Killing them softly with this Thong

This must be the Year of Expose Oneself for public service folk.
First the Belgian Sports fella gulps down one too many beer and does a dance and a chant at the Olympics. And now an Australian government bigwig, Matt Brown, has been caught with his pants down. Literally!

Turns out there might have been a party at his Parliament Office. Or he was blowing off steam with a few buddies … dear god, tell me that’s all that he was .. er doing?!
Anyway, there he was, listening to this funky, lively techno music and next thing you know, he finds himself sans his pants, doing the not so groovy moves on the leather couch.
Sounds like he had a bit too much to drink. And that his underwear was very “brief”. For one tormenting moment that phrase seemed to imply a thong. Bet a lot of people got to know the fella […]

Miss Sister 2008 - Beauty Contest for Nuns

Is it just me or does this seem somewhat weird and strange - Italian Priest Organizes Beauty Contest for Nuns… A bit like an oxymoron, if you must.

The Miss Sister 2008 contest will start in September on a blog run by the Rev. Antonio Rungi and will give nuns from around the world a chance to showcase their work and their image.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not implying that nuns are not pretty or anything like that. No, no, no.
Hear me out, my point is lurking somewhere in this explanation. Nuns are supposed to be devoted to god, spirituality and doing good for humanity, etc. etc. so they personify the fact that everyone should look at inner beauty because of the good they do and other such feel-good explanations.
So doesn’t it defeat that idea if there is a beauty contest? Does it matter what you look like, […]

Don’t drink before noon

We have heard a lot of Beijing Olympic controversies and scandals.
Well, this one, for once, doesn’t involve anything on the side of the organizers.

Turns out the Belgian Sports Minister Michel Daerden had one too many drinks and got very… vocal in his support for the players from his country.
It sounds a bit like Homer Simpson showed up for the Beijing Olympics and really had a go at it. Except this version of Homer had an official title and viking-ish mustache.
Save it for the late night partying and karaoke nights, mate!
On the other hand, scratch that idea. The Flemish Minister commented that “Michel Daerden really has a drinking problem, everyone knows it,”.
Yea, well we had no clue and much as Belgium has the best beer, fab art and Tintin, Smurfs and Asterix, most of us will be exchanging stories about the time this bigwig from Belgium got drunk at the […]

Shake it like you mean it!

Used to be a bartender once upon a time, I personally enjoyed mixing drinks. Drinks as in cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic (mocktails). My specialties - Long Island Tea, Margarita and Pinna Colada. Yes, all very common. So I decided to search the internet for new and unique cocktail recipes. And boy, look what I found!

Sex in the Shower
Fill Shaker with Ice
1 oz Blue Curacao
1 oz Triple sec
1 oz Butterscotch schnapps
2 oz Orange juice
Shake and Strain into *Champagne Flute
I actually tried making this drink, but I used DeKuyper Butterscotch Liquer, which cost me a bomb but worth it. This drink is delicious! *For those who doesn’t know, Champagne Flute is a kind of champagne glass.
Safe Sex on the Beach
3 oz Cranberry juice
3 oz Grapefruit juice
2 oz Peach nectar
Maraschino cherry
Pour over ice in a chilled glass and stir. Garnish with a cherry.
You heard of Sex on The Beach cocktail? […]

Norwegian muddle

We all hate red tape; the process, the procedures, getting all the documents together and making sure there are no coffee spills on it …. call it good times with bureaucracy!
Well, what happens when you’ve paid your dues, stood in a queue with million other people to fill in papers and finally got your ID papers sorted out, only to find, a few years later, that you are no longer a citizen of that country!

Too much of a round about? Let me explain.
Quite a large number of Norwegians are discovering that they are in fact Swedes! Gasp!

So even though they were born in Norway and perhaps had a Norwegian dad with a respectable European mustache, bureaucratically speaking, they were in fact Swedish!!
Remember that nagging feeling you had all our life, that you don’t really belong? Well, your worst fears are now confirmed, you don’t!!
How does that happen? According to the […]

We thought weird stuff only happen in sitcoms

And we thought weird stuff only happen in sitcoms!
Have you heard about the Indian man who wanted to divorce his wife but was probably too scared to approach her? Why else would he hire someone to pretend to be his spouse in court and, you know, go through the whole process?

To describe the story in a nutshell, Sanjib Saha showed up for the divorce proceedings with someone impersonating his wife. Scheming devil, isn’t he? Oh yes, his eye sight was not that bad so the old “I didn’t have my contacts on so I didn’t recognise her” was clearly not going to work.

You seriously have to ask yourself - did he really think that he was going to get away with it? She lived in the same house, what was he going to do, pack his bags, disappear to Mauritius and have a ‘canoe accident’? That clearly didn’t work for […]
