who ate the BK fish?

well i did talk about girls in an earlier post, so let's talk about guys now. no, this is not a momentous "coming out of the closet" entry. there is no closet, and i am not in any closet. nonetheless, it does make an interesting topic. boys i mean. not closets.

originally i wanted to talk about blogging, but a certain leprechaun by the name of christine decided that boys would be a better topic. and right about now, i'm anticipating a broken nose =]

as we all should know by now, the sexiest guy alive list came out recently, and well matt damon won it by a mile. aside from the usual complaints of "why am i not on the list!", and "why didnt i win it?!!?", which naturally stemmed from a myopic voting populace and a bias system in general, i thought the list was ok. but honestly, how does one judge and evaluate sexuality? i doubt women even have an inkling individually, much less reach a cohesive agreement amongst themselves.

it's the ultimate paradox. they want someone mysterious (elmer fudd of warner bros fame), someone charming (see Imran, Muhd), someone strong (see Tan, Denys), and basically fulfill that Jake Ryan figure that every woman lusts after. But in reality, they want that cushy guy who will shop with them, who will listen to their feelings, spout cheesy nothings and serve that ever illusive 'breakfast in bed'. now that my friends, are really high expectations and mind you, we just can't live up to all of them.

we are who we are, and you gotta live with or leave it all behind. live with it preferably.

you know what? women should have that personal checklist, and make it public. that way-- when we make an application-- we can have a rough estimate if we can make the grade (the male ego is definitely a wonderful thing) and move on! now wouldnt that be much easier!

it would of course make courtship as interesting as my facebook profile page, but hey it would make things so much easier for us martians! direct, and simple. plus, it would serve to solve one out of two of the world's greatest mysteries. the other of course, is to figure out why gurmit singh and adrian pang are appearing on every god damn show on channel 5.

p.s. they call it being 'devilishly charming', and i know you know it to be true =]

the zoo!

now come on, who doesnt like the zoo? the mandatory excursion for all eager 6 yr olds across the nation that rivals the memories of BCG shots in primary 6 and national service for all eager 6 yr old males across the nation. in fact, to rekindle the fond memories i had of sheba the polar bear and ah meng the ferocious teetotaller of a chihuahua, i revisited the revered cages of the mandai zoological gardens. and boy did that take time =]

at any rate, i actually enjoyed myself there. however, there was this one curious little incident (attempts to look seductive with a spoon aside) that took my eye and has amused me till now. and that moment ladies and gentlemen can be summed up by the following picture:

out of all the animals that needed a wash in the zoo-- for example the white rhino, that has ceased to live up to its sterling name-- the lifeless ben and jerry's cow instead got the nod for a good scrub. don't get me wrong, i have nothing against the good fellows of bnj, in fact i quite enjoy their fare (especially cherry garcia), and i'm all for washing paper mache cows, but you gotta admit this is quite amusing.

not only that, it took TWO good fellows of bnj to wash our dear cow.

i actually had half a mind to send this picture to Stomp!, but looking at the entire set- up they have there and the engaging intellectual discussions they have, i'm afraid they might just launch a tirade against the cow for not licking itself clean or against the good people of bnj for wearing blue (trust me much worse has happened on that site).

But i digress.

By the way good folks, this is our good friend Sheba. She's not lazy (i'm assuming it's a she), she's just fed- up that she keeps doing the same thing and doesnt get paid what she deserves. much like our writer friends over at NBC.



imagine trying to wash this cupcake eh friends at ben and jerry's!



anyway, now it's your turn to blog good people =]
