The editor and contributor (silent editor and rare contributor) of this acclaimed webblog has tragically passed away. I have been tasked with writing his obituary. Usually obituaries are scribbled by a member of the lower echelon of the contributing writers, but due to the magnitude of the man, and that we have no other writers I will do it. Here it follows:
Rockstar Gone: (pink was his favourite)
There was no sadness early yesterday when Dave the Whip aka rockstar passed away. He was 22 and most regularly seen in seedy bars, dodgy sweatshops and Clifton 4. He left on SAA Flight 274 to London.
He was married but single and took his spouse with him leaving only his friends, debt, a pechant for pernod and unfinished business. It will be an open casket ceremony and visitors can see his remains behind bars or in UK gutters.
The Whip achieved much in his short time with us including: a degree, a stint as fashion advisor to the growing SA hiphop scene, a shot at the under 61kg national cage fighting title, a respected ability to pour and drink beer from a dizzy height and to drive like an F1 driver. (mostly like Arytonn Senna or that Japanese fellow that kept crashing the BAR-honda in 2002) His presence, wit, charm, free thinking, advice and most of all his girlfriend will be missed.
Travel in peace fine sir. Live the dream...!
