Raving

I've ranted in my previous posts, but tonight I've decided to rave about a few things. First, the latest gimmick by Debonairs, the Pizza-Tower. It is filling and delicious! You can serve it with a salad and it will be enough to feed eight adults. Take-out for eight for less than R100! What a
bargain!

Look, I'm not their biggest fan . Not by a long shot. I've been lucky enough to frequent a Pizza Den franchise in Rustenburg that made the best pizza I've ever had. Their pizza's were FILLED. Even if you bought a thin-crust pizza, you got a thick pizza. I've bought pizza's there and took it home when I stayed in Rayton. That's a two-and- a-half-hour drive at the best of times. Getting back to Debonairs. Their pizza's were always anorexic in comparison. Their only standard pizza that deserves a mention is their Three Cheeses pizza, that they've discontinued after a short while. Their Crammed Crust pizza's are a bit on the rich side, even for me. Their only other offering that is worthwhile is the Triple Decker. The only item that can be excluded from this mini-rant is their hot subs. I've always been crazy about them.

The next thing I would love to include here is paper craft. I'm useless with scissors, being left-handed, and not a "natural" one at that. Ah, an opportunity to digress. As a left-handed person it is not always possible to get tools designed specifically for lefties. The two that springs to mind are scissors and computer mice. I got so used to using the right-handed versions in my own crooked or lopsided way that it is not an issue anymore. In fact, using the left-handed versions noew feels like french kissing your older sister. It's just wrong!! And for those of you that feel different about kissing your sisters like that - you need real help real fast.

Wait, here we are, back on the right track. I've been looking for websites where I can download paper templates for buildings that I can print, fold and use for one of my other interests, wargaming. I came across two that I keep visiting, even a few years down the line. The first is Canon's Craftown. All their templates can be downloaded free of charge. The second one is www.worldworksgames.com. Their stuff is not free, but once you've downloaded it you can also print as many as you need. Their main attaction for me is their medieval range

I realise they started this to trick you into using their printers and paper products more often, but in turn you get to create the most awesome things. They've got a whole town with roads and trains. And even an amusement park. My darling wife thinks it's all a bit stupid to print and build everything just to display it on a shelf. But imagine this. You have a small military force made up of those plastic army men we all used to play with as kids. They are passing office blocks and a school, looking for the bad guys. The next moment the terrorists fire at them with a bazooka. They hit a building. Now if you were playing with plastic buildings you would have to imagine the damage done to your building. And because your imagination and your friend's imagination is not linked, each have a diffierent ideaof what the damage is. With paper buildings you can actually tear away the piece that was destroyed. or draw in the charred effects of the flames. And if the building is destroyed you can just print a new one.

Dit lyk my daar is meer ***** as mense in die wêreld

OK. Vanoggend word ek wakker en dink dat gisteraand se rant my beter laat voel het. Ek haal makliker asem. Die spiere in my skouers doen nie meer push-ups op hul eie nie. Life is bliss. By die werk maar ek my inbox oop en gaan deur die nuwe pos. Daar’s een van een van my users af oor werk wat ek die naweek gedoen het. “Ek het jou Saterdag gevra om dit en dat te doen. Ek het weer Maandag en gister daaroor gekla en nog niks is gedoen nie!” Huh? Wat nou? Ek was Saterdag af, maar het spesiaal die werk vir die ou gedoen.



Toe ek mooi gaan kyk het hy eers Maandag, nadat hy my die tweede keer gebel het en ek WEER my deel gedoen het, sy deel gedoen. *****! Niks sal werk as jy nie jou kant bring nie! Ek kan nie omelette maak as jy nie die ***** eiers lê nie! Nou kekkel hy van die kerktoring af soos ‘n hees haan dat ek te lui is om te werk! Ek het gister weer my kant gebring, maar die resultate sal eers vanaand beskikbaar wees, want Meneer die User het eers na die spertyd wakker geword.



Needless to say is my skouer en nekspiere weer besig om op hul eie te gym. Een van die dae lyk ek soos een van daai stoeiers op TV. Tensy ek in my kar klim en na die user toe gaan. Dan gaan ek soos een van die bodybuilders in die tronk lyk met my oranje overalls en die user se rugstring soos ‘n hangertjie om my nek.



Vloekwoorde: 3 (Dit was ‘n kort post)

Dodetal: 1 user is op die hitlist, maar hy’s nog veilig. Vir nou.

The Big Bang!

Dis nou oulik. My eerste rant en die ***** blog gooi dit weg. Kom ons kyk of ek kan onthou wat ek gese het. Ek weet daar was 8 *****, waar jy jou keuse van vloekwoord kan inlas. Ek het in die oorspronklike post gese dat dit vir parental control is of uit respek vir mense soos my ouers en my vrou.

Die rede hoekom ek besluit het om te blog? Want party mense maak my *****. En ek het iets nodig waar ek kan stoom afblaas sonder om my skuldig te maak aan geweld, aanranding, publieke onsedelikheid of rusverstoring. Oh yes, for the people who don’t understand Afrikaans, sorry. En vir die bleeksiele wat verwag dat ek suiwer Afrikaans gaan skryf: Tough. Dis beter as ek se wat ek dink, en nie dink wat ek se nie. Dis van dink voor ek praat dat ek lus is om ‘n paar mense se koppe uit hulle ***** te ruk en hulle ‘n ***** klap te gee.

Nou ja, soos ek gese het in die vorige post. Ek is moeg om mense se ***** te lek om hulle uit die ***** te help waarin hulle is, net sodat hulle kan se hulle wil wag om te sien of die ***** nie vanself wil ***** nie. Ek is nou moeg daarvoor om te worry oor mense wat te lui of te dom is om oor hulself te worry. Vir hulle wil ek net se: As julle besef julle het hulp nodig, wees net ***** seker dat julle regtig gehelp wil word. O ja, en as julle weet wie julle is, tough *****. Julle wen nie ‘n prys nie.

Ek gaan ook maar op die kantlyn sit en kyk wat gebeur.

Vloekwoorde: 10 (die tweede een (na die 8) tel nie. Dis deel van die verduideliking.

Dodetal: 1 mozzy.
