THANK YOU: Thank you's should go out to everyone who is spreading the word about FunBo's House Of Style. Because of you, my fan club is snowballing into a global phenomenon. Special thanks to Stephen for bringing me three fans and Rosa for annoying her friends by forwarding countless copies of the newsletter. Yeah!
WORD ON THE STREET PRESENTS "QUIET ON THE SET"...NEXT WEEK: Due
to some crazy time restraints, I was unable to complete this week's word on
the street. However, next week, word on the street will present a comic taking
an in-depth look at the hard workers of the adult entertainment industry. Stay
tuned.
THE KING AND HIS CROWN: Monday afternoon, Jeff and I went to BCIT to
play some ball. When he picked me up from my place, I emerged wearing my super
fresh, super clean, pink paper crown that I got from a Christmas cracker. Needless
to say, I was totally styling. Everyone who saw me had that look of awe that
you get when you are in the presence of greatness. Also, we parked by a dusty pickup truck that someone had written "RICE ROCKET" on using their finger and the dust. Anyways, back to ball, I tried playing with the
crown on my head but the danger of my hair gel soaking through the crown was
not cool. Plus, it was annoying when I was trying to shoot. Well, crown or no
crown, I was feeling the flow, Happy Gilmore-style, and I beat Jeff in a good
ole game of one-on-one and PIG. I am once again, the King. By the way, Jeff, you still have my two bucks. I'm gonna hunt you down and beat you like a dog...LIKE A DOG!!! (God bless Mr. T in all his Clubber Lang-esque glory).
The crown also came into play thursday when my dad (foolishly) challenged me to a game of ping-pong. Seeing how I am at the top of my game, it was easy to predict me winning. I won the best-of-5 3 games to 1. Some may choose to think that my losing one game means I am beatable. Nonsense, I am unbeatable. I beat myself that game. No one can beat me. I issue a challenge to anyone who thinks they can beat me, by all means, step up and answer the bell. Be prepared to face the ruckus.
SALMON AWARD: This week's winner of the salmon award goes to Becky Toppings.
Becky is now the "Prime Minister of International Affairs". Congratulations
and make canadians look good down there, or else I'll hunt you down. Just kidding...really.
As a sidenote, be advised that we currently have no one on deck for next week's
salmon award, so if you would like your own custom title such as "President",
"Vice President" or "Super Brown Belt Deluxe" (that last one is still available),
just email me and tell me what you would like your title to be.
CRUISIN': Last saturday, I neglected to add that Jory and I spent countless hours driving around downtown. It was the funnest time I have had in a car. First when we were by the mall, we ditched a cop by going in a circle and he drove right by us. Then we went on the prowl downtown to see what was shaking. Nothing was really shaking. However, we drove by this car packed with hot girls and they kept staring at us even though I never took my eyes off of them. Then they began singing the music that we were playing in the car. At that point, I told Jory we should've followed them but we didn't. On our way back to Burnaby, we saw a crazy car accident on Main and Kingsway and it was bananas. The guy looked pretty bad inside this Honda Civic. His car got smashed by a pickup. I ruthlessly tried to take a picture so I can show you what the scene was like but that won't get developped for a while. From there, Jory stopped to get some food and then we headed back home. It was a jolly good time.
Just for the record, we weren't driving the car pictured above.
THE DREAM CAR: Recently I have come to the conclusion that this is the year of Bobby and I am gonna be filty rich. So I decided to do some online window shopping for a car. I have decided that since money is not an option, I am gonna buy a 1965 Aston Martin DB5...the same one they used in James Bond's Goldfinger and Thunderball. To check out my choice, take a peak at the pics below.
BABE BATTLE 3...WITH A VENGEANCE: Babe battle is quickly becoming a
rousing success. Last week's battle was super close at the start, but Alyssa Milano pulled away at the end beating
out Katherine Heigl 10 votes to 7 in a comeback victory. Thanks to all who voted, let's keep it going.
This week we have a special treat. My friend, Megan has asked to be in the battle.
Warren decided to pit her against Ariel from the Little Mermaid. Rock the vote!!!
CLICK HERE TO VOTE ON THIS WEEK'S BATTLE: MEGAN VS. ARIEL.
THE
AFRO ADVENTURES: Not much new with the afro this week. I had a really good
afro day on tuesday. I spent most of the day at work admiring how great it looked.
Friday, I was at the mall and some guy there had afro puffs. It was cool, he
looked like he was half Dr. J, half Mickey Mouse. It was like seeing my dream
hair manifesting itself in front of me.
Recently, I have found the paper crown to be a great tool in keeping the afro
tight. Another great and underrated tool for keeping the fro looking cool: the
baseball cap. I prefer the fitted Dodgers cap, but whatever you have lying around
the house should do. Good luck to all my fellow Afrosians.
As a sidenote and reminder, look for a pic of the fro in an upcoming issue.
I took a pic of my fro last weekend but I have 20 exposures left on that roll
of film.
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION CONTEST:Well it appears that only one person took
the time to enter the contest, so by default, Jeff Sadgrove wins the new year's
resolution contest with his two killer ideas. Here are, and I quote, his ideas.
"I think that you should resolve to do the following.
1)
Every time an old person drives by on a scooter, knock them over, yank out the orange flag
from
the scooter, and stand one end while pulling the other end over their face and letting go,
whipping them countless times in the face. Then while they're scrambling around, steal their
pills and stick them up your ass, them put them back in the bottle. Then when they take their
medicine, they'll eat your poo. Your poo will be their medicine! Isn't that great. I think that that
would make the world a better place.
2)
Kill an insane amount of pigeons, rats, squirrels, neighbors cats, etc... and keep them in a
huge
cooler all year. Then on December 31st, leave the cooler full of carcasses in the middle of the
parking lot at Pho Bich Nga. That way you'll kill lots of annoying vermin, probably make
someone puke, and start some serious shit against Pho Bich Nga. Actually, I don't know why
I'd choose that place. I kinda like it just for the name. Do it at Uncle Charlies downtown
instead. Yeah."
Even if people did enter, they would have a tough time coming up with a resolution
that could challenge those two. Congratulations to you, Jefferson!
ALBUM UPDATE: This week I am in the process of selecting between three
songs. All three of these songs could end up going on the album, increasing
the total to seven songs. However, it is most likely that one will definitely
be chosen and push current total to five songs.
NEW JODECI ALBUM ON THE WAY?: Apparently, Jodeci, in my mind the best
r&b group in a long time, are working on a fourth album. Their last album
was "The Show, The Afterparty, The Hotel" which was released in 1995.
Since then KCi and Jojo have gone on to do their own project apart from the
other two have just released their third album. Mr. Dalvin also released a solo
project called "Met.A.Morph.Ic". JoJo said in an inteview before the
relase of the latest K-Ci and JoJo album that Jodeci has been working together
right now to make an album. Currently, they have about 40 songs to pick from.
On a sidenote, their are limited editions of the newest K-Ci and JoJo album
(called "X") that have a new track by Jodeci on it. Keep your fingers
crossed if you're a fan.
NEW BUSINESS ON THE RISE: Finally, all my suffering at work is looking
like it will pay off. A co-worker and I have come up with the greatest business
idea of all-time. This honestly has the potential to break the bank, big time.
I recently went back to my old high school to get some advice and stuff from
my old entrepreneurship teacher so all is well. The specifics must be kept on
the downlow until the prcoess of patenting the idea is complete. I'll keep you
updated on this in the future.
PLAYDIUM AND OTHER FUN
Saturday night, Jory and I went to Cactus Club to get our grub on and then to Playdium to kill the night away. The highlight of Cactus Club was how they were playing "Dumb and Dumber" on one of the TVs. That is quite possibly the only movie that is funny even when you can't hear a word being said. I ate chicken wings there and it reminded me of Hodge's house on New Year's. Also, we had like four different servers which was bad because: 1)that's just odd and 2)the first one was gorgeous. Such a shame we had to split our time with her and 3 other people. Such is life.Playdium was a bittersweet time. I generally had lots of fun. Jory and I were like trained assassins in all the shooting games. It was unreal. However, I took to the basketball game trying to beat Graham's unbeatable score of 105 points. I got to 98 and missed my last four shots which were all 3's. If I made 3 of those 4, I would have had the record. Oh well, at least I know it's attainable now.
SURVIVOR: A pretty good episode of Survivor this week. In week 2, Kel
Gleason from the Ogakor tribe got canned in unanimous fashion 7 votes to 1 (Kel
himself voted for Jerri). The real kicker was how Kel talked about Marilyn and
someone else saying that they agreed to vote Jerri off and it ended up that
they stabbed him in the back. That's pretty rough, but oh well, that's the breaks.
Other highlights included that old man, Rodger, who waddled incompetently in
the water in the lamest attempt of swimming. How can you get on the show without
knowing how to swim? I think they need a better screening process. Also, the
world's biggest hypocrite ends up being Kimmi. In the immunity challenge, the
teams were forced to each eat a random piece of grossness. The team that had
the most people eat and not have their food come back up won. Kimmi refused
to eat cow brain because of her phony vegetarian ways (no offence to vegetarians)
because it's a mammal. However, when the other team chose her to eat for the
tie-breaker she took down the worm with ease. What is that all about? Anyways,
next week should be sweet. Michael makes a spear and begins to go into Lord
of the Flies mode, while some guy and girl from the other tribe get their groove
on. Yeah!!!
FUNBO MOVIE REVIEW: This week I went to the theatres and saw "Sugar and Spice". The movie was pretty good, believe it or not. I went in thinking it was gonna be a lame ass mtv cheerleader movie, but it was actually a good movie. The first 10-15 minutes were really peppy and I was contemplating screaming but then the movie got good. The whole plot is actually well done and the actual cheerleading isn't the central theme so much as a prop that is used to keep the story together. I think that many people would be pleasantly surprised to see this movie. Also, the girls in it are pretty hot.
ERROR CORRECTION: Last week I failed to add that Jory is the deputy of gangster love because he gets all kinds of gangster love from people when he drives by downtown.
He still has yet to answer the bell. Why do ladies like this guy so much. He
obviously has no heart.
Did anyone catch that new show that's like "Making The Band" only with girls from Canada. It's called Popstars. It's pretty catchy. But what was up with some of the people trying out. There was some lady who was so old (for all the Vic people, she looked like that old lady at Legends who we wanted Cory to hook up with on his birthday). Oh man, that was nasty stuff.
