eish joe...
Bob and Fred are walking by a 7-Eleven, as Bob turns to Fred and says,
"I dare you to take off your clothes, go into the store, buy two candy
bars, and come back outside to get your clothes!" Fred then asks,
"What's in it for me?" Bob exclaims, "I'll give you $200!" "Okay",
Fred replied. So Fred strips down to nothing, walks into the store,
buys the two candy bars, and exits the store. When he get outside he
noticed that Bob was gone with his clothes. Freaking out, he notices
three nuns walking by, so he freezes with his hands pressed to his chest,
one candy bar in each hand. The three nuns walk over to him. "Ah, a vending
machine!", the first nun says. So she puts two quarters in his mouth,
yanks on his dick, and gets a candy bar. "I want one too", the second nun
says.
So she puts two quarters in his mouth, yanks on his dick, and gets a candy
bar. The third nun, being a little impatient, says, "Let me through,
I might want one you know!" So the nuns step aside, as she puts two quarters
in his mouth, yanks on his dick, but doesn't get anything. So she continues
yanking and yanking and yanking. Giving up she says, "I may not have gotten
a candy bar, but I did get some nice hand lotion!"
some more...
There was a little boy playing in his front yard, and his grandpa was
sitting on the porch watching his grandson play. The grandfather saw the
little boy pull a worm out of the ground, so the grandfather went up to
his grandson and said, "Hey son, I'll give you five dollars if you
can stick that worm back into the hole you pulled it out of." The
little boy thought it would be easy enough so he tried. After a while the
boy was about to give up, but suddenly he ran inside and got a can of his
grandmothers hairspray. He sprayed it all over the worm and let it dry and
then he stuck it back into the hole. The grandpa said, "Well, boy that's a
neat trick, here's your five dollars." The next day the little boy was
playing again and the grandfather came up to him and handed him another
five dollars. The little boy said, "What is this for?" The grandfather
said, " Your grandmother thought it was a neat trick too!"

W-R-O-N-G
watch this space for the bomdigiest shit to hit your eardrums...
straight from the muthacity - GUGULETU to be exact..
rage is still the only site to bring on the ruckus regarding the most
current kwaito related info..
y magazine, premier street culture communication print medium, has no
editor... so if you think you got what it takes... giveitatry joe
now that the whole FIASCO and CHOMIYABANA frenzy is over... NEXT!
dj mzura, the only kwaito deejay in cape town, has decided to give up
deejaying... vinyl is becoming too expensive... and nobody's booking
kwaito deejays nowadays.. serious!!
**************************************************

i got one chiskop vinyl to give away... to anybody who's a deejay in
durban.. if you know any durban deejays who play kwaito... hook me up.
what is bad boy tee's ugly ass doing on WOZA WEEKEND... those sabc fools
are running out of creativity and innovativeness.. did they not learn
their lesson with claire mawisa and vusi twala?
according to sources deejaying is an underdeveloped culture in durban...
they say cats would play for R50 just to get inside a club.. shame..
and one single on vinyl costs about R70..
do you think that romeo khumalo should leave ben dikobe in the 3 to 6 slot?
