Thoughts of a dying humourist

Squire, bring me my antelope burger!


'Tis quite a warm day, yet I'm walking around in jeans and a t-shirt. For you see, every season brings with it a new sartorial fad, one which inevitably requires us to wear less. (especially females.)
Who likes short shorts? Everybody it seems. There are gazelle-legged beauties with shorts and shiny pumps (another thing you can't walk in without looking like someone attacked you with an enema) , donning Nicole Richie -size sunglasses - the type that shades your whole face.

Thank you Mischa Barton for imparting yet another shiteous fad on the receptive masses.

Anyhoo! Its multicultural week here at Stellenbosch University and on friday some professor is giving a seminar on "Homosexual:the new normal."


This is an interesting title. In the past we assumed everyone was straight and that there were only a few gay people. I thought : "Hm..shame. The don't have much of a choice when it comes to partners because there are so few gays."
What if gay really is the new norm? What if straight people begin to be in the minority? Will gay people look at straight ones and think " shame...they dont have much of a choice." ??

Overthinking never helped anyone. But you can't prevent it. I don't really remember what my point was but I'm sure I had one.

If any of you watch Family Guy (and I sincerely hope you do) , don't you think the newest season is just a teeny bit too much? I mean, they gained notoriety and fame with being called "the edgier Simpsons" but with the newest episodes it seems like theyre really trying to hammer that nail into infinity times two. You get humour - effortless humour...and then you get humour like Tom Green : "Look at me !Look at me! Im doing something outrageous and blasphemous! Im so rad! look at me!"

Family Guy.....don't fall into the Tom Trap.
