ridin' of which

Wendy James sent me an email about the recent (second) launch of her novel.
She also sent me a link to Gizoogle, which transizlates urls or text into rap speak...
Ridin' of which, we had a second launch yesterday in old hometown (arranged by very stoked brotha in law) so tha review was a bootylicious way ta S-T-to-tha-izzart tha day dogg. tha launch itself was a bit of a hoot -- lots of rellies -- mah dads elderly aunties (who i aint seen since we lived in bourke, almost 30 years ago) came & all mah husbands very very big family where the sun be shinin and I be rhymin'. tha speech was delayed, coz a few of tha blokes had ta go n wizzatch tha cox(?) plate being run (it was held at tha rsl), tha fellow who launched tha book n gave tha pizzle away (mizzuch gang bangin' frizzay tha audience) n we out. all tha shawty children behaved in a completely feral drug deala hatin' no respect fo` tha sillies mak'n speeches. good fun. tried hard ta git smashed afta, but am runn'n out stamina.

 
Meanwhile: Rich period detail and a humane realism inform this stunning debut.

I especially like the "shawty children behaved in a completely feral drug deala hatin' no respect fo` tha sillies mak'n speeches" bit -- they were dealing in bits of chewed up sandwich & biscuit, actually....

And thanks fo` tha link, Miss B.

And we dare disnont mention tha pizzle.
Coz ta give tha pizzle away is tha worst thing in tha world.

The bookies if the favourite storms home?

(Somehow I managed to miss one of the great racing moments. I forgot)

I'm hoping the GG drops by before next Tues with some tips. (ie 2nd and 3rd place - I hope the Diva wins)
Don't care if tha GG gives tha cup pizzle away ;)
