Good morning, good people.

Anyone have any exciting stories to tell? Fiction or non-fiction, your choice.

Six months ago I singlehandedly apprehended two vicious criminals that, together, owed Sanral more than R500.

President Zuma then invited me to Nkandla to swim in the fire pool and discuss matters of national security.

I made such an impression on him, he sent me on a top secret, undercover mission to unearth the holy grail and the business secrets of foreign shopkeepers that they refuse to share with our local business men and women.

Together, me and four clones of Robert Mugabe set out on this mission that took us all the way to the deepest, darkest African jungles and Bryanston.

And that is why I've been so quiet on the forums lately.

You can pick into which category it falls. Because of the non-disclosure agreement I'm not allowed to say ;)

There a few holes in this story that lead me to believe it's not true. I shall proceed to point these out in list form.

1. " Six months ago I singlehandedly apprehended two vicious criminals" - I'd bet you do a lot of things 'singlehandedly'. If ya know what I mean. (This has nothing to do with any holes, I just thought I'd throw it in there)

2. President Zuma and the word discuss on the same sentence? Who are you and what have you done with the person who should know that the president hardly has the cerebral capacity to keep himself alive, let alone discuss things?

3. You posted your reply at 19:03. No one makes it out of Bryanston before 19:30.

With this evidence, I put it to you that this is naught but a fairytale.

Sorry for the long post. Let me know if you want a potato.

Well spotted. And I'd love a spud, thanks.
 
Took the whole night, but finally got my Raspberry PI2 connected to the internet via wireless and posting with it :p
 
Heard a very unintelligent song this morning, apparently the youth loves it. <sigh> my sympathies to their development.

I do have serious concerns around some music aimed at the youth of today. However, having listened to some of the highly regarded music of yesteryear I have come to the conclusion that it's the same drivel in a newer package.

I'm a big fan or rap music, it's one of my favourite genres, but some rap... egh... It's taken a fall down the tree of unintelligence and hit every branch on its way down. Some song you can relate to, some songs are well/cleverly-written, others ehhhhhhhhhh... I don't know - listen to it for entertainment purposes only. I've grown more fond of Trap music: Electronic and Rap mixture. Not too many dumb lyrics and the beat is usually catchy. I suppose the "dumbest" genre of music I listen to would be Dubstep.

My dad tried to get me into Jazz, didn't work and I'm also not a big fan.

I'm a big rock/metal and related sub-genres fan. The biggest issue is have is when you start comparing lyrics.

So let's compare "Back in Black" by AC/DC to "Peter Piper" by Run DMC (still apparently regarded as one of the top groups of the genre and one of their top songs)

Back in black I hit the sack
I been too long I'm glad to be back
Yes I am
Let loose from the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I keep looking at the sky cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse cause I'll never die
I got nine lives cat's eyes
Using every one of them and runnin' wild
Cause I'm back
Yes I'm back well I'm back
Yes I'm back
Well I'm back back
Well I'm back in black
Yes I'm back in black
Back in the back of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet I'm a power pack
Yes I am
In a bang with the gang
They gotta catch me if they want me to hang
Cause I'm back on the track and I'm beatin' the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now I'm just makin' my play
Don't try to push your luck just get out of my way
Cause I'm back
Yes I'm back
Well I'm back
Yes I'm back
Well I'm back back
Well I'm back in black
Yes I'm back in black

Well I'm back yes I'm back
Well I'm back yes I'm back
Well I'm back back
Well I'm back in black
Yes I'm back in black

Ho yeah
Oh yeah
Yes I am
Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah
Back in now

Well I'm back, I'm back
Back, (I'm back)
Back, (I'm back)
Back, (I'm back)
Back, (I'm back)
Back
Back in black
Yes I'm back in black

Outta sight

compared to
Now Peter Piper picked peppers but Run rocked rhymes
Humpty Dumpty fell down that's his hard time
Jack B. Nimble what nimble and he was quick
But Jam Master cut faster Jack's on Jay's dick
Now Little Bo Peep cold lost her sheep
And Rip van Winkle fell the hell asleep
And Alice chillin somewhere in Wonderland
Jack's servin Jill a bucket in his hand
And Jam Master Jay's making out our sound
The turntables might wobble but they don't fall down

Now Dr. Seuss and Mother Goose both did their thing
But Jam Master's gettin loose and D.M.C.'s the king
Cause he's adult entertainer
Child educator
Jam Master Jay king of the crossfader
He's the better of the best best believe he's the baddest
Perfect timin when I'm climbin I'm a rhymin apparatus
Lot of guts
When he cuts
Girls move their butts
His name is Jay hear the play he must be nuts
And on the mix real quick and I'd like to say
He's not Flash but he's fast and his name is Jay

Jay's like King Midas as I was told
Everything that he touched turned to gold
He's the greatest of the greater get it straight
He's great
Playing fame cause his name is known in every state
His name is Jay
To see him play
Will make you say
God damn that DJ made my day
Like the butcher the baker
The candlestick maker
He's a maker a breaker
And a title taker
Like the little old lady who lived in a shoe
If cuts were kids he would be you
Not lyin y'all he's the best I know
And if I lie my nose will grow
Like a little wooden boy named Pinocchio
And you all know how the story go

Tricks are for kids he plays much gigs
He's a big bad wolf and you're the three pigs
He's a big bad wolf in your neighborhood
Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good

We're Run-D.M.C. got a beef to settle
D's not Hansel he's not Gretel
Jay's a winner
Not a beginner
His pockets get fat others get thinner
Jump on Jay like cows jump moons
People chase Jay like dish and spoon
And like all fairy tales end
You'll see Jay again my friend
