Geoff was gracious enough to let me use his 3DS until I finally snag my own next week, so I’ve been neck-deep in some fantastic Nintendo gaming that I’ve missed out on all these years. I’m finally making my way through my first ever Zelda title, and so far Ocarina of Time is just magical. Now if only someone could explain to me how the hell Super Smash Bros. works, that would be grand.

As you may have noticed we (everyone excluding me apparently) had fun with some Mugabe memes today, in honour of his gracious trip at the airport yesterday. This is probably the greatest gift Bob has ever bestowed on the world, so we thank him for that. Did you find them all?

Here’s the news we didn’t post today, because we were all too busy trying to learn Mugabe’s latest dance moves.

        Honked at a herd of school children yesterday. Zero fucks were given about traffic. The one boy acted all tough and I almost pulled over.

          It’s really sad actually. Back in school we had traffic classes, teaching us how to behave as a pedestrian in traffic. That doesn’t happen any more, and people have NO regard for their lives, or the lives of others.

          And remember, even though it’s illegal to be walking on a highway, if you crash into and kill a pedestrian, taking a chance on one – it’s your fault, and you go to jail.

            Yeah :/

            It’s like the people in power decided kids’ lives were no longer worth protecting…

          • Spaffy

            February 5, 2015 at 16:44

            The people in power are a bunch of self enriching assholes who couldn’t give a fuck about anything, let alone something specific like kids’ lives.

          • Tosh MA

            February 5, 2015 at 16:45

            Yep. Because they’ll stay in power forever. So who cares about kids anyway?

            I agree 100% but have you noticed the parents half the time? These neanderthals, as I call many of them (and I am a parent), drop their child off with zero regard as to where; and then roar off down the road straight through the zebra crossings, etc.

            And that’s just the tiny school in my neck of the woods. One day I will be forced to take them on. And come hell or high water I will win that fight against the neanderthal.

            Anyway, point being that the parents don’t teach the kids manners, patience, etc so kids just follow the lead.

            I wish people needed licenses to have kids. Make it R25,000 application per child; show you can take care of them, etc.

          • Tosh MA

            February 5, 2015 at 16:47

            That’s a very valid point. I say it often enough in other areas, but it’s 100% true. More often than not, Parents have a lot of the blame resting squarely on their shoulders.

            Cunts.

          • Spaffy

            February 5, 2015 at 16:47

            R25000 per child? What would the “govamant grant” be worth then?

          • Tosh MA

            February 5, 2015 at 16:48

            About the same. But they’ll give those grants from bigger mansions.

            Schools had to choose between teaching how to safely cross a road or how to correctly put on a condom.

            Yup, that was an awesome Southpark episode!

            February 5, 2015 at 16:31

            The first ten season were pretty funny. But now it’s all about making fun of current issues

          • Tosh MA

            February 5, 2015 at 16:34

            *seasons

            But no. Not one episode was funny.

            I am VERY particular in my tastes in comedy. South Park isn’t it.

          • Matewis Jubilai

            February 5, 2015 at 16:35

            Yeah, I miss the random craziness of episodes like Spooky Fish, Pink Eye and Mecha Streisand. Although, there are some of those in the later seasons as well: Major Boobage, The Coon and Pinewood Derby

            Our school was cheap they used the normal school bell just rang it multiple times (short rings take cover in class, long rings GTFO).

            One moment you think it is break time getting out your samie then you hear the next ring drop the samie and take cover behind the fat kid.
