TweeBuffelsMetEenSkootMorsDoodGeskietFontein

My friends Marc and Lorraine are both wildly creative people. This is their garden (which is awesome!) and it has a funky sign on the back wall which reads:

"TWEEBUFFELSMETEENSKOOTMORSDOODGESKIETFONTEIN.

It's a sign Marc designed for a TV shoot some time ago, and is based on the name of a real town in South Africa. The English translation of the name is:

Two Buffalo Shot Completely Dead With One Bullet Fountain.

(Many towns in SA have 'berg' or 'fontein' tagged on the end of their names .. meaning mountain or fountain ... go figure!)

It's not quite up there with Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, but it has definite potential ;-)
