Forgive Me! I won't be reading or commenting much this week

I won't be available much this week.

You see I have this other little thing in my life called a job which takes me away from the office this week.

I will be working in a huge round venue called The Coca-Cola Dome Event Venue.  This means I'll be working Build-Up of our annual exhibition from Monday to Wednesday.  I'll be on my feet all day and the days are very long hours so I won't have much time to post, read blogs or comments.  From Thursday to Sunday I'm working The 2010 Gauteng Homemakers Expo.

Either I'll see your there at the Organiser Office or I'll try and pop in and at least moderate my comments.

Burger Braai and Jacuzzi Party

Yesterday friends popped around with a bottle of wine to say hi.  It turned into an imprompto burger braai (aka barbeque) and jacuzzi party.  We all landed up drinking far too much wine and adding about a litre of bubble bath to our jacuzzi. 

The result was a wild party full of giggles, singing and diving into the jacuzzi bubbles!  Yes, I was diving into the jacuzzi...nutcase...

Jim'll Fix It

Traffic Camera 

Jim was happily driving along when he saw the flash of a traffic camera.

He figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit, even though he knew that he was not speeding.

Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed.

Now he began to think that this was quite funny, so he drove even slower as he passed the area again, but the traffic camera again flashed.
 

Jim tried a fourth time with the same result.

He did this a fifth time and was now laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past, this time at a snail's pace.

Two weeks later, lucky Jim got five tickets in the mail for driving without a seat belt.

You just can't fix stupid..

 

Happy Valentines Day

For the Gals

Adam Lambert is my new fav! He may be a little outrageous but I like that about him..  Get jiggy on Valentines Day, y'all.

 

Freaky Friday - Episode Twelve

Freaky Friday again Fuckers!

Theme :  Amishness

Firstly, I'm not making out that the Amish are total fucking freaks!  

They are just such a secretive culture in America that makes everyone think they're either up to no good or that they are freakish oddities (especially in this modern electronic new world). 

The Amish still believe prohibitions or limitations on the use of power-line electricity, telephones and cars. They still drive horse drawn carriages around and have very strict regulations on clothing. Everything has to be plain, handmade and things like zips and buttons are fobidden.  They still use hook and eye or straight pins to fasten their clothes. The women and girls plait their hair and must cover it with a bonnet.  The men wear straw hats and married men and men over 40 must grow a beard.  

Mustaches are foribidded because of their link to the military.  They value rural life, manual labor and humility.  They believe in  minimising contact with outsiders and work at home and work the land.

Members who break church rules may be called to confess before the congregation.  And publicly flogged (I'm kidding - I just added that for spice) Those who will not correct their behavior are excommunicated.  Excommunicated members are shunned to shame the individual into returning to the church.  Members may interact with and even help a shunned person, but may not accept anything — like a handshake, payment or automobile ride — directly from the wayward person.

The Amish do not educate their children past the 8th Grade, believing that the basic knowledge offered up to that point is sufficient to prepare one for the Amish lifestyle.  Why would you want your children to go up being dumb-asses?  Having children, raising them  and socialisation with neighbours and relatives in the Amish culture are the greatest functions. Amish believe large families are a blessing from God.

Breed like rabbits, Fuckers!

Amish church membership begins with baptism, usually between the ages of 16 and 25. It is a requirement for marriage and once a person has affiliated with the church, she or he may only marry within the faith.

Rumspringa (generally refers to a period of adolescence for some members of the Amish that begins around the age of sixteen and ends when a youth chooses baptism within the Amish church or instead leaves the community).   They go wild - doing drugs, having fucking wild Amish orgies that would put us to shame - generally - they party like fucking Rock Stars during this time - with their parent's permission!  Fucking A! 

The vast majority choose baptism after their rumspringa and remain in the church because if they choose to leave the community they are shunned from visiting their families again.
