Thats disgusting!... No its just tradition...
Well today I thought I would recount a little African Experience for you. When the Dutch began to settle in South Africa, well obviously they were really bored. Why do I say this? Well for a game we shared in when we were in Africa. Its called poo spitting. First you have to find an animal with pellet shaped poo. (Wildebeest and Giraffe was all I personally tried). Now you don't want fresh poo, but poo that has had proper cure time, ready to be used as a projectile. Simply pop the poo in your mouth and project. The greatest distance wins.
If you are still confused, watch this instructional video on poo spitting from Tim.
After proper instruction you are ready for a good competition. I am proud to say I am the Giraffe Poo Spitting Champion of South Africa, far exceeding the abilities of even the locals!
Of course, we got everyone to take part, but some, such as Stephanie and Jillian focused on the wrong part of the competition. Yes they focused on not the fact it was a competition, but that it was POO.... EWWWW! Jillians face says it all.
oh and i threw up an african photo on the photo link for today

I always knew you had it in you Jerm, those amazing poo spitting abilities. I'm proud of you, Jeremy, so very very proud of you. You know, when I first met you, I thought to myself, this young man looks like he could expel poo from his mouth at great velocities, but I never expected you to go so far. You're. . .such a great addition to human society, (sniff)and such a testament to the greatness of the human spirit. . .(sniff) I promised I wouldn't cry, but its so emotional, to see a pupil spit poo so far, I just. . .you just keep spitting your poo Jeremy, just keep spitting your poo.

I just recieved a call from the American Society for Improving Canadian-American Relations Or We Also Go By Our Initials Which Are ASFICAROWGBO. They have requested that I retract my previous statement and deliver this written statement for all to see.
"The statements made by one 'Matthew (the canadian)' are untrue The idea of eating foods like that would make most canadian vomit and the idea of using punctuation like that would be enough to make a canadian teacher scream This wriiten notice is to make ammends for these things and to address statements made by the afforementioned
1 Canadians DO NOT eat fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches Thats just disqusting
2 Canadians DO NOT use punctuation Come on folks what kind of uncivilized barbarian do you take us for"
(Please not that this comment and my previous comment are both meant to be commical I very seriously doubt the truth to either, but I do not know any cannadian personally)

Posted by: lpf | September 9, 2003 03:48 PM
Did any of you ever think of using whoppers or something? I mean, you could have used boston baked beans or something and nobody would have known. I couldn't put poop in my mouth, that's just too gross for me.

Very Creative!!!
Posted by: Christine | September 9, 2003 04:24 PM
Well you see everyone, you gotta get into the culture of where ever you are... right? I mean if they been doing this fun game for generations? Why not jump in... I guess you call it poo pressure. I succumbed to it! And no this isnt the nasiest thing, yes triliums are worse. And Durian is absolutely the worst thing i've ever tried, and its a delicacy!
