Twaddle Me This, Twaddle Me That!

Bowling Update
Sunday’s date with destiny. I bowled 3 games, and yielded an average of 142 for 2006. I scored 155, 164 and 119. My bowling average is on the rise - return to normalcy. Hoping to breach 170 in 2 months. I’m glad that my Irish “half-brother” is over here in Malaysia as he is a ball-to-gutter junkie like I am. LOL! I’ve signed up at the Midvalley’s Cosmic Bowl as a member. Looking forward to more bowling junkets for the year. OLE!

An Irish Jocosity
Well, I gotta spend a little time dredging up this good friend of mine, who share interchangeable hobbies in terms of music (RETRO), movies and having a ball! Brad (name changed to conceal identity) worked in Malaysia for 2 years and then harked back to Birmingham for a couple of years. His awayness was a big loss to us all, especially to me since I got along really well with the geezer. He’s back now (transferred) and is expected to be lallygagging for another 2 years at least. Caution: Great fun ahead!  

Liverpool Rooters
Liverpool FC certainly do not have the brightest of supporters in the world. They have the most arrogant supporters in the world, and are now quietly hibernating due to Liverpool’s destitute league run after God-knows-how-many-years. Yesterday’s defeat at the hands of Man Utd was a bittersweet pill for me to swallow. Bitter to see Liverpool falling behind, but sweet to see the look on their arrogant bunch of fans. Haha! Well done Manure.

Arses Up in Smoke
Arsenal’s season is turning out to be in shambles. If Liverpool had the same run, they’d probably declare a holiday by now! LOL! The Gunners are victims of their own success. We should be solid once again in the long haul, now that the new stadium will be raising its curtains next season, and that would mean more inflow of moolah to swank on a couple of big signings. Arsenal may not be the most successful team in England, but they are surely the most entertaining team in recent times! I’ve supported them since 1990. Also support German (1990), Inter Milan (1991), Bayern Munich (1993).

Bourbon vs Whiskey
The old disputation, or simply a case of mistaken indistinguishability. Not many people know that all bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. Jack Daniel’s is WHISKEY and not BOURBON for crying out loud. And, Canadians and Scots spell it “whisky” and the Irish spell it “whiskey.” Bourbon is whiskey distilled from a fermented mash containing not less than 51 percent corn in addition to malt and rye. Whiskey is distilled liquor, made from the starchy materials of various grains. Bet you’re feeling a little smarter right now huh? Jim Beam (Benson & Hedges equivalent of alcohol) is an example of a bourbon.

The Last Laugh
He who gets the girls laughs last. It’s great to think that BON JOVI, one of the few bands still standing strong and rocking the world til today, commands a global audience that has scarcely atrophied since it first struck major paydirt! The band’s current tour, HAVE A NICE DAY, is on target to be the band’s most successful ever tour! At the height of grunge, they dangled the typically meat-and-potatoes Keep the Faith and sold 12 million copies, more than Nirvana’s Nevermind. At the heart of it all, even the most misanthropical music critic must acknowledge that Bon Jovi composes topnotch rock songs. The songs are undeniably beguiling; once heard, they will replay forever in your head.

Finger Food
Have you heard of the latest cockamamy story that 2 boneheaded Americans attempted to bring home the bacon against Wendy’s fastfood chain? The chili finger duo who placed a human finger in a bowl of chili at a Wendy’s in an attempt to seek an insurance settlement from the fast food chain got hefty prison sentences for their extortion attempt. Anna Ayala, 40, who claimed that she bit into the finger, will serve 9 years while her husband, Jaime Plascencia, 44, will serve more than 12 years. Well, at least we learned one thing from this debacle, that fingering doesn’t pay! LOL!

When the world gets in my face, I say, HAVE A NICE DAY!
