LET’S ALL GO BANANAS!

Writer: Etienne Janse Van Rensburg as anyone submitted an application for Stanford to run for the Town of The Year award?

I really think we should.

I was watching all the festivities from afar, as I wasn't in town for most of it. The village looked so alive with magical events, wearing her best to impress tourists and friends. It filled my bucket with optimism until I came back.

But more about the award… Who would be the person to submit such an application? I don't know, because it's hard to see who exactly is in charge of what.

There are the ones who think they're in charge, the ones who wish they were in charge, and then the ones that are in charge but don't know if they want to be in charge anymore.

I know for certain that if there was a subdivision called Gossip Town of The Year, that we would take first prize. I for instance hear things about myself from people I know and others I don't know, mainly about things I didn't know about, that was told to them by unhappy people about deals I had no idea I made or did not make. It's amazing and entertaining all at the same time.

Since my arrival in town, I have developed a stiff neck while watching my back.

I had a banana-flavoured Steri Stumpie the other day and while drinking it, I thought of something. You know that the flavour should be banana, but it doesn't quite taste like real banana. Therefore, some kinda banana-ish tasting flavour was added to it. Some things aren't always as the label says, I thought.

It's not as real as you would like it to be. But I guess we'll always have the choice. We can either buy it or eat real bananas.

On that note, have an awesome year all.

Go bananas!
