is happening this Sunday, at the Warehouse Project, Colombo. Pecha what? Simply put, it’s a kind of slideshow – with a twist. Pecha Kucha is a Japanese word that literally means ‘chit-chat.’ A speaker presents a total of 20 slides, at 20 seconds per slide. That’s seven minutes in total. This takes the suck out of it. Nobody wants to ...

පිස්ස මූ පිස්ස මූ පිස්සු පූස මූ! ♫ Remember that? That was from the opening theme of Pissu Poosa, the Sinhala-dubbed popular animated series Top Cat that went on air in the late ’80s and early ’90s. I used to love that show. I couldn’t wait for the weekly antics of Pisso Poosa and his gang, the misadventures of Sargent ...
They’re everywhere. At rugger matches, movies, nightclubs, pool parlours, coffee shops, plays, fucking Jazz Sunday… Nothing wrong with that, of course. Like the rest of us, they, too, should have the right to pretend they’re cultured citizens. And we mustn’t begrudge them the semblance of a social life they have outside of school. That goes without saying. It’s their obnoxious ...
Pretty self-explanatory. Been a while since my last post here. Months, in fact. Thought I’d start blogging again. Not really sure why, or whether I really want to continue. But hey, this is a great excuse to put my new WordPress app to the test and show off my new phone in the process. So, yeah. Edited to add a pic of my phone. Just because.
Understanding that it’s a dog-eat-dog world out there. Coming to terms with the fact that people are full of shit. Realisng that nobody, I mean nobody, will take a bullet for you. And that, for all their claims of undying love and caring, when it really comes down ...
The word on the interwebs today is that some Americans are calling Friday’s earthquake and tsunami situation in Japan a kind of karmic retribution for Pearl Harbour. I can think of only one word to describe these people: motherfuckers! It was just a natural disaster, you morons. Nothing more; nothing less. It wasn’t ‘payback’ for some shit that happened 70 ...
Nobody will do anything out of genuine goodness. Nobody. People always expect something in return. Always. Do I hear a “thank you, Captain Obvious?” in the background? Shut the fuck up, and listen. It’s how mother nature always intended it to be. You give and you take; you take and you give. The moment you cease to give, the only ...
This is something I wrote for a laxative ad a few months ago. I hear it was published somewhere. Will post the link later if I can find it. It’s not particularly funny or anything… The idea was to tell a long-ass story in less than five minutes – to constipated people. Also, please note that this is an abridged ...
I don’t want to get into a religious debate here. People are entitled to their beliefs, without having to be judged or made fun of. And before you go “ah, stupid atheists” on me, this post is not about faith. Faith and superstition, I believe, are two different things. Belief in abstract concepts like an all-powerful creator god (or force) ...
State and corporate-sponsored fantasies aside, do we have a realistic chance of winning the World Cup this year, with our current squad? If the Sri Lanka/Canada match result is anything to go by, and also considering the fact that we’re playing in familiar territory (the subcontinent) this time around, I ...
The Dark Knight: Why so serious? මොකද ෆුල් සිරා ගහල? Pulp Fiction: English, motherfucker! Do you speak it?! අම්මට හුකන්නො, තොට සිංහල තේරෙන්නැද්ද? Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back: I am your father. මමයි උඹේ තාත්ත. The Godfather: I will make him an offer he can’t refuse. මං දෙන්නං මිනිහට බැහැයි කියන්න බැරි offer එකක්. [...] ...
So, I’m on the footboard, and I take out of my phone and hold it up, cuz it’s too dark and the conductor can’t see the change; I drop my phone, to the ground, like a clumsy little bitch. I panic and make the bus stop – a good 50 metres later. I run back to where I suspect the ...
I haven’t. I’m no prude (far from it), and I certainly don’t find Sri Lankan women unattractive; but I have never seen a single locally-produced porno that, to me, was even remotely arousing. What’s up with that? Yeah, this about as good as it gets. “Adults only” flicks don’t count — they’re ...
Note: This is, by no means, an attempt to make light of the plight of real beggars with real problems. It is for the unemployed, lazy-ass bastards like you and I. Say you’re a beggar/bus-singer/performer/whatever with a solid story and documentary evidence to back up your claims to life-long misery. You start at 8 in the morning at the Kesbewa ...
