Twitter and Billboards don’t mix – epic fail
It probably seemed like a good idea to use Twitter at the time, but tweeting news stories on a billboard might not be the best plan to date. Epic Fail.

Friday Song: Flight of the Conchords – Business Time

It’s never ok to take your shirt off on the dance floor
Whenever good friends are visiting, it means a full weekend of activities. After various locations and digesting loads of food, drinks and conversation, we ended up at Jade in Green Point, Cape Town so that the girls could dance and the guys could have some chill time.
The crowd was pretty different to what we were used to, but it was this legend that made the night more interesting… Enter ‘Tod’.
Tod is a perfect example of why you shouldn’t juice up and spend too much of your time in the free weights section at Virgin Active. While dancing so close to my dear friend Dylan, who could practically feel him breathing on his neck (vomit), he proceeded to remove his shirt to benefit everybody on the dance floor.
There must be a rule about this somewhere and I’m pretty sure it’s Rule #183 of the Wedding Crashers code of conduct – “Do not take your shirt off on the dance floor”. What was worse was the fact that his friends were totally cool with it… Tod, they’re not really your friends.
Tod being awesome
