17th April 2013 - Washington DC


Roy and I have just returned from Washington DC where we allowed to sit in on a Congressional discussion on gun control, or the lack of it. After the shocking attacks at Sandy Creek and many other states in America, it looked a shoe-in for Congress to pass a bill to screen background checks on all prospective gun owners. After a five minute debate, the common sense legislation was unfortunately blocked by the senators who bowed to financial pressure from the NRA (National Rifle Association) and gun lobbyists.


Senator Speedman
Senator Tugg Speedman, from the backwaters of Tennessee with a genetic lineage few would boast about or want to remember, & with a less than distinguished reputation for shooting more vagrants in downtown Tallahassie on a drunken Friday night than a Wild West, trigger happy stagecoach Robber of the Year, stated that people should be issued guns, licensed or otherwise, from their very first days at primary school, and should be allowed to carry them absolutely anywhere at anytime. The Speedman family are infamous for their forgettable, imitation colt 45 handguns made from imported Sri Lankan recycled steel & notorious for their rusty barrels, and the amount of genetically misconstrued offspring their clan have managed to produce over the years mostly due to their predilection for incestuous proliferation. When quizzed on whether they should be allowed to bear arms at places like the senate gallery and on airplanes, Tugg drawled sardonically, "Now you know, you'all tryin' to trick me now".

The NRA has spent upwards of 25 million dollars to push their misinformation and fear mongering through gun lobbying and a rollout of generous donations to various government departments. America is now one of the less than safe countries on this crumbling planet called Earth, and often targeted by a variety of gun toting madmen, a mishmash of nationalities incorporating a spectrum of education or lack of it, and more often than not instructed by God, and always a malevolent one at that. The fact is that most American adolescents play truant at school for most of their juvenile years of supposed education, experimenting with a shopping list of discovered & soon to be discovered Amazonian & Peruvian herbal drugs while their mothers milk the local priest, usually an Evangelist with his own TV channel, in the back of the family stationwagon next to the school gym parking lot & inbetween spinning classes. The bulk of constituents, at least the ones that had enough discipline to actually attend high school or simply couldn't stomach ganja in the first place, demanded that criminals and lunatics be screened to ensure a safer population under the star spangled banner, but these same concerned voices that elected them were then largely ignored or connivingly appeased. So where to now for the bulk of concerned Americans, educated or not, and including those inventors of the Tommy Gun, Bren Gun & Gattling Gun, to name but a few weapons of mass destruction that have spewed from the predatory minds of American colonialists bent on murder & carnage in the name of self-defense & with guns designed not just to kill, but to annihilate every organ within the human body with one short burst of the trigger...do their voices still fall constantly on deaf ears?


Two of the most famous proponents for the use of guns are the Twelvegage brothers, Billy Joe and Jimmy Bob, notorious for their involvement in the seven hour gun battle with heavily armed members of the Amish community in Pennsylvania a few years back, the latter armed mostly with sycamore scythes, no less.

Needless to say, most of the hapless Amish were simply evaporated by machine gun fire & experimantal biological weapons (mostly from an old Vietnam consignment) in a matter of minutes...game over. The brothers had an arsenal for which most African dictators would happily exchange their village dormitory of ten wives each, never mind the entire national GDP and the annual European food aid budget for feeding Africa's starving millions, money perhaps better spent on shipments of condoms or the building of family planning clinics... or castration clinics, for that matter. The brothers were also great admirers of the ill-fated branch Davidians leader, Vernon Wayne Howell aka David Koresh, who famously perished back in April '93 at the hands of the FBI in a hail of bullets & various experimental explosives bought on the black market with the dissolution of the communist regime & the emergence of Glasnost in the former Soviet Union, now known simply as Putin's Russia.

Jimmy Bob


Theses two sectarian racists, by-products of an inbred ancestry that dates back to another epoch, have travelled the country to ensure the 2nd ammendment from the Bill of Rights is upheld. The land of the free, did I hear??!!!!!

16th April 2013 - Mogadishu


Roy and I have just returned from Downtown Mogadishu where suspected members of the Islamic militants group, Al Kebab, have been running amok in a resurgent re-occupation of the capital. They have predicted more horrific attacks on Mogadishu, said El Kebab spokesman, Sheik Abdialysis Abu Samoosa,

in between bites of fried Cajun goat meat wrapped tightly in a durum roti from the goat meat factory in Timbuktu.
The well organised attacks on the devastated city have made the African peace keeping troops, courtesy of the SANDF Reserves, search door to door to try and flush out El Kebab’s supply of goat meat rotis in an effort to stymie their well organised offensive within the city. The security forces led by Somalia’s finance minister, Morehamhead  Suliemanob, have called upon the one friendly country to come to their aid to buck up security, improve the country’s infrastructure & build his mansion on the south side. 

Ima Loota Tu
The first response came from Haiti’s Minister of Internal Affairs, Ima Loota Tu, who strangely and unexpectedly came to power after the last earthquake, supposedly financing his election campaign from looted goat meat & generally wild game offal. He called from his holiday home on the Isle of White, alongside the world famous rubber duck factory, Soo Mali Yachts inc., to confirm Haitian assistance.


At least one car bomb went off and many jihadists blew themselves up outside the law courts, with two destroying themselves outside the Halaal goat meat processing facility just as a herd of goats were noisily and reluctantly being herded into the mince meat processor. Analysis by the local Labatoire de Monguldishu confirmed Somali DNA contamination in the goat rotis served from the government kitchens during a three hour lunch break during a ten minute government symposium on ”social upliftment under the welfare state”. 

Samoosa leaves his bunker
The reasons for  attacking the law courts was more a symbolic gesture as the incumbent government wanted to reform the judiciary and control their own finances from the various aid donations, and especially to control the Samsung 60” TV imports. The car bomb, reportedly made in an underground laboratory in Lower Manhattan, had the desired effect by demolishing the entire west side of the fortified airport and sending the dated control tower spinning into orbit to its final resting place on the helipad of the nearby UN patrol ship, HMS The Iron Lady. Flights, both in and out, resumed as soon as the dust settled and the runways were cleared of roadkill that had littered the runways prior to the explosion after a UN delegation of 4x4’s had been unloaded en masse from half a dozen customised & overloaded Antonovs.  Samoosa had controlled the whole attack from his bunker under the government buildings, and believes that all the bombings would have been more devastating if the other eight car bombs had functioned as they were designed and, presumably, made to do.  

  
Sheikh Samoosa was highly regarded amongst the Al Kebab Jihadists & had found fame years earlier when he captained the Punjabi Nite Steekers in the inaugural IPL tournament.

He was an extremely quick opening batsman for the Punjabi Steekers & one of his bouncers took half of the Australian Merv Hooghyes' handlebar moustache clean off in the opening over in front of a hundred thousand 'wagons'. The indecisive captain, Wuda Shuda Cuda, dropped him, leading to him losing his lucrative sponsorship with the Ijuba Bru Brewery on Point road in Durban.

He disappeared from the sporting world only to resurface in a wingsuit gliding competition in Katmandu, Nepal.

15th April 2013 - Shanghai


Roy and I have just returned from Shanghai where we were invited by the Cleanup the Air Society of the Somalian government's environmental department to comment on a study of the excessive carbon monoxide buildup within the sprawling oriental city. The Chinese Grand Prix coincided with our visit, compounding matters & pushing even more smog into the dense soup like mushroom that hangs over the city centre like an invading alien spaceship.
Shanghai at night

Our overcrowded prototype Dreamliner landed at the Kamikazi International with all of the lithium batteries in various stages of meltdown & spewing more smoke into the cabin than found in a congested Mongolian tepee in mid-winter.

One of the perks of the trip was our two days at the Shanghai Formula One event where we took part in the trials of the new racing car design from the Sri Lankan team which, oddly enough, was designed by a Nepalese ricksha engineer and rumored to be funded by the Medellin cartel operating from somewhere within the jungles of Columbia. The Sri Lankan team had been having trouble with the cone section so had added a seat above it to monitor high speed cornering traction, or lack of it.

When it came to my turn, in more ways than one, I spewed across the driver and defecated in my imitation denims, twice, to the delight of one of our sponsors, an adult nappy company called Catchit from Beijing. With all my animated waves and histrionics, the Hindi driver thought I wanted to go faster and pushed the new car to its limit using the KERS device twice. When I came round, I found myself in the Shanghai clinic for the mentally 'deranged' wearing a mechanic's bib & a soiled nappy only, & missing most of my faculties.
Not amused !!
When we returned to the convention hall, our benefactor, Ahmed Yusuf Mohammed, three parts brother to erstwhile President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, & former Admiral of the Somali Navy aka Somali pirates, who was fortunately on shore leave at the time, greeted us with a traditional toast of curdled goats milk, shipped especially for the occasion all the way from Mogadishu in one of his hijacked off-duty rubber ducks.

The Shanghai premier, Ken Si Fokol, welcomed all the emissaries and stated that the smog, while somewhat suffocating at times, had improved and the latest aviation figures showed that only eleven planes had overrun the extended runway since the clearing monsoon deluge in late March, with only a couple of planes actually sidling onto the grand prix straight itself.

12th April 2013 - Umfolozi


Roy and I have just returned from Umfolozi game reserve in northern Natal to witness the appointment of the new board for Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, the conservation authority. Our biggest surprise was the appointment of Bafana Bafana Nkosi as Director General after the shenanigans of his previous appointment as a director of a prominent medical company with very little qualifications for the position, if indeed any at all. When we posed the question regarding his knowledge or the qualifications that could possibly prepare him with the necessary skills to run a wild life conservation organization, he responded with " the closest I have got to wild life was during my time as a bouncer at the Hai Bo nightclub in downtown Josie". Enough said.

Bafana & team set off down Everest

Bafana first found fame as an iconic sportsman winning the standup luge competition for the new film 'Jackass Four'. He traversed the hilly & icy course down the side of Everest, at speeds most free jumping astronauts would fail to reach, for a full three minutes before crashing into an over crowded Japanese campsite littered with a dozen frozen Nipponese former climbers.
From his makeshift campbed & sometime hospital bed, a slab of concrete, at the Church of Latter Day Saints & formerly the Buddhist Temple of Boudhanath Stupa in downtown Kathmandu

before the Morman membership drive in Nepal last year, he found a renewed faith in economic self-enrichment & returned to South Africa an invigorated man bent on a path of self-aggrandizement with the invaluable assistance of one of the most absurd economic policies of all time, that of BEE (Black Economic Empowerment), more commonly referred to as " Black Elitist Enrichment", a discriminatory policy favoring the uneducated majority in a country of an educated minority.


Ezemvelo Wildlife management claimed that Nkosi had never been charged with anything and he had resigned before charges were ever put to him. Nkosi did concede that he was going to pay back the money for the free first class air ticket he received courtesy of one of the company's pharmaceutical suppliers, but only when Julius Malema came clean. There is more chance of producing motorbikes with ashtrays & handlebar fans - although I wouldn't put it past the North Koreans - than this pair ever coming up with one cent of 'scaled' funds.

Applicants waiting in line
Madonna at Nklanda
Meanwhile, it was rumoured that President Zuma was considering an appointment at the National Treasury for Nkosi in the newly created position of Treasury Under Secretary for Tax Rebates, a quasi-charitable rebate scheme for the previously disadvantaged under Apartheid rule nearly twenty years ago. Anyone denied an education under the Apartheid goverment may apply. The idea was squashed after the offices of the National Treasury had to be closed for over a month due to the long queues of applicants stretching from Pretoria to the Zimbabwean border post at Beitbridge. President Zuma has now reconsidered & suggested, despite his BEE policy, that he would promote Madonna for the position. It may have had something to do with her 5 million US donation for the new primary school at Nklanda for the president's children.

11th April 2013 - Washington DC


Roy and have just returned from Washington DC where we took part in an official screening for the new Scientology commission to find Tom Cruise a new subservient wife. We were both in line to be 'audited' to establish the level of payment structure we would fall under. Our exemplar, Polish born Chuck Taykee Thelotski, had assured us that it was a very straightforward process and there was more than an even chance of meeting Tom Cruise who was in town to publicize his new movie, Standing Tall, where he plays a midget in love with a wax figurine of Katie Holmes. The role called for him to wear spandex underwear & a pair of platform shoes both last used by Gary Glitter in his rendition of "Remember me this way" with Sandie Shaw at a recent prison concert in Binh Thuan Province to help pay for his bypass op in the prison hospital kitchen in 2009. 
Gary had been left the shoes & underwear by Ziggy Stardust after a one night stand with a Costa Rican immigrant on vacation with her diplomat parents, guests of Jimmy Savile, at a rained out Hyde Park concert in '74.

Chuck had run the financial dept into the ground for the Polish government at the breakdown of communism in Warsaw over the mid '70s. His leaflet on the merits of covert extortion, racketeering & other economic reforms had seen him promoted to a very senior position within the organization. That he had dated Hubbard's grandson, Leonard Nimoy III, for two years had helped cement his hitching post for his trusted steed, Hi Ho Silver, outside the entrance to the Reserve Bank's gold vault. Chuck had been removed from his position as chief tester on the 'E' meter after he accidentally frazzled someone's testes when he had muddled up the electrodes and fried half of the left side of one the devotees, Dwayne Delahousey, a distant cousin of Eddie, leaving him with a permanent Don King hairstyle & destroying any aspirations for his matrimonial prospects.

Scientology has had a bum wrap, Chuck told the audience at the convention, before continuing to say that reincarnation was a fact for which he had ocular proof. His wife, Daylene née Prairie Rose Henderson from Pendleton, Montana, who had been champion steer rider before she ruptured her 'azzie' after becoming impaled on a Corriente bull in a regional bulldogging competition east of White Sulphur Springs, reminded him of his farm house cow, Gretchen, from his family farm in the Malopolskie region. They shared a similar prosthesis, he added. We managed to get away in the early hours when we were chauffeured back to our turbo propped twin seater experimental hang-glider donated by the Alaskan Air Force.
