Ode to Makosi

Some lunchtime doggerel because it's lunchtime:
"No-one has ever witnessed such a wonder as Makosi.
Oh, blessed be the red Harare dawn."
For nigh eleven weeks she kept Big Brother viewers cosy
in their homes while she'd perform jacuzzi porn
then claim a phantom pregnancy, and in the self same breath
tell someone else how she was still a virgin.
Oh, woman of the wobbling weave with six wigs underneath:
How many ruses might you dare imagine?
She left the BB house to boos that shook my telly's cathodes:
She told a magazine those boos were fak-ed.
But no-one boo-ed Derek for his double dealing methods,
nor Orlaith with the game plan, "Just stay naked".
They boo-ed her because of all the porkies that she spread
and talking of herself, always third person,
"Makosi is the rarest gem! A star so far ahead
of Halle Berry." Might she learn her lesson?
(I don't know why I watched the UK's BB 6. A bigger load of old rubbish I never saw. Mind you, I thought it was brilliant at the time.)

but i think the poem's great
Wannabe celebrities, eh? They think they're superstars before anyone's even heard of them.
reminds me of a gal at our local open mic
YEESHE!!!
The thing that struck me is just how much the little princess would have loved knowing that poems were being written about her, positive or negative.
Saw her in News of the World on page three baking in the sun (I did not buy the paper, was a friend, I think or on the train). She's going places.

Brother star 'told to leave UK'
Big Brother contestant Makosi Musambasi says she has been given notice by immigration officials to quit the UK.
The 24-year-old from Zimbabwe said her working visa had been curtailed after she left her job as a cardiac nurse to appear on the reality show.
Ms Musambasi has 10 days to lodge an appeal. If it fails, she must leave the country or face being deported.
The issue came to light after police stopped her for not wearing a seatbelt as a passenger in a car.
Immigration officials questioned her on Monday over whether she had broken the terms of her visa.
Ms Musambasi was previously granted a working visa for her job as a cardiac nurse at Wycombe Hospital, Bucks.
Her spokesman said: "The legal position is that Makosi's working visa has now been curtailed, which means she has to either leave the country or appeal."
He added that Ms Musambasi consulted an immigration lawyer as soon as she left the Big Brother house.
Ms Musambasi, of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, was quizzed at Staines police station in Middlesex after she was pulled over on the M25 in Surrey while travelling as a passenger in her sister's car.
A spokesman for Surrey Police said: "Police stopped a car on the M25 near Stoke D'Abernon at 5pm yesterday on a driving matter.
"A 24-year-old Zimbabwean was then questioned by the immigration services which is now dealing with the matter."
Ms Musambasi came third in the reality show behind Anthony Hutton and Eugene Sully earlier this month.
Her sister, Veronica, said Ms Musambasi entered the show in the hope of flying their mother to South Africa for a life-saving operation on a tumour behind her eye.

Because of immigration laws, she won't get paid for any of those tabloid interviews she did after leaving the BB House, I understand. I feel sorry for her, really. Oh, the folly of a desperate charge for fame. Really, thank heaven for talented people such as Ed who are prepared to risk everything to preserve their gift: Surely, they're the binary opposite of Makosi, someone who is ostensibly talentless but who would lose all, in pursuit of the cameras.
i hate television. . . and i sort of hate computers too, but not people, so you know it's a catch-22 for me out in the boondocks.
i can't watch it anymore, it is numbing, not just to the mind but to everything else in me, until i see some shit like johnny cash on columbo and then i want to hurl the television out of the room . . . but i don't, i just turn it off, and go, well, yes, that's why my parents wouldn't buy one, those crazies.
so . . . i have seen one episode of rescue me about these firefighters and that was pretty good, pretty much right on target for most of what i know about firefighters, god love em, i know i do.
A: Yeah, we'll get the dog food then we'll go back and watch this week's show.
B: Yeah, I wanna see what happens next. Last week's episode was killer.
C: Yeah, I love coming around to your house to watch it.
A: Yeah, we noticed that. You like, come round every once a week to watch it.
B: Yeah, you like our burgers too. You ate mine last week.
C: Yeah, well, my mum and dad are cranky blummin' weirdoes. They won't have a bloody telly in the house. They say it's evil.
A: Yeah, that sucks, dude.
B: Yeah, are they vegetarians too?
C: Yeah, worse luck. How'd ya know that?
B: Yeah, well, eating my burgers every week as well as your own is the giveaway. And taking seconds when my mum offers.
C: Yeah, well, you know how it is.
B: Yeah. You got a dog too?
C: Yeah. I mean no. Got some cats.
B: Yeah. Are they vegetarians too?
Friends is the only thing I laugh out loud to. Ever.
Except those kids talking about vegi cats...
The funny thing is, once a month or so, I am forced to work out of town for 4 or 5 days. I get to the hotel, turn on the tv, and realize I am not missing anything. The only thing I like is discovery chanel...documenturies rock
And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key
Peely died last year.
for what I hear and see.
My name is Chance the Gardener.

The infamous "John Peel Sesions" with Nirvana occurred on October 26, 1989, and 0ctober 21, 1990. They included some amazing tracks Dementia 7 (very rare....you might find it as a download as D7), Love Buzz, About A Girl, Turn Around, Molly's Lips, Polly, Heartbreak (for som reason often called Heartbreaker). Bleach was released in 1989, June I believe.
Peel didn't actually discover Nirvana...thats actually a fairly interristing story involving the drummer from the Melvins. Anyways, the only major band Peel actually discovered (and this is only to the best of my knowledge....I could be wrong) was Machinehead.
None the less ISN, yeah, great man. Maybe not a pioneer of music, but definately one of the more significant figures
