Africana* from the Southern Tip

The Rugby World Cup, now WON by the Springboks, gave, er...rise..to some interesting images.


The act above could be described as a Boknaai.


...and a friend of a friend...our own calender girl, posing before the match...



Africana: materials, such as books, documents, or art objects, relating to the history or culture of African peoples

  1. - Uh, mommy, what is the antelope doing?

    - Don't look, my darling, that's, uh, how they keep up with foreign affairs down there. Diplomats, you know?

    - Really? I want to be a diplomat when I grow up.

    [Mother chokes]

    - Or maybe a rugby player. Mom, do rugby players also know about diplomacy?

    - Oh yeah, they practise it all the time on the field, and then their fans draw about it.

    - Mom, the dog doesn't look happy.

    - Son, diplomacy is not always the easy way out. Or in.

  3. Hey, I actually heard about that. Not their finest moment, I guess. By the way ROTFLIV meant Rolling On The Floor Laughing In Vancouver, I have to face my jury.

  6. And then the sky cracked open and thunder rolled over the city briefly illuminated by lightning, as the rain fell hard at the command of a pair of black leather boots. And the geek stood in the rain, humbled and mesmerized. These were a fine pair of boots, powerfully worn by the nicest legs on the planet... ;-)

    My god, this is Harlequin stuff! ;-) LOL. I must have a fever.
