Picture of the Month: Please be civilised
Posted by Wilson in ...ofthemonth, Food, pic on December 6th, 2009
Because we all know how uncivilised chickens can be sometimes…
For those of us not in the know, uncivilised chicken is the literal translation of ’Jungli Murgi’, which is more of a slang description of how the chicken you’re about to eat was raised i.e. not cooped up in some unnatural metal meshed, artificial light, automatically feeding machines environment, fed weight lifting buff up vitamins along the way sorta up bringing.
No. This chicken was raised old school. Like, a simple fence, a tray with water, a little house on the prairie in the corner complete with adoring farm kids to chase them around, squeals of laughter abound, precious exercise for the coming night where the chickens have to play hide & seek with hungry mongoose. These chicken are Darwin darlings, bush bunnies, uncivilised. Ca.
Is there any taste difference between ‘uncivilised chicken’ and the run-of-the-mill manufactured versions? Of course. When you eat ‘jungli murgi’, know that you are consuming the bloodline of a thousand brave and defying chickens who laugh in the face of ‘progress’ and have struck a path on their own, forging through the tall grasses of the dangerous highlands of Naitasiri, pecking away at conventionalism, eating the very hearts of their enemies with cold precise eyes, crowing to the full moon on top of tallest mango trees, their very essence containing the spirit of the land upon which they live on.
Or something along those lines >.>
Photo of the Month: Fuck you Fiji Water
Posted by Wilson in ...ofthemonth, water on November 17th, 2009
Bottled Water has over the years gained flack over a range of issues ranging from the marginal difference bottle water is from normal tap water, to the fact that the ecological footprint of every bottled water is more damaging then the so called health benefits it brings. Whatever that means.
So someone is trying to start a meme on Flickr denouncing the evil ways of the bottled water empire and its many subjects, this one being the infamous Fiji Water (with new export only packaging!). The hater on Flickr rants:
“Everything is wrong about this. The message that is it “green in every drop” when it has to be flown halfway around the world, the company will chase you down for saying anything against them, and while the company makes money, most of the island lives in poverty.”
‘…most of the island lives in poverty”? Surely Fiji isn’t as bad as everyone overseas thinks. Just because we don’t have HBO doesn’t mean we’re living in the doldrums. Granted Fiji does have its fair share of poverty, but what country doesn’t? And I don’t necessarily think that some bottled water company named after its host country is going to wave its magic wand and just…make it all disappear.
What do you think?
Youtube video of the week: Vijay Singh Jaadu

It’s true. Watch as Vijay Singh commands the elements to his will as he bounces, rolls and ultimately pockets this near hole in one play.
Now if only he can do this on a game by game basis, we’d be the 7s equivalent world champions of golf, and both golf and rugby would be guaranteed medal earners in the Olympics, thanks to our otherworldly prowess.
Thanks Mark Simpson!
PS: Still alive and kickin
Fail Pic of the Month: Fiji’s War Hero is err Hitler?

The Fiji Times salute alludes to a more sinister figure then intended when they begun celebrations to honour our country’s World War 2 heroes.
Vinaka @Strangepants!
Lol Photo(s) of the Month – Vehicle Pwnage
Posted by Wilson in ...ofthemonth, Digicel, Vodafone, advertising, competition, funny, pwnd on July 20th, 2009
For those who came in late, the two vehicles shown in the photos below belong to Fiji’s two mobile phone operators, Digicel and Vodafone Fiji. Judging from the angles at which both vehicles sustained damage (CSI training tiko vei iko saraga), the Vodafone truck had all the fun of owning the Digicel car. As to who exactly who’s fault this is – we can only imagine.
For the meantime, enjoy the photos and bask in the knowledge that this price war is only starting to heat up.

Shiny policeman is shiny.

The front right tire looks slighty sad

Indeed.
