“Dave Molotov invented the frisbee.”
Well, thank goodness for his brother Frank then…
It’s always the most dangerous things that are the prettiest, isn’t it?
Ebola virus is a good case in point, and I wouldn’t throw a bottle of that at a wall either.
Having apparently survived the ridiculous Justin Harrison’s ridiculous calls for a boycott against it, Woolworths in South Africa now finds itself having to counter allegations regarding the contents of its pre-prepared fruit salads.
Some unnamed individuals have suggested that the list of ingredients as “fruit” is vague and requires clarification. Perhaps mindful of their tardy addressing of the previous issues, Woolies has this time been quick to respond:
Yes, in a fruit salad related revelation probably only equal to that of their previous fruit salad revelation, it seems that Woolworths’ Seasonal Berry Mix includes Berries. (Probably seasonal ones.)
Who knew?
I know about this. I think most of us know about this. But do we actually heed the warnings?
The (current) top comment is worth a mention too: This information wasn’t gained through any hacking – it was all freely available information voluntarily provided by the individuals concerned.
So what have you shared that you maybe shouldn’t have done?
Boerestep.
Because we’ve been incredibly naughty and deserve all sorts of punishment, it could just be the next big thing.
You thought it was bad when Kurt Darren threw his now infamous Dans Treffer “Kaptein (span die seile)” at us. And you were right, because it was. If you have somehow managed to avoid this phenomenon thus far, well done, but prepare to join the “what has been heard cannot be unheard” club right here and now with the no expense spent official video:
Now, the musical genius of DJ Naaldekoker (that’s DJ Dragonfly to us rooineks), has taken arguably Kurt’s most irritating famous work and set it to a dubstep beat, thus creating the genre which will be henceforth known as Boerestep.

If this catches on – and with the current success of anything and everything dubstep, together with the continued, bewildering popularity of Afrikaans pop, I have absolutely no doubt that it might – we could be on the verge of the biggest thing to hit South African music since Craig Hinds et al released Indigo Girl, which was, quite literally, a Watershed moment.
Please forward any further examples of Boerestep to us here at 6000 miles… and we will keep the population abreast and forewarned of the advancing menace of the genre.
Prizes may be given for the best (worst) examples.
Don’t even ask how I stumbled upon this little invention (and no, that wasn’t a hint).
Behold the Brown Corporation Portable Cardboard Eco-Friendly Toilet – or ‘The Shitbox’ for short.
For your money, you get a reusable flatpack cardboard toilet, 10 biodegradable poo bags, tissues and a duffel carrier bag. There’s even a YouTube video showing a man called Richard assembling and demonstrating it (no, he doesn’t actually use it).
It’s brilliantly simple and although I’ve thankfully never seen one of these in use, I have experienced the toilets at Glastonbury on the Sunday and I can safely say that this would be a much preferable option.
I’m sure that there’s a huge market for these in the outdoorsy South African lifestyle. Who’s going to be the first to get them over here and make millions? If it’s you, please remember me when you do.
Thank you for reading. Now wash your hands.
