Welcome Home Bokke

I've been up since early watching the build up to the welcoming home of the BOKKE. Just when I started getting bored of waiting, a news broadcast was interrupted to show them coming through the gates of OR Tambo. It made me smirk thinking of all the movies that rip off the American TV channels when they announce "We interrupt your regular programming to bring you this special news broadcast". Anyway, the crowds erupted with shouts and cheers welcoming their heros home. The BOKKE kept their pose, but I think I would have gotten more emotional that they did from (1) winning the Ellis and (2) seeing how much they have impacted the fans that have been waiting for them at the airport since 2am.

My enjoyment turned sour when the minister was interviewed in Cape Town and said that the team did not reflect South African demographics, and that the black kids did not have the same resources as the white kids. I think that he should rather focus on fixing that than wanting to slice and dice the team to fit demographics.

ALLOW US TO BUILD ON OR SUCCESS STOFILE! DON'T KILL THE SPORT NOW!

Anyway, I'm going to watch the press conference now.

Cleanliness & War

They say cleanliness is next to Godliness. I think my son will be very Godly when he grows up. He has the strangest toy preference. Lost of kids have a favorite teddy bear, a toy car that they take to bed or even a blanky that has to go with to play in the mud outside. My son, give half the chance, will play tug-of-war all day. Check out the pic to see who his formidable opponent is:


I think his obsession is a bit unhealthy though. The vacume cleaner drives him batty most of the time, as these tug-of-war fights usually end in a screaming match!

The Razor

MEN OF THE WORLD UNITE!!

Does your spouse use your razor?

Do you get razor burn from blunt blades?

Are your blades often clogged with leg hair?

I have a sneaky solution for you!!

1. Keep your extra blades somewhere close to where you usually keep your razor.
2. Use a blade till it starts getting bluntish (10 to 1 not because of your own shaving...)
3. Swap the blunt blade for a new, sharp blade. DO NOT DISCARD THE BLUNTISH BLADE!
4. When done shaving, swap blunt & new blade.

This revolutionary secret could save you months on your blades! Hopefully, it will also encourage your missus to buy her own blades. She'll start thinking yours are CRAP!

My New Car... I wish!!

People, meet the Audi R8! I got this from the Audi site a while back, and tonight for the first time I saw an ad for it on tv! Looks like they bringing it to SA! Yippee!! I would love to get my hands on one of these! I accept doantions to my charity fund: "Iguana Joe Needs an Audi R8" leave a comment and I will send you my Paypal addess! ;-) Just kidding!



Any way, the Audi R8 supercar, is based on the Le Mans concept the car is supposed to come in 2 variants, one with an entry-level high-revving 4.2 V8 making 415hp and 430Nm of torque. The top of the line version features a 5 liter V10 from the Lamborghini Gallardo twin-turbocharged to make 610hp and 745Nm of torque.

I don't think I'll sleep tonite!!

BOKKE

Congrats to the BOKKE! It's awesome bringing it home again. Just hope it will not be the last time since merits will no longer have an influence on selection? The atmosphere is great here tonight, the whole town is going ballistic!

Come To Dada

My little dude is finally walking! Today is the first day that he takes more than one step without holding on to something. This part can be good and bad. I remember when my daughter first started walking, she hit her head more than she was on her feet. I hope we don't go through the same with my little dude! We're gonna have to get him a helmet!!

COME TO DADDA! (his first word was Dadda by the way.)

Rugby World Cup 2007 - GO SOUTH AFRICA

Tensions are running high this week. The finals comming up this weekend is probabally the topic of most discussions around the country. My kids think their parents are boring, and are not doing enough to support the Rugby, so they decided that they would start the preparations in their own way. Getting into the true spirit would require face paint right?

SUPPORTERS OF THE BOKKE UNITE!
HOW WILL YOU SHOW YOUR SUPPORT?

YouCan

We went for an outride this afternoon, and I was hoping of sneeking in a late 12/12. I only managed one picture of YouCan before my batteries died!! As you can see, the weather was a bit miserable, but that didn't stop us. The horses got a bit wet while we were grooming them, but by the time we tacked up, the weather lifted. It's quite devastating to see how bare the outskirts of town have become now that they have harvested the forrests. Everywhere they have now started putting up the little security walls that are usually the fore runners of security complexes. Hopefully next time I remember my camers (and batteries), and I'll post some more pics.

Anyway, meet YouCan:

"Take a picture of my good side, dad!"
