Ben Lee, Butlers, and Possessiveness

"Who's Ben Lee? Who's Ben Lee? Is he a cricket player or something? No, that's Brett Lee. Explain..." Before I do, let me just tell you that this is going to be one cracker of a posting. Got you reading a bit more carefully now, didn't I?

This is Ben Lee with some people who look weird and who make Ben Lee (centre) look a little scared. Probably his parents.

Ben Lee is an Australian fellow, much like Brett Lee. Weird really. For those current South Africans among you, you'll recognise his voice (or his music) from the Nedbank adverts. Oh yes, he's a singer. One of these Indie Aussies. He's won a bunch of awards and his CD is quite groovy. It's very mellow and quite repetitive, but interesting. One lucky winner who comments will walk off with a free sample of his music... the voice-breaker 'Just Do It' or maybe it's called 'Whatever It Is'. Whatever it is called (I'm good, hey), it is good. Listen to it. Just Do It. (Again, I'm on a roll!) Buy the CD from Musica, and ask for a student discount. They're quite stingy about giving them out, but look harassed and it should go well. Best of luck. And the CD looks like this. It doesn't say Ben Lee. Stupid move that.


Talking about luck, I have a news snippet. This is an example of BAD luck. My flatmate is a vegetarian. We ordered pizza from Butler's Pizza, Cape Town's #1! Anyway, turns out his vegetarian with extra spinach got some bonus bacon thrown in. Lucky sod. Halfway through the pizza, however, upon discovery of the rogue piggy, flatmate was not as happy as I would have been. I mean, extra bacon usually costs R8. That's just less than one pound. Not one pound of bacon, no no no. One GBpound, but I can't find the *pound* sign.

Now, possessiveness. Not just a word with many S's.

possessiveness
n : excessive desire to possess or dominate

What happens when you fall for someone, but you have an 'ex' that is possessive? You scrape your knee. Never a nice thing. Blood all over the place and inevitably there's only one person who can stop the bleeding. You. That's my advice for the day. Explanation to follow. (I should write for a newspaper). Sort out the problem by eating two amethysts and standing on your head for 6 hours a day. Example:

Girl in black falls for guy with water. She scrapes her knee. It's a tragedy. www.dcroadrunners.org

That's all for today. And I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm only kidding about the free sample. That's illegal down South. Sorry. Really. It is illegal.
