Who Says White Men Can’t Jump?

27 Jul

I’m sure everyone has heard the addage ‘White Men Can’t Jump’.

This obviously comes from the movie of the same name, with Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, from way back in 1992.

You see Billy it's like this, you either smoke or you get smoked. And you got smoked.

You see Billy it's like this, you either smoke or you get smoked. And you got smoked.

Well after this weekends Springboks v All Blacks Game in Bloem to open the Tri Nations for SA, I have to beg to differ. Matfield is a kingpin among men, to use a term I coined myself, he is a ‘Tower Of Strength’ or my other term I have just amde up, a ‘Vertible Collossus’

As Wesley Snipes Character Sidney Deane says in the movie, I don’t mean to brag… but I’m the greatest!

That certainly applies to our Vic.

Victor Matfield, One Jumping Mofo

I was very impressed with the performance of Victor Matfield on Saterday.

This dude brings fear to the opposition with his ability to work out lineout calls. It’s quite often you’ll hear a commentator say… “Matfield has worked out the their lineout calls”

Why? Cos he is the man. We are truly privileged to have him around and Im super thrilled to have him currently playing with Andries Bekker, his obvious heir apparent. It’s a no brainer that he will move on to coach our lineout forwards.

Cos that’s what I would have done… and I’m almost as main as him, cos I can fly.

When I’m dreaming.

Here’s a little diatribe from the movie, between Wesley Snipes Character and Billy Hoyle, played by Woody Harrelson.

Sidney Deane: Can anybody step in for this guy? Anybody? For Mr. Mofo March of Dimes?

Sidney Deane: Billy, listen to me. White men can’t jump.

Sidney Deane: I don’t mean to brag… but I’m the greatest!

Billy Hoyle: You are so stupid. It would take your mother 1, no. 2 hours to watch 60 MINUTES.

Sidney Deane: Don’t start that shit again.

Billy Hoyle: You calling me ugly?

Sidney Deane: Your mother did.

Twitter Wasn’t First

15 May

Seriously it wasn’t first, the Notificator was.

It’s sad when an idea is so way before its time it doesn’t work. If it had worked, we would have heard about it before.

Awesome.

Snoop Didn’t Do It

9 May

So Snoop Dogg has been cleared of klapping some dude at one of his shows. That’s a bit hardcore.

The jury reckons he didn’t hit some dude who invaded his stage waaaay back in 2005.

An Excerpt:

Santa Monica – A civil jury says Snoop Dogg didn’t hit a man who came up on stage during a 2005 concert near Seattle.

The rapper wasn’t in court Friday when the jury’s verdict cleared him of civil assault and battery claims. The jury did find that Richard Monroe Jr suffered serious injuries during the concert and awarded him $449 400 in damages to be paid by a record label, another performer and others involved in the concert.

The damages awarded were substantially lower than the $22 million Monroe sought when he sued the rapper in 2006.

Jurors found that Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, doesn’t personally owe Monroe anything.

During two weeks of testimony, jurors were repeatedly shown a video of a melee that Monroe said left him unconscious, badly bruised and nearly naked.

Nearly NAKED? Geez WTF? Not my Snoop, not the Snoop I know and Love, not the one who brought us THIS?

Pure class that.

The (Techno) Sound of Music

8 Apr

I found this clip of a flash mob doing their ‘thang’ (someone organising this shit either was on or had been on, drugs. The mind altering kind) at the antwerp station.

I love the choice of music, talk about appealing to a wide audience. Also I love how ‘the authorities’ AKA the loudspeaker dude must have been involved and how well positioned the cameraman/men were.

Iv’e seen some stupid flashmob shit before but this one is decent. Well done.
