Ten monsters arrive at once. One of them is invisible. Kevin has eight tentacles. The Mayor has house rules. What could possibly go wrong? By Peeling Potatoes – Janita and or Fruitloop, not a monster and The Mayor, aka Frank. A monster (the jury is still out on that one.) It was 11:50 p.m. and…
I sent Uncle Frank to the Kingdom of Backwards to test his manners. He responded by dismantling the kingdom, arguing with the toaster and threatening a fish. Somewhere in the wreckage, we accidentally discovered what politeness is for. By The Mayor (Sorry, Uncle Frank) & Fruitloop (Sorry, Auntie Fruitloop). At our Lunch meeting the previous…
Created by the President of Fruitloop University, Pineapple Editor, Fruitloop, also known as Janita and improvised by the Vice President of Fruitloop University, Pineapple Publisher, Mayor and occasionally referred to as Frank, when he did something normal. So, yes, this is absurd nonsense…until…. Fruitloop planned five simple Olympic events. The Mayor responded by inventing committees,…
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,…
Fruitloop sent me to investigate five impossible objects. Somewhere between a square bubble, a silent alarm clock and a shoe from the ancient world, the whole thing became less about answers and more about what we do when there aren’t any. By The Mayor & Fruitloop Fruitloop looked far too pleased with herself. This is…
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…
