20 Apr 2009 The OppiKoppi “Strictly Come Twakkie” Not Quite Easter Festival:

Your Vote Is Safe With Me!!

24th – 26th April 2009: Oppikoppi Farm, Northam, Limpopo
Got Twakkie!?!

He likes fluffy puppies, he likes bright shooting stars and yellow tulips, he likes the smell of fresh stationary, and the Sound of Music.

He enjoys ballet concerts, the art of woodcutting and the original Care Bear’s theme song. He is Twakkie and he is running for the 2009 Presidential Elections for the BIGGEST party ever happening from the 26th to the 28th April at the super awesome Oppikoppi Northam Farm, Limpopo.

Other than being able to pull off some really neat tricks with a yo-yo, Twakkie is able to do so much for you…yes YOU! After a recent pre-electoral press junket, Corné, chief-spokesman for the “Strictly Come Twakkie” party had the following statement on what Twakkie as president can do for you:

• no1.) Nothing actually, but quite a lot upon himself. I know, sounds unfair but that’s just how it works
• no.2) Seriously, he really can't actually do anything for you now... He's a polingtician.
• no.3) Twakkie will give houses to the poor.
• no.4) Just kidding! Of course he won't give you a houses. Not even the guys who've been promising it for the last fifteen years can do it!
• no.4) He will give you the most amazing Easter Oppikoppi in recent mammory.
• no.5) He will bring you bands so hot even Hellen Zimmer will have to unclench her bums cheeks for a moment.
• no.6) He will give you a party so awesome you will wish that you can die just so you can be reborned and come back as your own grandkid years later and hear yourself tell the story of how awesome it was!
• no.6) If you are really really good and you don't give him any shit he will let you buy him, and his amazing best friend for life and chief-spokes-man-in-the-house Corne, a coumple of rounds of spicy liquor at the top bar around about five O'clock Sunday morning.
• no.7) He will see you there.

Vote Twakkie for president!

And remeber if you find yourself at a loss and start fearing for our great leader's victory in this bladdy great battle. If you're running around asking yourself "But can we really do this?" Then to you I say...
 
YES WE COULDN'T!
