So I bet you’re thinking: this is 1 cookedChicken, Joe.
Well… I would have liked to cook a bit more under the lovely Durban sunny skies, but sadly this was not to be.
I got out to Addington beach and Veccies beach today hoping for a swell swell – after all : the last 2 days we have had 8-10 foot swells in Durban! But sadly – I missed those as we are all working super-hard on http://www.springleap.com(springleap is the future of South Africa’s garment industry, for sure. Check it out).
No such luck for this Chicken Joe
Sadly the waves were absolute mush today. Mush too mush mush… and incredibly the beaches have changed once again in Durban – the hectic swells of the last few days washed away the whole bank! Now there are loads of stones and bricks at Veccies – sucks deluxe – readers…. please watch those toes! My pal Mike van Heerden’s lovely daughter smashed her toes on one of those. Shame, man!
Anyways : I digress – the sea was still surfable (of sorts) when I arrived and there were some good waves were to be had – had them I did! I had my wiggly whilley way with den – surfing solid and true.
There was a 4 second interval between sets with usually 2 good sets for every 4. This was eventually surfing the Blah Blah Blah – that’s what I call it when you just get more and more of the same nonsense – Like when someone just keeps yabbering on about crap – Blah Blah Blah.
Sadly the swell turned ugly and I was forced to the shores – there was just too much Blah Blah Blah.
You win some – you loose some – I guess I won cause at least I surfed and had a blast
Hey there everybody, I trust your weekends are absolutely rocking so far…my Friday night was spent doing a stock take, so I’m pretty sure yours was better than mine Mario Brothers, yes I’m sure most of you would have an inkling of what I’m talking about when you hear that name. For those of you who may be tooyoung (no excuse) or maybe been living in the jungles of the Amazon since the beginning of the 80’s, Mario Brothers is an old school video game.
I’ve seen quite a few of these Mario inspired shirts lately, but they just seem to lack any originality, that was until I came across this styling design from one of our new local designers 2BOP. Check out the “powered up” design 1UP.
1UP, which in video game language means an “extra life” or alternatively to raise an ability, however in this case 1UP means an extra life…the term was first coined by Super Mario Brothers way back when in the 80’s and the term has just stuck. I’m in love with this shirt, being a bit of a geek of course, how could I not.
The 1UPmushroom in the video game is actually green, but works in the colours we have in store, besides its supposed to be a little bit more abstract than your typical t-shirt…I mean what would your personal 1UP mushroomlook like? Mine would be bright red and yellowstripes with a smiley face on it ooooooh yeah
2BOP has some fantastic retro video game type designs that we will be bringing out in the next few weeks.
The 2BOP style is very unique and will fit well with the gamer/retro/geek/funk crowd, if you are a self indulgent Tinkerbell fan or like to pump steroids at the gym….maybe this won’t be your kinda thing.
So if you wanna energise yourself and go out into the big bad world with an extra life to defend from the man eating predators and rampant taxi violence, this shirt is undoubtedly the one for you.
