By Fruitloop & The Mayor when, after a week being Janita & Frank, they just want to be weird and do weird things. If you don’t understand, that’s ok. Just join us for the ride. It was raining. Everything was wet. I mentioned this to the Mayor because I thought it was useful information. Apparently,…
Friday morning arrived looking slightly damaged. Fruitloop had the flu. The Mayor felt like a train wreck. Not FLU, obviously. FLU is Fruitloop University, a much healthier condition involving dragons, questionable academic standards and, as it turned out, senior political responsibility. By ten o’clock the bad flu was still hanging around, but Fruitloop University had…
Created by Fruitloop, celebrated by The Mayor as we enter our end-of-working-week ritual. At Fruitloop University, dancing chickens, volcanic spa treatments, militant coconuts and a broom with helicopter ambitions lead me towards a rather human mystery: why we do the things we do, and why being different matters. There is a moment when the record…
By Fruitloop and The Mayor, and it’s ok if you don’t understand. We don’t either. Or? At Fruitloop University’s magical supermarket, a dragon, an alien, a mermaid and a nervous garden gnome discover that the difficult part is rarely finding the answer. It is having the nerve to ask the question. There are supermarkets, and…
A Fruitloop University Thingy, created by Fruitloop and made weirder by The Mayor. Fairy tales with software problems, a dragon with a defective toaster, Dom Pérignon at the customer-service desk, and Fruitloop asking the sort of questions that make a perfectly serviceable brain wander off without permission. Fruitloop had warm South African winter weather. I…
A Fruitloop University Story by the Duo (Janita & Frank) At Fruitloop University, the Mayor is handed four mythical clients, several dietary complications and one very human question: who decided we have to keep doing things the old way? Episode 60. Sixty Peeling Potatoes. Who would have thought? The Mayor certainly sounded as though he…
Fruitloop sent me through five impossible worlds. Somewhere between melting chocolate, mechanical gnomes, argumentative gods and a magic mirror, I discovered that the point was never really to find the quickest answer. A Fruitloop University Story Episode 59 of Peeling Potatoes began with five mysterious doors. This is the sort of sentence that has become…
I opened a glowing portal behind the washing machine and took the Mayor into a world of revolutions, holy socks, suspicious ducks and laundry-basket racing. Somewhere along the way, I remembered how good it feels to simply have fun. “I thought about the theme of the month,” I announced. “Curiosity.” The Mayor immediately prepared himself…
We were supposed to take a creative pause. Instead, I sent The Mayor to the biggest recruitment fair in the universe. We Had Already Lost Count. We began by trying to remember which Peeling Potatoes episode we were recording. I thought it was 56. Then I remembered that 56 might have been last week. Perhaps…
