Hey, April is almost over. But the madness not. Let’s look at the weak as it happened.
1. Dude, I just smoked the house
Those bloody Aussies. They are taking us all for a ride. No wait. More like a riiiideeee, dude. And sometimes just taking the piss. But good for them. See, they are always trying to find new ways to pull a fast one – those damn Aussies. Give them half a chance… And now they are using the “green” debate out there to create new “eco-friendly” ways of living their lives. I always knew they were a bunch of pot smoking Irish convicts entrepreneurs. But the latest one take the cake. Or should I say “brownie” (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). The Aussies are now claiming that they are building “green” houses by using hemp. Yep. That’s pretty green hey. I think it is because they first have to dry out the leaves. What better way than build a house of dope leaves and leave it to the Australian sun to dry it out nicely. And when it is nice and dry? “Sorry officer, I have no idea how the fire started. The house just went off in flames…” Dude. What a plan, maaan. That’s dope man. And I mean it. But they didn’t stop there. The other question they faced? What to do with all that… hum… pee that comes from drinking too much XXXX. Just recycle it brother. Yes. Recycled water. I guess they can use that when they burn the house. Or burn the house when they drink the water. I would. Just to get the taste out my mouth. I think the Aussies are taking the piss.
Okay, we are now officially… hum… you know… stuffed. Global Warming is going to wipe us out. Or maybe not. It seems as if we might now have two ways to die as Global Warming creeps up as bites us in the more delicate places. We can either fry in the heat or be bombed to smithereens. At least we have a choice now. All thanks to the Royal United Services Institute. And no, that isn’t some think-tank about Prince Charles and his bevy of servants – it’s the “leading forum in the UK for national and international Defence and Security”. Founded in 1831 by the Duke of Wellington, RUSI is the oldest institute of its kind in the world. Yes, the same guy who gave us those nice rubber boots to walk with in British crap rainy weather also gave us a think-tank to come up with new ways of justifying war. Thanks Duke. Anyway, the RUSI says that Global Warming will get so bad that we will go into wars that will last for centuries and will be worse than the previous two World Wars. So I guess we need more military funding then hey? Nice one – not even Dick could think of a better way to keep Halliburton in the black for a hundred years or more. I do see a little flaw in their argument though. If Global Warming will fry us all – how come we can still be alive to fight wars for a few hundred years? Hum… that’s the thinking part. You concentrated a little bit too much on the tank part buddy. DO YOU HEAR ME SOLDIER! OOH-RAH! (Sorry Marines.) Never mind, at least I will have those Wellington boots when the sea levels start rising.
3. ZZ Top
Yes, it is the battle of the Z’s. Zambia against Zimbabwe. And I am cheering for Zambia. I love Zambia. The most peaceful nation on earth. Never been in a war – internal or external. And you have to know Zambians to know why. The nicest people on earth. And they didn’t even have to build those Aussie “green” houses to be laid back. Okay, also one of the poorest nations on earth. But that didn’t stop them from standing up to the tyrant of the South – Mad Bob Mugabe. You see, China is trying to deliver some weapons to Zimbabwe. Yes, war and instability pays – just Halli and Burton. Back to the South. First the trade unions in South Africa refused to unload the weapons (well done comrades – what we call them back home). And they called Mad Bob out for the coward that he is. You don’t mess with a unionist in South Africa. The Teamsters are as tough as accountants compared to the South African version. If they say the ship won’t be unloaded… then the ship won’t be unloaded. Ever. Even the rats were to scared to make a move on the ship or dare get off the ship. Anyway, Zambia decided to show some political leadership sadly lacking from my own beloved government. President Mwanawasa from Zambia stood up and stood strong. Saying that any weapons delivered to Mad Bob’s puppets can and will undermine any possibility of breaking the violence and intimidation in Zimbabwe. And the Great Chinese ship turned around and headed back home. Head hanging down in shame and tail between their legs. I love Zambia even more. Now. If we can only get Mwanawasa to target a few other warmongers out there. Dick, you beter watch out. You might just piss off anger a Zambian. And as Mad Bob just realized, that ain’t no pretty thing to face.
“You talking to me? You talking to me?” Some of the last words heard at the McDonald’s drive-thru before the shoot-out at the OK Corral Golden Arches. You see, Makyala Hall went for her standard quality dinner at McDonalds and knew that you have to wait to get quality. I mean really, Le McDonald’s isn’t just some fast-food take-out joint. It’s the premier dinner destination in Tulsa. You’ll know what I mean if you’ve been to Tulsa. So Makyala waited patiently for her food at the rathole restaurant that inspired Gordon Ramsay. But after an hour she thought this might be taking a tad longer than what she expected. It is a crappy joint gourmet restaurant, but she ordered drive-thru. And she couldn’t idle her car waiting for her bag of fat handmade burger the whole evening – not with gas prices being the way they are. So she marched up to the manager and told him where to stick his fries where the burgers don’t fit. A super-sized verbal fight broke out and he flipped her faster than those patties. And then good old Madman Thurman showed up. The Cola dude from behind the counter. But he was off duty and stuffed with either beer or Quarter Pounders. In other words – he was drunk with power. I mean, he is the Spongebob of Tulsa. And he was faster on the draw than on the service. And shot the guy in the car behind Makayla when he interrupted their little argument about whether the King can take out Ronald. And all he wanted was some ketchup with his fries. He made it though. Still alive. But just. See the health nuts were right – McDonald’s can kill you.
And I am talking about the one on the left. Not the smiling paw-paw in the middle or the smiling papa on the right. They are so not cool. It’s drool, not cool. But Jenna. If you take the two pees peas puh-lease P’s away and she might just look like she is at a Metallica concert. Okay, not a fan of Metallica, but you get my drift. Anyway, it seems as if she might actually think before she decides who to vote for. Now stay with me people. Yes, a Bush that can think before they take an action. Any action. I know, this is revolutionary. Or maybe evolutionary, but it is happening. I actually don’t care who she votes for. I just like the fact that she refused to be put in a little box when asked who she will vote for. Remember, her mother was sitting next to her and just said that she will vote for “the Republican”. And when Larry asked Jenna? She said she wasn’t sure as she hasn’t made up her mind yet – and then followed this up with, “I mean, who isn’t open to learning about the candidates and I’m sure that everybody is like that“. Huh-duh, like half the US isn’t open to learn sweetheart. Okay Larry, you actually got someone to not agree with their mother in public. I hope you feel proud. You should. Great work Jenna. Now, if only I can talk to you about a little war thing going on.
That’s all folks. Have a good one and speak to you later.

“You don’t mess with a unionist in South Africa. ”

I do like your take on the news.
Having grown up, partially at least, in Sydney ( though very young) and then Tasmania I like to give those Australians kudos, real or imagined.

On Aussies:
I can’t pretend to understand the rivalries going on in That Other Hemisphere, but there must be some hitsorical, er, historical issues here. Otherwise, I would have thought you were talking about hippies dreaming after a good pot party on Queen Anne hill here in the late ’60s. You Lower Hemisphere types can put the fierce snake to shame when it comes to rivalries, that’s for sure. Spitting cobras can’t fire venom farther, neether. Not at all like us superior, rightous, God fearing, upper hemisphere types at all! Nope!
Global warming:
A nuclear winter might just do the trick. Just imagine! We could freeze in a radioactive icy wastland or drown in the 540 extra feet of water due to inundate us if we can’t figure this thing out.
Freeze/glow in the dark or drown. Freeze/glow in the dark or drown. Hmmm…
ZZTop:
The Chin needs a spanking. Really. I remember when Rhodesia first became an independant country and things were going the way they did in SA later, but, appearantly, that chin got to his head. Mbeki was a wet noodle (sorry AA). I can undestand to some extent trying to be a statesman and a compromiser but there are some things that need taking a stand.
Trying to get Morgan T. to agree to a runoff is just like sticking one’s head in the lions mouth. Mbeki, representing the power in the region should have at least swatted the Chin’s knuckles – let alone leave it to the unions to do SA’s foreign policy. I think reverand Tutu and Mandela would both have said that they would not have let that weapon ship dock in Durban.
McDonald’s Leadburgers:
I think since ALL gun owners are responsible, (the NRA says so!), and can NEVER do wrong, all public places should provide guns and ammo free of charge to anyone who wishes to carry one.
That way, God fearing upright American citizens (and of course, being superior upper-hemisphere types anyway) can defend themselves against any would be shooter.
Watch for atmoshperic lead content to rise sharply at public events…
Bush:
Remember, she sat at the table in 2000 when they carved up Florida and served it as an entree. She didn’t say anything then except Grace, so do you honestly think she will argue with her parents about their war?
I can just imagine the domestic spat. Doors slamming, yelling, parental admonishments and the like…
As a last comment, I hope everyone takes my hemispheric chauvanism the way it was intended – as a joke!

@Laura – Yes, comrade Laura!
@Cooper – Funny that. The Aussies. I always rip them off, but they are an amazing bunch of people.
@Keven – Thanks mate! And we know you. Joking about the hemispheric chauvanism. But let’s play rugby and we’ll see the great North/South divide!
