I'll be in the newspaper next week...........

[Trevor]

.......... but hopefully not in the Criminals Wanted section. 

On the 19th June, we're honouring pioneers in our film industry as we did last year and I have to introduce each honoree and tell the 200 or so people attending a little something about each. Three of the honorees are friends of mine so it will be great to see them again.

Thus, with new underpants supplied by Conan, shirt pinched off a washing line, socks stolen from someone's shoes at a bowling alley, jacket and tie supplied by theft from a second hand shop, I am ready for whatever comes.

Something's bugging me, there's something I forgot................ooops, my pants.

Well, hopefully the headline will be something like "Noted South African Filmmakers Honored in Ceremony," rather than "Scandal! South African Filmmaker Underpants Debacle!"

Both would be entertaining, but here's hoping it's the first.

It'll just be my luck if it's the second one.

Another possible headline:

"The Dirty Truth About Trevor's Underpants"

NEWSFLASH: UNDERPANTS MISSING AT CEREMONY - SKID MARKS FOUND AT THE SCENE!

The karma function's back, I see, so one for each of you. 

Another headline could be:

ANGRY BLOEMFONTEIN MAYOR DEMANDS INQUIRY INTO RAISING OF UNDERPANTS ON FLAGPOLE: WHERE WAS OUR NATIONAL FLAG??

Trevor to angry mayor: my undies are a national symbol, so what's the problem?"

MAN EXPOSES SELF AT FILM FESTIVAL!!!

Not as witty but still.

[CheezeFlixz]

I just hope they weren't stolen by some dingleberry.

My first mental image was that of Trevor wearing newspapers, but since Conan was kind enough to send three new pairs of undies, I had to click to see what was really happening. Now, the mental image of Trevor in paper undies won't leave my brain.

Karma, Derf: that is a horrific image indeed.

The banquet and honoring ceremony has a lot to do with this:

www.volksbladfees.co.za

If you look on the left of that page, you will see the words ENGELSE WEERGAWE (English version) which will translate the page.

When I last referred overseas friends of mine to an Afrikaans page like this, the reaction I got from one of them ~ "Holy poop on a stick!" ~ was priceless. 

[Trevor]

 

I've just been on that page myself: I wonder what idiot there decided that our film screenings in July were less important than the others and shoved them to the bottom of the page?

I've been in the local paper a bit myself lately...however, I don't normally wear underwear....though I can say, that has nothing to do with why I was in the paper.
