How have South Africans reacted to former national hero Hansie Cronje's fall from grace? The Cape Argus ran this lead story on June 5th, and through the power of cyberspace The Skink has translated and explained the Afrikaans.
Cape Town, Tuesday: Was former South African cricket captain Hansie Cronje power hungry or was he a victim of the amount of power the United Cricket Board unwittingly placed in his hands? [He was a greedy little man who fucked it all up for 8 grand of the folding stuff.]

Winnipeg - A Canadian farm woman is still shaking after a crazed beaver attacked her two giant Newfoundland dogs, Bonnie and Billy, pinning them against a fence and savaging them.

Think a prop is something Speilberg roots around with? Think a wing is a birds arm? Think No.8 was the number that brought Seseme Street to you this week? Well, you're right.

Kiwis Issue Direct Challenge to Australian Rugby Drinking Manhood -- An Open Letter To The Skink from Across The Tasman.
Gigolo Warriors Rugby Football Club
New Zealand
Dear Sir,
I am writing to you in my official capacity as Scribe for the International Social Rugby Team of the Year, The Gigolo Warriors.
After competing in rugby tournaments in Poland and Spain over the last two years, the GW's are getting restless again (time to lock up your pets [Baaghh!]) and are keen to locate a tournament within the Australian subcontinent.
Our game plan is based solely on the Zen philosophy of champagne rugby on and off the field.
Given that your literary masterpiece, The Skink, reaches a vast and knowledgeable audience, any details from your classy readers on tournaments later this year would be appreciated. (I also hope some of these words are not too big for some of the punters reading this).
The Gigolo Warriors can be contacted via gigolowarriors@hotmail.com.
Yours in rugby,
The Scribe

Sydney, Friday: A Man In The Street charged with uttering 'Fuck the Olympics' has been arrested by Olympic Security Personnel and taken away for three weeks intensive re-eduction training at a special facility in a bunker underneath Homebush.
There the transgressor will be shown the full 100 days coverage of the Olympic Flame's tour around Australia.
Should the recalcitrant not match the hyped-up enthusiasm shown for The Carrying as Australia's media representatives, electric shocks will be administered.
SOCOG Spokesman Michael Knight, though disappointed heavy-handed measures needed to be used said "No-one's allowed to say 'Fuck the Olympics'. It's against the rules."
"And anyway, we've tried, and the bastard's still kickin."
