DickHeads and Bombers

Well as usual towards the end of the week enthusiasm to blog tends to wane. I will however tell you that I'm deeply upset by the biker that tried to commit "suicide by schpat" in the traffic this morning.

Picture this: Cape Town, 2005. It's a crowded Freeway, the trafic is bumper to bumper and schpat needs to change lanes. So he indicates, moves over to the side of his present lane and waits for a gap to open. Soon enough a gap does indeed open and schpat calmly starts moving into it. All this is happening at about 1 m/sec. At this point an idiot on a motor bike, who has been travelling between the lanes at about the speed of light, happens upon the scene. Of course he is suitably pissed of that a car driver has the audacity to actually change lanes, which makes him stop, so he protests. Now unfortunately lacking a hooter, and probably also opposable thumbs, he voices his protest the only way he can: be revving his engine to about a zillion rpm resulting in a noise of about a bijillion db. Schpat, totally not expecting this "reasonable" reaction promptly shits himself and moves, very quickly, back over into his lane. Motorcycle-riding dick-head promptly drops clutch, spins wheel, burns rubber and moves 20m to where the next car is changing lanes, stopping right in front of Schpat and leaving a 20m run-up. Schpat thinks: "ramming speed mr sulu!", but manages to restrain self.

Jesus Christ! There are better ways to get yourself killed than relying on me to drive over you!

In the news:

Men really are more intellegent than women.

There are plans to make Cape Town "Go all night" (snigger)

I suppose this isn't that funny if you're one of those people who get hung up on "discrimination" but the rest of you, and even them too if they lighten the fuck up, should be amused by this. Some dude was sent a pre-approved credit card in the name of "Palastinian Bomber". Now who wouldn't get a kick outa having that embossed on their plastic?

Here is another flash thingy, more challenging and addictive.

The SchpatDope for tomorrow is shaping up nicely. It's the most difficult question yet.

PS: Oh yea, that dog that zenstar posted about yesterday was on the late night e-tv news. Man it almost made me want to puke!
