THIS WEEK IN BUGZZALOT CONTROVERSY ISLAND…
It’s a Hit
We’ve all heard of guys who think they are chicken and slaughter themselves in the name of suicide. Well, in this world of pain another innovative method has been discovered, suicide by hammer! Now that’s what I call a hit.
Tusker Project Soap
Although both are on probation, Bugzzalot Brain Experts gamble that Renee and Francis will not be taken out simply because they are in the budding stages of a relationship that people want to follow up. It was sad to see Apondi go. Everybody knows she has a very strong voice but she is so nervous on stage that she always begins on the wrong key when singing.
Look, no hands
Sebastian Loeb is the first Rally World Champion to win a race with no hands. The ace driver did not even compete in the Australian Rally (second last event in the world rallying calendar) due to a broken arm injury that he had sustained in a previous event and still managed to snatch the 2006 title by points.
“Look. No hands!” he should have bragged.
Silly movie titles and proposed sequels
I have previously said that current movies have very silly titles. Check out these new ones
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA (Sequel will be …The Devil Wears Fundi Frank)
HOW TO EAT FRIED WORMS (Sequel…How To Catch The Early Fried Worm)
JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE (This is already a sequel to Romeo Must Die)
May be they are hoping that the titles are stupid enough to evoke curiosity. I guess its working!
Oops, I forgot
The theme for the recently concluded Stanchart Marathon in Nairobi was “Seeing is Believing”. But how many runners knew this and how many remember it is a charity event? In TV interviews all that everyone could talk about was finishing the race, medals, prize money etc. This includes the MD of Stanchart. The marketing strategy did not enlighten anyone on this. It should be promoted with charity in mind.
The Fast and the Furious: Matatu Weave
I’ve started watching movies again after a season series run that has left me with viazi reaction time. Some days back I saw the follow up to Too Fast and too Furious i.e. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. It was awe inspiring to see the way you can maneuver a car to go around a curve for virtually days while confined within the narrowest boundaries. It reminded me of matatu drivers with sleek interweaving skills. These artists of menace can transform a two-lane road into a dual carriageway. They can interweave through the pin thin spaces between normal vehicles at full throttle thereby inventing the new film title, THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: MATATU WEAVE. If you have seen the Kenstream ad where the red computer mouse swishes by the other regular mice then you have seen the preview!
Wakenya kwa Champions League?
I was watching the Chelsea vs. Barcelona Champions League match when at the beginning I heard fans shouting, “Harambee!” There was an equally surprising response, “Hee.”
To cement my crazy notion, in the fifty fourth minute I heard somebody shouting Ni karibu sana.
They must be the guys who won the World Cup 2006 competition on TV with the ultimate prize of attending a great European club match or am I just confused?
On a less controversial note, the referee issued ten yellow cards. Taking into account that he was wearing a yellow T-Shirt, I think he wanted a football team of Yellows including himself.
