Jhb Blog-meet
I commented on KC's blog but thought about putting up a post... well more like an unofficial poll.
Who would be keen on a Jhb blog-meet?
We can arrange to do it when some of our fellow CT/Durbs/rest of the country bloggers (the Kalula.com frequent flyers) are up in Jhb or even when Ramon is in Jhb (you are gonna be in Jhb, right Ramon?). Im sure a few people would love to meet Ramon, me included, but not sure if Ramon would love to meet a few people.
Maybe an indication will help and if there are enough people who would be keen, we can arrange something. Also would the CT/other people indicate when they are going to be in Jhb next. Fluts, if you lurking... that includes you chica.
I think it would be safe to assume the following.......
Yes - me, Noss, Allycat, KC
No - Dex
Dex, if you change your mind and want to show off your tatoo, PLEASE vote yes

Dear God people....look
I only hope that if you do this bloggers free for all thing, you keep it to a degree, by invitation only....and that means that e-mail is used to communicate venue, date, time, etc.....I'm not gonna go into the ins and outs as to why I recommend this option - needless to say, I strongly recommend it.
Arbie
Absolutely. I know where you are coming from and dont worry, it will be done just that way. Thanx for the heads up.
If you are serious, let me know.
I still haven't bought a ticket.
I'll need a ride from the airport, approximately 5 nights accommodation (party drinks included - hey, I'm building a house and I promise only to drink Tas - Deks, you still have that stash in the garage, man. Well, stock up), and a ride back to the airport.
Christ, this actually sounds like a good idea.
I can go to CT a bit later, meet up with some more blog people, go to the wedding, see Morts, Dolce, Flutter, and them all,
and fly back home (hopefully in one piece)!
Ramon
I actually think you would be the deal clincher. I think I should look at charging... 'Meet the famous Ramon. Only R150 a person' Hmmmmm.... we'll use the money to get you accommodation and drinks for your 5 days here.....
Semi, I must tell you, 'the famous Ramon thing'
is a bit much for me.
I just want to see you before you die, you know...
Ok so no famous Ramon thing
But I know Noss is also very keen on meeting you, as am I.
It will just be a blog meet.
I thought we'd agreed about ages ago, Semi.
Jeezus.
Relax.

Now go marinate daai steak en sit die fokken wors innie oond, want Papa kom huis toe!
Ramon
Papa kan sy eie fokken steak and wors maak met daai vaardigheid (dont know if that is the right word - Im English remember... I was looking for attitude )
Vaardigheid, Deks.
Korrekte Afrikaans, dink ek?
Ja.
Mooi so, ou Semi.
Mooi woordgebruik.
Hoor?
Vaardigheid.
Pragtig.
Ek klap sommer hande vir jou.
Vaardigheid
werk ook! But she was looking for 'houding'.
Thanx Dex
*Note to self - vra vir Dex as daar 'n word is wat jy wil weet. Hy is 'n baie slim een.
Woord, Semi.
woord.
Ek word mal.
Ek leer 'n nuwe woord.
Sien?
Mooi.
Jammer Dex
Ek weet. Ek is baie jammer. Dit was 'n klein fout(jie). Regtig! Ek belowe!
Maar 'word' is 'WORD' in Engels.... sien? Maklik om 'n fout te maak.
Deks.
Jou sarkastiese hoer.
Ag Ramon
Its ok. I'll just stop speaking a language thats not my first. Not a big deal.
No, Semi.
Gaan aan soveel jy wil.
Dankie Ramon
I'll have to brush up on my Afrikaans skills and then I will. I'll go get myself one of those tweetaalige bookies and use that.
But I must admit, it is fun. One of my good friends is Afrikaans (my ex was also Afrikaans) and I sing to him some of the Afrikaans songs I know, yeah Kurt Darren included *gulp*. With my non-Afrikaans accent, he always laughs at me but not in a mean way. Its good fun. His point is, why does he always have to speak English to us non-Afrikaans speaking people. Why cant we speak Afrikaans to him? So in my really broken Afrikaans, I try. Kudo's for that!
EXACTLY, Semi
I feel the same way. And I LOVE it when people try the language, especially if they really struggle. And if I correct them, its not with any negative feelings - how are they gonna get better otherwise?
You keep at it, and if you don't want me to make any suggestions, just tell me and i won't. Just don't stop trying...
Thanx Dex
Nah, I dont actually mind you correcting me, because like you said, its the only way I will learn. My ex-bf used to piss me off though because he used to just laugh at me. So I didnt bother with him anymore. I do try with my friend though and he is always nice about it.
Ek sal probeer om te praat of skryf en as jy iets wil se, dan se dit.....
oh dear dexter...
i'm going to have to learn to speak the taal a bit more brokenly then... maybe soos in STUKKEND - soos in 'ek smaak jou...'
ah. good giggle to start the day. ta for that!
Ag, Mortylicious
You can read the instruction on a shampoo bottle to me and it will make me frisky as hell.
wet hair...
ooohh... yes morty...
apply small amount
AH YES... I like it baby....
thoroughly rinse hair
i'm... i'm.. c-c-c-cu...
silly boy!
you have the knack of making me laugh 'til my face hurts.
if it's a VDB'ijl shampoo ad - it ends this way:
"i'm... i'm.. c-c-c-co...mbing my hair in a saaid - paaidjie for you bokkie"
XXX
ha!
That would make a pretty good ad for Body on Tappet!
Ja Morts. Those saaidpaatjies. Your should see my school photos. Err no - should NOT see my school photos.
Parents are cruel, man. CRUEL.
Deal, Semi
and if I ever laugh, its just because broken afrikaans from a girl is so damn cute.
um.....Sems....trust me
he aint.
I trust you Arbie
and if you say he's not patronising me then I believe you.
Sems
made you look!
Arbie
Now I know why your kids turn their backs and fart at you! Jirre chick! Thought you were on my side here and that you were my friend. Pffttt
Ramon
Are you patronising me here?!?!?! You better not be if you know whats good for you Mister.
You have no idea, Semi!
You have no idea, Semi!
how desperately I would like to have had this conversation wiff you now. It could go anywhere.
And anywhere is big.
We don't all know that.
Ramon
The fun is increased Ramon when anywhere is big.
Thanx for the little Afrikaans comment. I can like to try to sometimes speak Afrikaans.
Ha! Ramon
I can see you squirm at the thought, buddy. Oiy vey. My thoughts exactly.
Dex
You just chicken!
We are serious Ramon
and we would love to meet you. Is it you and the family?
Well let me know if/when you plan to be in Jhb and we can make a plan. It will be great fun. I will help where ever I can.
Cool, Semi.
I'll book for JHB, then.
Frallie said she'll pick me up at the airport and give me a bed for a night (and a book). Of course I'll have to fart really loudly to make up for that...
Oh, Deks said him and I are going on a road trip through the Karoo for 3 days or so. You know, turn off here and there. Meet some people. Get wasted.
Ja.
Good.
OK.
I'm in.
Just gotta wait for this month's pay (if it'll be enough for a ticket, I don't know) and book for Jo'burg.
I've only been there once.
Ramon
I can also do the airport thing, maybe drop you off at the airport if she is picking you up (or even pick you up, I dont mind) and give you a place to stay for a night or two if you want. Just let me know.
Ok, now Im excited *loud shreek*
You can just give me dates when you here and I'll make all the other arrangements.
This is gonna be so much fun.
Semi
Just want to meet you!
Of course Semi
I would like to meet everyone else. So count me in...
I agree with Dex
nice back-step..... where did you learn to dance?
But cool.... count yourself counted.
Semi
The only dancing I will do for you, is the famous (or infamous depending on your perspective) horizontal dance...
TinCan
Nice backpedal, bru!
Dex
Firstly you may call me, TiNfish...
So how come admin guy can't make an appearance?
Nah seriosly, would be awesome to meet the famous dex and if you do decide to come, please Please leave the vaseline at home.
Ag TiNfish
It's nothing personal - I've just always felt that meeting the other bloggers would kinda ruin it for me. Maybe one or two I'll meet individually, but in any event - these group things just really aren't my scene.
Maybe one or two?
he's weakening. Suckafool!
Dex
Understand man, I met someone from another site and though we got on in the great blogosphere we realised that in reality we were two very different people.
So ja, just remember you owe me a klippies and cola at the dam with a few joints thrown in. Sometime.
And who are you kidding, you just want to meet the ladies. ( i see through you man)
Sure thing Tin
I'm good for it.
(Fuckin hell man - don't be blowing my cover like that)
If you play your cards right TiN
you just may meet me *shy smile*
Semi
I'm a few cards short of a full deck but I'm sure the ones i have, will be to your liking.
TiN
As long as you are not a few sandwiches short of a picnic basket I will be happy, because I am very hungry.
Semi
I promise you the entire buffet.
Throw in dessert
and you have a deal.
Alas Semi
you are the dessert. And I will Feast.
TiN
and its going to be a feast of the invited :)
Where's my invitation
Semi?
I'll send it to you via email TiN
all nice and purdy like... thats a private invitation to you only.
Aslam
You dirty old pervert, wud you like to meet for a drink sometime? I'll bring the entire tribe along. On which side of the mine-dumps do you live? Cant you make it to a meet (if we ever get one going that is)
i would love to come semi
but i live in slaapstad.
Thats a shame Aslam
Because Im sure we would have loved to have you along. Oh well... its all good.
no one has offered

Aslam

Aslam
That's fine. A double espresso, then?

Aslam
April. I'll let you know. Maybe meet with Dusty, too?
Citizen Semi-Sweet
You shall invite Vapour, and show him a good time, or YOU SHALL NOT MEET.
That is all.
King Adminguy
I have never said to Vapour he is not invited and I will definitely show him a good time. Infact, I'll show him anything he wants.
SO adminguy, you gonna be there? *sweet smile*
Good work, Citizen Semi.
Unfortunately I will not be able to attend.
I will be at Vap's house.
ahem.
Adminguy
Get back over here!! Where is the "Number of reads" thingy???
Meisie
jy moet fokken konsentreer!
KC asked that already. Kindly do not waste my time by asking the same question twice.
That is all.
Boytjie
JY moet fokken konsentreer!!! Waar is dit dan???Ek weet sy't al ure gelede gevra maar dis nog nie fokken reg nie!!
YOU, NOS
will wait patiently. I have a day-job, you know.
pffft.
Adminguy
After all that talk about Vapours jacuzzi, etc... I just had to read this twice... At first glance I thought you said...
'Im having a blow-job, you know'... phew!!!
Sems
Get your mind out of the gutter, girl!!! Or go get your little friend out the bottom drawer and head off to the loo for a few moments!!!
Thats rich Noss
You speak of oil and sweat and want me to get my mind out the gutter.... hmmm.....
Sems
I think we are on the same page today...but keep it down, will you??
Sweet Adminguy
I know. I was just pulling your leg.....I just CANNOT be mean no matter how hard I try.
Hey Fallen
Welcome. Are you new to blogging? Been here (or the old mark) before? Been blogging somewhere else?
Need a hand standing up?
Just holler. Make yourself comfortable.
Thanks semi....just hanging
Thanks semi....just hanging around getting the lay of the party before I dive in for the hunt.
Like a shark circling a seal pup maybe?
Ok probably just too much national geographic on free tv
Fallen honey
Be careful that you are not the hunted before you even begin your hunt. It can get quite messy here sometimes.
Would love to see what you have though (in terms of writing that is).
So stop watching tv and write, Fallen.
Fallen
You playing the part of the "hunter" or the "hunted", do you think?
Nossie
This is getting too freaky today!
I'm out of here!!
The sharks are circling as we speak and they have got a wiff of blood in their nostrils!!!
Sems
It seems "Fallen" took one look at the place and ran off with his/her tail between his/her legs!!! You're just trawling for another fresh young newbie, you bad girl!!
Nossie
Im just trying to be nice to the newbie. Thats all *smiles and whistles the theme to jaws*. Hey, I still want Thleaf back but he's gone. Gone forever I tell ya!
Sems
Really? Why? Did he tell you? Tell!!
Yes Nos
He told me he had to leave because all this global warming was too much for him to handle. He couldnt live with himself anymore because he was killing the environment and he was going to find some cave somewhere in the Himalaya's and live there like a hermit. Away from it all. He has to get over the shame of being a contributor.
Of course he didnt tell me, Nossie. I didnt even know he was leaving. Guess he is just having a moment.
Sems
He's probably gone off to get all oily and sweaty on an off-shore oil rig someplace, earning gazillions of dollars for a few weeks works but is too ashamed to let us in on his dirty little secret....
Oily and sweaty
conjuring up other images and emotions here noss and none of them have to do with being sad that Thleaf left....
Sounds great
then afterwards you can all come to my house and we can jump kalgat in the Jacuzzi get slaughtered and fuck each other silly? Geezus I'm so excited I think I'll even fly 3rd world blogpomps up from CT and KZN. Okay so who’s in?
Vaps
Im game and you are still invited. Seeing that you have been celebate for 596million years now, Im sure you have alot to .. erhm... give. Im sure the Jhb girls could handle it. No need for 3rd world blogpomps. Thanx for the thought though.
Yip I fukken knew
it. COCKTEASERS!!
no vaps
i think you where teasing yourself - stop looking in the mirror so much. wtf.
vaps
now that you put it like that... ahhhh i think i'll stay at home or better instead as nos said you're not invite. ok so vaps is not coming. how many left?
vaps
Patronising git. You're not invited.
sems i cant believe
you actually posted this. well you right, you know i'm in...
come people grow some bolls...
Ally
As in "Bols Brandy"???? I think you mean bAlls, yes?

Ag Nossie
Leave the girl alone... she cant write English either... bwahahahahaha
sems thanks babe

Semi
You see now? You CAN "Be the bitch"!!! ;-)
Nossie
Me? Never! *innocent look*
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
BWAAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAA!

um....like NO.
Arbie
*snif..wipes away tear*...if you can't afford the ticket, we'll pass the hat around.....
Nossie
I got you down for yes cos I know you always game. Definitely something stronger than tea. Dont you worry your pretty little head over that.
Hmmm... yeah, did see that we have been excluded from tomorrow's gathering of the rich and famous. Oh well, maybe we'll crack a nod some other time. But no bitching today.
not a sossij
some of you are scary.
sorry kc i have to start you
it doesn't matter how short you are we'll always be frightened of you...
Tazer and blog meet

Dwergie
You are the only scary one here. Think most people would be afraid of meeting you.
But I know you will say yes to a blog-meet. You just being all coy and shy. But we wont beg.
KC
You scared of us????COME OOOOONNNN!!! You be the scary one!! NOT
