Hubba Hubba

Abu Jihad and Bartholomew Vestibule have struck again, in Battaramulla


Amma started a blog, largely spurred by her experiences on the protest line in the Free Trade Zone. Apparently the women there get harrassed daily (or nightly as it were) by flashers and zipper-men. This is a serious issue, however, I would like to draw attention to a lesser pandemic striking Colombo itself. There are reports of Sri Lankan boys visiting respectable houses, playing cards and taking off their pants. I have not personally seen any penises this weekend, but apparently unwitting mothers and womenfolk have. If you are holding house parties, piriths or bar mitzvahs, I’d recommend frisking your guest for card-packs. Furthermore, I have police sketches of the two main suspects, Abu Jihad and Bartholomew Vestibule. They are, as you might suspect, Al Qaeda affiliated. Why Sri Lankan men cannot behave themselves in public is beyond me.

I have never personally seen this ‘Hubba Hubba’ but I think it’s a card game that involves drinking and removing clothes. I assume that both sexes can play it, but I’ve only heard reports of naked men. Actually, I think it’s much better than getting into fights but, you know, keep your eye out. Should you encounter the two naked men

I like Colombo cause everyone acts like they’re in high school, with no particular reprecussions. It gets a little weird sometimes but on the whole I’d say it adds to the, shall we say, culture of the place. If you get in a fight at a Expos game or college football they’ll throw you out, no questions asked. Same thing with nudity, drunk driving etc. In SL, however, the law simply doesn’t apply to a whole class of people. We took Western law and order and kinda pasted it on top of a seething mass of tribal favors and relationships and wondered why nothing works. Rule of law is only skin-deep here and connections and family pull the strings much tighter than words ever could. The cops don’t arrest anyone cause they might be some minister’s son, and that’s much worse than, say, not doing your job. I’m pretty sure you can actually kill people, as long as they’re not white or connected. Though Hubba Hubba has nothing to do with that. I think if more people took their pants off Sri Lanka would be a safer place for everyone.

There was no actual nudity, a fair amount of leg and pectoral muscles, true, but no nudity. Only a lot of same-sex related revelations.

And what dexterous pectoral muscles they were too….

rather a storm in an underpant…. Ever heard of strip poker….. Is it the fact that it’s a same sex thing that seems to be annoying their sensibilities ? Maybe it will help society be less prudish and just accept nakedness not in sri lanka…… we appear to concerned about the moral good not just for ourselves but of others sadly…. No big deal

I would have thought strip-poker lankan style would expect one to take if off all the way down to the ‘amude’. Those things are smaller than a g-strings in rio during the mardi-gras.

hey ru – when are you getting a blog ? kottu needs more economists writing poetry under the influence

Maybe this is strip poker for the subversives, lanka-style – how about Odel, Sloggi et al sponsoring these card games for their product exposure / placement or lack of……

Look it wasn’t strip poker and getting naked was not the ultimate goal of the game. It was just a by product of heavy duty drinking. I must say the game was proceeding fabulously well until its untimely death. Indi which one am I? I wear glasses but never a hoodie.

Yeah, indi can you fix me up with a blog? have been writing lots of nonsense recently I might as well inflict it on the unwitting public.

2006-03-16 10:29:35

Ana hari. Go to WordPress.com, set one up and mail me the addy for Kottu.

Went to a movie at MC once and I think there was this drunk guy in a corner with his goods on show. Hoping it wasn’t Sophist.

On a more jovial note: Indi having had your pants off in public recently, there may just be some very flustered ladies out there looking to report you as a zipper-man. Vote here, all those in favor of hanging up Indi’s picture on traffic lights and freshly painted walls of unsuspecting home owners.

“everyone acts like they’re in high school…” Mostly true and irritates me no end. You LIKE Colombo coz of that?

I checked, there were no bits and pieces showing. That was the great mercy of the thing.

As per the high school thing, I live with my parents, borrow the car, am generally unemployed, go out all the time, and that’s somehow socially acceptable. It’s great. The only thing is that I can’t cuss out half the people I want to, but I can live with that.

Getting A Chinese Visa In Sri Lanka (Or Trying)

I want to visit my friend in China before he comes back. Free place to crash and all. So, I applied for a visa to China, from Colombo. I’m not sure I’ll get it, but this is process to at least apply. For official but incomplete info, check out the Chinese Embassy website.

Sarath Fonseka And The Mahavamsa

The Mahavamsa (a history of Sri Lanka) is full of conflicts between generals and kings. Usually, the more bloodthirsty and unscrupulous would win. Our current (elected) ruler Mahinda Rajapaksa has had his own general conflicts, namely with one Sarath Fonseka. In the old days Fonseka would have staged a coup, as in literally try to cut of Mahinda’s head, and Mahinda would – if that failed – tie him to four elephants and split his parts asunder. Can’t do that shit anymore. Instead Fonseka ran for office and lost and Mahinda tossed him in jail.

Why Does India Suck At The Olympics?

Today on the morning show we talked about the Olympics, namely China’s emerging dominance. For me the bigger question is India. Why does India suck so much? In 2008 the US won 110 medals, China won 100 and India won… 3. India has over a billion people, some economic clout and is by all counts an emerging superpower, but they suck at the Olympics. Why?

New New Kottu

Janith has updated Kottu with rims and shit. Seriously, it looks pretty good. You could say the desktop look is cosmetic, but check out the mobile. Kottu now looks like an app with settings and menus and such. The biggest problem with K2 is me, ie, it now takes me up to a month to respond to emails. OMG I’m scared of my email. But Janith’s done this code and design update all by himself and it looks pretty good. Check it out. There was one bug with the previous page link. Lettuce know if there’s any more.
