

So I turned my head to check what was going on and as I did I heard this loud bang. As I heard the bang I felt myself launch into the air. As I launched into the air I remember saying to myself. Oh my god I have been hit by a car, oh my god look how high I am, oh my god this is the way I am going to die-this sucks! I hit the ground heavily. The impact and the flight reminded me of the days when you could be tackled in the air going for the high ball. No jokes I think I may have done a little tuckand roll, since only my left side was damaged. As I hit the ground panic struck. The double cramps hit me again and I saw this deep hole below my knee, I thought my leg was broken. I immediately flicked my toes to check whether I could feel them, then my fingers, cool everything in order. So I tried to get up and as I did sharp pain in my back. Fack my back is broken. So I lay there thinking this was it my back is broken over some fackin nowhere cycling race in the East of Jhb. This amazing lady Bridgette came and started talking me thru the pain and feeding me with water. Another woman ran across to find out if I was still alive and described how I flew in the air like a rag doll.

When Amos finally arrived I felt a bit of comfort. Well a bit of comfort, all I remember is Amos looking at me and looking as if he was about to burst into tears, and nobody likes to see a grown man crying. I don't think he could bring himself round to saying that everything would be alright! Not only is it when you are suspended 3m in the air do you realize that you should not take those close to you for granted. But also the running around that Amos, Mat and Berman did for me. It made me realize what great friends I have and how lucky I am to have formed such bonds. I don't think I will ever forget the accident, but mostly I don't think I will ever forget the kindness of the complete stranger Bridgette, and my friends".

Tips for your Tongue

Morning Emmers
Went a little wine tasteting last night at the Veritas wine awards. Only gold and double gold winners where showcased which means it was a evening on incredibly incredible wines.
Here are a couple that knocked my socks off (write these down for the next time you are on a hot date):

• Groot Constantia Semillon/ Savignon Blanc
• Haut Espoir Chardonnay Reserve
• Jordan Chardonnay
• Tokara White Sauvignon Blanc
• Graham Beck The Joshua
• Goedverwacht Maxim Ltd Release Cabernet Sauvignon
• Pulpit Rock Pinotage - this is a keeper

And the real miracle is that my hangover never came a knocking. There is a lesson here, but I can't really see it.

Genuis strikes at 3

For the last how long my dreams have taken the shapes of movies. And the lead actor is not always me. I actually once had Meryl Streep acting as a Serial Killer in 70s South Africa. There is normally a big opening scene, plot, the works, that is why I was so freaked out when last night I woke up at about 3 and for the life of me I could not stop thinking about creating a TV show. Its mad what my brain does to me. It forced me to even start writing the opening scene, but now in retrospect I think the show could actually be a hit.
I call it Karavaan Kinders. Its a comedy about what really happenes in white trash caravan communities. You all remember that e-mail that went around with Timmi from the camp site and how he tell his story about all his family and friends. Well I smell good comedy here. Remember your favourites:


If anyone from TV is reading this give us a call, we'll do lunch. I bet it will be better than Scoop Scoembie. And it will be politally correct. What can be better that laughing at poor whites, and they will not get offended cause they will be watching Idols.

I want Colin Moss to play the main disfunctional narrator and then PJ Powers to play his mother. We can have Frank Opperman playing the Camp Pedophile and hopefully Heinz Winkler as the retard (he is so difficult to book these days). Solid TV gold here, people, just what we need to feel good about ourselves.

All over it like white on rice

"Recently there has been some debate as to who the President of the Internet is and how they came to power. The concerned parties mutually agreed that because Google is unbiased and somewhat democratic it would be used to determine the current President of the Internet. Whoever holds the top search result for “President of the Internet” will in fact be the President of the Internet. This is an ongoing election. It can, and will change from day to day."

That shit is just crazy man, who needs a prez - o- dent, when you can have a bathtub like this:
Hey JP, imagine some good quality time with your Sport illustrated in here...

Keep it classy Cape Town

Its a Teusday and all is better over here. Some might notice a big weekend build up comming on the friday and the when you want a report back on Monday all is dead in the valley of the buckets. Its that bloody post hangover hangover, the one that disables your personality, no matter how hard you try you aint gonna say anything funny to nobody. I call it the Bag o' Rusks syndrome, Allot of spaces and not much holding them together.

So it time to spoil yourself with a early Christmas pressy
