Well, not much happened overnight, but incase you haven't been paying attention I've been married for a week.
I did see this rather amusing comic over at Yirmumah. Check it out. It's about luxuries for prisoners, god that sucks.
IN THE NEWS
Ok, I've heard some doozies in my day but the latest from the SPCA on the destruction of breeding birds on Robben Island takes the cake. Apparently it's carnivorous bunnies and not cats ravaging the avian population of the historical island. Read the story, flesh eating rabbits, lol.
Also, according to a study performed by an African think tank, African Security Dialogue and Research, Africa is not spending enough on defense. Apparently the study comes after some European countries are tell African leaders that they will only increase aid if defense spending is cut. I mean what is this defense spending for? Do they seriously think they can defend themselves from the super powers. Seriously they should subcontract their defense, to the USA. It's a brilliant idea, they pay a small premium every year and if somebody (like a backward African neighbor) fucks with them the USA come and sorts the shit out. Honestly just the threat of the USA on their ass is probably a good enough deterrent for invasion.
Our esteemed minister of health has done it again. Manto is now blaming the media for the failure of her advanced anti-AIDS campaign. Apparently over zealous reporting of how JZ took a shower to rid himself of the AIDS virus is to blame for derailing years of advocating garlic and African potatoes.
CONTEST
Ok folks, I haven't had any contest submissions yet. Do I need to remind you that you can win an actual prize on this thing?
I know that the lack of entries has nothing to do with difficulty finding "Bushisims", and to prove my point here is a list of ten rather funny ones, with references.
10) "Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream." —LaCrosse, Wis., Oct. 18, 2000
9) "I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family." —Greater Nashua, N.H., Jan. 27, 2000
8) "I hear there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft." —second presidential debate, St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 8, 2004
7) "You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that." —to a divorced mother of three, Omaha, Nebraska, Feb. 4, 2005
6) "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." —Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004
5) "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." —Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002
4) "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." —Saginaw, Mich., Sept. 29, 2000 (Listen to audio clip)
3) "They misunderestimated me." —Bentonville, Ark., Nov. 6, 2000
2) "Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?" —Florence, S.C., Jan. 11, 2000
1) "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
So go on give it a try.

POKER UPDATE
Some of you folks would already have read this announcement but for those of you who are not on the relevant mailing list:
I know we were supposed to be playing poker this weekend, but due to many people being unable to make it I've moved it to Saturday the 22nd. I'm not sure what the venue will be but I'll let you folks know next week.
The plan is to play a No Limit Texas Hold 'Em cash ring game. So you can join any time and cash out at any time. Play will probably start at about 12ish or maybe 1ish.
Another large tournament has been announced on www.poker.org.za and is happening at the end of the month (the 30th). The buy-in is R300 and first place pays R10,000. Now R300 is a lot of cash for casual players like us, but we'd still like to get a chance to play for the big money. To try and give people a chance I'm busy negotiating with the organisers so that I can run a satellite for their tournament. If I can work out the details the satellite will be a small tournament for ten people with an entry fee of R35, the winner will get a place in the R10,000 tourney and runner up will get R50.
I'd like to run the satellite later in the afternoon on Saturday the 22nd and depending on feed back I may run two. If you're interested please let me know, places are limited to ten people per satellite. This is a chance to win R10,000 off of a R35 stake, a very tempting offer.
I'd also like to make this month's game a "Bring a friend to Poker" event. So go out and recruit people to join us.
If anybody has any questions just drop me a line
MOVIE I WATCHED RECENTLY
I rented "A history of violence" the other day. The movie had great potential, but ended up predictable and boring. None of the real issues in the movie ever got tackled and from a promising start the movie ended as teh suck. Do me a favor, when you watch this movie get to the last scene with Ed Harris and stop watching, your mind will end the story better than the writer and director did.
Anyway, that's it
schpat out.
