The Lone Ranger has horse trouble

The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar and sat down to drink a beer. After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said “Who owns the big white horse outside?”

The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gun belt, and said, “I do…Why?” The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, “I just thought you’d like to know that your horse is about dead outside!”

The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and sure enough Silver was ready to die from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got the horse water and soon Silver was starting to feel a little better.

The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, “Tonto, I want you to run around Silver and see if you can create enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better.”

Tonto said, “Sure, Kemosabe” and took off running circles around Silver.
Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the bar to finish his drink.

A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the bar and asks, “Who owns that big white horse outside?”

The Lone Ranger stands again, and claims, “I do, what’s wrong with him this time?” The cowboy looks him in the eye and says,

“Nothing, but you left your Injun runnin’.”

Doggy Style and other heated problems

A little girl asks her mum, 'Mum, can I take the dog for a walk around the block?'Her mum replies 'No, because she is on heat.''What does that mean?' asked the child.'Go and ask your father. I think he's in the garage.

'The little girl goes out to the garage and says, 'Dad, can I take Lulu for a walk around the block? I asked Mum, but she said the dog was on the heat, and to come ask you.'He took a rag, soaked it in petrol, and scrubbed the dog's backside with it to disguise the scent, and said 'Ok, you can go now, but keep Lulu on the leash and only go one time around the block.

'The little girl left and returned a few minutes later with no dog on the leash..Surprised, Dad asked, 'Where's Lulu?'You'll love this!!!!!!!!!)...............The little girl said, 'She ran out of petrol about halfway round the block, so another dog is pushing her home.

Whats the fuss with crocs?

I was reading this article by Sarah Britten and it amused me mainly because it is so true. However i love my crocs because they so darn comfortable but anyway get a look at her article on Thought Leader follow the link below
http://www.thoughtleader.co.za/sarahbritten/2011/08/29 or read it below 

Over the weekend, I did something completely out of character. I bought a pair of Crocs. Yes, really. I don’t care if you unfollow me or stop reading this blog. It’s best you know the truth: I spotted them in the shoe shop near my gym, and my mother has a pair and swears by them, and one thing led to another.

In my defence, they don’t actually look like Crocs. But as one of my Facebook friends pointed out, I’ll know that they are Crocs, and that’s what counts.

Ah yes, the comments. The tweets. The cries of Nooooooooo it can’t be true. I could have announced I was running off to join the Scientologists or having Julius Malema’s love child, or both, and I’d have got less of a reaction.
“I may have to reevaluate the friendship.”
“Shame on you. Tsk tsk.”
“Times like this need a thumbs down/ don’t like button.”
“C’mon Sarah! You are a role mode. Say it ain’t so.”

Only one was supportive: “thumbs up for you Sarah. It’s about time you Joburg jollers realized that life is not all about one-upmanship or about being fashionable.”

I should not have been surprised. Globally Crocs code for lack of taste or insight. According to this new movie, if you wear Crocs you’re a dopey hippie type, “because dopey hippie types wear Crocs”. (Just like Saabs used to code for well-heeled bohemians and Prius for vegan Obama-voters.)

A quick perusal of Croc-related fan pages and the number of fans each boasts is revealing:

I’m fascinated by this. Why is it that Crocs should arouse such ridiculously over the top animosity? It’s almost tribal. If love of Apple is a powerful marker of identity, so is hatred of Crocs. It’s become a form of metahatred: you want to be seen to hate something, but it’s all posturing. Your hatred has no actual emotional content; it’s just an empty shell within which to package particular cultural signifiers. Roland Barthes would have loved it.

Crocs, as it turned out, were invented in Canada - and not just Canada, but French-speaking Canada. Perhaps that explains everything. In any event, three friends - Scott Seamans, Lyndon “Duke” Hanson, and George Boedecker – bought a design from a Quebec company called Foam Creations, sold it at the Fort Lauderdale boat show in 2002, and the rest is history. The holding company is now listed on the Nasdaq and is worth over $2,3 billion. Not bad for ugly shoes that everyone loves to hate.

I can’t wait to wear mine, although I do plan to take precautions, and have a T-shirt made. It’ll read: “I can wear Crocs if I wear them ironically.” I’ll wear it to the Loeries next month (oh yes, the Crocs are going to Cape Town with me), and the hipsters on Long Street will see it and run screaming, clutching their now pathetically mainstream but still inexplicably cool trilbies to their delicately coiffed heads.
I should have bought Crocs years ago.

You go Sarah you go girl comfort beats style in the long run

Mermaid - Daryl Hannah arrested at sit in

Hows this for a 50 year old Mermaid

 The actress, 50, was handcuffed and led away following a sit-in calling on US President Barack Obama to axe plans for a controversial oil pipeline. Hannah — who also appeared in blockbuster films Splash and Wall Street — was the first person to be nicked during the protest in Washington DC. It came after Hannah refused police orders to move

 Hannah was among a large group of environmentalists who are furious over the proposed 1,677-mile Keystone XL pipeline. Before her arrest she warned Obama he could be voted out if he did not scrap it.She said: "He needs to just make the right decision. If he doesn't make that right decision, I'm sure we will see huge effects in the next election."

 The Keystone XL pipeline would carry as much as 900,000 barrels of crude oil a day from Canada to the US Gulf Coast in Texas. Environmental groups say the pipeline should be stopped because it could pose a threat to ecologically sensitive areas along the planned route. Hannah said: "We want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future." The oil line's supporters argue is vital to America's energy security and say it would create thousands of jobs at a time when the US economy is foundering.

Well she made quite a Splash
