politics = wrestling?

 

Wrestling has been part of many lives. While some would rather look on disdain upon the culture of sports entertainment, there are many of us who grew up watching hulkamania running wild or Rick rude gyrating his hips or for the younger generations watching Dx, waging a war on wcw.

While many claim it is a mockery of 'real' sport, how many of us have seen diving in football, or weird dancing moves at the end of a touchdown and not cringe at the 'fakeness' of it?


Does wrestling really deserve such a bad rep? The injuries are pretty bad when it happens( the dynamite kid, stone cold..) deaths have even occurred (OwenHeart).

With all this blood, high flying acrobatics and death defying stunts, you would think they would be canonized or sent to a mental asylum, instead they challenge their bodies and themselves to reach greater heights.

So mainstream has it been that some even go on to hold public office. Remember Jesse the Body Ventura? Well he is one such example. With the recent debate on puthucheary being introduced to be an mp, I would like to invite on behalf of the people, Two such icons to become Singapore citizens and represent us. Step forward candidate number 1:

Duane Johnson, The Rock!

Who else can lead the people but the peoples' champion? Bringing it to parliament and laying the smack down on overpaid, head in the cloud, jabroni waanabies , already an A lister , he would definitely be able to move on to become even the prime minister of Singapore. He would need a strong deputy who while enforcing the law, would still keep him in check. Step forward...


STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN. He would let out a can of whoop ass if anyone tried to sue him for insubordination. And heaven forbid if they ask him why he said so. (Do I hear a 'what'?)

All it would take is two years from citizenship and as they have already sweat blood and tears for the people, they would be the perfect people to take over.

So let's give it out for the two.
PM Duane the Rock Johnson
And
Stone Cold Steve Austin

Free Security?













Once again, I have to say how great it is to have a casino in Singapore (technically RWS is off shore:).
Now the government has no choice but to declare the revenues we are getting and thanks to that we have a beautiful waterfront in Woodlands.  The waters around the little coast is beautiful and the area for kite flying and other assorted activities allow alot of people to have fun at different times of the day.
The huge play area with the ropes and the climbing structures are constantly utilised by kids and adults alike. The only thing that bugs me is why is it so close to a remand center? Is it because we have no other place to have the waterfront?

Could it be possible that after the Mas Selamat incident, out gahment has found a long term solution to security. Instead of just relying on the highly skilled security officers and prison officers the area will now be surrounded by civilians who will constantly be on the look out for potential illegal immigrants as well as potential escapees from the center?

Hey, hey I am not condemning the solution, in fact i think its great! As a citizen of this country, I do get bored from time to time. Coming to the waterfront, having fun with my children, or actually watch my children have fun as I wait at the side hoping to get a chance to bring the kids for a walk, observe flora and fungi, fly a kite... (I'm a closet nerd, can't be helped).


Now when i go to the waterfront, i get to be a lookout for the government too. This is my country and being an Operationally ready NSman gets boring during the off reservist time. So this gets the old blood pumping and i am ready to scream shrilly at potential enemies, escapees (anything... I dont care).

I could probably use my Gun - App on the Iphone  and start shooting at them if things turn nasty.
So, thank you Singapore, I love the Woodlands Waterfront!

Dear Employee


 

Dear employee,

Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of economy, Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 40 years of age and above on early retirement. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).

Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to management to be eligible for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination). Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW programme (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Management deems appropriate.

Persons who have been RAPED can only get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).
Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Management.

Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Management has always prided itself on the amount of SHIT it gives employees. Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring to the attention of your Manager. They have been trained to give you all the SHIT you can get.






To all my friends, have a great Dilbert Weekend!
