This blog is 3 years old today! My gosh, where does time go?
I don’t have much to say about what’s been going on over the last year, I trust that you’ve been reading. For today’s post, I’ve gone through my archives and picked out some of my favourite posts. (Hopefully this should keep you busy for the next week!)
Enjoy!
Archer’s 1st blogversary – Excitement.
Archer’s 2nd blogversary – a bit of disillusionment.
CFA Rules of Engagement - It’s interesting how this post keeps slapping me in the face every so often due to its relevance
Think Pink? Hell naw! – now you all know why I hate pink
A college student’s diet - memories are made of these!
A taste of your own medicine - sometimes I amaze amuse myself.
Fire drills and Pagets - Cheruiyot cracked me up in high school!
Of bathtubs and jualas - It’s such a hustle buying rubber!
Mawuoiiiiiyes Balaa! – My first and last ever Sheng post.
How to get rid of an Unflushable – seems to be a readers’ favourite
A WTF situation – Be careful about how you dispose of your rubber
How to deal with a stupid cop – this was one hilarious experience!
Bar Conversations…Part 2 – This has got to be the most read post in this blog, it was heavily plagiarized on email and on Mashada as well.
Let’s style up tafadhali – I still have mad beef with people who switch to mother tongue mid-conversation in total disregard of everyone around them.
Just keep the seat - I don’t know why I tend to attract weird women
You know you Need a new local when…
What I love and hate about driving in Nairobi, including that ugly Toyota Duet
Mtupa mbao hasaidiki! I have a friend with seriously horrible taste in women. And he’s in town.
I still hate hosting bashes
Why are we so homophobic? – I still think Kenyan guys ought to loosen up a bit.
I really don’t get it! – My ex, so beautiful yet so stupid.
What ill wind blew you into town? – It’s a good thing Obadiah has kept his distance from me.
Let’s cook, with Archer – I pretend to cook sometimes
I would like to thank everyone who reads this blog. Keep reading!
What’s on my Playlist?

Congratulations Archer! Let me go and re-read the funnies.

And what a good read it was!
The paget was deadly! How come I never saw that one before?
The other ones I have trans-nighted on like O-hau down below.
Those people you hosted were just downright disrespectful! Disgusting!!

Now this, good sir, is a cop-out. I, on behalf of the blogren (yes, I do presume to speak for them), demand a heartfelt long post along the lines of the first and second blogversaries.
May 12, 2009 at 9:07 am
Congratulations Arch… and I also follow Mo in demanding a heartfelt long post along the lines of the first and second blogversaries.
May 12, 2009 at 11:38 am
liked the “stupid cop” one. the line that he was a “short sijui what always gets me.
the one of “hate hosting bashes” was also interesting. but seriously Archer all those visangas happened at one bash. hata wewe saa zingine ………………..

May 13, 2009 at 5:48 am
Good stuff, always enjoyed your posts –
even when you are all blogging about your love of Chelsea, although interestingly you often rant against the team sometimes esp. Drogba and Scolari.
Ah that cooking post was a classic, I’m yet to try the recipe though.
May 13, 2009 at 3:06 pm
if I had to pick one I would go with ‘how to deal with a stupid cop’ but you’ve had some very good posts
keep up the writing, we have all enjoyed reading.

Happy Blogversary – May you till infinity consign the juicy-est stories to your home page, may your fountain pen never stop telling it like it is, and may the lords of online make your pages shine with oodles and ounces of ad revenue
Cheers!

Belated congrats on the 3rd Blogversary. great posts as always here’s to more.
June 18, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Hey Archer
Enjoying your blogs. But sometime you really need to explain your whole background. If your family wants you to marry certain Kenyan women, then how come you also hang out (sometimes) in South Africa? And what’s this flipping between shillings and Rand? It’s confusing, ndugu. Where do you belong really?
Anyway, put it all into one of your future blogs. Do the “Evolution of Archer” thing. Then we might be able to kumaizi your life kidogo.

Hey Archer
A couple of things.
I did go back and look at your older blogs. Makes more sense now. By the way, I am really sorry about the problems you had with Afrikaners and their hidden discrimination (or not so hidden) in S. Africa. That sucks. But you know – I’ve met a few of them in S. Africa who are not like that at all. It does vary. Anyway, it’s too bad that that happened.
I was going to tell you … I’ll actually be in Nai at the end of next month. Let me know where you’ll be drinking. Maybe I’ll stop by and say hallo. If I do – I’ll tell you about your mke. That’s right Archer … your wife. Future wife, of course. Think this is ridiculous? Of course you do. You’re single. All single guys think that’s impossible. I did once, myself. But it’s not. Besides, it’s my job to remind wakenya about the truth, every once and a while. And it’s a good thing for you to hear.
Of course, you’ll probably just run the other way once you read these latest comments. But if you get curious – let me know where you are. Maybe I’ll risk my a** and actually come out one evening in the Nai nightlife. Keep in mind that the wakioma keep trying to blow my rear end off. So it’s a calculated risk for me. Then again, isn’t everything in life? ??
cheers,
Bob

Ohhh and a misprint on my last post.
I meant to say “Keep in mind that the wakomi keep trying to blow my rear end off”.
Here’s to cold tuskers and hot mamiso’s!

It is 4 am. I have not slept. MY ribs are aching from so much laughter. My neighbours could be suing me for disturbing their peace with my screams of laughter. I have to go to church kesho morning and expect a visitor at about.m.
THANK YOU !!It was worth the pain, lawsuits, and dozing. You write so well, then surround yourself with people who just at mchuzi mix to an already great feast.
I’m coming back kesho to read the rest – please please please post more and more.
