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.

I thought Ted Kasinsky was the Unabomber?

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.

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.

The English Speaking Elite:
  • Mahinda: This is sort of a forum, isn't it? What I mean is that Indi posts something, everyone has a quick read, then starts using this space to air their own views and spread their own message or start their own little (quite often completely unrelated) arguments or whatever... Its got an organic quality, which I think is quite nice......
  • The way of the Dodo: I think we should take some of this stuff and create a forum. That allows for better discussion and more mature dialog. What do you guys think...
  • Mahinda: Just curious... Didn't mean to offend....
Much More Mahinda:
  • Mahinda: Lousy, uninteresting comeback with only mild entertainment value. Where's the wit? Where's the logic/justification to the comment? I'm disappointed in you......
  • David Blacker: Mahinda, I doubt you'd make a good bench press, never mind a press sec....
  • Mahinda: Machang Blacker! Where have you been??! Were you busy washing your hair or something? Oh sorry - you don't have hair, no? So why the offensive attitude? Don't you think I'd make a good press sec? ;)...
The Final Cross:
  • Mahinda: Flyovers, if effectively used, are an excellent method of improving the flow of traffic and congestion. Since you guys don't think the ones that have been built work terribly well towards that objective, lets just blame Mahinda and the Government for this and move on :) Ok. That was just a little joke, but on a serious note, I think development should be well thought out and also implemented in the most cost effective manner. Which...
  • Anon: To add to what Dodo say, before the fly-over there was stop-go traffic at the Dehiwala junction. After the flyover there is a continuous, but slow flow of traffic. Although I use that road only rarely in my limited experience the length of the queue and the time taken to travel is no better after the flyover, and may be slightly worse. Moving the bus stand would be an improvement at Dehiwala, think Nugegoda is somewhat more...
  • Anon: Thanks Shammi, there was a very good interview in the Nation a few years back that opened my eyes to him. Think he did a fair job at the port and according to reports did not take a large "grant" that was in the offing. Agree with Dodo that Mangala's chances of getting elected at the moment look pretty slip....
