Remember this? Why do things like this never happen when I watch QVC?

MC Hammer NOT dead

Oh well...

Rumors have been rampant over the Internet that MC Hammer recently died. Hammer's time?

TMZ has learned that Hammer, aka Stanley Burrell, is very much alive. His rep tells us that someone else with the name of Stanley Burrell died recently, and people have been confusing the two.

We're told Hammer is bringing his career back from the grave by starting up a new website called DanceJam. People can upload videos of themselves dancing, and hammer will critique them and rate your moves.

Silver Surfers and the stuff they get up to...

I have nothing more to add...except maybe the doc should decrease the medication.

"Wads dat yoke?"

Tuesday is usally shopping night for me. Where I live, I can choose from all the major supermarkets but usually end up going to either Dunnes or SuperValu.

Last night, after work, I ventured to Dunnes to stock up on food and other replenishments.

After trapsing up and down the aisles, I eventually got the shopping to the check out. Loaded everything out and the 20-something year old at the till began scanning through all my items.

As I was packing my purchases, check-out person picks up one of the items and says...and for effect, I want you to say this (in your head) in the skangeriest Dublin accent you can think of... "Wads dat yoke?"



In her hand, she was holding a lime. She had no idea what it was. At first, I thought she was taking the mickey, but she had a genuine look of bewilderment on her face.

What was even more baffling was that on the screen in front of her, there were pictures of all the fruit and veg items they sold in the store, so she just had to match the picture to the item in her hand and press the relevant picture.

So, Dunnes staff, for future reference I've inculded some pictures of limes in this post PLUS this one of a cat with a lime on its head, just in case one ever appears like that on the belt.



Just to cap off the bizzare experience, she couldn't contain her laughter when she told me the total cost for items purchased was €69.69...
