Philanthropy gets you laid...

Okay, I haven´t tested this idea but it makes perfect sense. Whilst you are clad in nothing but khaki cargo pants and a dusty vest bottle feeding Kenyan aids orphan out of your self-funded mobile goodwill charity shelter for underprivileged African baby orphans, and a busload of European glamour models on a shoot for Vogues new African summer theme arrives you are guaranteed to be woken up with ´good morning gorgeous´ mouthed in Italian, French and Spanish the next morning.

I promise you guys, she fell out of the sky just like that vodacom ad with those Bushmen guys. I think it is called a parachute...

The more I think about it the more philanthropy appeals to me. We are as such starting a charity. We urge you, we implore you, we beg you, we appeal to your better conscious and good will, please will you donate any money, asset of value or voyager miles to our cause. We are sending Puke Watson overseas...

If you were taller, you could reach for it yourself...

´Controversial loose forward Luke Watson has several lucrative offers from clubs abroad should he wish to continue his career outside South Africa.

In an interview with the Breakfast team of the Bloemfontein-based radio station, OFM, Watson's agent Jason Smith confirmed that "we have had some interest from overseas clubs" for Watson for the last 12 months.

"If Luke decides that he wants to play in Europe, these opportunities will definitely be available," Smith told the radio station.

Watson's father, Cheeky Watson, confirmed "there is already a big offer on the table."´

Fuckin awesome. If they are playing for his whey shakes, and nervousa counselling, I will personally drive the fundraiser for his airfare. Fuck it, he is flying first class. I hear the toilets are closer to the seats in case he gets airsick, or just sick of being short.

Leaving on a j-et plane, don´t know if we want you back again...

Admittedly the press in SA are so screwed up that the article intimates a move abroad yet, when you read the quotes you can see the subject was merely discussed in passing rather than with actual purpose. So don´t get your hopes up. He probably isn´t going anywhere.Although this was also in the article and I love how the opportunity to comment on a side issue was taken.

´But Watson Snr said: "Luke is born in South Africa. Why must he pack his bags? And I believe deep in my heart that the overwhelming majority of the Afrikaans speaking people don't see any colour."´

How is the second part of that anywhere related to the question?

Excuse Mr Henson, where will you e going for summer? ´After graduation I will spend some time on Clifton 4, and yes I think you should vote for Obama just because his economic policies seem more in line with alleviating the situation of the middle and lower class than aiming to further entrench the large economic class disparity across America. Thank you for your time.´
