Chuck Norris does not wear pink!

Wow, what is it with pink shirts? Working in a building with a good deal of "fashion" people I noticed a few of the men here wearing pink shirts as far back as six months ago, and I thought it was gay. Now, every second guy out there is wearing a damn pink shirt. It's bloody peer pressure I tell you! If you could go up to the average guy wearing a pink shirt in the street, go back in time six months and offer him a pink shirt for free, he'd probably beat the living shit out of you in homophobic rage. I've got nothing against gay men, brokeback mountain sounds kinda cool, but pink shirts are just so girlie!

Speaking of Brokeback Mountain, here's an alternate concocted by DJ Coffman of Yirmumah fame. Ladies I'm going to bet that you have no problem getting you man to tag along for: Bareback Mountain.......



Check this out, at worst it's a brilliant scam, at best it's kinda gross. These guys over at LifeGem will take the 'carbon remains' of a loved one and turn them into a diamond for you. What's more, they only need 8oz, or about a cup, of ashes to do it. Can you imagine losing a leg and having that made into your own personal gem.

And on the Living in South Africa Front

It's always good news when we find out that Capetonians may face power rationing. Yes they recon they may have to ration our power over the winter months to make sure the recent power failures are not repeated. Speaking of power failures I'd better just save this post quickly.

Also nice to see that certain factions within the ANC are opposing others that are calling for another presidential term for Thabo Mbeki. I do however suspect that they are opposing the extra term not for their love of the constitution, as they'd have us believe, but rather for their dislike of the prez. Don't you guys out there think that it's strange that the ones opposing an extra term for Thabo were JZ's biggest supporters?

Other Stupid People Around the World

A shipment of frozen beef going into Bulgaria was stopped by customs officials when they noticed that it was 22 years old. According to the health certificate it was loaded in Ireland in 1984! The dodgy paperwork wasn't what tipped them off though, it was that the meat was blue.

What would you expect to find when reading the ingredients label on a pack of sliced cooked ham? Well no matter how disgusting your answer I'm sure it's better that "Dog Shit". That's what some dude in the UK found listed when he inspected the product in a local store. The company who makes the ham denies using faecal matter in its product and claims to have fired the prankster responsible for the labelling joke, but we know the truth. Next time you think to yourself "Man, this sandwich tastes like shit!", you'll check for ham right?

Anyway, I'm reinstalling windows tonight, wish me luck.
