Well Known Bloggers And Little Known Facts

You probably didn't know this but:

1. Electra is one of only three people in Sri Lanka who know the recipe for the yellow sauce on Elephant House hot dogs.

2. Dominic Sansoni is scared of fridges, except Electrolux ones.

3. VIC was a ball boy at the Wimbledon Mens' semi final in 1992.

4. Four years ago David Blacker was mugged by a gang of dwarves in Yala, block two. They stole his wallet. They've never been caught.

From this point on, I will be Electra's slave for life in exchange for the recipe.

I am not saying anything about that sordid Kylie affair! It was a traumatic experience to say the least! ;)

I heard JJ was originally offered the part on condition he shaved his beard to just a mushie - but he would have none of it (being the principled sort of chap)..

talking of red trishaws - why does Alutgama have only red trishaws other than about 4 green ones - this is what I noticed driving thru yesterday..

Rehani said...

Who is Rehani? Haven't seen d blog? He He.. Society shud read my blog carefully. Every blog is by NB? Dats funny.

Anyways, except Dominic Sansoni and David Blacker others don't qualify 2 d "well known" title. How can anonymous bloggers B well known? Technically speaking they aren't n dey can't be !!! Disagree with u RD. DS n DB deserve, others don't.

Ha ha ha about the Recipe for hot dog sauce.

If you are there around the time it is made they actually are more than happy to show it to anyone.

Dee - No the recipe must be kept alive!

TMS - I think you'll have to join the queue. It was one of Kylie's best songs, don't be too hard on yourself.

Maf - I heard it was JJ's lack of chest hair that did it.

Rehani - I think you may, just may, be taking this a tiny bit too seriously.

Makuluwo said...

LOL. The funniest thing is you might actually be right. :P

Java Jones said...

Hey maf - how the hell did you find that out??? RD's got it bass-ackwards (as usual)- post-nibrass syndrome most likely!

Cadence said...

Good one RD.

Dinidu said...

David Blacker said...

Hello, NB :)

Electra said...

This is really funny, because I actually kind of DO know the recipe!
