P.S. On the drive back from Seattle to San Jose, Caddy, Labdee and I (i.e. myself not I, i.e. me not Self) became the unfortunate discoverers of certain beverages served at a gas station in Oregon that we decided to name 'Cacaffee and Piss Chocolate'!

Cute Overload

http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/

Because sometimes you just need to look at pictures of kittens. Or farm animals. Or hedgehogs.

I thought it wasn't possible...

Europe. The Final Countdown. Among the worst songs ever. And now, finally, we have seen the one thing that has turned it into something beyond unbearable.

Hasselhoff Not Drunk

http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=228860&GT1=7703

Publicist: Hasselhoff Was Sick, Not Drunk
Jul 27, 12:45 PM EST
The Associated Press

"LONDON -- A spokesperson for David Hasselhoff denied a report Thursday that the former "Baywatch" and "Knight Rider" star had been turned away from a
British Airways flight because he was drunk.

Judy Katz, the actor's publicist, called the story by the tabloid Sun "totally untrue."Katz said Hasselhoff had not been drinking, but felt unwell after taking some medication for a recent arm injury and wasn't able to get on a flight Wednesday from Heathrow Airport to Los Angeles.

The Sun reported the actor had been told he could not board the flight because he was drunk. Witnesses told the newspaper Hasselhoff appeared to have trouble standing and told staff he was upset about his divorce from Pamela Bach. The divorce was finalized Wednesday in a Los Angeles court. Hasselhoff, 54, was allowed to get on a later flight, the newspaper said.

The airline said only that a male passenger had been refused boarding after he was deemed unfit to travel.

"They gave him some strong antibiotics and he got sick at the airport," Katz said. "He couldn't get on the plane. It was his choice. He got on the later flight."

Last month, the actor sliced four tendons and an artery in a shaving accident at his London hotel.

Earlier this month, there were press reports that an intoxicated Hasselhoff had to be removed from the All England Club, which presents the Wimbledon tennis championships. He denied the claim. "


Shaving accident?! Hmm...

CHUCK THIS OUT !!!

It started with a random mail from 'he-who-should-never-be-named' but when i gooogloegloed it... well, the rest will say the rest...

Guns don't kill people. Chuck Norris kills People.

Chuck Norris does not know where you live, but he knows where you will die.

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

Chuck Norris can slam revolving doors.

Chuck Norris' action figure has slept with more women then most men.

Chuck Norris' dog is trained to pick up his own poop because Chuck Norris will not take shit from anyone.

If it looks like chicken, tastes like chicken, and feels like chicken but Chuck Norris says its beef, then it's fucking beef.

Chuck Norris never hides, he only seeks.

Jack was nimble, Jack was quick, but Jack still couldn't dodge Chuck Norris' roundhouse kick.

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.

Outer space exists because it's afraid to be on the same planet with Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.

When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.

Chuck Norris’ hand is the only hand that can beat a Royal Flush.

There is no such thing as global warming. Chuck Norris was cold, so he turned the sun up.

Chuck Norris can lead a horse to water AND make it drink.

Chuck Norris doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.

It's that time of the year again...

It's been a year since the last one and as you all know, the last one didn't go that well. But you all are even more aware that I'm a glutton for punishment. So today at noon, I'm beginning the 1800 km drive to Colorado for this year's experiment in self torture: Ride the Rockies 2006.

Last year, I trained poorly and yet completed all but 13 miles of the course. This year, I have trained even less and there are three stages of 80+ miles. I am going to die on the mountain. Please send flowers to my funeral. I prefer white lilies.

Unfortunately for my new bride, she didn't know what she was getting into when she said, "That sounds like fun! I'll do it this year with you." So we bought her a bike and she trained as little as I did. I guess the young only learn by experience.

This year's tour features Clueless Wife, The Old Man, Old Man Winter and yours truly. Clueless Wife is starting to feel jittery about the tour. The Old Man is scoffing at the route because he has trained twice as much as the training schedule calls for. Old Man Winter is grumpy about having to do the tour. I started having minor heart attacks after seeing the elevation profiles. We will be covering 419 miles in 6 days, most of which I intend to be on my back in an ambulance or on a stretcher. Check out the tour route and elevation profiles at

http://www.ridetherockies.com/default.asp?page=route

Wish me luck. I'm going to need a lot of it. This is going to be as hard as Self sticking to a new diet.

Inees for Mayor (of Durban)



He rules the city man and whatay loulee city! Full pull - be it Indian restaurant or uShaka marine world - he rocked the show. We did off hajaar things over 4 days of the easter weekend.

Gambling in a casino, drinks at a jazz bar on a wharf overlooking the Durban port, sooper Indian grub at Palki, saying hello to a pride of lions just 2 feet away from our cars, breathtaking drive along the Drakensberg mountain range, full dirt quad-biking at Sani Pass in Underberg, sexy home cooked lunch courtesy Mrs. S, shark diving at uShaka Marine world - in a tank full of ragged tooth sharks (that's our man and his better half up there), snorkeling in a pond filled with over 400 species of fish and one sand shark - one with the fish...one with the fish..., dolphin show, clubbing at Stones, amazing breakfast at Fortunes and Zaks, chill-out on the beach with beer and ice-cream for breakfast.

It was a total rich. All I can say is, Inees for mayor - him da man!

Why's there no Moon?

In a rather disturbing development, there aint been no moon in Chennai for 10 days now. And its new moon day only today!

How do we know there's no moon? Well, we haven't seen one. Inspite of our best efforts to locate our celestial companion.

What can we do? To ensure that the moon's OK, anybody in any part of the world, who sights the moon in the next day or two (after the new moon day), please report. Then we'll know whether the problem is confined to Chennai or not.

After that what we'll do, I dont know. Hopefully the moon will surface by then.

Man marries Goat

Gross... but it was too funny, I couldn't resist.


"A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife".

Mr Alifi, Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat.

"When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up".

Village elders ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay dowry for the goat, because he had used it as his wife.

"We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said. "

"life is shabby without you baby, gundello gubba gubba"

I have spotted the song that will, if not surpass at least be a worthy contender to "If you come today (the tick tick tick tick tick tick song)" :)

The title of this song is "life is shabby without you baby, gundello gubba gubba"! It's from the 1986 Telugu movie 'Padamati Sandhya Ragam' and has world-famous drummer Sivamani doing the honours on screen, with SPB as music director and playback singer. Here are some links about the movie/song:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251919/
http://www.telugucinema.com/c/stars/Jandhyala_Songs.shtml

I haven't been able to get the video although there were a couple of links .rm and BitTorrent files of the whole movie.

Whoever finds the video/audio gets 100/50 Bikang points! Happy Hunting!

Company Policy

As an over worked employee, I know...

Dress Code
It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

Sick Days
We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work. Personal Days Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.

Bereavement Leave
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.

Toilet Use
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, and
alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "Chronic Offenders category". Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company's mental health policy.

Lunch Break
Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.

Nonbass Returns

People! Finally, (like really finally) just a few hours before I land in Chennai, I thought I'll put up at least one post in this magnificent blog. It's provided me hours of entertainment, and sadly the only contribution I've made is change my blog name (It's a long story.I'll tell you later.)

The title sounds like it's a really bad sequel to a superhero movie, but hey, you get the point. I'm back in India for 5 weeks, 4 of which will be spent in Chennai. Couple of weddings to attend, family reunion, catching up with friends, and of course, severe partying with copious quantities of everything. For you guys, this'll probably be like an extended version of your average weekend. For me, it's a much needed holiday.

I don't have any of your numbers, so I'll just land up at Studio on Thursday, bald head and all. And the fun and games will begin. Looking forward to seeing you all.

Oh, btw, I'm typing this in Singapore, at the airport. This is now truly a global blogal...

Rest in Peace, Ola....

In a legal argument by Senator George Graham Vest:

"The best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most.

A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its clouds upon our heads. The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.

Gentlemen of the jury, a man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side.

He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.

If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies, and when the last scene of all comes and death takes the master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death."

Loom - Miles_Gurtu

I got to hear the song 'Loom' from the album 'Miles_Gurtu' by Robert Miles and Trilok Gurtu with Jon Thorne on Bass. I have been repeatedly playing this song non-stop for 2 days now! Haven't done that since '1-2 Beaucoup' from Glimpse by Trilok Gurtu.

Exhilarating!

BangalorePotHole

Maybe we should start a chennaipothole.com and run a competition between the two. My guess is that Bangalore will win hands down.

World Heritage Tour

www.world-heritage-tour.org/asia/in/map.html

This was started by Tito Dupret, a Belgian, after he learnt about the destruction of the Buddha statues at Bamiyan by the Taliban. Those were the tallest Buddha statues in the world.

The objective of the site is to create a virtual record of all UNESCO World Heritage sites for all posterity to witness and enjoy. Can't help but support it.

Online Media Repository - Free and Unlimited

www.ourmedia.org

Maybe 'Bikang Cup Trophy' could have an international debut here?!

How can one play/convert MPEG-4 files?

www.archive.org/

Long live the Public Domain!

I've downloaded a couple of movies, in MPEG-4 format, from the Internet Archive. Does anyone know of a video player or plugin that will play/conver .mp4 files?
