So tomorrow’s Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday! Which is kind of a holiday now. And stores like to celebrate that kind of thing with sales and stuff, because that’s what the King was all about, right? Right. Which is why it is totally sensible for Thalia Surf Shop in Laguna to take 20% off all of it’s black products.
If shots are going down in the Cape Town City Bowl, it looks like they’re going down at St Georges Mall. Again.
The goal here is pretty cool! Sort of. Extend your perception of time by doing new or uncomfortable things – and have more, better memories of a given day than you would if you were doing dull stuff. We like it – we’re all about extending the vibe. Even if uncomfortable things are required of you from time to time.
As part of Machine Project’s “Good People Doing Bad Things”, apparently teaching kids to break into and hot-wire cars is good for their development. The aim of the project is not so much to turn kids into deviants, but to get them understanding how cars work…
After three princes named Brooklyn, Cruz and Romeo, the Beckham’s are finally expecting a princess. I shudder to think what the poor girl’s name will be. Any ideas? This exciting news takes me way back to when Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were expecting their first born.
If you’re as grossly obese as this man taking a brisk walk every couple of days just won’t do when attempting to lose weight. There are a number of reasons for this, foremost amongst which are that you weigh so much that you cannot walk and if you do manage to get up your legs will sheer at the ankles.
So! Pretend we’re having that bit of dialogue from Pulp Fiction where we talk about Burger King burgers being called ‘royale’ in France, except we’re talking about North Korea, and they call them “minced meat and bread,” to avoid referring to the uniquely American hamburger. Also, this is a new thing.
2oceansvibe Media is expanding and we’re looking for shit-hot scribes to enter the fray and be a part of 2oceansvibe.com’s writer paddock. If you’re a bright girl or a boy and you rate yourself as a writer and you’ve got more wit that a merkin, then follow the link to find out how to apply.
When deceased property developer and sky-diving enthusiast, Rob Taylor generously donated his Audi R8 to two car guards at the foot of table mountain in January 2010, he probably didn’t bet on those same car guards would have fraud charges brought against them by Taylor’s business partner, and de facto owner of the car.
Well, I guess Ryan Rusnak wins at weekends. Nice try, everybody. This dude set up his fridge to fire a variety of beers at him from across the room whenever he keys in the command on his iPhone. I mean sure, he’s choosing to have Bud Light thrown at him, but cultural differences. Focus on the potential here.
For any of us who’ve been out to a supper club or dinner venue with a beautiful lady this safety certificate from the 1940’s will prove invaluable.
750 African Grey parrots perished on a 1Time airlines flight from Johannesburg’s OR Tambo airport to Durban’s King Shaka Airport on Christmas Eve. The parrots had been captured in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and were transported to South Africa for resale as pets in the second stage of a three-part transaction of a larger group of parrots.
Applying for jobs sucks. It’s awkward and painful and time-consuming. But some people know how to do it right – how to avoid getting caught in the rat-trap of sweaty-palmed interviews and communicate a certain level of coolness at the same time. Presented below is one such person’s job application. Please – read it, and learn to be a better person.
Finally. Something to spend this R1.5 million I have lying around on. Lennon’s 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Coupe (I don’t know what most of that means!) is being auctioned off in February; they expect it go for slightly more than his dark green Chrysler station wagon, which was recently auctioned off for $5,500 (ZAR 37.5k).
While the floods in Australia are devastating, there are a number of natural disasters unfolding on a significantly larger human and geographic scale – and we don’t seem to give a damn.
This is the fifth installment of the weekly Sex In The Mother City series. Kira is house-sitting for friends at their Fresnaye house, the day after meeting over-achiever Shane. Once her fellow house sitters arrive, and both Shane and Kira add their friends Paul and Celeste to the equation, the offers for multi-partnered liaisons come […]
It has been found! Well, refound. If you’re a big Quentin Tarantino fan, which you almost certainly are, then you will love this clip from his very first movie “My Best Friend’s Birthday”. The whole thing is like concentrated Tarantino, squeezed into a half an hour. everything is there: his hyper-manic acting, black humour and very clever camera work and dialogue. Click through for the (very long) video.
It’s pretty good! I mean, as lightsaber-based films go. Also, it’s called ‘3 Minutes’ which is helpful if you want the title to tell you how long a film is. They could’ve called The English Patient ‘Too Goddamned Long,’ for instance. Incidentally, is this what Glee is? Running around with lightsabers? Because then I would understand its appeal.
That’s a pretty big call. I know. Alright then, I’ll hedge my bets. He’ll definitely murder either Daniel Radcliffe or JK Rowling. After long, protracted periods of stalking, high court judgments, and coincidental midnight run-ins on apartment stair wells, this here guy will eventually figure out that he has been jilted. And he will be pissed off.
In an incident that the Catholic Church will almost certainly deem a great work of faith, Italian New Years celebrator Darco Sangermano sneezed a miracle.
Yesterday we had a comment on our story, Rob Taylor Took The Ultimate Jump which prompted us to do a little extra digging. Professionals suggest that his unusual behaviour leading up to his death may have been a result of drug use or a mental health ailment.
So. ‘Phoenix Jones,’ some dude in Seattle who wears a cape/mask outfit and stops crime with a stun gun and fists got his nose broken over the weekend after trying to stop a night-time brawl. Surprise! Local police have advised Jones and the rest of his super-team (‘Red Dragon’ & ‘Buster Joe’) to stop getting involved in dangerous situations.
I don’t know how to feel about this. I loved Fight Club the way you love an eccentric uncle; it was weird and it stank of smoke and made people feel uncomfortable, but it was awesome. The fact that it’s director, David Fincher wants to revisit it is great; the whole ‘musical’ angle is where I start panicking.
Your buddy calls you up and asks if you want to join him and 32 others to stand around in your underwear on the three fifteen to Blackheath. Says he read about it on Facebook. You tell him to go screw himself, right? Wrong. You ask him what colour boxers he’ll be wearing because you take Facebook very, very seriously.
Chatter on the street is that Prince William’s stag party is going down at the Fez in Cape Town. Nothing’s confirmed at this point, but the rationale for the speculation is rather convincing. Click through for more.
This is from the internet, so I can’t promise that it’s real – but I hope it is. I really do. Apparently this guy got fired from a Domino’s pizza chain for walking in drunk or otherwise chemically affected and the results – well. Read the termination letter yourself, I beg you. It’s beautiful.
The folks at the Super Top Secret advertising firm are taking any Ed Hardy or Affliction t-shirt you send them and donating the clothing to the homeless. We like to keep our bird/stone ratio pretty solid here at 2ov, so the possibility of lowering the global douchebag quotient and helping out the lower-income brackets appeals.
I know, I was surprised too. Some dudes in Canada decided to hurl a couple of bottles of flouroscein into the Goldstream River, turning the whole thing bright flouro green. Way to one-up the Old Testament, Canada. I thought you guys were supposed to be nice.
Skulls in lighthouses, unidentified bodies on Table Mountain, and mass food poisonings in Somerset West – it’s been a fairly strange three days in Cape Town.
When you hear the name Josh Groban, the violin line from “You Raise Me Up” starts wilting away in your head, hey? That’s because that was the only song that guy frigging sang for about two years. But hey, all power too him – the man is fabulously succesful nowadays. And with all that record […]
