Was Chuck Berry from Chile?

The good people of Chile speak Spanish in a chewed-up impenetrable way, dropping letters and generally mauling their way through sentences. Como estas (how are you?) sounds like 'comtai?'. One of their favourite letters to drop is 's', which often goes walkabout if it's in the middle or end of a word. Hence, the word 'escudo' sounds like 'cudo', which is worth knowing as it's a brand of beer. When my parents came to visit a few years ago we got into a taxi and I rather stupidly asked to be taken to the street 'Carlos Antunez'. The taxi driver, incomprehension writ large across his face as I continued to ask for 'Carlos Antunez' with increasing panic, suddenly had a eureka moment and exclaimed 'carloantuni?', to which I shamefacedly nodded.

Yesterday morning the ipod threw up Jerry Lee Lewis live in Hamburg for me to listen to. It's a storming set in front of an appreciative crowd. It perked me up no end. It seemed only fitting to do the return journey home to a soundtrack of Chuck Berry, as it had been a rock n'roll day. As I got off the metro to 'Too Much Monkey Business' it struck me that Chuck was actually singing 'Too much monkibi - ni', ditching the s like someone from Rancagua. Could the great duck walker himself be chileno?

The Weigh In

Like Sugar Ray, Amber Shea has a regular weigh in, where she strips off and gets on the scales. Although unable to verbally spar with an opponent she usually contents herself with pissing all over the doctor's couch, thus prompting a flurry of paper towels and much flapping from those in attendance. Yesterday she came in at a mighty 3.9 kilos and has officially moved up the categories from the Baby Hedgehog bracket to Super Fly Tiny Chicken. As you will see from the photo she was later paired with a real bruiser, and they had to be separated for fear of serious injury. Big 'Agustin' had a serious jab and scary haymaker, that could seriously have damaged the Chicken, whose wild jerky punches tended to be upward and erratic. Milk rather put an end to procedings as both retreated to their corners then fell asleep.
