Verbatim Vs Verbatim III
Our hero is at the offices of The Honoruable Member of Parliament from Ruhama to have a discussion about the impact of her morality campaign on rates of HIV infection among Christian youth. Our hero owns stock in a condom company. The receptionist gives him a withering once-over and sneers.
- The nineties just called They want their jeans back.
- Well, I am not the centrespread from the latest issue of Vogue magazine so I do not care if I don’t impress you with sartorial savoir faire. I am here to see the honourable member. Please alert her to my presence.
- Are you a disgruntled constituent? Are you one of those clueless and, may I add, vastly irritating bumpkins who travel all the way from the boondocks to ask for sh20k from the MP because they want to buy ferterliser? Why can’t you people learn to be self-sufficient? Buying ferterliser! As if you don' t know where you can get it for free. That is the absolute height.
- No, I am a political lobbyist, advocate of citizens' rights, a conscientious objector – in fact, why mince words, I am a freedom fighter, and I demand an audience with the peoples’ representative.
- Talk about objectors…
- What about objectors?
- I am an objector myself. I object quite conscientiously to those jeans. Really, I haven’t seen jeans like that since Sonic first foiled Dr Robotnik's evil plans. I would not be surprised if you pulled a sh20 note out of the back pocket.
- Are we back to that?
- What time is it in those jeans? It looks like half past hammertime.
- What do I have to do to get past this abuse and actually achieve some sort of , I don’t know, reception from you as the member’s receptionist?
- You could start with a trip to Knight’s Polo.
- Should I give you a bribe? Is that what you want?
- What will you bribe me with? The aforementioned sh20? Save your money. You will need it when you get to Knights Polo.

I swear I don't know why you do this to me. I mean, you know I go online in a public place, and I have some serious street cred to maintain, but still... still you insist on writing stuff like that.
Firsties.
Yeah.

Konka iwe!
Half past Hammertime -- that's like 30 minutes after MC Hammer? Severely old, indeed.
So, you need new jeans. Not friggin' Garden City! Or you're a snob? You've defected from the Party?
Baz, there is a customer in front of me. And u made me burst out loud. U're gonna make me lose my job.
If I do, u're to blame.
Lemme clean the dust off my teeth. Some serious ROTFLMAO.

The first Uganda Bloggers Happy Hour will take place on Thursday, January 18, 2007 at 6:30 PM at Mateo's (above Nando's on Kampala Road, K'la). Bring your wit, your feistiness, your eloquence and your humor and meet up with the myriad of voices, minds and opinions that make up the Ugandan blogosphere.
Friends, readers and the blog-curious are welcome, as is anyone willing to debate the faults and merits of Aga Khan or Jay-Z. We hope this happy hour will serve as a springboard from which the Uganda blogging community can trade ideas, stories and opinions and continue to grow. We look forward to seeing you there!
(Out of the Uganda blogger loop? Check out the Global Voices Uganda page or the links to the right.)
Now I get to see all the blogger chicks' smart asses upclose.
Happy hour I am coming!!!!!!!!!

Back to those jeans. Did they have a cobweb below the fly like MC Hammer's, oba what. I'm lost on Hammertime.

If I recall from Jackfruity.blogspot.com and inanafricanminute.blogspot.com, it is Joshua who is fiesty.
I managed to attend the happy hour briefly, (by phone, admittedly, but at least kko). Fiesty Josh and Jackfruity had already left by then.
You wouldn't tell from this that I feel guilty, would you?
Rev aka Kris Kross aka 27th Comrade has one report, though (slanted and skewed) and Jackfruity has a more thorough one. With pictures.
The next one we shall storm it big time.
