Waiting
for Godot
The
latest from Satellite's abode is that the star-gazers have been hard
at work. They have told Madam that 10 days after the sighting of the
full moon in April, the stars will favour her and that she would have
complete control. To go with the predictions, the soothsayers have
presented a ring. Now everyone in her own camp and the governing ones
are waiting with bated breath to see what transpires after the full
moon.
Sporty
Boy
The
ministering angels have not been known for celibacy. If at all, it has
been the opposite. There have been the types caught in the office
mid-stream and others writing loony tunes on official letterheads. The
latest in the long list is the Sporty One. The story has him in a unit
with a songbird famous for her village damsel tunes.
The
pairing became public when the two took a trip to a sacred place, we
hear. While the songbird has steadfastly denied any union, a small
bird whispers that the other party confesses that it is all a case of
love and not lust.
In
the midst of chuckles, one wisecrack in the Sporty Ministry whispered
that lust and love aside, it is a case of craving for village
delicacies. "After much ham and bacon." Hmm...
De-manning
In
a case of mistaken sex, Pre-eena, the media sec for the all consuming
one was turned into a woman last week at the House by the Diyawanna.
During the debate on price control methods, Mahinda Amare, the
backbencher from the opposite side was going after the consuming one's
staff and the smackers they earn. Referring to Pre-eena, our man said,
"you know who that is, that is the wife's niece."
The
so-called niece has been seen at the same house in shirt, trousers and
a tie to go with it. Very much the man unless into cross-dressing.
Amare
may be upset about the smackers, but to de-man the poor fellow was not
called for. Now Jumar is Pre-eening himself to meet the Amare. Aha!
Saying
Cheese
Akashi
the Jap hosted Bala, the chief negotiating Tiger for breakfast. And
the wild asses and the shutter bugs were at the meal. But the Jap
shook hands with Bala with quite a morose look. Bad picture and the
shutter bugs wanted smiles. "Last time I did this I was
hacked," came the Jap reply and therefore no smile.
The
no smile attitude has all to do with a local ass writing about shaking
hands and cleansing Tigers.
Sidelined
The
big Red and Blue do has upset many among the blues. One such
character, Dee-lan. His supporters were not allowed into the ground
where the Red brothers were in their numbers. Soon after the meeting
Dee-lan quipped, "There are no questions, we are already taken
for suckers by the Red brothers." So there!
