Short but Sweet!
Hey, Hey, Hey its Fat Albert! Sike its me Action again.
Sorry for the intro but this weekend I realized how old I am. Of course the Mackaliscious one looks like a fine tuned turbo charged Afrocentric engine but age wise is another story. Today we were sitting at the dinner table as we do everyday and we were talking about the good old days. I was reminising about when I used to have my purple bike with the high handlebars, banana seat with the high seat back complete with the Acme loud speaker on the handlebars that made ambulance, police and fire truck siren noises. And lets not forget the CB mouth piece for amplifying your voice through the speaker. I was one bad Motha … (watch your mouth!) leaning back on my bananna seat pretending I was officer Poncherlo from the tv show CHIPS. My moment of glory was shot down like the average guys who asks my sister to dance at the club! (resumes required to dance with my sister and send them to me first for approval!) Denise one our team members has no clue what CHIPS, Hammy Hamster, Automan, Matlock, Green Acres, etc… is!! Can you believe that. We were shocked. Its bad enough she is the last to get out of bed everyday and disrupt our communal breakfast but she doesn’t know the classics and now treats us all like geriatric patients. Now I know how Teddy Bear (a.k.a. pops) feels when Andy asks his crazy questions yet loveable questions. Ahh Andy! Stay tuned for more episones of “Everyone Loves Andy!” I’ve got lots of material.
Today we played dropped the uncle and basketball with the kids. I have lots of pics and I promise to post them soon. Right after I recover from my minor concusion.
Well sorry to cut this short but the Gustapo is rushing me to leave now. Until nextime….
Keep Bouncin
and do you remember this one “Be nice clear your ice” (Denise doesn’t)
Peace
Action Out!

Hey Doo - Glad to see things are going well. Here are some helpful phrases in Bemba just to completely confuse the kids you are trying to convince that you are not Zambian.
1When the kids are running towards you or flying through the air in some marshal arts kick, you can say, “Arnold mukali, kalwe nankwe!” (“Arnold is a warrior – attack him!” - Sorry Arnold)
If this doesn’t work and you find yourself fighting for air with a million kids piled up on your chest and you want to say something like, “Uncle” or “Okay I give”, you could perhaps try to win their sympathy by saying “Nala lila” (“I’ll cry”).
That’s it for today’s helpful … or not so helpful tips for conversing with Bembas!
Can’t wait to see the photos – I am soooooo jealous. Just remember – there are only three species in the world that will hunt for fun, even when they are not hungry – man, hyenas and MAMBAS!!!!! Take care, fiOna
