Okay! I wanted to do this on Friday, but something happened. No idea what. Buuuuut anyway! This might be even better to get your week started the right way. Some fun videos (and a joke) I picked up this week thanks to Rolling Stone magazine and a music video or two. Hope this gets you ready for a funky week. Have fun. Have a ball. Laugh and smile. And just piss everyone else off with your stupid jokes and laughs.
But let’s start off with a joke first… From Gilbert Gottfried – his favorite joke ever. (Also the most underrated comedian out there today… and yesterday.)
Do bears shit in the woods?
A bear and a rabbit are taking a shit in the woods. The bear turns to the rabbit and goes, “Do you have some trouble with shit sticking to your fur?” The rabbit says, “No.” So the bear wipes his ass with the rabbit.
Now for some video fun…
It’s all in the eyes
Watch the eyes.. Watch it closely…
Bill O’Reilly Remix
Hehe! Now for some “music”… Not really! But Bill “I’m-A-Rightwinger” O’Reilly of Fox losing his cool completely. And some genius made a remix of it. Aah! Be careful what you say online… Let’s dance! But not to his political tune. (Warning – F*ck said often by Bill.)
The horror of Mary Poppins
Did you think Mary Poppins was a nice family film? Think again… It’s a horror… The horror…
McCain “owned”
Oh man, this one is just way to good not to put it up here. It’s not political really. But McCain just got “owned” by Obama singing “I’m never going to give you up” by Rick Astley. The hours this guy must have spend on putting this piece together…
Braai Rules 101
The best (and funniest) braai video I have ever seen. For those non-Souf Efrikans… Watch and learn. And laugh. True Souf Efrikans will notice a few things… Read after watching the video…
This was NOT shot in Souf Efrika! No way! A few clues…
1. The guys are all drinking different types of beers. Won’t happen. It’s Castle or nothing.
2. The houses in the background. We don’t build up like that. We build out. We have space.
3. The rugby ball is not a Springbok rugby ball. Huh?
4. Chipolates. Who the hell braais chipolates? I don’t even know how to spell that, never mind braai it!
5. Notice no one is eating biltong? And there is a guy with a t-shirt and baseball cap. And not one floppy boer hat in site. Unlikely boet. Very unlikely.
Scatterlings of Africa
Now for some music! For those Souf Efrikans somewhere outside the borders of Africa. The Scatterling of Africa… (Saffer – don’t cry boet!) Turn it up and let Africa take you away! This is one song that gets to each and every one of us outside our little place called Efrika…
Love is in the air…
Okay, last one. The last song. But it’s one you should know by now. Get out of your seat… Get ready to dance… Turn it up… And start moving… Love is in the air!
Hope you had fun. Enjoy your week. See you on the other side… Speak to you soon.

And the eyes…funny.
O’R video was quite a production. Some talent there. Made O’R look like he had some rhythm.

ROFL – excellent!

@Amber – At least I wiped…
@ilovemylife – You should really get their music. Get The Best of Juluka. Or maybe The Best of Johnny Clegg. They broke up many years ago when Sipho retired. But Johnny went on with a band called Savuka. They are great. You will love each and every song. I promise.
@newforestdailyphoto – Thanks! Nothing like starting the week with a bit of fun hey? Have a good one!

What a great way to kick off my Monday!! Funny stuff!

Hey AA!
You forgot to add this video. It’s a renactment of your last Braai!
Someone needs to take that nasty Corona and put the fire out!
October 6, 2008 at 2:46 pm
This also seems rather amusing:

@scienkoptic – Thanks! I think… That’s called “caramelized” remember? Got that tip from the two odd brothers… That second video is brilliant. Just so typical Souf Efrika! They’ll actually do that you know!

I try not to put sugar on my meat. I’m still on my diet you know.
what are proper sausages for the braai?
So am I a boet yet?
October 6, 2008 at 5:13 pm
@scienkoptic – Proper sausages for a braai… Called boerewors. Translates into farmer sausage. It’s a thick sausage with a few herbs in it but not too much. Not like those Italian sausages. And not as packed tightly like that either. It’s long and in a spiral. Say about 4 feet at least for a whole “roll” of boerewors. Wait! I’ll go see how Wikipedia defines it… Wikipedia is good for that you know…
Here we go:
“Boerewors is made from coarsely minced beef (sometimes combined with minced pork, lamb, or both) and spices (usually coriander seed, black pepper, nutmeg, cloves and allspice). Good boerewors always contains a reasonable proportion of fat. There is no such thing as “light boerewors”. The sausage is preserved with salt and vinegar (and often contains Worcestershire sauce), and packed in sausage casings. Traditional boerewors is usually formed into a continuous spiral.”
Aah, boerewors. Now I feel like some boerewors boet. Hehe!
Yeah, you’re a boet already!

Scatterlings never get old………………
October 6, 2008 at 6:00 pm
@skuttlefish – You know Scatterlings? Man, and some people thought I was joking last week when I said you were Souf Efrikan… Come now. Drop the accent and show your true Souf Efrikan roots! We know who you really are… Haha!
October 6, 2008 at 6:46 pm
The Scatterling of Africa… (Saffer – don’t cry boet!)
Yes, you got me. Ahhh that song really makes me wanna go back to SA
October 6, 2008 at 7:43 pm
ROFL that is just so wrong and NASTY! Im gonna have to wash my eyeballs out now….
October 6, 2008 at 8:44 pm
@Saffer – I knew that was your soft spot! Haha!
@Amber – Sorry. My humor knows no boundaries! Haha!
