Letting off steam

Cherryflava, having spent a bit of time in ‘the Big Apple’ , felt a sense of nostalgia from this cracking photograph taken by Satan’s Laundromat..

Contrary to popular believe, the New York authorities do not set up these steam contraptions for the amusement of the foreign tourists. The city is actually heated via a massive network of steam conducting pipes. The pipes run beneath the streets feeding the needs of the Manhatten buildings.
Now and then there is a bit of a pressure build up in the system…and therefore the need for these devices to release the steam.

See…now don’t say you don’t get any useful information from this website.

Tired of your old looks? Get yourself down to a doctor and pump our pip with plastic. Hollywood clearly loves the concept. All is well documented at Aweful plastic surgery.

Tips for Trevor

Dear Trev

Here’s a tip: The government spends so much money trying to collect tax. You employ thousands of highly qualified accountants to work out how much everybody must pay.
How about this: all income up to R50 000 is tax-free, there after everybody will pay 10% on the balance. Easy. And then even I won’t have to pay somebody to work out my tax return…everybody is laughing.

Best regards

Cherryflava

Send your tip to Trevor.

If ever you have been stuck for an answer to a question – why not ask Googlism. for a bit of insight into your dilemma.

Tony Leon:

tony leon is feeling dejected and stranded
tony leon is comparable to churchill and nelson mandela
tony leon is a leader whose dynamism and capacity for analysis keeps everyone on their toes
tony leon is out here
tony leon is invited
tony leon is a jew and would thus be in favour of a war
tony leon is to meet commonwealth secretary general don mckinnon in london later in the week to discuss zimbabwe’s status within
tony leon is a political swindler”

Found the translation

Remember Bill Murray in the 80’s movie wonder Ghostbusters?
Good because he is nothing like that in his new movie called ‘Lost in translation’.
The movie is definately not for fans of Bad Boys 2 or the Rambo series. It’s a thought-generating, voyeuristic peek into the lives of two people who are going through a mid-(Bill Murray) and a quarter-life (Scarlett Johansson) crisis. Both are stuck in the same hotel in Tokyo, Japan with their dreary lives flashing past them.

There is’nt much of a story, but the acting is world-class, the directing is inspirationally creative and the cinematography (the shots of Tokyo street-life) is entertainment in itself. Don’t see this film if you’re craving the sound of M16’s being reloaded through a THX sound platform.
It’s an art house movie at it’s best. So if you have never seen the inside of a Cinema Nouveau theatre…then this is a good movie to start with.
Get some culture…check this fliek my bra.

In Ghana it is believed that for the spirit to rest, a body has to be buried in a coffin representing something which was enjoyed during the living years.

This type of coffin show the deceased status level and obviously ensures that you rest in peace. Cherryflava knows a couple of people who would choose a big Bacardi bottle or a pack of Dunhill cigarettes as their resting vehicles.

Snowbunny time

“So Jonny…what did you get up to on your holiday?”
“Well teacher, I stayed at home, played with my dog, crafted a lilo from old ‘pool-noodles’ and annoyed my mom for 5 weeks.”
“Wonderful!” remarks teacher Jones. She then directs her attention to little Lily-Anne.
“So Lily-Anne, how was your Christmas holiday? Do anything interesting?”

“Mommy and Daddy bought me a new ‘Hello Kitty’ Snowbunny for Christmas. We cut from stinking hot Africa and headed to a friend of Mommy’s villa in Arosa, Switzerland.”

At this point the class squeals with glee.

“First day on the slopes, I ripped some serious powder. Some lame shredder in front of me was calling some cheesy time-out…so I bounced a ramp pulling a 360 degree backflip into a fakie. My Snowbunny rocked baby. Remember…you’re no bunny, till you got snowbunny.”

Happy New Year

Crack open the champagne – it’s new year again. Forget 2004, it’s time to get the monkey ON your back (right after you spank it) in the lunar year 4072 of the Golden Monkey (remember that TV show?) in the Chinese calendar.

The predictions for this year – well it’s all good. Bush will struggle in the elections, global stock markets will rally and global violence will start to ease off.

Asian (and other) peoples will be celebrating tonight and for the next two weeks, eating, wearing red, eating, paying respect to their elders, eating, and eating some more.
