    ou mclook met sy thread oor die ’84 bokke het my weer aan ñ storie laat dink
    ..
    volgens die verhaal was ñ klompie suid-afrikaners doer inni apartheid era nog, op die hms titanies (yep, ons eie weergawe vd titanic … net beter, hehehe) , toe dit begin sink!! besef die slegs blanke passasiers dat dit so goed met hulle gegaan het in die apartheid era dat hulle skoon vergeet het hoe om te bid!! hulle besluit toe onder mekaar dat aangesien dit nie heeltemal so goed met die cullerts gegaan het nie, dat dié darem seker nog nie vergeet het hoe om te bid nie!! hulle bring toe ñ cullert tot op die boonste dek en dié begin te bid. hy sê “here, ek dink nou aan die dag toe ek in die nood was en vinnig ñ pakkie by die poskantoor moes gaan pos, maar ek moes in ñ lang lyn staan, want die kort lyn was vir slegs blankes. en ek dink nou ñ ander dag toe ek ñ ander soort nood gehad het, maar ek kon die toilet nie gebruik nie, want dit was weer slegs blankes. nou here, is ek weer inni nood .. ons is besig om te sink … so as daar dan vandag dan mense moet sterf … laat dit dan slegs blankes wees!! 😀
    ..

    #10
    yep. ook so gedink daarom dat ek daai een nou eers post … wou dit vanogeend al gedoen het!! anyway sal van nou af wegbly van daai soort jokes af!! 😀

  • 12

    11@ Ashley:
    Ons is ‘n koddige nasie, ons Suid-Afrikaners…

    Ek voel ek moet en kan maar die met julle deel.

    Gister was mos Handbriekie se verjaarsdag… anyway, die een buurvrou kom gisteraand oorgestap. Sy is wat mens noem “Ongemaklik Vet”… maar sout van die aarde tipe persoon. Sy het haar ontferm oor ‘n 6-jarige swart dogtertjie wat baie swaargekry het, Fina, en die 2 is onafskeidbaar van mekaar. Kom hand-aan-hand daar ingewaddle, en sit styf langs mekaar en die liefde is duidelik, weerskante toe… daar word soene uitgedeel en alles.

    ‘n Baie roerende prentjie…

    Anyway, sit ons nog so en praat en die geselsie draai na misdaad in ons buurt of iets dergliks… haak die buurvrou af en gebruik daai verbode k-woord. Fina draai so ewe na haar, en sê “Dis net die wat steel wat “k-woord” is.

    Kyk, dit was damn snaaks en skielik, ons het amper van die stoele afgedonner!

    Ek en Handbriekie spring toe maar in en sê “Mens gebruik nie meer daai woord nie, dis nie mooi nie”.

    Wat so verbasend was, was die natuurlike en bykans eerlike manier waarop selfs daai woord gebruik is, deur beide…. sonder rasistiese oogmerk.

    Sal nogal goed wees as alle Suid-afrikaners so eerlik met mekaar kan wees, sonder bybedoellings.

  • 13

    gbs @ 12
    😀 jaaaaaaaa boet … dink ons het nog ñ lang paadjie om te gaan voor almal so gemaklik daarmee gaan wees!!
    … anyway jy darem vir handbriekie iets gekoop, of was jy weer te suinig?

    SEEING WE NOW HAVE “POETIC LICENSE”

    Judas Asparagus

    If you need a laugh today, then this should do it!

    A child was asked to write a book report on the entire Bible.

    This is amazing and brought tears of laughter to my eyes.

    I wonder how often we take for granted that children understand what we are teaching???

    Through the eyes of a child:

    The Children’s Bible in a Nutshell

    In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, ‘The Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than that.

    Anyway, God said, ‘Give me a light!’ and someone did.

    Then God made the world.

    He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren’t embarrassed because mirrors hadn’t been invented yet..

    Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from theGarden of Eden ..

    Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn’t have cars.

    Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel.

    Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.

    One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check.

    After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.

    Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh’s people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable.

    God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments.

    These include: don’t lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor’s stuff.

    Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother.

    One of Moses’ best helpers was Joshua who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town.

    After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot.. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn’t sound very wise to me.

    After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets.

    One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore. There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don’t have to worry about them.

    After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of The New. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn. (I wish I had been born in a barn too, because my mom is always saying to me, ‘Close the door! Were you born in a barn?’ It would be nice to say, ‘As a matter of fact, I was.’)

    During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Democrats.

    Jesus also had twelve opossums.

    The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him..

    Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount.

    But the Democrats and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn’t stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.

    Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again.

    He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminum. His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.

    14@ 4man:
    Judas Asparagus….. bwahahahaha

    Kids are funny little critters, all of them have brain damage!

    When BonzaiGBS was very small, we travelled through the Karoo once, on our way from Pretoria and on route to George.

    His mom noticed a large gather of European Storks, thousands of the buggers… and said to him “Look, European Storks!”

    He was highly upset and announced “I’m not a peeing stork!”

    Damn, we laughed!

    Get it?

    You’re-a-peeing storks…

    Hehehe

    Anyway, the bloody power has just gone in the Panne, well here where we are anyway.

    This winter is going to be murder as far as Load-shedding is concerned!

    Hope it comes on soon.

    Just saw an article on e-news channel about Solly Tjibilika.

    Poor bugger has really fallen to a low ebb. Lost his contract with Border and now living in a “previously disadvantaged” area in Cape Town in a run down excuse for a house.

    Playing for Hamiltons and wondering how to rebuild his career.

    Lays the blame for his demise firmly at the doorstep of the Lions, but admits he made mistakes in turning to alcohol and “he wrong type of friends”, when things got bad in JHB.

    Confirmed what many already know, that the Lions are about as good at communication as an amoeba.

    Same old story of players trying hard and not being told what the Union thinks is wrong / right and then getting the “you’re not going on tour” phone call 90 minutes before departure.

    Whilst I know that in some ways Solly was his own worst enemy, the lack of mentorship programs at Unions like the Lions is once again highlighted, as is the apparent lack of ability of the Lions management to address issues before they become a catastrophe.

    No wonder they’re still propping up the Super Rugby ladder I guess.

  • 21

    16@ grootblousmile:
    A friend of mine in Germiston says he has evidence that there is an Eskom rolling blackout program already in place for JHB that can be implemented “at the flick of a switch” if needed.

  • 23

    Reckon it could be a big klap for the Lions this weekend.

    Highlanders at the “house of pain” is no joke, and I really don’t think the kids from JHB are up to doing the other SA sides a favour.

    Together with the k@k weather for my golf on Sunday it could just put me in a miserable mood for the weekend!

  • 24

    Only the Reds & Sharks team Sheets still outstanding

  • 25

    23@ Scrumdown:
    On Sunday, after the Reds / Crusaders match I have let myself in for something completely different…. PAINTBALL!

    These fellas are serious young dudes….. they wear camo, chest plates and all sorts of protective gear, have customised Tipman Paintball Guns with electronic triggers, hoppers with rotating feeders, pouches holding extra ammo and the gas bottle.

    … but they’re youngsters, who have just started in Paintball.

    They have challenged 4 of us, all Old Toppies with Army experience… and two of the Old Toppies are seriously seasoned Bow Hunters.

    I’ve played Paintball before, specially with BonzaiGBS and his mates… you oviously need a little bit of padding and a Paintball mask which does not fog up (very important), but the most basic Paintball guns will do, no need for M16-Look-alike Tipmans with foldup stocks and electronic triggers.

    One plays in very close proximity to each other, making tactics and guile more important than having fancy equipment.

    We WILL go and teach the youngsters a few lessons, and pop them full of bumps and bruises!

  • 26

    Does the Sharks coach really not know his beast side tthat he takes so lomh to pick it?

  • 27

    Hope this does not offend someone, my apologies. But i nearly rolled over laughing. :LOL:THE IRISH PROSTITUTE

    An Irish daughter had not been home for over 5 years. Upon her return, her Father cursed her heavily.

    ‘Where have ye been all this time, child? Why did ye not write to us, not even a line? Why didn’t ye call? Can ye not understand what ye put yer old Mother thru?’

    The girl, crying, replied, ‘Sniff, sniff… Dad… I became a prostitute.’

    ‘Ye what!? Get out a here, ye shameless harlot! Sinner! You’re a disgrace to this Catholic family.’

    ‘OK, Dad… as ye wish. I only came back to give mum this luxurious fur coat, title deed to a ten bedroom mansion, plus a £5 million savings certificate. For me little brother, this gold Rolex. And for ye Daddy, the sparkling new Mercedes limited edition convertible that’s parked outside plus a membership to the country club … (takes a breath) … and an invitation for ye all to spend New Year’s Eve on board my new yacht in the Riviera.’

    ‘What was it ye said ye had become?’ says Dad.

    Girl, crying again, ‘A prostitute, Daddy! Sniff, sniff.’

    ‘Oh! My Goodness! Ye scared me half to death, girl! I thought ye said a Protestant! Come here and give yer old Dad a hug!

  • 28

    27@ superBul:
    Hehehehe. Nice one on a cold JHB morning.

    Unfortunately it’s a real problem in places like Ireland, but not as well known is that in Scotland and even Manchester and Liverpool the Catholic / Protestant dislike (for want of a better word) is deep rooted and ever present.

    One sees it constantly in Soccer with clubs like Rangers and Celtic in Glasgow, Hearts and Hib’s in Edinburgh, Liverpool and Everton, Man Untd and Man City etc etc etc.

    Celtic’s manager has been beset with death threats from Protestants this year and has received live bullets through the post with his name on them, and was assaulted by an opposition fan whilst on the field a couple of weeks ago.

    I was chatting to a Protestant Scot recently and was once more reminded of the deep rooted dislike that the 2 groups have for each other.

    Ah well, I suppose our problems only go back a couple of hundred years, whilst theirs go back to the early 16th century!

  • 29

    Come on, time for some bold predictions!

    Lay your predictions on the line for this weekend!

    1. Canes vs Force: Difficult one, Canes have been hyper shit all season… yet they are full of star-players and they’re at home against a very kak Force side.

    2. Highlanders vs Lions: One can only really see one logical winner. I pick the Landers but obviously hope the Lions pull of some pox win, as the Landers are semi-contenders.

    3. Brumbies vs Stormers: Stormers should walk this one against a very kak Brumbies side.

    4. Sharks vs Waratahs: Sharks should bounce back and beat the Tahs… hope the Tahs do not get a single bonus point and also hope the Sharks do not get a bonus point for tries.

    5. Bulls vs Cheetahs: Difficult, very bloody difficult! Hope the Bulls locks come through for us, because that’s a Cheetah weak spot and also hope there is a seemless integration of Hougie at scrummie and that Morné Steyn again shows a youngster how to dominate from flyhalf. Also hope the Bulls defence is on song.

    6. Reds vs Crusaders: Hoping for a Reds win and no bonus points for the Saders, but Saders are also a bit under the kosh and might just have the necessary motivation.

    25@ grootblousmile:
    Don’t get zapped in an unprotected place. With a maximum temp of 15°c if may sting a little.

    I can just imagine it on the inside of the thigh.

    Difference is of course that when you and I got shot at you couldn’t wash the evidence away after the “game”. Show the young upstarts how it’s really done.
