while dancing inmates may not be the latest hot thing, we still think they’ve get a much better grasp of what’s “in” than many. humane rehabilitation might not catch on too quick (’specially not with the bush regime) but we think they might change their minds after seeing how many people they can pluck out of criminal society and throw into the professional dance industry.
lapsap and twilight action girl. self-proclaimed brother and sister (in tag’s case, we’re not too sure of its gender. trannie, perhaps?)from different mothers it was bound to happen. and hooo boy, have we been waiting for it.
as they patiently wait for bar sonic (their new residence) grand opening, the boys/girls have not been idly growing moss. tag and the regular indie cindy’s partied hard at cloth&clef last friday and on the 10th are going head-to-head at the beloved palate palett.
we’d say “see you there” but not just anyone is invited. as usual, limited to the first 300 kiasu people to rsvp. mail your grovelings to lapsaplapsap@gmail.com
from the superheroes themselves:
Mr Lapsap – originally referred to as Lapsap, is a fictional comic book superhero co-created by artist mr HAMSAP The character first appeared on a lapsap’s t shirt that caused a stir in a local urbanscape. Mr LapSap’s secret identity is that of brothers 5ft and Mr Puah, one short, one tall. Both of them train themselves to sonic and hearing perfection and don a human-themed costume in order to fight crime. Mr Lapsap operates in the non-fictional KL city, assisted by various supporting characters including his sibling Twilight Action Girl and his captain Adam M, and fights an assortment of villains influenced by the characters’ roots in the ever loving industry. Unlike most superheroes, he does not possess any superpowers; he makes use of detective skills, science and technology, physical prowess, and intimidation in his war on crime.

Twilight action Girl – a member of a fictional, all-female tribe of Indies who are sent to “man’s world” as an ambassador. Among the people she is known as “RIBUTCHASEYBUNGAXU”. in “man’s world” she takes the secret identity of “INDIE KING.” Her powers includes drinking whisky neat, shifting from indie to rock with a flick of a finger, and sometimes (during the 1980s and 1990s) flying. She also makes use of her talent versatility to write for the newspaper at times, takes mental photographs, plans in an ad agency and also once in a while, mucks around peoples’ hair and makes a quick buck.
look who dropped by for a quick stint (to plug the gaping chee wee-sized hole).
shown here circa “wayyy before your time” we thought to let the picture do the talking while we do the laughing.
any industry person worth their salt will immediately recognise old-timer scenester, skateboarder extraordinaire and all-round creative guy also known in some circles as raksasa mahluk asing despite his NKOTB hairdo (though they might be before your time as well, you foetus).
after many moons of shuffling feet, shifty glances and red faces, management has decided to *drumrollllllll* reinstate the toilet rolls, my preciousssssssssssssssss.
we cannot contain our excitement we feel about the little joys in life. not having to count our sheets. not having to wait for the oportune time to take a… breather. not having to run out of paper on the royal throne.
and the best bit? luxurious 2-ply. no more sandpapering our nether regions.
we’re living the good life, baybeh!
so great britain has decided to scare its smokers into sensibility with oh-so scary graphic images on ciggie packs. the usual ’smoking will kill you, rot your teeth, clog your arteries, kill your babies’ approach has been long adopted in thailand, australia, brazil, canada, india, new zealand, singapore, venezuela, and uruguay.
cigarette prices in malaysia have more than doubled in the past decade, the little increments spread over time desensitised these nicotine addicts and bred a new ambivalence to price hikes to complement the indifference to health risks.
will a similar approach here deter smokers and first-time adopters? are consumers unaware of the dangers and long-term complications? what would prompt smokers to go cold turkey or at least cut back?
maybe we’ll find the answer, hopefully in this chain smoker’s lifetime.
