Courtesy of msnbc.com, I have put some of the Simon's comments below: Obviously, now that he has left England (where he was probably a less than average Joe) and made it big, he no longer walks in alleys.
1) That would appeal to anyone over the age of 90 who was hard of hearing.
2) If you hear a scream from a hotel room in Las Vegas, that’s where Barry Manilow is watching this show."
To Bobby, after he sang Manilow's "Copacabana
3) I thought it was a really pimpy third-rate copy of Earth Wind and Fire."
To Sway, Feb. 22
4)It was forgettable and you sang it like somebody taking an elocution lesson."
To Heather, Feb. 21
5)It was like being at some horrible Sunday lunch and a child getting up to sing out of tune. For me it was a complete and utter mess.”
To Stevie, Feb. 21
6)"What's putting me off, and I'm not being rude, is you remind me of a pet poodle I used to have. "
Simon to curly-haired auditioner Tatiana, Feb. 7
7)"You're one of those packages you get at Christmastime where you say: 'Can I give it back?'"
Simon to auditioner Irada, who claimed she had the "complete package," Feb.
8)You're a jolly nice young man, aren't you? I think that anyone over the age of 80 would love you. And anyone under the age of 20 wouldn't be able to relate to you."
Simon to auditioner Kevin, Feb. 7
But what I like about Simon is that he is now expected to be insulting, so now it only serves as entertainment.
On another more regional note, congrats to Ms. Simpson Miller for having won the presidency of the PNP, and presumably the designation of Prime Minister, when the time comes. Hopefully she will remove the deadweight in the Cabinet, so that matters will not be more of the same.
Blog you soon... And did anyone watch the speed skating in the Olympics.. I know little of it but I enjoyed it a few days ago.

Thursday afternoon bloggage
I received the following Jamaican political satire, labelled the Peter Phillips PhD manifesto. It is based on Dr. Phillips' since abandoned Rastafarianism:
The Peter Phillips Manifesto
(1) That the correct spelling of the name of our country 'Jamaica' shall be spelt and known officially as 'Jah-Mek-Ya'.
(2) That the National Colours be changed from Black, Green and Gold to the more suitable 'Red, Green and Gold';
(3) That the National Dish be changed from Ackee and Saltfish to Ital Stew;
(4) That a Luxury Tax be added to Salt, and its used discouraged from use among the general population by using the JIS (Jamaica Information Service) in conjunction with the Ministry of Health, to raise awareness to the unsavoury habit of flavouring foods unnaturally;
(5) Similarly in the interest of the nation's health and well-being (and morality), that all Pork and Pork-based foods be banned from domestic use. We shall however encourage and develop Pork exports overseas to strengthen our local economy meanwhile punishing ' Babylon'.
(6) That on all official documents, the sovereign nation known as the 'United States of America' shall be known to us as 'Babylon'. So we can correctly use terms such as ' Babylon system' and 'Babylon government' as references when making analogies and comparisons to our own system of government.
(7) That 51 Old Hope Road (a.k.a. the Bob Marley Museum ) be made into a National Heritage site;
(8) That 'Kings House' be renamed 'David House',
(9) That the Supreme Court building complex be known as 'Judgement Yard';
(10) The Governor General be known by the title of 'the Most High Priest';
(11) The honourific title 'Honourable' will now be changed to 'Ras' and the surname is not necessary, so for example the Chief Justice shall be known as 'Ras Lensley' and the
(12) That the similar or equivalent honourific title of 'Elder' can also be used in place of or instead of 'Ras', and the female equivalent will be 'Empress' or similarly 'Queen', e.g., 'Empress Portia';
(13) That the national coat of arms be replaced by the Star of David (in Red, Green and Gold);
(14) The National Musical instrument will be the Conch Shell accompanied with the kettle (kettie) drum;
(15) The Book of Maccabbees be also used in place of the Bible in official ceremonies and in schools;
(16) That an Elite Republican Guard be formed to replace the ineffective JDF, and they will be placed under the supervision of the Bobo Ashanti Ministry;
(17) The Ministry of Health and Family Planning will be placed under the portfolio of the 12 Tribes Ministry;
(18) Women will be known as 'dawta(s)';
(19) Any reference in the constitution or secondary legislation to the person will be replaced with the words "di I"; and finally
(20) That PNP followers and supporters will no longer be known as 'Comrades', but hereafter as 'Brethren'.
I also received the following gem in relation to Tequila:
Do you have feelings of inadequacy? Do you suffer from shyness? Do
you sometimes wish you were more assertive? If you answered yes to any
of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Tequila®.
Tequila® is the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident
about yourself and your actions. Tequila® can help ease you out of your
shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do
just about anything. You will notice the benefits of Tequila® almost
immediately, and with a regimen of regular doses you can overcome any
obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live.
Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past, and you will
discover many talents you never knew you had. Stop hiding and start living, with Tequila®.
Tequila® may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or
nursing should not use Tequila®. However, women who wouldn't mind
nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it. Side effects may
include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, erotic lustfulness,
loss of motor control, loss of clothing, loss of money, loss of
virginity, delusions of grandeur, table dancing, headache, dehydration,
dry mouth, and a desire to sing Karaoke and play all-night rounds of
Strip Poker, Truth Or Dare, and Naked Twister.
Lastly
Here a a couple of links to an interview between one of my heroes, Ali G, and the Beckams.

Windies get an irish shrink? Is that so?
Now, I know that the termn"shrink" is not medically precise, however, I heard today that the Windies have taken on an Irish sports psychologist who was previously the psychologist for Ice Hockey teams!. Amazing. I suppose all the test nations must have them. And anything would help right now. Poor Windies. I suppose some might think it strange with an Irish sponsor (Digicel) and now an Irish mind twista?
And how in the world did BC Lara (and others) get excluded from the game by the WICB against the kiwis because of his C&W deals, again? What the hell is going on? We really look foolish, you know. Our cricketing cockups really need to end. Its not like Digicel is giving the players any amount of money which would be an incentive for them to be exclusive to Digicel. Lara likes Carnival, I know, but come on guys, lets get real for goodness sake. These disputes seem relatively easy to compromise.
And can you imagine the discussions between our players and this shrink? It would be like
Shrink: And how are you feeling today, Shiv?
Shiv: Ein feelin too hot today, leh we have a lime nuh?
Shrink: Citrus contains a high content of acid, therefore care should be taken prior to consumption. What about your mental faculties, are you feeling stable?
Shiv: The last time I went stable, Brian down deh groomin horse, because de man dem leave if off the team 'cause o de endorsement deals for C&W.
Shrink: I don't endorse dat view, however we should explore the possibility of hypnosis.
Shiv: I eh doin dat eh. How bout some Guiness?
Shrink: Nice talking to you, Shiv. Hopefully I'll get somewhere with Wavell or one of the Dwayne's.
Better yet, can you imagine some of the discussions with Sir Gary?
All in good fun, folks, all in good fun.

Not feeling very revolutionary..
Folks
It is a quiet Monday Morning. I went to East end on Saturday all day, helping my in-laws with the preparation of their house for my father in law's return home from hospital. All of Sunday I was tyad, to rass. My back was feelin it.
We assembled a hospital bed, removed a bed which was about 50 years old and HEAVY. It was on a wooden base which was not moved after Ivan, and when it was removed, there was a perfect, square shaped mixture of mud and sand from Ivan, that bastard.
By the way, my caribbean and Florida bloggers, do you realise we are less than 16 weeks away from hurricane season. Especially for those in Cayman, are you really ready? How many things did you wish you had on September 13th, 2004? Do you have a generator yet? How about a portable water tank, with say 2000 gals capacity? How about all of the car phone chargers, extension cords, batteries etc. The list goes on and on, and the US based recommendation of having food and water for 3-7 days went out the window completely - that was not near enough in Cayman.
How about gasoline containers? Do you have those? How about travel documents out of here, including visas to the US (in our case we would need to go to Jam for that).
Is it too early to start talk about hurricanes? The guys who were fixing my roof tiles, they worked for about 3 days in November, then came back last week and finished it. Such is the nature of those rude boys. They will booming for many more years.
I would invite my Jamaican bloggionistas to comment on the political race heating up there at the moment. Will it be Portia, or the Solid as a Rock man? Or will it be the 65 to one prize winner? Or could it be the Doc? Not you Doc. D.
Blog you soon.

Its just that I had nothing to say
Folks
For those of you who were just saying "good riddance" or who had uttered a quick eulogy, its not that I was about to quit bloggiology, just yet.
Its just that I had nothing to say. To be honest, I am still a bit blank.
But my previous post does reflect a side of bloggism that I would like to explore.
This weekend I've got the usual T-ball (that's the kiddie version of softball for those who feel obliged to think they are averse to American Sports hehe...) .. The baseball facility here in Cayman is called the Field of Dreams - I believe it is the most impressive sports facility in the Cayman Islands. I have just begun to help with the coaching of my son's team, Subway, and at this age group, there is no need to know a lot about the game, luckily for me.
I saw this article about Maxi Priest training with a local Football team recently. In fact I believe he performed here recently along with Freddy McGreggor. Along with Mad Bull, I also missed that show. When you work in Cayman, things can pass you by quite easily, because one is usually trying to keep one's proverbial head above water, work wise.
I am headed up to West Bay this morning to see a house being constructed by some friends - I am dedicating a certain amount of time to hitting the road to make people aware of my practice. Let's see how that goes.
Have a great weekend, folks.

After the love (of Bloggage) is gone
For awhile to love was all we could do
We were young and we knew
And our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Ev’ry night somethin’ right
Would invite us to begin the dance
Somethin’ happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Somethin’ happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh oh oh afterthe love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found
For awhile to love each other with all
We would ever need
Love was strong for so long
Never knew that what was
Wrong oh baby wasn’t right
We tried to find what we had
Till sadness was all we shared
We were scared this affair would lead our love into
Somethin’ happened along the way
Yesterday was all we had
Somethin’ happened along the way
What used to be happy is sad
Somethin’ happened along the way
Oh yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh oh oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found
Oh oh oh oh oh oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found
Oh woh woh
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found
Woh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found

For those of you too young (or oblivious) to recognise the above lyrics, they are of an old song by Earth, Wind and Fire. There is no current R&B group which can hold a candle to them. Trust me on that one, bloggionistas.
One of the current groups that I like very much is Black Eyed Peas. Here are the lyrics to Dont Phunk with my heart.
No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart (Yeah)
No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby)
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby)
Girl, you know you got me,
got me With your pistol shot me, shot me
And I'm here helplessly In love
and nothing can stop me
You can't stop me cause once I start it
Can't return me cause once you bought it
I'm coming baby, don’t got it (don’t make me wait)
So let’s be about it
No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart
Baby, have some trustin', trustin'
When I come in lustin', lustin
'Cause I bring you that comfort
I ain’t only here cause I want ya body
I want your mind too
Interestin’s what I find you
And I'm interested in the long haul
Come on girl (yee-haw) (come on)
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby)
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby)
No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart Girl
, you had me, once you kissed me
My love for you is not iffy
I always want you with me I'll play Bobby
and you’ll play Whitney
If you smoke, I'll smoke too
That’s how much I'm in love with you
Crazy is what crazy do Crazy in love,
I'm a crazy fool
No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart
Why are you so insecure
When you got passion and love her
You always claimin’ I'm a cheater
Think I'd up and go leave ya For another señorita
You forgot that I need ya
You must’ve caught amnesia
That’s why you don’t believe (uh, yeah, check it out)
Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, baby
Cause you know you got me by a string, baby
Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, baby
Cause you know you got me by a string, baby
Baby girl, you make me feel
You know you make me feel so real
I love you more than sex appeal (Cause you’re)
That-tha, that tha, that-tha, that girl [5x] [overlapping]
No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart [2x]
That-tha, that tha, that-tha, that girl [2x]
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby) [4x]
Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, baby
Cause you know you got me by a string, baby
Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, baby
Cause you know you got me by a string, baby[Thanks to bella_bambina@gmail.com for these lyrics][ www.azlyrics.com ]

Hello, is there anyone out there?
Folks
Well, what a Monday that was. From one thing to the other. And, our housekeeper was sick both Saturday and today, so as of 215 I was Mr. Mom.
My beloved 6 y.o. (pictured at right) had asked me not to come into the school ground, but to collect him at the gate, where I waited in vain for about 15 minutes, then I went inside to find the little fella, who said, "I forgot, Dad". What else could I say?
I met some website advertising folks today about a listing for me on their website, and now they want me to do some work for them also, so I am keeping busy.
I saw a guy using the Palm Treo 650, and I asked him about it, and he was convinced that it was beyond question the best communications device overall. The Palm Treo 700 is out, with a narrower body, and with a Windows platform, but C&W (where I have some points to credit towards the rather hefty puchase) only sells the 650 at the moment. My work emails are not that hectic at the moment, however I am already at the stage where my scheduling and tasks are quite active, and throughout my daily "out and about" I meet several people who I take their contact details from, so that I can market my practice, so the Treo is on my wish list, for email, contacts, and schedule (not so much the web, although the 650 I saw today, which was connected to Digicel, was muy rapido to rass, the guy opened up satellite weather maps, and it was amazing.
Anyway, I was trying to upload some pics of my boys, so hopefully it works. These are some pics of them on scooters that the got at Christmas. They are still scooting, too.
Blog you again before the week is done. Happy Valentines to all when it comes. Men, do your duty. Women, you know what to do.
By the way, under "Blogs of Note" on www.Blogger.com tonight, featured is none other than Guyana, congrats, GG, you are world class.

The NFL is a lot more than just hype.
Well, I see that my good bloggionista, Doctor D has lamented the lack of a post-game Super Bowl "report" from me, whilst still repeatedly pointing out he does not give a shyte about the game. I suppose he wants the report so that he can then say he does not give a shyte... or is a love for the American game lurking within him.. ?
I can say this.. Dr. D.. it is not fortuitous for one person (i.e. you) to watch the game in 3 locations. I am suggesting there is an affinity which you need to release!
I will stop now. Just kidding, Doc.
I will comment on the game briefly. The team I was rooting for won. There were a few strange referee calls, which will cast a bit of a cloud, but it does not matter, the Steelers won. Sad to lose Jerome Bettis , to well deserved retirement but after a 14 year career, he deserves it. I heard that the Seahawks may lose Shaun Alexander, that would be sad as well, but such is the nature of professional sports. 6 Million per year is not hype.
Folks, this is a quickie (would that it were a real quickie) I will post again tomorrow I hope, but no promises.

Big up the one Mad Bull and MB Jr.
Blogadies and Blogentlemen:
I was so happy that Mad Bull came to my aid with these problems I was having with the PC's in my home office.
Firstly, he made sure my wireless network was not open for all and sundry to plunder, and before he did that, he talked me on the phone through the process of ensuring that my email signature was appearing when it should - rather simple but still above my hard head.
We still cannot see the tool bar for blogger on the laptop - but like I told him, I am soon going to get rid of it. I do not recommend the Sony Vaio folks.
Whilst Mad Bull busily worked away at my network, MBJr. played with my 2 boys. They seemed like they were having a good time, and MB Jr was a little reluctant to leave.
Super Bowl Sunday is coming up folks - watch out for the Steelers - All who do not like the game, at least watch the half time show. There will be no more pierced nipple incidents, I am sure. Damn.
Kami - here is another quarterback for you, he made my favorite, Peyton Manning, look like a schoolboy a few weeks back. His name is Ben Roethlisberger. Watch him throw some bullets this coming Sunday. This is not just any given Sunday, it is Super Bowl Sunday.
Blog you again soon, folks.. once again big up the one Bull.. I owe you one.

It's the laptop, stupid
I had thought that Blogger was acting up, but as soon as I logged into my Dell desktop, I was able to see the toolbar which allows you to post pictures, edit html, format, fonts, etc. right away.
And I had complained to my IT gorgon, Mad Bull, that from my laptop I was unable to see the graphics (in every sense of that word) on his site, as well as that of Dr. D.
It turns out that it has something to do with the laptop, and that now I shall have to blog from the desktop that is in my office.
Oh, well, I am the boss now, so I shall blog from my desk with reckless abandon and blatant disregard.
But I have a couple of jokes on my email which are on the laptop so I will have to log into that stupid laptop (note, a PC is only as stupid as its user) to cut and paste those 2 little jokies. Naaah! too much chubble, Wait till the next post, to bludcleat.
Seems I may be in Jamaica on the 3rd March for a wedding, so I believe I will try to arrange a small blogger linkup, mixed in with a few non-bloggionistas.
RIP Corretta Scott King.

Cricket and the city (go figure)
Well, My posting thing still does not have the toolbar, so I aint waitin no mo. It does not even allow me to edit the html. I will have to change the whatchamallthefuckinthing completely.
Folks, check out this blog - www.rawdawgb.blogspot.com nothing like a well written college professor moonlighting as a bloggionista.
Again this will be a shorty, while I change the thingumaeffinjig to a different one.. this is not nice to rass.
Supposed to go and bowl a few balls in the nets today, then I will attend an licensed establishment or four. Rather than apply formally for bail, I will abscond. I even have a getaway vehicle waiting - see you later -

Freeness
Boy, this freeness ting, it can backfire from time to time. The tool bar in Blogger is missing now, so that I can post pictures, etc.
I don't know what I have done wrong. And when I installed Blogger for Word it would disappear from Word overnight.
Has anyone else noticed that the Posting page from Blogger has its toolbar missing?

Domino lingo
Notice, for those who live to tediously dissect grammar, that "domino" was not pluralised in the title. So love it or leave it, is all I can say.
Quiet long weekend for me here in paradise. I played 2 person dominos on the patio with my son today. I enjoyed using the South Sound domino lingo used by my friends.. it like this -
"S!" (short for one, or Ace)
"Deuce in your caboose" (two)
"tree in yuh pee pee" (three)
"Four"
"Feva docta patient low" (Five)
"Sex" or "Sexual healing" (six) - ok I did not teach my son that one.
"Blank in yuh shank".
Every time I wanted him to pass I said "Enter the Dragon" or "Enjoy the Buffet" until he got tired of me and complained, and I had to shut up.
But, this afternoon, like lady justice, wifey returned the "favour" I did when I went out last Friday by taking him out and leaving me with my sleeping 2 year old, so I decided to do this post.
I am still hoping for an ace up the sleeve, I think I will play the music loudly so he will "accidentally" wake up, then I will drop him to the park, where she is with my six year old, her sister and my nephew, Boogie.
Or, maybe not, perhaps I will lay low and wait..

Weekend is here folks
There is hardly any time to sleep - one has to make time for incidental matters such as sleep, given all the tasks that I have conjured up as being more important. Now, of course, there are a few important exceptions.... and blogging did not make the cut, unfortunately
I heard a broadcast of Jamaica's outgoing Governor making a speech this week at the National Prayer Breakfast. As a man of ninety-odd years, this man sounded very well, and he delivered his speech in a very inspirational way, and at one point he even said "Say Amen everybody".
Folks, along with a Member of Parliament, I went to Buttonwood Club last night. I had not visited that place in about 20 years. Basically a bar with all latina bombas as bartenders and waitresses. I left early, because I had passed through my usual haunt before that, the Office Lounge.
Nice time, 2 conference NFL championships tomorrow - seems a bit wide open, no one seems to be the clear favourite, since the 2 favourites, the Colts and the Patriots, were actually eliminated before. Are you ready for some football!
Enjoy your weekend and keep me posted on the runnins.

Bloggism
Now, can you imagine... I was looking forward to my NFL favorites, the Indianapolis Colts, making it to the Super Bowl. But it was not to be. They were today eliminated by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Top rated quarterback, Peyton Manning, simply did not deliver until the Colts' late surge in the 4th Quarter, when their grave was already dug.
And early in the game, especially the 4th quarter, 23 year old Ben Roethlisberger was throwing some missile-like passes and exposed some gaping holes in the Colts defense. As one of the CBS commentators said, he came to give an exposition on how to throw the football.
Anyway, I am still in good spirits, because the New England Patriots, the Super Bowl champs for the last 2 years were eliminated yesterday by Denver. That part of my wish list was satisfied, albeit one week late, because Jacksonville should have dealt with it from last Saturday.
On Friday 13th, my last day with my previous employer, I went out for several happy hours - it was also the last day for 2 of my colleagues, and the birthday of one of my colleagues.
Now, the first stop was a favourite of Trouble's for greasy English breakfast i.e. the Triple Crown Pub. It was ok I guess - as our group was quite large (and more Caribbean oriented) I did notice a few raised eyebrows from the mainly British regulars. I was enjoying their looks, and we stayed for a couple of hours, despite their oddity.
We then went to Senor Frogs. Now that was something. The birthday boy, lets call him Khalid, who despite his protests, and with the aid of his work colleagues, joined the MC on the stage, who proceeded to pour about a gallon of blue liquid, something looking like Hypnotiq, but I think it was something else, down his throat, as he laid on a fallen barstool. Lots of it spilled onto him and the floor, but lots of it obviously made its way to his brain, as later on he was completely sloshed. He emerged escorted from the restroom by his colleagues, where I assume he was worshipping the porcelain goddess and bestowing her with gooey gifts.
Then, a (nicely proportioned) female colleague and him fell flat on the floor with her face to face with him underneath, tables turned over and so on.
Then, last night, at Corner Pocket ( you have probably heard of that place before) there was a 40th birthday party for one of my former colleagues. That was nice, they gave us 2 tickets for drinks with the invite, but then they gave out more later, so it was a nice night, a DJ was playing some pretty good tunes.
This afternoon, I watched the Colts debacle, then I caught up with my boys who were attending a poolside birthday party for a class mate of my older son (6 year olds).
So it was an active weekend for my aging bones, on top of all this preparation I am doing for my new solo legal practice. I have a hectic schedule of errands for tomorrow, so hopefully I will get some work done tomorrow, to pay for this weekends fun..
Folks, have a great week, and let me know whats happening in your neck of the woods.

Weekend officially starts now!
Well, there is the NFL playoff's for one. I am rooting for the Colts, so hopefully Indy runs the ball, and scores lots of TD's. Here is to you, Tony Dungy, Peyton Manning, and team.
Also, my messing about with cricket is supposed to start with the first nets session tomorrow, where I will be playing for the team which goes by the name of my soon to be former employer. No nets for me tomorrow, because tomorrow is my last day ever working for other people. What a day! Puros haffe bun.
Happy hour tommorow, and god knows what else will follow.
I have been enjoying downloading music from Limewire, some great music there - I have downloaded about 10 hours of music, so far. God help my hard drive.
Folks, enjoy your weekend - Abeni, there is a picture of a man for you - an NFL quarterback - he will probably be in the SVG after the playoffs -

No title for this bloggage
Bloggage is at an all time low. I think I am overwhelmed. I am in my last week at my job so I think I am either depressed or exhilarated to the point of speechlessness.
I am glad I shot this one out before I was, lets say, invited so to do by some of my usual commentators, whose commentary I appreciate.
My father in law is still at the hospital, having been there from 28 November with a stroke. He is being released possibly this week, either to someone's house (maybe mine) or a nursing home.
Between the death of his wife in September (which is when I started this Blogging nonsense) and his illness, it seems I have spent the last several months in and out of the hospital.
This article by Tamara Scott Williams is interesting. Did any of my Caribbean crew come across any haughty Caribbean visitors during the holiday period (returning home for Christmas and blingin it up?)? I have seen some here, but its less conspicuous, for various reasons. I will do my best to maintain my "social graces and deportment" to steal the words of the Observer's article.
Mind you, I would be the last one to have wanted to miss that hilarious account on today's post by the Doc. Nothing like some cowitch to get in the way of some lovin..
So, on the other had, regular updates on your double dates (and single ones too) would probably be better than the politricks.
Damian Marley will be here this weekend - not sure if I will make that one, but maybe The Bull will - I will get a report from him or someone else, I am sure.
At least everyone was itching and not just one person.
Nice smiley pic of Halle above. Blog you all later...

Happy 2006 to all
Folks, have a super new year.
On new years eve, I had a whale of a time. At home, we did the usual fireworks with the boys, drank some bubbly, I had a(nother) puro, then when all were asleep, I went to a couple of small parties.
At midnight, fireworks lit up the sky for miles, continuously for over 1 hour. After that they continued, though intermittently.
One party in Prospect was just about finishing, and I had some food, then I went to West Bay, which was hosted by some Bajans, mainly. Both parties featured police officers having a good time bringing in the new year. The police just waved me through the DWI roadblock at Kings Sports Centre, and at about 3am, lots of folks were partying on the beach and lighting fireworks at the public beach.
On the way home, folks were jogging and walking, etc., starting the new year out on a healthy note. Yesterday, I slept a little, and its back to work (for my last 2 weeks tomorrow).
Hoping for some boating today, though its looking a bit overcast.. so blog you all later.

Looking forward to the New Year's weekend
Hello my fellow inhabitants of bloggsville.
Big up my Jamaican crew on their link up in Kingston town.
Just relaxing at home tonight, watching the 36 hour 007 marathon on Spike Tv.
Just had a Glenlivet 18 y.o. scotch and a Partagas cigar. This is the particular puro that I had tonight. It is a 30 minute smoke which leaves you feeling irier than any spliff, I can guarantee you.
Looking forward to New Years eve, going to light some fireworks for the boys, have another puro, and have some bubbly. I got a bottle of Don Perignon from one of my clients. Then, one of the ladies at work is having a party at her house, so I will pass thru in the wee hours of New Years day. At least that's the plan. Hopefully it actually materialises.
I will link up all of your sites now.

After Christmas peace
Folks, I hope all of you had a joyous Christmas. I did. I've been to a few parties here and there, and last night I visited some friends only to find that they were downing lots of bubbly. A cooler in the kitchen contained about 9 bottles of Veuve Cliquot, and I stayed for a few hours.
This morning, needless to say, there are a few bubbles in my system, however bubbles have limited lifespan, and will get expelled one way or the other.
On a somber note, I thought I should take a moment to pay tribute to the life of Oksana Douglas. Her photo from the Jamaica Observer is shown here. Read the article here.
The shooters apparently were shooting at a group of adults in the same location where she was, by a shop. It did not matter to them about the presence of this beautiful 7 year old child. Or, to pop some legalese, they must have been reckless as to the possibility that innocent bystanders might have been there. She must have been "collateral damage". Rest in Peace Oksana.
I've been downloading some music from Limewire, its pretty good, and downloaded a lot of music in the last couple of days. I will see how my hard drive holds up. Mad Bull may have to rescue me from whatever havoc I have done with the notebook.
On an event which is significant for me, I resigned from employment. My last day will be Friday 13th (Rass) January, 2006. I will let you know what I am doing in the middle of January. I am looking forward to an exciting 2006.
Happy 2006, my bloggionistas.

Christmas time again
I am spending 3 days at home with my boys. My father did me a great service today by taking the older of the 2 with him.
I was out last night to a few of the shops that opened late - Caymania was open until 9pm, and I was able to get something for a nephew -
I got a couple of gifts last night for my parents at Hobbies and books as well. By the time I got to Book Nook, it was 8:53pm and the security guard said that the would close at 9, so I did not bother to rush in on that one.
I found a new audio store last night though, so I will swing in there sometime today.

Invigorate your senses and fantasize upon the contents of the nectie of this here bomba who grew up just down the road from where my house is right now. Sabor! Mucho Gusto!

What is the true position, blogaroos?
Well doc, you are truly a lover of life. That is the impression given by your blog anyway. I shall ask the Bull to confirm that that is really what you are like.
This article from the Jamaica Observer is excellent. It relates to the Ringling Brothers circus, more particularly known as the four way race to the leadership of the ruling party in Jamaica. Yes doc - I know some folks are tyad of talkin, but this one is just some satire, something we can all do with at all times.
Boy, these last two weeks I returned to squash, not having played since 10th September 2004, the night before Ivan obliterated all 9 of the squash courts in Cayman. I feel some muscles that have been sleeping for years. Why people play sports voluntarily when it amounts to self-inflicted injury, is beyond rationalisation. I will try again on Saturday morning, since I have been invited by a good looking bomba so to do.

Oh for the weekend to hurry and come
Bloggionistas
How do you guys find so much time for this thing? It is amazing. In between all the work, play, kids, sleep, Christmas, it is increasingly difficult to pass thru and look at your blogs. It is even more difficult to make a post.
I see where Stanley "Tookie" Williams was executed, so all the old death penalty arguments are ablaze on CNN any any where else called the media.
I did not expect the Governator to give clemency - why do that, and screw up his re-election chances.
Sorry folks, I have no jokes, pics or anything, just a quick hello - I just had a couple of games of squash and I am mashed up.
Blog ya later.

A Li'l bidda dis, a L'il bidda dat
Bloggionistas
Contemplate the capabilities of this here creature wise and wonderful (the lord God made them all), Cayman Islands (and New York) Victoria's Secret Supermodel, Selita Ebanks. Other pics are available on Victoria's Secret's websites, among others.
This is a quickie postie between last nite's work Christmas party, and the one tonight for my wife's work. One of my bloggionistas was there, with his lovely wife at his side - Some will know who that is.
Today I visited the book ship Logos II.
This ship is a huge floating book fair, with countless books for sale, really cheap. Her picture is above. I will try to go again before she leaves, without the children driving us beserk. The books are mainly spiritual and educational, but there is certainly no bookstore in Cayman with an amount of books on display which is any where near the vast amount on this ship. Its going to Bermuda from here.
See you folks soon, and I trust you are enjoying the Christmas season. Party time now.

Cold front - not good, to rass. Hot front, well, now you talkin.
Well, I do now know why, but most Jamaicans are happy with the fact that they become the subject of a lot of twisted humour. Once, I sent one joke to my aunt, and it did not sit well with her at all. (She is actually visiting in Cayman at the moment) She gave me what some of my limie colleagues would refer to as a "bollocking" and said "you are a Jamaican who has forgotten where he came from, and now is making fun of Jamaicans", or something like that - so - here goes - I start with the disclaimer that this is all in good fun, and feel no way.
Three prisoners are waiting to be executed and
they are asked they wish to have for their last
meal. The Italian responds, "PEPPERONI PIZZA."
The warden serves him his Pepperoni Pizza,
and then escorts him to his execution.
The Frenchman requests Filet Mignon. The warden
serves him his Filet Mignon, and then escorts
him to his execution. The Jamaican requests two
mangoes.
"MANGOES????"
"Yes, MANGOES."
The warden replies, "but they're out of season!"
"So?" replies the Jamaican. "I MAN WILL WAIT,
STAR!"
Kinda cool here in the CI this weekend. Cold front passing through. My foreign colleagues would laugh at me, since by cold front, we mean 75 F. My a/c had been off for weeks, so my utility company, CUC, will have to wait a while before it sucks all of my living out of my blood claat.
Well, we have our 2nd Jazz Festival on this weekend, I will try and catch up with that this weekend. Last night my son did a great job narrating at his Christmas concert at his school.
Hey did you notice how some folks like to "lick shot"? I don't mean firearms, I mean like my friend Dr. D Hear im nuh,"let off another one, nuh"
I have a cousin, when he is on my boat, and he wants some speed, he says, "Buss it, nuh?"
If you have not read the above, at least contemplate the capabilities of the Star Girl above. Ain't nuthin but a G-Thang, baby.

Work, Play and Home
Can hardly get a chance to post these days. Its from one thing to the other. I have an aunt visiting from Jam, and I only saw her briefly, once.
She's around 72, but very adventurous - so I think I'll try to get her to Senor Frog's before she leaves.
Work was quite stressful today, our regulator came to do a 3 day inspection. My bosses, in their infinite wisdom, promised them a spreadsheet which did not exist, so I had to prepare it. At 430 p.m., after stressing about it all day, I finished it. Then I was burnt out.
A bit of stress at home as well, my father in law, at the ripe young age of 95, suffered a stroke last night. Today he is more alert, but he cant talk, and his entire right side seems to be paralysed. His picture is attached. He traveled the world as a mariner in his day and I have heard many of his seagoing stories. My mother in law, pictured to his left, passed away this past September. He had a CT scan today, but we have not heard from the Dr about what that shows.
Well, I don't know why Mad Bull thinks he needs to stop the beauty parade. If he needs to change anything, he can simply continue the parade, with the ladies not having gone to the trouble of wearing anything.
I will certainly not incite any further heated comments by going on about my truck any more, I will come up with something else, to blood cleat. I am just happy I was able to post a little suppn before someone, lets say, invites me to. I will delay the car talk a little more.
Puuuulll Uuuuuuup!

Da wah yuh get.
Hey folks -
I hung out at Singh's roti shop on Friday evening, downed a few Buds with a work colleague of mine, and then later, with a martial arts sensei. It's supposedly a Trini hangout, but mainly J'acans were hanging out and watching cricket, playing dominoes, and just limin, generally. As per the usual requirement, the staff was made up mainly of Bombas Centroamericanos.
During happy hour there is really no roti, just beer and finger food, but it was nice, still. I witnessed Brian Charles Lara break the test run total world record as he hit an impressive double ton down under.
Well they are now in the 2nd innings, so the best of luck to Brian, Chandie, and the rest of the Windies!
Just a short post today I think because the kids are acting up to bumbo!
I have to help calm them, and keep calm myself, as if that is possible! Blog ya later.
By the way, the cyber pageant being staged by the Mad Bull is replete with the handiwork of the Lord himself, nice Caribbean beaties to behold.

What to do, what to say, you wait, big tings a gwaan!
Well, I have been prompted by Dr. D to post something. Hopefully something will tickle your fancy here.
Well, the sporting world is scandalous as usual, one of the Portland Trailblazers just cussed his coach and they have suspended him for a while. But what is hidden in the small print at the bottom of the article is that this dude, Patterson, is a registered sex offender in Oregon, and gets millions as a professional athlete to rass! Read it here.
Here is another one, this time from the NFL, with the Philadelphia Eagles. I spoke about T.O. a few days ago, when he cussed his way to a season long suspension (though with full pay). Well his QB teammate, Donavan McNab, is now injured for the rest of the season. Now, you can eliminate one team from the playoffs for sure. Peyton Manning and the Colts are looking like Super Bowl to rass!
I would like to visit the Corner Pocket, and I probably will, but i read where some thug fired a shot into the sky in the parking lot of the same shopping centre where it is. Boy these young wimps with guns need a wake up call. So hopefully, I will catch up with my compadres Mad Bull and the Troubled one later on this week. I see where Trouble has mentioned it on his site.
Boy Trouble has been making some wicked posts recently. I can't possibly fit into his troubled shoes to rass. Also, the Bull has been solo recently. What does a Bull do without his wife, one wonders?
Now the maxim girl above lost her job on Al Gore's (remember him - he actually should be US president now, you know, because the stole the 1st term from him and then he would have won a 2nd term, they say) TV network, because of this photo shoot. Now if it was Bill's network, he would be been like, Yeaaah Naaaiccce. "Turn it owwver baybe let me slayam it one more tayime. Big up Bad boy Bill Clinton." "Thayat woman, Miss Lewinsky, her poontang was so Naaicce. You know ah never had sex with her. She did with me, that naaice beotch, with a naice poontang. " "She sat on me and ah got mah cream all over her blue frock. Naaaice. "
Well, blog ya later...hopefully again before Xmas..

Blogger's Bloc?
It is amazing how serious bloggionistas can come up with nuff bloggin material. I mean some of you are for blogs what some people are for cellphones.
I always stare in wonderment at people who's ears always have a cellphone glued to them and think "ok, what else can be happening that I am just ignorant of?" Even the person who just drove 1 inch from your car so that he could leave the traffic lane, go into the oncoming traffic lane, then turn in front of you so that he could enter the road you are leaving has a telephone glued to his ear.
And to think most of those phones are pre-paid phones, so people have to be topping them up with minutes. Now I know the way of doing that has advanced, you can do it online, at the bank, at the gas station, even at the atm, but the rate at which some people are yabbering away on cellphones should leave them little time to top up, I think, but hey, I guess they just do it while they are still talking on the phone.
My doctor's office has several signs saying "no cell phones" which I guess means please switch them off. If I forget to turn mine off and it rings I usually run outside, and talk, switch off, and the run back inside. Most folks just sit there in the waiting room, oblivious, phone ringing, and then bellowing into the phone "Hello?" when it rings.
I remember being in court once and one of our magistrates, lets call her judge dread, locked up a woman for her cell phone once, because the stupid idiot not only had her phone ring, but answered it and struck up a loud discussion on her phone in the gallery of the court. Judge dredd let her out at the end of the day.
Now here in Cayman Digicel has acquired Cingular. Digicel has gotten quite big here in Cayman, usually all Jamaican's have a digi phone, or both a digi and a C & W. It gets ridiculous sometimes. Once I saw a contractor with 3. He said he had to call his staff (all J'can) on the digi, his wife on the C & W, and certain other folks on the post-paid C & W. Amazing. I am still with C&W but over the years lots of folks got tired of them and when the market was liberalised lots of folks did the switch. There is no number portability yet, so I can't switch without changing over.
In October I went to the local business expo, and all of the phone companies were selling phones really cheaply (even giving some away) - C&W were selling one for $19, and I think Digi was selling one for even less. These were prepaid phones though, and I have never gotten into this buying credit thing.
Lots of European folks were getting Digicel recently too apparently because of favourable long distance rates.
I can barely keep up with my one.
Now you may wonder what how these pics relate to the above tirade, well, nothing actually. Just look if you like and don't if you don't. What else can be said? The one on the right is a top5Jamaica girl.

Back to work tomorrow @##!*%&$
Well, I had an extra long weekend, having added 2 days after our long weekend here in Cayman. One of the great things about that is that my week at work will be all of 2 days, before the weekend again. (Can you tell I like weekends? I am sure I'm not along on that one).
Hey check out this pic of a Miami Dolphins cheerleader - OMG, I have to big up a girl like this every time.
Lets go now to real football, where T & T has made the entire sporting Caribbean smile with pride as they have qualified for the World Cup by beating Bahrain 1-0. Big up Soca Warriors.
Until we blog again.

Long weekend, last for the year before the Holidays, yeah baby!
Hello blogaroos.
Nice to blog you again, having delinquently omitted to blog for about 6 days, to wit tuesday to Friday to rass. This ought to constitute some sort of criminal offence, prosecutable by an involuntary appearance on some kind of wall of shame website. Some has one already, I am sure. For example, Trouble has one linked to his website dedicated to poorly misrepresented chinese characters on tattoos. Now obviously the author has time.
Lot's of interesting folks out there blogging, including some a lady residing in the heart of Latinaville, Campfyah, who often has some interesting stories about the way of life in Venezuela. I await with baited breath her views on Mr. Chavez, one of Mr. Bush's favourite beating sticks.
I have been rather lazy this weekend, and I plan to pile on lots more donothingatalltorass. To sharpen things up a bit, I must run out to pick up some puros y unas cervezas. You know Campfyah, there's no Venezuelan beer here.
My friend at the national archive sent me this song for the Thanksgiving folks, I am not really into the thanksgiving itself, but I am into the food, therefore I will be nyamming (tr. eating) some turkey, should any traverse my immediate vicinity, and make entry to my digestive system, hopefully all of it proceeding thereafter to the exit, rather than to my mid section to rass. Any way here's the song enjoy it and shake your booties!
Any way, in between the wutlissniss, my boys had their respective swimming lessons, in 2 different places, and its off to softball for my 6 y.o. at 330. At the end of it all some rum haffe flow and some cigar ago bun. It a go bun!
Have a good weekend folks, and remember to comment (if you are not speechless) on Trouble's latest labour of love, about blood every where after a wild ride with one of his pre-Ivan lasses. As I was reading on, I thought it was going to be grosser than just rough riding causing bleeding, but its worth a read folks, so that you can delve into the unpredictable world of the one Trouble.

NFL, exciting on and off the field
Tonight, I would like to see the Monday nite game, and my satellite is down, to rahted. Yesterday was full of excitefullness and wonderfullment.
T.O... suspended due to his comments... amazing .. read it here. Boy, a man making millions expects to go into a broadcast interview and trash talk his team mate Donavan McNab (who, incidentally is a rare breed, i.e. a black quarterback) . Terrell himself is a great player, so it is sad that the league will be without him for the rest of the season..
Elsewhere, the man who has been accused by his former girlfriend of giving him herpes led the Atlanta to a 17-10 win over Miami. And, here in Cayman, we have so many broken hearted Dolfans.
Off the field, 2 of the Carolina Panthers have been caught having sex with each other in a bathroom in a bar. The atrocity is that they were arrested! The cops must have missed the real dyke action, to rass, and were angry, and arrested them for stopping!
Yo - no TV tonight, I will have to twiddle with the rabbit ears. Hopefully not too much snow, speaking of which, whats this controversy about the snowman t shirt? Amazing amount of press coverage still.
Lastly, lets keep Spanish Town in our thoughts as we hope and pray for peace in Jamrock.
Blogpeeps, Blog ya later!

November, eh? Another year gone
Yo bloggists, what's on your various minds, brothers and sisters? My mind is kind of scattered at the moment, nothing in particular to blog about. Work pressures are mounting (that is a majer rass understatement, to bumbo), as usual, and I can feel a big transition coming soon. I will tell you more about that when certain things happen, though.
The pirates landing was pretty good, although my wife did not speak to me there because yesterday I was a bit of a misery, having gone through a bit of a horrible Friday afternoon at work.
I am actually tired of alcohol. These days I will have a drink or 2, but I do not seem to have the urge for it at all. Could this be a sign of a life change, or is it just age catching up on me? Rass, I don't know, however whatever the benefits of non-drinking are, hopefully I can derive some of those (are there any?).
Long weekend coming up at the end of his week folks, and I plan to have whale of atime, including hopefully a domino session in the back of my place.
Today we began to put furniture into our old apartment, where my late mother in law lived until Hurricane Ivan devastated it last September. 14 months after Ivan, it is just now complete, and we are getting it ready for rental. We expected it to be ready from July, and I had the furniture for it from March this year, clogging up my garage and attic. Have to apply for electricity for it tomorrow. Hot today, rasta. It is now 917 pm and it is 82 degs!
There is indeed a funny story behind it, because someone washed my truck yesterday, and at Sunrise where the apartment is there is a huge puddle in the parking lot, so I refused to use my truck, as that beast would have taken all of the furniture in 1 or 2 trips. But I figure in the next few days when it looks like "normal" again, I will give in.
Here is a pic from Nissanusa.com with a red version of my truck. Mine does not have those "big tow" mirrors, which are a bit "in your face" when they are extended, like they are in this pic. But the Titan is one beast of an animal, and a pleasure to drive. It is a pickup and an SUV in one, as the four door layout affords a huge back seat area (for passengers, get your mind out of the niceness). The gas bill is atrocious, though, it is a v8, 5.6L guzzler! Mine is actually dark green, but the factory calls that deep water blue. Talk about toys (come one keep your mind straight) - adjustable pedals, rear a/v control, rear electric window, anti- glare mirror, front loading 6 cd changer, 10 speakers including sub-woofer, heated seats, leather, audio controls in the steering wheel, power seats, four 12v sockets, 3 inside and one in the truck's bed!, and a whole load of other wicked features I cannot even remember.
Peeps, let me know whats going on. I will surf your way and check out your musings and maybe some depraved rantings.

Not a lot to blog about, I don't think, but let's see where this leads
Hey folks
Happy All Saints Day (yesterday), or Day of the Dead if you are in Mexico.
Boy "rain" is not our buzzword, but our only word, although the sun has been peeping intermittently from yesterday.
Well we have seen where good old George has been converting the US Supreme Court into a Republican machine - this is very serious, as these appointments have no set expiry date. Well, let see where that goes - hopefully Uncle Sam knows what he is doing - let me know what you think my US bloggionistas! My USA legal heavyweights, please comment!
God bless the soul of Rosa Parks, who was laid to this week having been eulogised by such orators as Clinton, and receiving vocal tributes by such artistes as Aretha.
I think the Cayman Islands legal profession needs a Rosa Parks, who refuses to yield her seat to oppressors, of whatever shade.
All of the fallout from doping in sports (yes I do not care who wants to call it sport) continues. The Man who claims to have sold it to Marion Jones has been indicted.
Well, it looks like the weekend is upon us, and maybe some of my new found crew may check out Senor Frogs - nice place, I like it - I certainly recommend it to those who have not tried.

Miscellany
Hello out there in blogsville
Hope you are having a good Halloween (if you are in a place that celebrates that) - my kids have their costumes ready, and hopefully they will collect some candy tonight without getting wet by the rainfall that we have been so fortunate to receive, continuously now for several, wet days.
I just tried to upload a couple of interesting pics sent by cousin Deb from Jam, but Blogger was having errors, my word, I guess the pics were to hot for Blogger - oh well, if you post your email address as a comment, I shall be sure to send those nice pics for you to contemplate.. My heart still palpitates in the after effects of having eyed them carefully.
Like certain of my bloggionista amigos, I am now battling the 'flu, hopefully I can get rid of it shortly.
On a sad note, we have all seen the news about the killing of 2 young Roman Catholic priests in the land of my birth, Jamaica. An amazing article has been written by Father Ho Lung, mentioning that the killer(s) are in fact forgiven. This is another article as I have been unable to retrieve Ho Lung's. Read it here.
The killing was also published by CNN
This is one of the most saddest stories to have emerged from Jamaica. You know, my cousin who visited with me recently told me that part of the blame for crime in Jamaica rests with me, as I have not returned there to help resolve it. Amazing. Apparently he was blameless, but I was blameworthy.
I just tried again to upload those pics.. for a moment of breathless relief, however let me know and I will email to any of you daring enough to post your email address as a comment to this -

Alpha, Beta and ra$$ Gamma
I am the alpha and the omega, etc.
Well, our little 3 rocks are once again under a wet deluge of heavenly wata.
Rather than complain I will lift my head to the hills.. oh well, the underwater hills anyway, because we have no hills here..
madbull, despite the rain, hold up thy head, breddrin.
Mount up like eagles, run and not faint.. etc.
Hey I feel like preachin today.. My dad who is a minister would be real proud even for my flippant rant of spirituality.. as seldom as it happens
Not complaining about rain any more, genklepeeps, going to thank the one on high.
Now when it comes to hurricanes, now that is a cussin matter, and if the Lord chooses to make me survive to see the aftermath, then, once again..
But of course, the rain is love making weather, they say, for me, it is trying to control my 2 boys whose cabin fever need treatment by Dr. D by whatever means necessary.
I just ran inside, having once again tried by hands at some gardening - well, thank god I don't live of that, I would sure starve - one heavenly shower came and me and the boys ran for cover!
Peeple - enjoy your weekend - we will try to enjoy a wet pirate's week!

Same as usual.. nuttin much
Hey folks
Wilma's outer tentacles are still whipping up some waves on our shores, serious road crossing waves I mean.. Some damage to homes and business reported - however not widespread damage.
Jamaica's prime minister, P.J. Patterson was here this weekend - big time gala at the Marriott last night, I heard that it was flashy - now some may cringe, but the man is a head of state after all - For some of course, this is an important moment, as they are many who hold this man in very high regard. This visit was to commemorate his receipt of an international award along with Kofi Annan. Well it turns out that PJ decided to use this visit to lash out at the visas, oh well, next time he'll need a visa --
Well my cuz returned from Cuba this past Friday night and left today on Air Jam to Kingston. He is a bit of a high maintenance 27 y.o., but this weekend I was cool with him. A nice woman came and visited him here at my house last night, and after dinner with us they left in her car, and I was out cold so I did not know (nor wanted to) what time he (or they) returned.
You see, his mother is my mother's sister, and his mother is a giant of a woman, college professor, writer, minister of religion, and the list goes on. The lady simply makes me feel at peace when she visits us here in Cayman. So I don't really care how her son carries on, seen? (I mean he ain't carryin on with no bull$hit in my house still - I will invite him to vacate).
What I do for him is really for her as well.
Well, as our leglislators have seen it fit to step up the fight against crime in Cayman, they are now passing a law to ensure that those serving sentences for serious crimes must serve at least 5/9ths of their sentences. 1/3rd was the amount before parole before.
Mad Bull said to me that you see, "I used to roll like that" - he sounded more like a high horse... Well folks, I will do as I see it fit - thanks for the invite though, and give us more bloggage, so that if we are not moved intellectually, at least there will be a rise in temperature! I am sure that my bloggionistas can return occasionally to the kind of mayhem they used to create - so MB - here is an open invitation - for old times sake - lets have another of those blogs of old - hotties - yeah yeah!
Have a good week folks!

Wilma gone, big rass must have drank mad puss piss!
Now, can you imagine, one bitch of a storm, Ivan came last year and kicked our butts half way to Timbuktu.. and now, 14 months later, his stinkin kissin cousin, Wilma, comes around here with her stinkin rass breath? Does she even have a clue? Better yet, does she have a Cayman Islands visa, work permit, or status? She mussie really want me call Immigration and lock down her rass. Givin people nothin but unwanted rass fellatio.
Illegal alien dawta of a diseased cow, may the fleas of a zillion camels infect her bumbo rass. Effin Kiss me rass come and block Mad Bull road. And you know all MB need to do is phone I & I so that I can file an injunction against I stinkin jezebel so that she can can rass clat go back to West Africa or wherever the bitch made her Genesis.
Every time I look at my bruised and battered house all I can think of is that SOB Ivan the terrible. 2 times the tiles came for the roof and the 1st time they were wrong. Now the man dem put up the price for gutters - these contractors around here really think money grown on grape trees! Wutless bunch of tiefin rasses dem.
Now I heard about Wilma, but she has no idea that no one in Cayman can take any brushes with a twist crotch cow like her or any other storm for the time being. God help us finish this season. Now these storms have so much audacity that they are going to have to start a list name Alpha, Beta, Delta, and so on?
I DO NOT WANT TO HERE NOTHING ABOUT ANY GOD DAMN ALPHA OR MALPHA OR ANY EFFIN THING ELSE. NO MORE EFFIN STORMS TO RASS.
ENOUGH CUSSIN. NOW HERE'S JESSICA ALBA (FROM DAH BAAAACK), AND RIHANNA - BAJAN BOMBA!

Wilma kickin some you know what
WTF! Wilma Cat 5 overnight? She is a real bitch! I woke up to the sound of the wind at 5am. Blowing here in Cayman at tropical storm force.
As usual, I will post 2 of the jokes that have blown my way by email - the 1st one was just sent to me by my cousin in Fla. but it has been around for some time now -
YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2005 when...
1. You accidentally enter your password on the
microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards
in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers for your
family of 3.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk
next to you.
5 Your reason for not staying in touch with
friends and family is that
they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your
cell phone to see if
anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site
at the bottom of the
screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone,
which you didn't have
the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is
now a cause for panic
and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line
before getting your
coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to
smile. : )
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are
going to forward this
message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on
this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that
there wasn't a #9 on
this

WHEN I SAY I'M BROKE...I'M BROKE
A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.
"Good morning, " said the young man. "If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."
"Go away!" said the old lady. "I haven't got any money!" and she proceeded to close the door.
Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed wide open.
"Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least seen my demonstration." And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet.
"If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder."
The old lady stepped back and said,
"Well I hope you've got a damned good appetite, because they cut off my electricity this morning ."
Well - folks, my cuz returns from Cuba this weekend and spends it here before returning to Jam Rock - with Wilma south of us giving us one hell of a blow job, Cuba is the right place to be (until later this week, that is)
I hope Jamaica survived ok - I see Weather Channel showing some flooding in Jam etc. Keep yourselves dry.
Here's a of senorita from the Dominican Republic! Bomba!

Well - I saved the above as a draft and went to the Business Expo, peeps. OK, but smaller than in previous years. But boy, I wanted to show you a few tings still!
Me and my cuz went to a few places.
1. We went to Western Union at a supermarket, because the man was receiving a money from yard. They did not have sufficient US$ Cash, so I told him I wud take him elsewhere to collect. I picked up some food at the Supmkt and went next door to the pharmacy. When I was ordering my food, my yute look at the lady an seh "me want a sample piece a dat chicken deh" and him eat it off like a starving refugee and waved it around at me and seh - "you want piece?" which I declined courteously. I thought Lord, why me.
Whilst I was waiting for the pharmacist to do her thing, my yute (cuz) look at me and seh.. why you don;t si down and have your food. Now, dis is in the drug store you know Iyah! I said no, thats fine, I will have it in the car. He said no.. F____ dem, have it here. I said some unkind things to him then, then I said in my mind ... Lord, why me.
2. We went to Western Union in a bank, where my yute collect him US$. Nothing untoward. We went to FCIB, to change the US$ to Canadian, because my yute is leaving here for Cuba, and says US$ is no longer accepted there (right or wrong, I Don't know). He say the line (queue) and said no my yute, I checkin customer service. The chick there said, no, please go back to the line, I have no cash here. My beloved cuz said, you haffe gimme a bly, because I know you a yardie and you nah treat me this way.. anyway, my girl left her station, walked to the opposite side of the bank, and got the US$ and bring it back for my yute. At the end I struck up a convo with an Espanita, who said she has worked in Caymman for 2 years.
3. By then, I wanted to rid myself of my beloved cuz, so I called my brother, who had not entertained him for the whole week, I guess because I was off. After he picked up cuz, I said.. Thank god..
What do you think folks.. I thought the dude was acting up a bit, but wifey thinks that time was just wearing on because I had been taking him out all week.
SOB, and I was going to take him to Corner Pocket tomorrow - now.. let bro put him before the TV.... I will deal with the Espanitas.. Cus goin to Cuba anyway, so I will deal with the one one Espanitas in Cayman...
Have a wicked weekend folks -
Hope to do it again soon - I will invite Mad Bull to see how he reacts to the North Sound..

Week off - nuttin bettah
Yow- I am off this week genklepeeple.
My cousin is down from Mandeville, Jamaica, and I took him out on my boat yesterday. Nice day (I hope he thinks so) - stingrays at the sandbar, about 100 large iguanas sunning by a canal, Heineken on the boat, lunch at the Rum Point Restaraurant. Mahi-Mahi sandwich for me, Chicken for my cuz..
Then, we stopped at the beach behind the Westin for a few minutes... well, most days should have been like that one.
Now you may think that Eva Longoria is strictly down the conservative, given her success in Desperate Housewives, and her association with NBA great Tony Parker - however in keeping with the latina in her, here she appears in Maxim.. Mama Mia.. yo quiero Taco ... well you know the rest.
Ketch up with you soon - errands to do -not only that, my 2 year old decided to apply some artwork to a form I was completing at my desk - so .. here goes again..
Lateeeer.

Whaat!? Da wa yu get.
Greetings all
Quiet weekend, I saw my Blogging crew last night at the Corner Pocket - I felt a bit silly being introduced by Blog name - but I did have several Heinekens and tried pool and darts - so it was a nice evening.
Now the one
Now, to close, I will leave you with 2 jokes, I don't know if you have come across them before, but one of them is at the expense of Jamaicans, so take note - this is all in good fun.
St. Peter came to the Lord and said, "Lord, I have to talk to you. I have a problem. I know we didn't have many Jamaicans in heaven so you instituted an affirmative action plan and we are supposed to have 10,000 Jamaicans in heaven. But they are causing so many problems! They have torn down the Pearly Gates by swinging on them. They have let in another 10,000 of their bredrin through the fence. They are constantly standing by the gate disturbing Angel Gabriel begging for a "bly" for their baby modder, cousin, sistren, neighbour, granny, auntie...Whenever it is their turn to watch the gates they keep letting in good looking women and fat women. They have gotten jerk sauce all over their white robes. Drum pan chicken is being sold all over the Streets of Gold. Some are walking around with only one wing because they are "styling"Angels must have two wings to fly! Some of them have put on chrome wings and dazzling the other angels when they are flying. The white robes are eternal and must be washed five times a day. Some haven't washed their robes since they arrived because they didn't come to heaven do "day's work". Some have refused to take their turn in helping keep the Stairway to Heaven clean because "dem ah no boddy helper". Many who came here because they used salt are still using it because they don't like "ital" food. Some refuse to wear their halos because they don't fit right over their hairstyles. Others are wearing their halos backways. Others are wearing their halos with the tags still attached to them. Others have discarded the white halos and are wearing gold ones instead they claim these are " bashy". Most of the women have discarded their white robes and are wearing white shorts and "batty riders" claiming that they have pretty skin and want to show off their "bandylegs". Reggae music is blasted at all hours of night at their "bashments", disturbing all the other residents. Their cellular phones are worn on their robes and keeps ringing during prayers. Recently there was an altercation between Adam and one Jamaican who claims he was only "checking out" Eve. They have planted marijuana in the Garden of Eden since the soil is so fertile claiming "man and man haffi hustle".What should I do?!"The Lord said; "It wouldn't be fair to not let Jamaicans in heaven.They have just as much right to be here as other nationalities. Maybe we just don't know how to deal with them; maybe we are using the wrong approach.We need to check with someone who has more experience dealing with them. Let's call the Devil. The Devil answered the phone and said, "Hello, Lord. What can I do >for you?"The Lord said, "We have a problem up here, and we'd like to talk to >you about it." The Devil said, "Just a minute, I've got to put you on hold. "The Devil was gone five minutes. He came back to the phone and said, "OK Lord, I'm back. What's up?" The Lord said, "Well, I would like to talk to you about a problem up here."Once again the Devil excused himself and put the Lord on hold. This time he was gone for fifteen minutes. Finally, the Devil came back to the phone and said,"Lord, I am really sorry, but I can't talk to you right now. I have to go. These damn Jamaicans down here..... Yesterday they had air conditioning installed. Now they have just extinguished Hell's Fire, saying "man come to Hell fe 'chill'.
And the other one --
There was this couple that had been married for 20 years. Every time they made love the husband always insisted on shutting off the light. Well, after 20 years the wife felt this was ridiculous. She figured she would break him out of this crazy habit. So one night, while they were in the middle of a wild, screaming, romantic session, she turned on the lights. She looked down. and saw her husband was holding a battery-operated leisure device... a vibrator! Soft, wonderful and larger than a real one. She went completely ballistic. "You impotent #$%&^*%," She screamed at him, "how could you be lying to me all of these years? You better explain yourself!" The husband looks her straight in the eyes and says calmly: "I'll explain the toy . . . you explain the kids."
Any way, I will post a picture of one of my co-workers - some of you may recognise her. This photo came from a public, on line source. I will post some pics on the next post.

One weekend I am happy for
I must join my counterpart, Mad Bull, in giving Senor Frogs the thumbs up it is indeed a positive addition to the Cayman scene, albeit without numerous scantily clad latinas with come hither eyes (and other physical attributes).
The lack of senoritas at Frogs really does not take away from its allure- the rest of the Cayman demographic does gather there - a few Jamaicans, Caymanians, Canadians, Americans, and of course limies, sorry the British would be a more appropriate (though undeserved) designation.
I a legal practitioner, but this blogging world really does allow me to vent my more humble, realistic side. You see my beloved profession is to me annoying by its pretence, which exudes itself at every possible opportunity. Lawyers sleep pretentiously. I make no apologies for my painfully real disposition, which sometimes I suffer for, but that cost is nothing to bear.
Mad Bull http://www.madbull4.net is truly my ally, and I will take care not to be on the receiving end of his charge - I look forward to his posts, especially photographic or other representations of the female gender, even my wife knows I am completely helpless in my affinity for the ladies. In all seriousness, it is indeed the subject of envy that Natty's co-workers have expressed to her positive opinions in respect of the "mojo" of the Bull...
There is nothing more gentlemanly than the reflective manner in which the Bull described the meals at Senor Frogs and Sunset - once I calm down from the excitement of this blogging world which is new to me, I will perhaps constrain myself to dabbling in some of the more mundane aspects of Caymanian life - however for now its ladies and music that are occupying my blogging mentality, and such will be manifested in the content of this blog. Hopefully for the female surfers this will not seem too self serving, well to be frank, it is .. so there you go.
Lastly, based on the Bull's comments, I watched Crash last night, it was a masterpiece. My wife watched it this morning, and she must have liked it as she actually watched all of it.
Peace to all.. Blog you later.. Big ups once again to the one Mad Bull.

Mine how yu recommend de vitamin s to a Chinese Joe.
Blogger peeps - I am back - I will surf into your doorsteps after I post this..
Subject: FW: CHINESE SICK LEAVE
I NOT COME WORK TODAY!!!"
Hung Chow calls in to work and says, "Hey, boss I
not come work today,
I really sick. I got headache, stomach ache and my legs hurt. I not come
work."
>> >> >>> >
The boss says, "You know Hung Chow, I really need
you today. When I feel like this I go to my wife and tell her give me sex.
That makes everything better and I can go to work. You try that."
Two hours later Hung Chow calls again: "Boss, I do
what you say and I feel great. I be at work soon. You got nice house."
>>
Es necessario por mi jefe decir la misma. Yo voy a su casa immediatamente.... El no esta alli!!!
Any way, whats happenin - Angry Dog - how's the dykes? Are they nice dykes, or gross - eef you ketch my dreeft.
In that shocker of a post by Dr. D recently (Re gays in bars and in red high heels in Jam) he mentioned that latinas were working in a bar in Jam. It is pretty compulsory in Cayman. Who no have dem senoritas nah say nutten!! Dem don't know eff all about taking a drink order in english but dem hooooooootttt....
They have this curious habit of very nicely wrapping a napkin over the top of an open beer before they serve it. I think the poor latinas are used to having to keep flies off the drinks, unless that piece of stereotyping is me jus being rude... oh well not the first time, nor the last..
Why you think my learned Madbull (www.madbull4.net) and other bloggionistas hang out at corner pocket? Ostensibly, its for the pool or darts. I guess same here, when I go this Saturday, is for pool too... until you get there y las latinas son caliente y delicioso. Es possible yo no volver a la casa despues de la corner pocket en Sabado. Yo voy a la casa de la latina loca... Andale!!! Las latinas de corner pocket son de Honduras, Santo Domingo, Panama y Cuba - ay caramba mama mia, yo quiero solo una!
Excuse the bad spanglish (and the bad english too....)

All manner of Izim Skizim
Here's a couple of links, one for Jah Cure fans,
http://www.jahworks.org/music/interview/jah_cure.htm
, also
For the not so fond of George Bush citizens of the world:
http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/message/index.php
Boy Michael Moore was kickin some major republican butt on that one, Katrina backlash and all.
Here's what Mama Bush's motor mouth said - her infamous faux pas
In a segment at the top of the show on the surge of evacuees to the Texas city, Barbara Bush said: "Almost everyone Ive talked to says we're going to move toHouston."Then she added: "What Im hearing which is sort of scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality."And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."
Now in that bit of verbal diarrheaah true extremism was unadulterated. This is how the President was brought up.
Now today, I see that George has appointed his old lawyer to the Supreme Court. Now, I guess there is something good about a non-judge (i.e. a non-career civil servant) joining the bench, but old George must know he is going to take some heat for appointing a crony to the bench Come on George, at least pretend to be objective, even if your brain is fried on cocaine.
See the mug shots of George's daughter as well as other famous arrestees at www.thesmokinggun.com.
Well I had better get some sleep before returning to .. well.. work. I will expound in the fullness of time.

The office is getting under my skin
My day started off ok, but then at the end things got scary. Working for other people can definitely shorten one's lifespan. Unless I do something, it will shorten mine, anyway.
I could really go to the corner pocket and down some beer tonight, (and lust at the latinas) but wifey would do me in (again). I see one lonely bud light in the fridge, but the cupboard is full of other more potent libations - I think I will have a scotch (after the bud light).
I wonder if the bull (www.madbull4.net) has posted any new and excited laydeees with nice bootees and toing to to toing toing toings.. lets see -
Leave it there for now, gots to pop a top.

Rainy weekend
Rainy weekend...
Good weather for indoor sports of every variety...
Boy those satellite pirates are something else... they want to charge $200 so that someone else’s credentials can be used so that I can pretend to be on the mainland – not surprising... but things are not well coz the cable guy says wait one month until he installs.
Hey that http://www.muzikmedia.com site is really wicked. Welcome to Jamrock videos and a lot more.
This is a test post using Blogger for word. Let’s see if it will get lost in cyberspace.

Well, I went to the dj competition last night. I do not know what to make of it. It was well attended by a lot of j'cans, but also locals, and other expats. It was a bit suprising to see so many different types of people, in a place that used to be considered a J'can hangout. Call me a geyser, but I had forgotten how people can go mad over a brother selecting a few tunes. Boy that Jah cure one about behind the metal bars made them go ballistic...
The new management of the Mango Tree changed the place up a lot though, its now a decent outdoor venue. The J'cans really enjoyed Nico, a dj from Jamrock, as well as Martino, and the other dj's.
Like a lot of local bars, there were lots of latino bartenders, as usual, keeps the customers looking, anyway, if not salivating.
C&W gave away lots of mobile minutes, which delighted all the pay as you go (broke) massive.
Like I mentioned last night, Mad Bull http://www.madbull4.net is going to have to assist me on this, because past a certain point I am a pc dummy. I am not going to read one of those yellow books.
Cool, as I am typing this Man United v Fulham is starting. I have not watched premier league for a while but I would expect Sir Alex's lads to kick some major limie ass.
Well I was just made to eat my words as Fulham scored in the 2nd minute (scored by John) United looked like sissies in the 18 yard box. I know some major limie bawlin must be goin on.
