We painted the town Red, Green, Orange and Blue

The Longhair and I finished the 5 kilometre course in a credible 45 minutes which … [Read more...] about We painted the town Red, Green, Orange and Blue

Hitler reacts to PE Color Run

By

This video is excruciatingly funny - watch as Hitler rants about Port Elizabeth staging the Color Run in preference to other cities, including East London. Now I would normally embed the video for all to see on the MyPE site, but, as it contains a few naughty words you will have to click here - Hitler reacts to PE Color Run - to see the YouTube video in a new window. Why the new window you may well ask - well MyPE was called out a while ago for having adult content (go figure) and I am … [Read more...] about Hitler reacts to PE Color Run
