Letter To Truworths

November 14, 2008 | 2 Comments

When They Harass You For Money.

I love it when people pronounce it “Harris”, like it’s a dude’s name.

Makes it sound like a dirty word. Like I’m going to give you a good “Rogering”. I’m going to “Harris” you until you pay. No?

Okay, moving on then, so here’s - wait! No seriously, don’t you find that funny? Harris? Harris? Not funny?

Alright fine… it’s just me then.

Anyhoo, in the spirit of the spider for money email, here is something along a similar vibe, with more of a local flavour, and involves clothing chain Truworths.

I did a Google Image Search for Truworths, and this came up.

Apparently this is quite old, but we’re bringing it back, retro style, because that is how I roll.

Letter To Truworths From S.Malambo

Next time you get a letter to pay your debts from your creditors, be sure to remember S.Malambo’s letter.

Letter To Truworths

Dear Sir/Madam

I acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 1 May in which for the third time, you request that I pay the monies owed to you. I first want you to know that by no means do I dispute my debt and I intend to reimburse you as soon as possible.

However, I bring to your attention that I have many more creditors, quite as honourable as you, and whom I wish to reimburse too. That is why, each month, I throw all the names of my creditors into a hat and draw one randomly whom I hasten to refund immediately. I hope that yours will come out shortly.

Sincerely Yours,
S.Malambo

PS: I have great regret in informing you that given the unceremonious tone of your last letter, you will not be taking part in the next three draws.

Classic.

Midi, Maxi and Efti - Ragga Steady

November 14, 2008 | No Comments

Friday Feel Good Jam #13

It’s 14 November 2008, so it’s only fitting then, that we feature the music video of Midi, Maxi and Efti with their 90’s smash hit “Ragga Steady”.

I’m not quite sure what their vibe was all about, I think they were from Africa or something, judging by their casual attire.

Cool song, a “head bobber” I believe it’s called.

The lead singer looked as if she could be hot. I could never be sure though, which is why I never claimed her.

George W Bush Is A Freak

November 14, 2008 | 1 Comment

Digs The Shocker Vibe.

Bush: Showing Off His Favourite Move.

Bush: Showing Off His Favourite Move.

Steve O and I were staring at the internet the other day (yesterday) when suddenly this pic of George W. Bush popped up.

“Christ, he is showing off the ’shocker’ technique,” exclaimed Steve O with great surprise.

“What’s the ’shocker’ technique?” I asked innocently, making sure to highlight the inverted commas with my hands when I said the word “shocker”.

Steve O fell on his back, dusted himself off, and then went on to explain what the Shocker is actually all about. Strangely, he quoted Wikipedia’s definition word for word, which I found surprising, until I remembered that he actually invented Wikipedia back in 19voetsek.

The shocker is a hand gesture with a sexual connotation. The ring finger and thumb are curled or bent down while the other fingers are extended. The index and middle fingers are kept together (touching) and the back of the hand faces outwards (away from the gesturer). The gesture refers to the act of inserting the index and middle fingers into a vagina and the little finger into the unwitting anus, hence the “shock”. Because of its explicit sexual connotation, the shocker is sometimes considered vulgar. Occasionally, the thumb may be positioned so that it may stimulate the clitoris. Mnemonic rhymes are used in order to remember its meaning, including “two in the pink, one in the stink,” and “two in the goo, one in the poo.” [via Wikipedia and Steve O]

Sies. That’s more than a little disgusting, but now I know what the Shocker is, and now you know too.

Barack Obama Facts

November 14, 2008 | 1 Comment

Things You Didn’t Know.

The O' Bomber - Owning Them On The Basketball Court.

The O' Bomber - Owning Them On The Basketball Court.

I am a giver, like a genie who has just been freed from his lamp, and now wants to satisfy you in a non-sexual way. Today we will look at some interesting facts about Barack Obama, facts you can now casually throw out with great authority, next time there is a lull in conversation at the braai, around the dinner table, or on the hard wood lounge floor when you’re being “spontaneous” with your lover.

Here with some facts then, which have been sourced from around the “internet”:

  • He collects Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comics.
  • He was known as “O’Bomber” at high school for his skill at basketball, and even today will own you on the court.
  • He won a Grammy in 2006 for the audio version of his memoir, Dreams From My Father, which sold 100 million copies worldwide.
  • He is left-handed – the sixth post-war US president to be left-handed. He is also black. The first US president to not be white. And crusty.
  • He has read every Harry Potter book, including ones that haven’t even been written yet, and thinks Voldemort is “a bit of a prick”.
  • He can speak Spanish, Afrikaans and a little bit of Xhosa.
  • He smokes cigars and cigarettes, but only when he plays poker.
  • He really enjoys playing poker.
  • He can bench press an impressive 2000lbs.
  • He has been to the moon. Twice.
  • His favourite movies include Casablanca, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Pooty Tang.
  • He lists his favourite musicians as Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, and Dr Dre.
  • He was given the code name “Renegade” by his Secret Service handlers.
  • He plans to install a basketball court in the White House grounds.
  • For many years, he was referred to as “Barry”, until university, when he asked to be addressed by his full name.
  • His hobbies and interests include “kicking ass” and “taking names”.
  • His second name is “Awesome”.
  • He would have liked to have been an architect if he were not a politician.
  • He is an avid Springbok rugby supporter, and has a poster of Percy Montgomery on his bedroom wall.
  • On his desk he has a carving of a wooden hand holding an egg, which is a Kenyan symbol of the fragility of life.

Mmm, I’m not going to lie, some of these facts sound just a little far-fetched to me. I mean, he wanted to be an architect? REALLY now?

Anyhoo, don’t fret about it, said with the right conviction most people will believe anything you say.

It’s like that one night a few years back when I was trying to impress this chick at Contis in Claremont and I told her I was a doctor, then this old-looking guy collapsed on the dance-floor and she somehow expected me to resuscitate him.

Needless to say I failed, and he unfortunately suffered permanent brain damage, but today Barry Hilton is regarded as one of South Africa’s top comedians, so I think everything worked out for the best.

Boom! Boom! Call the ambulance, I am on fire today.
