Girls Gone Wild, A whack single, old sheng, crank calls and a joke

After going through my e-mail, reading the papers, my usual sites and the kbw feed I found some interesting things to share.

First things first, anyone in the States has seen those annoying Girls Gone Wild infomercials that come on late night cable.Well a reporter decided to hang out with the dude who founded the company, and if you ask me he isn't running on all 8 cylinders!You read it and tell me what you think.

Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas has released a single (London Bridge) .I watched the video this morning, now that's 3 minutes and 30 seconds of my life I will never ever get back!This track needs to be taken out of circulation ASAP!

I was flashing back to some of the sheng/slang we used when we were younger.Remember wobbler? This was the word to describe someone who couldnt do something right ie a player who always lost the ball could be called a wobbler. That remind me of cock up which was the same thing.But my all time favourite which is a bit more recent is the term mwaura, this refers to the sound someone makes when they are throwing up after having too much liqour.......mwaaaaaooooooooraaaaaah!!!!!If it was done to the point where someone seemed like they were going to throw up their guts, we would say he has called mwaura,kamau and muriuki! Anyway that enough flashing back for now.In fact since Nick has become a cock up as regards blogging, I am the defacto Flashback King!

I listen to drive time on Capital, the presenters like making crank calls; how people respond to those calls is interesting.It seems that Kenyans are a no nonsense lot!People get really heated real fast and even when told it's crank call more then half of them are still pissed off bigtime.One time an employee had the crew call his boss on the pretext that she had hit their car and driven off.She got really worked up as the Indian asked for her to report to the cop shop and on being told that it was crank call with cold confirmation she confirmed that the dude who ordered the call was her employee.I guess someone now has to find a new way to pay their rent soon!

What happens when an insect falls in a cup of coffee at an international meeting?
The British: will throw the cup into the street and leave the coffee shop for good.
The American: will get the insect out and drink the coffee.
The Chinese: will eat the insect and drink the coffee.
The Israeli will: (1) Sell the coffee to the American and the insect to the Chinese.
(2) Cry on all media channels that he feels insecure.
(3) Accuse the Palestinians, Hizb Allah, Syria and Iran of using germ-weapons.
(4) Keep on crying about anti-semitism and violations of human rights.
(5) Ask the Palestinian President to stop planting insects in the cups of coffee.
(6) Re-occupy the West Bank, Gaza Strip.
(7) Demolish houses, confiscate lands, cut water and electrity from Palestinian houses and randomly shoot Palestinians.
(8) Ask the United States for urgent military support and a loan of one million dollars in order to buy a new cup of coffee.
(9) Ask the United Nations to punish the coffee-shop owner by making him offer free coffee to him till the end of the century.
(10) Last but not least, accuse the whole world to be standing still, not even sympathizing with the Israeli Nation.

Have a nice day....
