Please KJ could you blog?
Update:For Xenon, the translation of the above toon. "Ole Ntimama, we know of, but this ole brosekui, whose child is he?"
note:Ole Ntimama is a Kenyan Maasai member of parliament. In african culture, most people are identified by their parentage. Thus 'Child of' = 'Ole' in Maasai tribe, 'Wa' in Kikuyu, 'Arap' in Kalenjin etc.
I bet you already gathered about the 'nolle prosequi', which is latin legalese for what AG wako did about LucySlap and CholmondeleyShot.

I'm loving this. I feel a certain spell of infatuation with my fellow Kenyans coming on. BTW, there's a most brilliant Kenyan academic who has done a paper on those games we used to play as kids, where we were outinsulting each other, and without a doubt my favourite is "Ati you guys are so many in your house that when fithe comes home he greets you by saying "My Fellow Kenyans..."
Okay, I have a very basic sense of humuor, it's true.
You know I am devastated. You nevre did come back...after such promise. I had hoped for conversations with you, at the mad woman place. But alack, and alas, you never were there....
wm, it appears we may be online at about the same time, i just stopped by your blog right now..eh prolific is not even the word. ninarudi!! about that kenyan academic, where can we see this?? post a link ama better yet a blog post would be awesome!since we all playing tapo, i cant think of a way a way to play 'bladder' on the blogosphere!
Afromusing! Eti you want to play 'bladder' online!? u just made my day:) God must have made you while someone was cracking jokes:))
When you find out how let us know if we can also play 'shake' online...KBW guys against girls?
lol akiey, heh 'shake' would just be a blast! :))
afromusing,
the academic in question is called Joyce W. Nyairo, from Moi University, and she is hot!!! Honestly, she may be the best academic we've produced in oh, the last twenty years. She takes urban culture seriously, where we drink, why, what we talk about, what's going on in the estates, what the popular idioms are: she RULES. Unfortunately, for the fate of the particular paper I had in mind, she hasn't published it yet. But I think I can reveal another of its gems: "Ati you guys are so many in your house than in order to feed everyone you have to photocopy the chapos!" and "Ati you guys are so many in your house when it comes time to eat you have to hold elections!" Or this one, "Ati your house is so big you have street vendors in the corridors!" or even "ati your house is so small there isn't even room to change your mind.". She's got hundreds and hundreds of these, all mixed up in the most perfect analysis you ever want to see. She relates all this to housing shortages, to the distrust of politicians with their fake "families", to the informal economy, to the failures of multi-party democracy, etc. etc. etc. Tres, tres, ice. She may be the most intelligent Kenyan alive today, and I KNOW HER!!!
Thanks for the info! Heres' one more
'ati you guys are so many in the hao mpaka lunch time you need to get a rubber stamp ndio usirudie'
