SOUTH AFRICA UPDATE

This sign would make perfect sense on the roads of Miami.

But here it refers to actual baboons.

If you are truly manly, you can ride an elderly overweight seal.

Meanwhile, I have joined another band.

Comments

[Phil(back)inTexas]

A very manly riding of the overweight seal Dave.

[trustf8]

Dave should be cautious when using a non-resealable old bag...

[Meanie the Blue]

Who knew baboons could read signs calling for their attention?

[Theresa]

Dave, that looks like an interesting band to say the least.

[Mitch]

I didn't South African baboons looked like exclamation points.

[Steve Haller]

I'd be careful with that seal, Dave, Walter could sur for alienation of affection...

[Steve Haller]

I'm sur I meant sue...

[Siouxie]

You know it, Dave. Too many baboons driving here in Miami.

BTW, The Traveling Baboons wbagnfa (SA) rb.

[nursecindy]

Siouxie, they could open for The Traveling Wilbury's. Dave could put that picture of him and the seal on his Holiday cards this year and tell everyone it's a Christmas Seal. Just a thought.
Oh yeah. Go Spain!

[Mot the Hoople]

The bands are known as the Kaapse klopse and have created a holiday in the Cape on the 2nd January every year when hundreds of similar bands all garishly attired and with minstrel face-paint march through the center of Cape Town.

If I had to choose between a baboon and a politician there'd be no contest. The baboon would groom me and remove fleas from my hair which is more than any politician has ever done for me.

I know a guy who blew a seal a week or so ago.

[Mitch]

I left out a know.

I hate it when I edit an initial comment to add words and the resulting word count winds up equal.

Go Orange.

[trustf8]

! baboons??? Dave's !ing a seal!

[bonmot]

More cowbell.

[Steve Haller]

This is why you should never use banana oil in place of Simoniz...

[NotSherly]

"Baboons," she exclaimed.

[Horace LaBadie]

The international symbol for Baboons is a baseball and bat? Well, maybe in Miami.

Seal has put on weight since having children.

[Alyzabeth]

Manly Seal Riding WBAGNFARB.

[Allen at Division]

The kneeling band member reminds me vaguely of Al Jolson in "The Jazz Singer"...

[Mot the Hoople]

Allen, that's because of the minstrel face-paint. They tend to use much more face-paint during the Cape Carnival on 2nd New Year as it's called.

[Annie Where-but-here]

At least they warn you before you turn the corner and encounter this.

[Hammond Rye]

I'm sure Sophie is somewhere off-camera from the seal dying of embarrassment.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Dave would make a great bronc rider.

*waves @ Hammie!!!*

[Cody]

I printed out the Baboons pic and put it up at my office.

[Hammond Rye]

*Waves @ Annie!!!*

[Annie Where-but-here]

Good idea, Cody. I'm putting it up on the men's room door.

[trustf8]

Tamborine guy wearing bottom of sock on hand:
Dave & the SockBottom Remainders?

[queensbee]

To me you suggest a baboon! (Ambassador gasps, and looks insulted) ... It isn't fair to the rest of the baboons. Groucho Marx/Margaret Dumont in Duck Soup ...
i knew groucho would have something to say...

[Miss Chevious]

Dave,

CONGRATULATIONS on the Emmy nomination!!

[Annie Where-but-here]

Ooh, man. Gene's gonna be so jealous. Congrats! If you need a hot date for the Emmys, I know a guy who knows a guy.....

*bows to his emmynence*

Good Luck Dave!
Your bloggers are pulling rooting ! -ing for you!!!

[nursecindy]

Congratulations Dave! Top that Mr. Weingarten! Anybody can get a Pulitzer Prize. That dosn't sound right.... Congratulations Dave!

[bonmot]

If Dave is such a good writer, maybe he oughta write a book . . .

Jus' sayin'.

[Horace LaBadie]

Dave is nominated for a joke that was cut from the show. 'I'm happy when Up wins the award for Best Animated Feature, because we have a joke for that, and I wrote it; but then, for time reasons, it gets cut. (To save it from the joke death camp, I will tell it to you now: ``Up tells the moving story of a bitter old man whose life is transformed by the most powerful force of all: helium.'')'

[Annie Where-but-here]

What is proper mantel protocol in these situations? Which goes in the middle - the Pulitzer, Emmy, or Oosik? I'm thinking Sophie's "Have Joy" note takes center stage.

[RichZ]

I'm just trying to figure out why you're still there. I would have come home after Paraguay lost. Nothin' interesting to look at after that.

[Mot the Hoople]

So you've been to SA have you RichZ?

[Siouxie]

Oh Rich...silly man...I'll invite you to see some of the pictures that Mrs. Blog has posted on HER blog.

BREATHTAKING!!

Makes me want to go there and not for the "football". One of these years, Mot...there will be a Cuban in SA!
