The vuvuzela has attracted international interest during the World Cup, but this is taking things a bit too far… still funny though.

This is a classic video featuring Iron Baby in an Iron Man parody filmed using the posters daughter.

This video is a true example of ‘Only in South Africa’ with a domestic worker busting out to the song Dans Dans Dans by Jack Parow.

There are no words to describe the awesomeness of this guy and this video… so just watch it and enjoy.

Funny short video from Saturday Night Live of people getting punched in the face while eating…

On the weekend I joined a group of friends to climb Lions Head, which I hadn’t done for about a year and a half.

It’s such a quick an easy hike and only minutes away from Cape Town’s CBD.

I attended the J&B Met in Cape Town last Saturday and it truly was an amazing day with great weather, huge horses and loads of colourful and beautiful women.

Whenever there’s a theme involved you see people pushing the envelope – like the girls with the skirts that were more like belts, which resulted in a mexican wave emulation when every mans head turned violently as they walked by.

All in all it was a great day chilling in the J&B Jet Lounge with friends, champagne and suits!

More J&B Met photos can be found at the Cape Town website.

This bicycle colour fail picture is pretty self explanatory…

Coca-Cola recently installed a special vending machine, a ‘happiness machine’, in a local university campus.

The vending machine transformed, providing doses of happiness to all the students that were there that day.

I’d buy this rooster just to have him as a pet because he’s just so amazing!

The music is an original composition for this video by Ewan Parry (a.k.a liquidcow) of the band Talanas: myspace.com/talanas

During the Christmas holidays my best friend got married and I was his best man, which meant that I had to throw him a bachelor party.

Neal isn’t one for strippers and big boozing, but is creative and adventurous… so the party had to follow suit.

We kidnapped him on the morning of the 26th of December and made him put on the outfit seen in the picture below.

We then made our way down to the beachfront and gave him a sign which promoted that he was about to be married and that he will sing for money. There was a tracklist of love songs that people could choose and we printed out the lyrics for him to sing.

With classics like ‘my girl’, ‘build me up buttercup’,'when a man loves a woman’ and a few others, we had the whole pub singing along and made R400 in the hour that we were there.
After that we hit paintball and then had a steak braai.

It was an awesome Man Day!

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.

I haven’t seen Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” redone in a cool way since the scene from Wayne’s World back in the day.

The Muppets really add a slick element to this classic song… Happy Friday!

Last Friday was an experience of a lifetime and a definite tick on my list of 100 things to do before I die. Cape Town Tourism sponsored a bloggers day out to give some of Cape Town’s bloggers a time out from their PC’s, Google, Twitter and all that.

We experienced a professionally organised race day from Fantastic Racing, who let us race in the Reynard single seater race car, which can pull off speeds of 240 km/h with ease. These cars are just like the real deal and are a joy to ride!

Everyone who participated had a great time and left on an adrenaline high, big smiles and a need for more speed.

The safety briefing

Before we could jump into the race cars, we had to watch a presentation to learn about the cars, how to take the corners and more importantly… how not to crash and explode.

Our Reynard Race Cars

These were our cars for the day – they Reynard single seater, which was pretty quick of the mark and handled like a dream.

Me getting ready to haul ass

I had never been in a car this fast or this awesome… hitting the accelerator released a growl that made you feel like Cole Trickle.

That's me racing

You could easiliy hit speeds of 200 km/h on the straights and when you hit 6th gear your helmet started getting sucked off your face, which added to the adrenaline rush!

Killarney Race Track

This is a shot of the race track with Table Mountain in the background… couldn’t have had better weather!

I remove my clothes very, very clumsily. Tripping sensuously open my pants. Now i’m naked except for my socks. And you know when I’m down to just my socks what time it is.
It’s busines, it’s business time.

You know when I’m down to my socks it’s time for business. That’s why they’re called business socks.
It’s business, It’s business time.

Enough said.

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

College Humour just produced this funny Twilight: New Moon parody. The video is worth a watch, even if it doesn’t have the same attractive lead stars.
