A Very Short Post

I have a love-hate relationship with these short weeks. On the love side I really did getting an extra day off which is really great, but on the hate side it means just as much work has to be done just in less time. Add to that the fact that a large proportion of my frustration at work centers around dealing with the effects of public holidays and also add the fact that there are fewer people in the office on a day like today with more work flowing my way and I think the hate side pip love to the post by a hair.

Anyway, I just wanted to punch out a quick reminder about the Bushism contest. Get your entries in by the time I get to work on Tuesday and you could win a R100 gift certificate for you favorite multimedia outlet. See the sidebar for details.

That Antarctic hit is still not showing up in the damn mappy thingy.

And because I love to bring you news of the bizaar, check out here how David Copperfied used his magical powers to avoid a mugging and nab the crooks.

Happy Birthday Mr Meltdown

As Zenstar already pointed out in his hawsome blog, today is the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl incident, but I already knew that. Earlier today I was lucky enough to witness a protest march organised by Earthlife Africa. It was a rather comical to see a bunch of hippies, with absolutely no understanding of the actual science involved campaigning, to stop a new nuclear reactor planned by Eskom. Their placards (not Picards) were emblazoned with slogans like “Remember Chernobyl” and “3,5 million are still suffering”. That reminded me of an article about how well mother nature had recovered from the incident and that the area is now thriving due to the lack of human interference. Admittedly the article did come out of the ex-world champion propaganda state, they are now totally out-matched by the Bush administration.

The hippies are so amusing, yet all fanatics are dangerous. I have no idea how they arrived at the 3,5 million number, but even Green Peace only estimates that 270 000 cases of cancer will have been caused worldwide by the incident, of which 93 000 will prove fatal. Yet people still believe the erroneously scary numbers and are galvanized against the most efficient form energy known to man. At the extreme of this alternative kind of thinking you’ll find people who can justify sabotaging a reactor to cause an incident in order to prove that it can be dangerous. Hell yeah the stuff is dangerous, but it’s not particularly difficult to take measures that mitigate most of the risk. If these freaks were opposed to a reactor because they felt that South Africans were too incompetent to reliably manage one I might start to listen. If they claimed that the local industry to too incompetent but put forward a plan to rectify the situation I’d even go as far as saying that they were doing a good thing. However merely protesting for the sake of creating hysteria is very dangerous.

By the way, sabotage has nothing to do with French workers throwing their wooden shoes into the machines, Data had it wrong.

I promise we’ll return to our regular format soon.

My Excuse

Andrian, my cat, also known as Andy, Bowsie, Porridge, the child and the C, had to be taken to the vet yesterday. He was limping and it turns out his whole leg is badly swollen and he’s got a fever. I’m sure everything is going to turn out fine in the end but I’m actually quite worried. I hate it when he’s not feeling well because there’s no way for him to let me know and when I do notice something amiss I wonder how long it’s been like that and he’s just had to suffer with it. At least I can simply pop myself off to the doctor.

Taking him to the vet is a mission in itself. You see we’re not allowed to have pets in flats where I live the body corporate is very strict, no animals in the building at all. So I have to hide “The C” every time we have to visit the animal doctor. This process involves sticking him in a cat box, then into a ridiculously oversized cardboard box and stuffing it with towels to muffle any noise that he does make. The I have to carry this huge, but insanely light box to the car. About five blocks away from the flat I take the cat carrier out of the big box and drive with him on the passenger seat to the vet. The whole process is repeated in reverse to get him back in, I don’t actually walk backwards though. Needless to say it’s quite stressful, more on Elisabeth and I than on him though.

Anyway Andy is at the vet again today and hence the short post, I’ll be back tomorrow with more content.

But while we’re talking about the Blog Contest. Ok we weren’t but anyway. It appears that I made a small mistake by putting the wrong closing date in the sidebar. Well because I want to be fair to everyone I’ll keep it that way. You now have until Sunday the 30th to get your Bushism translations in, I’ve had two entries so far but you still have a decent chance.

Also, if you read the comments you’ll see that I’ve had a visitor from the Antarctic wastes. That completes my collection of visitors from every single continent on earth in one month. Unfortunately it seems that the ip address for the Amundsen-Scott Station is not actually registered in the Antarctic or ClusterMaps doesn’t cater for displaying Antarctic hits. So no little red blip for me, but I had the visitor, thanks Blur.

Wow, it’s been a bumper month for hits. I’ve gotten hits from six of the seven continents, but I’m working on getting one from that pesky cold one in the south. If anyone in Antarctica is reading this blog, thanks, my badgering has worked.

COMMENT

Yesterday I received a comment from Q.N.I.T.Y about the Brett Goldin. Here it is:

“Does anyone really care about Brett Goldin apart from his friends in the media. Funny thing is that on the same weekend that him and his friend were hijacked…four black men were killed in Nyanga not far from where Goldin and Bloom were killed…I saw a small news report but there weren’t any calls for a return to the death penalty for their killers. Makes you think doesn’t it?”

Well dude, here’s the thing. Brett was a really funny dude and somebody who’d managed to do quite well for himself in the extremely small and tough South African entertainment industry. The fact that he’d achieved some small degree of fame doesn’t make his story any more important than the multitude of other atrocities committed in South Africa every day, it simply makes it more newsworthy. Newsworthiness is based almost entirely on how many newspapers the story will sell, or how many people will tune into the television news to see it. Remember that the people running your information outlets are in it for the money, not the greater good of mankind, and just so that we’re clear on this issue: there’s nothing wrong with that. Brett’s story is getting more coverage than the guys in Nyanga because, hell, that’s a routine event. It’s really sad to say this but that kind of shit happens all the time, everyone is totally desensatised to it, while the execution style murder of two rich white guys doesn’t happen every day.

Is it sad that four people having been beaten to death is not that surprising? Yes of course it is, but while our judicial system does nothing to stop this kind of violence it will continue to happen. One of the reasons people continue to commit violent crime is that there is simply no threat of consequence, ever hear of the Ring of Gyges. This goes beyond there not being a death penalty and speaks to various issues on law enforcement and the lack thereof, but lack of adequate punishment is one of the key factors. Personally I feel that all senseless acts of violence should be very strongly punished. And, if you read my blog, I really didn’t advocate the death penalty at all, it’s way too easy. Put them in high security prisons and force them to do hard labor, no work no food. The excuse often given for lack of any serious prison time is overcrowding, this is also the reason that every year hundreds of prisoners are released before they’ve served their full sentence. Put them in a fucking hole and make them mine highly radioactive substances, have you seen ‘The Fortress’?

[ed note: the term "fucking hole" is ambiguous, in this case it means a hole in the mother fucking ground. Although once they get there I'm sure they'll experience loads of the other kind too]

But Q.N.I.T.Y, saying that Brett Goldin is somehow less important than all the others and that people should be less sympathetic simply because he’s getting more news coverage than something which has become almost a routine event is ludicrous. What happened to Brett and his friend was horrible and I feel sick to my stomach that shit like this happens.

Basically it boils down to this: don’t make assumptions about how people feel and, if you truly don’t care about what happened to Brett and Richard I submit that the problem lies with you.

IN THE NEWS

Here is a smattering of stories I thought some people out there might find INTERESTING.

A farmer is stunned after a chicken apparently had a spontaneous sex change.

Be careful when planning your next cell phone upgrade, you may just have to get a TV license for it.

This old dude in Florida (is that tautology?) went door to door around his local area telling people he was from the local hospital and offering free breast exams. He got caught when he tried to up the ante and move to genital exams.

CONTEST UPDATE

For most of you this will be the last opportunity for you to enter the contest. Entries close when I get into work on monday at around 9am. See the sidebar for details.

MOVIE I WATCHED RECENTLY

The third and final movie I caught over the easter weekend was ‘Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang’, it was so cool. It’s a really original take on the old private detective genre, not a lot of action, a little predictable but really fun to watch. Val Kilmer and Robber Downey Jr give really great performances, also there’s a bit of eye candy in the form of Michelle Monaghan. It was really enjoyable and while not a “Must See” an entertaining diversion, and what more can you really ask for.

that’s it, schpat out.

Almost Home Time

I hate finding a way to introduce my blog entries. There I’ve done it. Onto the content.

Last night I took part in a 45 player poker tournament on PokerStars, and finished third. This was despite going down to T$235 in the second level on a really crappy suck out. If you’re interested you can read about that hand later, if not then just skip that section.

I think I played well in that game eventually going out by taking my AQ up against AK in third for a 600% profit.

Remember that poker is happening in the Kramer Quad on middle campus UCT on saturday at around 12:00. Also there’s going to be a R35 satellite the R10 000 tournament next week, I’m definitely going to be playing in that.

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED AT THE OFFICE

Yes, this time it wasn’t a bottle of granadilla juice that set off a chain of hilarious events, but a crap excel spread sheet with word puzzles claiming to be MENSA test. The puzzles took the form of “26 L of the A” with a solution of “26 letters of the alphabet”. It was sent to everyone is my department by this guy who regularly send out crap emails about things like flesh eating banana bugs or weird coincidences that prove the universe is connected in strange and unbelievable ways or even amazing pictures of unlikely real life situations. These kind of emails generally just irritate me and sending back pages from Snopes and telling him to check his sources before sending this crap out.

Not being very good with these kind of word games I cheated a bit, broke the very simple protection on the spread sheet and found the hidden answers. In short order I copied and pasted all the correct answers into the spread sheet and mailed it back. Apparently getting more that 19 of the 30 correct indicated a genius level IQ, so I renamed the file “Imagenius.xls”. This all took about five minutes and everybody in on the joke, three people, had a great laugh while this guy sat totally amazed, checking that I’d actually gotten them all right.

Fucking Hilarious

NEWS

There’s no news today, this post is being written really late and I’ve got to go somewhere. Q.N.I.T.Y has made an interesting comment about the Brent Goldin shooting. I promise I’ll have something to say about it tomorrow, I just don’t have enough time right now.

CONTEST

Well, You’ve still got until Sunday to get your Bushism translations to me. Mail them to schpat@gmail.com and you could stand a chance of winning a R100 Gift Certificate.

THAT POKER HAND

Blinds were T$15/T$30, my chip stack was T$1275, I was in Late Position and dealt AKo. The player directly after the BB (mdartist) called for T$30 and it was folded to me. I put in a 1xBB raise and made it $60 to go. The SB and BB both call. The flop is

3d 3s Ts

The action is checked to me and being the last one to act I stick in a half pot sized bet of T$120. The reason I do this because I know that the flop has not made anybodies hand. If it had they would have bet, they’re not just going to leave a flush draw sitting on the table to suck out on their pair of T’s, set of 3’s, set of T’s. The only hand that they would not have minded getting drawn out on was quad 3’s and the with the likelihood of that, they deserve to get paid. The SB and BB fold but mdartist senses a little weakness in the smallish bet and pushes his entire stack of T$830. Now in this guy had been in almost every hand since the beginning, only winning one of the in a showdown and in the last three hands he’s pushed all in twice to steal the blinds on the flop. I decided to call him.

He shows 58o, I mean who the fuck shoves their entire hand on 58o with a flop like that and an aggressive bettor. He has no chance of having the high card so he’s obviously hoping to make a pair which is a 7.5:1 shot with one card to come and 3:1 with two to come. Even with a 3:1 shot his pot odds where 0.7:1 and implied odds where 2.7:1, that’s what he would have got if I’d called. Now if you’re playing the odds you make sure that there is an overlay, your pot or implied odds must be greater than your chance of making a hand. Now I didn’t work all those stats out in my head then, I just put them together now to show how bad a decision this guy made, he was obviously either gambling or, more likely, trying to make me fold. I suspected as much and that’s why I called his bet, I had the better hand and my chances of winning were 75%, it was a good play. That’s why it’s even more frustrating when the turn came up a 5 and my hand didn’t improve on the river. All In Arse Monkey sucked me out.

Well the very next hand I was dealt AKs and pushed, got two callers, including mdartist, and tripled up. I sat out a hand and was then dealt KK, I pushed on the flop and got 3 callers, again including mdartist. Woot Quadrupled my money. Two Hands later mdartist when out when his A6o whent up against AKs, it’s just a pitty it wasn’t me that took him out. That’s what you get for being an AIAR!

Like I said I ended up third in the tournament and won $7 for a $6 profit, rock.

A MOVIE I WATCHED RECENTLY

The second movie I watched over easter was ‘Monty Python’s Holy Grail’. I know a lot of people are going to hate me for this, but I really didn’t enjoy it that much. I’ve seen it about five times before, so the silliness was just silly and not really all that funny. Even the Witch = Duck didn’t crack a smile. If you haven’t seen this one, go rent it, otherwise it’s not much funnier the second time round. I’d far rather recommend you get ‘The Life of Brian’ or ‘The Meaning of Life’. In case you’re wondering ‘The Meaning of Life’ is the better of the two.

That’s about it for me
