PDA

View Full Version : Given the choice, would you rather be Kikuyu or Maasai?

The Maasai have the music and dancing and warrioring going on, but the Kikuyu get to eat proper grub, not blood and milk.

I must say, I'm finding it quite the dilemma.

The blood and the milk :-(

Do you know what? I might just stop as I am.

Man, I was a wide-eyed youth, fresh to the Dark Continent, and he showed me things which would make your eyes pop out of your head; but he did it with such love and such gentleness that I was almost able to get over the stench of stale milk which surrounded him.

Happy days, j.

My first experience of Africa was being abducted in a souk in Tunis. Thankfully my old man managed to intervene, using his full cockney geezah repertoire like and save me from life as a white slave.

Simpler times...

There was no genital touching, of course. But still.

You could have ended up living in a place surrounded by crazy Allans bent on the destruction of the West.

Instead, you live in Bradfor...oh. :-

Mind you, at least this way you don't have an arse like a windsock. :-)

Many don't. I've seen some Maasai weapons, I can tell you. 'Knobkerrie' doesn't cover the half of it.

Here's a picture of one taking a quick single.

One wonders whether, given that a young warrior is supposed to hunt a lion with nothing but a short spear, they find the padding a little effete.

I'm not sure he's taking it all seriously enough.
