Who the ass does Paul Clarke think he is? I usually desist from cursing fellow entertainers but in Clarke’s case I must make an exception.When I think of Clarke I remember Gilbert Rowe’s statement made many years ago about entertainers having “delusions of grandeur”
Mr Boyce “Why would you be speaking of your Facebook friend Clarke in such an acerbic and contemptuous manner?” You might ask, allow me to expand…

Paul Clarke was one of the originators and owner of an event which is known as the Ragga Soca competition.
Paul had invested his money and staged several Ragga Soca competitions some years ago.
You are thinking, but that’s all laudable stuff Boyce why would you curse a man over that?

Here’s why….
Recently the National Cultural Foundation announced they were staging a Ragga Soca competition, least that’s why they called it at first.
Mr Paul Clarke had the audacity to approach NCF and inform them that he was actually the legal owner of the name “Ragga Soca” registered at Corporate Affairs and NCF was infringing on his rights.
He seemed to think that the NCF would have recognised his investment and contribution and would have paid some kind of compensation to utilize the name he registered.
He seemed to think that taking his “Ragga Soca” event experience into consideration NCF might have had him as a consultant.
Paul Clarke obviously mistook himself for a Trinidadian, he forgot he was a Bajan and therefore would not be eligible to any consultant status, compensation to use his event name or even recognition.
What the NCF did do is circumvent Clarke by changing the name of competition to “Sweet Soca” competition therefore stripping the Barbadian entrepreneur of his rights or any claim to the competition.
Serves Paul Clarke right, who the ass does he think he is any way? freaking idiot, Happy Birthday Paul Clarke from Boyce Voice..

P.S: N C F stands for “No Clarke Funding”

Is this a man or a goat?

In light of the news story report of a goat being arrested for armed robbery in Nigeria    http://www.caribnnet.com/Weird-World/12423.html

I think its time we start looking at goats differently.

While they are some that might scoff at the thought at a man transforming himself into a goat as reported in the news, maybe we need to stop and laughing and think for a minute…

How do you know the goat you have in your yard is a real goat and not a man in disguise? 

 Some time ago Barbadian authorities were on the look out for missing Nigerians,  

Did any one notice our goat population seem to increase dramatically after that?

How do you even know the goats we have down here are not Nigerians who have transformed themselves because they don’t want to go back.

While Nigerians might have problems fitting among Barbadians because of their accents as goats they would have no problem.

You might have a woman and you think you are being horned but you can’t catch her with any one, think!!

Is there a goat living by her house?

You might need to go outside and have a conversation with it. Man to goat.

This is a possible man goat who shares horns

This Nigerian goat incident also has international implications, if a goat can commit an armed robbery it could possibly also engage in acts of terror.Don’t let its democratic easy going grass eating demeanor disarm you these animals are lethalIt’s only a matter of time before these

Furry beasts are recruited by El Qaeda to spreadTerror through out the world. If they are not being used already.

I believe an intense study of goats could reveal the answers to questions which we have long searched for, example where is Osama Bin Laden?

For years the United States have been trying to find Osama and have been unable to, is it possible they have been looking for a man when instead they should be looking for a goat?

Have you noticed that in photos Osama has a long beard much like a goat?

Dos’nt that beard look fairly goat like to you?

Now that President Obama has fully taken over this is a matter that should be bought to his attention.

When Obama spoke of “change” was he aware that men could also “change” into goats? Maybe he did!

With the coming of CSME and the possibility that not only Caribbean people but goats will be able to move freely from one territory to a next, we must watch to see what effect this has on our crime rate.

This should be brought to the attention of PM David Thompson as he is now spearheading CSME.It needs to be researched exactly what kind of “grass” the goats down here are into, they could be goats being used as drug mules. This should be brought to the attention of Police Commissioner Darwin Dottin who might not have knowledge of exactly how criminal savy goats have become.

Obviously what is said above would give you reason to be concerned, How can you tell if your goat is really a goat and not a man that change into a goat?

Follow the below instructions;

Grab your goat’s head with both hands!

Put your face right up to the goat’s, if it has trouble maintaining eye contact with you and is acting like it has something to hide, chances are its a man.  

Call the police immediately! 

Do not attempt to apprehend the goat yourself as they can be dangerous and have a tendency to “butt you out of their lives”. 

While a goat above might look innocent like a little kid, remember you can’t judge a goat by its picture,

This has been a public service goat announcement from PBoyce who assures you, he is NOT a goat…..

Women can also turn themselves into goats, and eat you out of house and grass, see above pic

Boyce Note; 

Congrats to all the winners above, I just have one question?? Who do I have to buse to get an award at one of these damn shows? This is like 2 years now Boyce Voice has been up its time I got a freaking award. Take a subtle hint somebody

Don’t I edify and entertain your asses? thats why you keep coming back, I went on Toronto Lime.com, I did not see any articles on “How to be a whore” nor “How to call a cat and make it come” they call that a website?

They did not curse any body even once!!

Its time that Boyce Voice gets an award, if you dont agree, LOG OFF NOW! Bye!   (Come back tomorrow though)

Jerry Lewis makes another anti-gay slur
Oct. 25, 2008, 8:24 AM EST
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Jerry Lewis made an anti-gay slur on Australian television similar to one he apologized for using on his annual telethon a year ago.

Caught this just now on MSN.com Jerry Lewis again dropping nasty remarks at gays, but not what this post is about lets us return to the remainder of the news release.

Following a news conference in Sydney Friday, Lewis, 82, was asked by a Network Ten national TV reporter for his opinion on the Australian nation sport of cricket.
“Oh, cricket? It’s a f– game. What are you, nuts?” Lewis replied.
The network broadcast the comment in full on its Friday evening news bulletin along with footage of Lewis handling an imaginary cricket bat with an effeminate gesture.

Now that’s where we need to draw the line Jerry, Dropping remarks at Gays is one thing but when you bring cricket into it that’s where we must draw the line…
Where is the connection between cricket and fags? I think they 82 year old Jerry is going off his rocker or maybe at 82 he needs to stay on his rocking chair and shut to ass up.
And wha is dat about handling a cricket bat with an effeminate gesture… Jerry should be aware that he is treading on a dangerous cricket ground, in the Caribbean it is more known that you must be a fag if you DON’T like cricket.
Allow Boyce to take some time pick Jerry Lewis and the Americans breadfruits which hang pretty damn low..
Is Jerry Lewis aware of the practice in his national game American foot ball of the male players slapping one another on their behinds when they score a touch down? That’s why they wear those tight ass sissy pants when they are playing.

Let’s not even speak on how they call the game foot ball but yet spend the whole time running around with the ball in their hands, and it’s not even a freaking ball it’s some oblong thing. Some body should inform Americans that balls are round.
Isn’t it in the same American football that all the male players jump down on one another in a pile supposedly over a ball, those players lose no opportunity to get in contact with one another in a most gay like manner?

Is Jerry aware that his United States of America has the most fag laws you have ever come across? They are now three states in the U.S where men can marry other men legally, I challenge Lewis to come down here and identify a cricket playing Caribbean territory where Ellen can marry her girlfriend.
Mr. Jerry Lewis I would advise you to stop up in Australia and make your stupid comments if you come down to the Caribbean talking yuh shite holding a bat effeminate to prove your point, next thing one of we beer drinking west Indian cricket fanatics hit yuh round yuh fagging head with the same freaking bat and out yuh lights, yuh *gun see.

Cricket is a Game of glorious uncertainties, one thing for certain, IT IS NOT A FAG GAME!

*Gun is used hear deliberately cause if he is in Jamaica he probably “Gun see” for truth
Some parts of this post were written deliberately in dialect so Americans reading it would not know what I mean but would skin their teeth anyway…

In an attempt to prove that I am not intellectually challenged let’s deal with a topic with some political intrigue.

So today instead of Boyce Voice we will be “Boyce Underground”, that’s a totally original name I just came up with.

Have you been hearing about the scenario where the opposition leader Basdeo Panday was banned from the Trinidad sitting of parliament for using a laptop computer while parliament was in session.

I have never heard such igrunce yet; imagine banning a minister from official business for looking using a computer.
As a man who is addicted to using technology myself that is bare c***!
You know how much time I spend at meetings looking in black berries, palms and computers engaged in activity related to the same meeting. 

The speaker of that house needs to be informed we now live in a technologically advanced world
where instead of writing things on paper people now use computers; panday could easily have been preparing his speech for later presentation. 

What you are reading now was written using my black berry, I hardly ever write and the few times I have people tell me my handwriting is atrocious. So I have learnt to use the technology so people understand what I am trying to say.

Enough about you Peter, back to Panday, now they are saying in order for him to enter parliament and participate in the up coming national budget debate, he must apologisé for using the computer, that’s another bunch of c***.

Panday is being forced to apologisé for being technologically advanced. I know Panday is not no sweet bread, but in this case we should see his position.

You would think in a country like Trinidad where the crime rate is so high that members of parliament would have much more to occupy their time than stopping an old guy from using a computer.
*Crap

“I do agree, however, that there are certain Crop-Over events which lend themselves to this sort of partnering. Cohobblopot is one good example of this, and it is certainly my hope that next year we can have enough time to invite tenders for the staging of this potentially lucrative event.” Quote from Minister of Culture Steve Blackett at 2008 Crop Over Awards Ceremony

Yeah right, where have we heard that before..

While the Ministry of culture speaks of out sourcing Cohobblopot their words and actions don’t add up.

Not taking into consideration their failure to operate above board as it relates to entertaining bids for the Cohobblopot this year, at the launching of the same event it was stated by the cultural administrators they had a 3 year plan for organising the event. That does not correspond to the minister’s statement they intend to out source it.

The question will be asked why would the government give up an event that is profitable when it can generate revenue for it self at the expense of private promoters.
While from the outside cohobblopot 2008 appeared to be successful the question must be asked will that “success” equate to profits?  
We have been hearing of excessive sums of monies that were spent including those on regional and international acts.
We have been hearing how $40,000 was paid to Brian Lara to host the VIP area at the event plus a commission from the door, When it came to Cohobblopot 2008 the regional people can’t complain at all.
All the pay outs kick backs and expenses that we have been hearing about we await to see in the final analysis exactly how profitable Cohobblopot really will be.
As for the minister’s statement of privatisation, with out action behind them they remain mere empty words, lacking in credibility, sincerity or legitimacy.

A Beautiful Bajan Bake 

Greasy Bakes??! Greasy Bakes??!
I could not believe my eyes when I read jdid’s
comment yesterday.
First of all let me say I had always intended to use Usain Bolt’s love of Yams to lead into an endorsement promo blog for bakes, I could not believe when Jdid preempted me not just by mentioning bakes but mentioning them negatively It is because of people like Jdid that Bajans can’t get no way! Jdid if you are reading this log off now… In fact anybody who does not like bakes should log off Boyce Voice and don’t come back! Anti Bake attitudes will not be tolerated!

They are people out there professing to be Bajans masquerading as Bajans but are really Bajan wanna be’s.
People who though born in Barbados show extreme anti Bajan tendencies. That is why we now have a national event like Cohbbblopot that now featuring American rappers.
because of people who lack cultural culinary loyalty.
Tomorrow I will continue with the second part of my Bake discourse that was so rudely interrupted by the bagel and ham n eggs eaters among us…
In the mean time I rebuke you in the name of the bakes and bun fire pun all bake haters!
..

Usain the Yam eater

What did you eat for breakfast this morning?
If you did not eat yams then you did not eat the breakfast of champions.
That’s what the fastest man in the world Jamaican Usain Bolt eats that according to him helped him to win the 100m race in 9.69 seconds in the Beijing.
Yams Dumplings and Green Bananas to be precise is the breakfast that Usain eats that gives him that incredible speed.
Usain’s secret is not Powerade, nor Gatorade nor Monsta nor Red Bull! He does not take Ginseng or no Vitamin B injections.
  Usain is proud and strong Jamaican YAM EATER.

So back to you, what did you eat for breakfast? Did you eat scrambled eggs, bacon and hot dogs?
You should be shame…… 
People like you make me sick; you have been ignoring good old fashion “ground provisions’ and eating all sorts of processed food.
When was the last time you eat piece of green bananas? When was the last time you eat a dumpling? Do you even know what a dumpling is?
Some of you have not eating been eating breakfast home but not waiting till u get work and having coffee and bagels and doughnuts and all sorts of igrunt food.
That why you can’t run to save your life… stop reading this now get up from your computer run out in the road and come back…..!

See how out of breath you are? That’s all the bagels, egg yolks and pork bacon keeping you back, choking your heart.
You need to start eating Yams, Dumplings and Green Bananas. You letting the Americans fool you into buying all their commercialized processed health products and ignoring our indigenous Caribbean roots. Its time to reverse that process, Eat a Yam today, Run fast tomorrow!
If it’s good enough for Usain Bolt it is good enough for you!

Picture of Yam and Sweet patato for people who play them aint know

Woman digging Yams, the exercise of harvesting them alone will make you fit….

Boyce Note: Be carefull with the Yam eating as it is not good to increase your speed at every thing… if you know what i mean… A word to the wise is enough

In September 2007 Pyramid Entertainment became the first entertainment company from the Caribbean to sponsor a music truck at Labour Day Carnival in conjunction with Mount Gay Rum. The 40 ft truck set the Eastern Parkway ablaze with performances from some of the Caribbean’s leading soca entertainers. Alongside the Pyramid line up of acts which included Lil Rick, Peter Ram, Biggie Irie and Barry Chandler, was soca queen Alison Hinds, Omar Mc Quilkin and Tizzy from the El A Kru band, Antigua. Also on board was Bajan born, New York based deejay Dahved Levy and AJ Calloway (formerly of BET).
The truck attracted significant media attention as it proceeded along the carnival route of the Eastern Parkway in high visibility to the more than 1 million spectators and revelers who attended the Labour Day celebrations.
This year, Pyramid and Mount Gay Rum will once again join the Sesame Flyer’s band as it celebrates its 25th year in the entertainment business as one of the largest mas bands in New York.  Sesame Flyers not only boasts over 1500 revelers but has won the title “Band of the Year” for ten consecutive years. Sesame Flyers International remains one of the most highly respected community oriented organizations in New York and recently made yet another unprecedented step when it launched Sesame TV, an online television programme featuring some of the work of the organization and its affiliate companies. 
Following on the success of their hugely popular hits at Barbados’ Crop Over this year, Pyramid artistes will join a line up of other hugely successful Caribbean artistes on the branded music truck to entertain their fans and promote their music. 
Pyramid is proud to be associated with the Sesame Flyers band as it celebrates its 25th year in the entertainment industry. “We are heartened by the professionalism of this organization and welcome the opportunity to celebrate with them under this year’s theme “Caribbean Heritage.” Music is enjoyed by people of all nationalities and the opportunity to perform and promote our music during this prestigious year for Sesame Flyers will undoubtedly further fuel the harmony, integration, diversity and unity amongst all Caribbean people. The alliance between Pyramid Entertainment and Sesame Flyers is a true demonstration of Caribbean unity and has greatly expanded the promotion of our artistes beyond those which were previously utilized during the Labour day celebrations,” says CEO of Pyramid, Santia Bradshaw.
