    WHAT IS YOUR ULTIMATE FAVOURITE UNDERWEAR?

     

    Would You Like to Play a Nice Game of Pick the Gear?

    So just for shits and giggles I thought I would throw out this scenario and see what would happen…

    You have to pack for 30 days but you are only allowed one style of underwear; not one pair, you can have as many pair that you want, but they have to be all the same style/cut.

    Do you know what you would pick? Help satisfy our curiosity and vote below by clicking on the t-shirt that matches your choice.

    I am sure that once we are all properly vaccinated and visiting our local gay establishments to enjoy beverages and live-entertainment, this shirt could come in handy with starting some conversations.

    Either way – just have fun with it!

    Cheers,

  • CAN’T SLEEP?

    CAN’T SLEEP?

    Past few days, it has been super hot here. I believe a week now, maybe more, that we have been under a “heat warning” of some form and severity.

    This has led to some sleepless nights for some. Myself included. However, its been argued that I am more nocturnal.

    That being said; what is it you do when you are faced with a sleepless night. I am MORE curious about your answers considering we have been in lock-down for a few “minutes” in many places around the world.

    So…spill it.

    What Do You Do When You Can’t Sleep?

  • IT’S 4 O’CLOCK ALL EVENING…

    IT’S 4 O’CLOCK ALL EVENING…

    That is one of the reasons why I really love living where I do. Mind you, off the mark here that also comes with a disclaimer, my apartment gets very warm, but I love it!

    But what happens all day is that the sun is blocked by other buildings, so I enjoy this beautiful bright day without the heat. Then 4pm’sih hits and the sun moves into its final approach vector to head down behind the horizon.

    This time of day the sun is bright, warm, perfect for a good 20 minute dose of vitamin D and a nap in the chaise. The buildings block the sun so street level is relatively cool as the breeze can start to move up from the beach, and is drawn to the ravine behind my building. This gives “La balcone chez Turnip” the perfect beach weather, minus the beach and the water and the boys in speedos.

    I can imagine…right?

    Nonetheless, it is all perfect, I love it and my plants love it. Then about 7:30pm the golden colours of evening hits. The sound of the city changes. The temperature changes. The heat comes off the buildings now. Not from the suns rays.

    That’s when the urge hits for me; to spin up my HOE KIT E-Class Play List, pour myself a wee glass of port and make some nibbles for the evening. Then spend the evening with all the windows open, the doors to the balcony open, music playing, fans blowing and just unwind.

    Perfect for 1 or 2 people.

    Later, when I get hungry. Like proper hungry. I have the fixings to make some won-ton soup. Some think I am crazy for having soup on a hot evening, but the broth and dumplings fill my stomach and I don’t feel like I am going to explode!

    How do you like to unwind?

  • BURN ME [ Ben Howell Remix ]

    BURN ME [ Ben Howell Remix ]

    It was a number of weeks ago when I stumbled on the creativity of Ben Howell when he released a video on YouTube. He knocked us all over with his remix of Dua Lipa’s Hallucinate and the BBC News intro-music.

    That was all it took. I was hooked. I had all I needed, to know that Ben Howell was one to follow.

    BURN ME

    Performed by: Ben Howell, Venn Smyth

    Written by: Jack Gourlay, Steven Smith

    Taking a listen to this remix of Venn Smyth‘s song Burn Me, with the above mentioned remix still in my mind; I feel a sense of welcoming in the energy. It’s like the “hum of engines” in the deck plates. The kind of energy from music that just makes its way up your soles and into your soul. You can’t help but be drawn in.

    There is an energy in the spirit of what Ben has brought to ‘Burn Me’, that makes me just want to get up and move. I think the term is called “bop”. wink wink.

    Do not get me wrong when I say hum. This is definitely not a sleeper. This is a “throw it on your playlist, get your walking or running gear on, and wiggle your ass down the street” kind of song.

    When you check out Ben Howell’s YouTube Channel you see that he is teasing us with a “Rain On Me” remix….and the wait is killing me!

    [We missed my Summer birthday for a remix release date and I can tell you as sure as heck I am hoping I don't have to wait for my Winter Birthday for this "bop".]

    Clearly, Ben Howell loves music and takes his time with his creations and knows how to get it right. All worth it. I certainly am hooked and look forward to much more.

     

  • WHAT’S THE ‘T’ WITH LADY ‘G’?

    WHAT’S THE ‘T’ WITH LADY ‘G’?

    A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a quick little tweet in response to some of the flutter that was circling Lindsay Graham.

    When “people” engage in this malicious behaviour; make it their “crusade” to make it THEIR business, what we as private citizens do in our own private lives. And it is not even limited to that. They want to make everything WE do their business so they can weaponize it against us.

    We have seen time and time again; men, and women, in positions of power, doing everything they can to hold on to their ability to suppress the rights and freedoms of others. Then, behind closed doors, in dark corners or at private parties; they are indulging and partaking in the very behaviours they admonish, torture and kill others for.

    But when they get the urge for a little “private” time.

    • they have the cash to pay for sex workers
    • they have the best drugs
    • they have the sex parties
    • they have access to abortions
    • they keep their jobs
    • they keep their retirement funds
    • they keep their homes

    Then they tell us that even though the professional position they hold is public office their privacy is more important than ours.

    Well FUCK THAT.

    There’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.

    Justice Minister Pierre Trudeau

    If Graham was just sneaking around and letting his “lady bugs” out to fly and keeping his nose on his own face then it is none of my never mind which consenting individuals he is getting his freak on with. Then sure I agree with you; it would be inappropriate to “out” him.

    Urinals in the Mens Room - Tea Room Culture

    Yet, it is quite the opposite. Politicians and Preachers, seem to the be the biggest offenders and the ones who take the widest stance about what other people are doing in their bedrooms, bathhouses, washroom stalls, change rooms, fitting rooms, doctor’s offices.

    Need I go on?

    If this destructive and malicious behaviour does not affect you; either because you do not live in the USA or what ever the reason is, recognize your privilege and either join the fight against this practice or kindly be quiet.

    This practice in the abuse of power is not limited to just sex or just the United States; yet it seems most rampantly publicized. Be vigilant because it could sneak up on you pretty quick. Look at the horrors that have occurred since Craigslist sex listing have disappeared.

    Either way, I am tired of it and they have to be stopped.

  • EVER TRIED TO GET TOOTHPASTE BACK IN THE TUBE?

    EVER TRIED TO GET TOOTHPASTE BACK IN THE TUBE?

    [vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”3732″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_btn title=”CLICK HERE FOR MASKS BY TURNIP TEEZ” style=”custom” custom_background=”#0a0908″ custom_text=”#f2f4f3″ shape=”square” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fturnipteez.com%2Fcat%2Facc%2Fprotect%2F”][vc_column_text]

    I doubt that you have ever actually tried to get toothpaste back in the tube after an accidental “discharge”.

    It sure as heck wouldn’t be easy that is for sure; and say goodbye to the sexy definitive stripes of gel mixed with sparkles, if you do get it back in.

    [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][adning id=”5751″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1612925860823{padding-top: 10px !important;}”]

    The whole thing sounds like one big mess. Ew.

    This is why you put the cap on your toothpaste tube the second you have finished putting the recommended amount of toothpaste on your toothbrush.

    Am I right?

    That way when you lean into the mirror, to check out how well your pores are doing, while you are brushing your teeth, and accidentally lean on the toothpaste tube, you don’t make a mess.

    So here is where I am going to say something that many of you probably are not going to like. This is exactly the same principle as to why we all need to wear a mask when ever we leave our home and are around other people we do not live with.

    [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][adning id=”5812″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1612925878693{padding-top: 10px !important;}”]

    The EASIEST way for us to protect ALL of us. Move faster towards a vaccine. Reduce the strain on our respective health systems and community projects is to STOP THE TRANSMISSION of the corona virus itself. It is easier for us to prevent the spread than deal with the repercussions of contracting the virus.

    We have discovered that the virus is transferred through respiratory droplets. So, if the fluid comes outta your nose or mouth; it is a potential vehicle for spreading the corona virus.

    We have also discovered that a person with the virus is contagious even when they do not have symptoms.

    Putting on a mask prevents those droplets from escaping and either landing directly on someone or something, that they are going to touch and then potentially touch their face; close to their nose, mouth and or eyes. Also called; TRANSMISSION.

    [/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3743″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]

    By not wearing a mask and being a potential carrier you pose a dangerous risk to others and you become PART OF THE PROBLEM.

    When everyone puts on a mask we drastically reduce the chances of transmission of the corona virus.

    [/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3745″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]

    A drop from about 70% down to 1.5% is DRASTIC. All it took was for everyone to wear a mask. Imagine how many people would not be hospitalized because they never caught the virus because everyone was wearing a mask.

    Seems like a no-brainer.

    Sure they are uncomfortable, sure some of them are hard to breathe through (then you also know that you are not spreading the virus if you are contagious) but by wearing one you are doing your part, to protect all of us and bringing a faster end to this pandemic.

    So you do your part; I will do my part and we will get through this together and faster.

    This song has been on my FAV LIST for a while. Since last summer actually. It has also been part of any moment or routine where I need a boost.

    After first discovering this song during an episode of Whiskey Cavalier. There was a scene that took place in a Ghanaian market place. The market, reminded me of the days when I was in Cameroon staying with my grandparents and I would sneak off to a similar style market to get a Mambo Chocolate bar!

    This song makes my heart happy and my butt wanna wiggle. So it was a great addition about half way though my running playlist.

    But seriously, if you need a pick-me-up, this song is what you need.

    What does AKWAABA Mean?

    All over Ghana, “Akwaaba!” is recognised to mean “Welcome!
