Ja-nee Frikkie - The Brakpan Three Corner


I am not serious about the supernatural, I smaak the Avengers flicks and all that but when I see things stranger than Oom Neels trying to Leeuloop after the Coke with the funny tasting ice cubes dropkicked him harder than ou Stransky did in 1995 I tune into RSG want luister people blerry weird things happen here in Brakpan. I consider myself a septic about the blerry weird things, like my knowing stuff teacher teacher said the science could explain it. I know things in Brakpan disappear, usually to the Cash Crusaders or the bury farm when you tune the wrong goose at the bar but when these things disappear it's usually three times, like a three corner, that's blerry weird. The local Pasteur is speech about it in church, he say the church is also a three corner, a trim-a-tree he say, I know of Trim a Tree garden service, Oom Koos with his son Koos and his heavy Koos, Marie se husband but the Pasteur say it not the same thing. And then the third way things disappear is theft, ja-nee we say niks there. So it started when the load shedding klapped a substation for a six and almal was sitting in the dark for the long after week. I decided to go shopping for more Coke as the funny tasting ice with the brannes melted faster than a freshly filled pothole in the middle of a tar road in Upington on a hot summer day, drink more Coke. I go to the shops with my Maglite, one million candles brighter than the running lights on the front of CPF's Ford Ranger, so I sees things. The first shop I went had missing cashiers, blerry weird ne. The second ship I went had missing pole displays at the till, very blerry weird ne. The third shop I went to was completely missing, maybe because it burnt down maar nog very blerry weird. So I couldn't pay for my in buyings because I could find a cashier, I couldn't see the price of the Cokes and I couldn't enter the bottle store, again maybe because it burnt down. That's when batteries in my Maglite went porridge and the air around me got so cold I could my breathing come out like candy floss. I tune the spirits of Johnnie, Jack, Jim and Captain straight, 'sorry okes.'
But that, as they is the tip of the ice cube because blerry weird things happened again the next week and again the next week. I looked on the interweb about this three corner story, apparently America sommer has two, China, some plek in Canada and now Brakpan. The other septics think it has something to do with aliens using magnet chips to gain illegal entry but I know niks about Home Affairs. Other septics think it's the UFO, I frequented the UFO as a laatie, best dagwood of any roadhouse in the dorp but they went out of business back in 1993 so I don't think it's that. Anyways plenty mense on the interweb think it's blerry weird too. Ja-nee, true story.
