Know A Bajan – 8 Questions with the Average Joe

Know A Bajan – 8 Questions with the Average Joe

Wanna Get to know A Bajan? Well we will introduce 8! We sat down with a few “average joes” (and a few janes) to ask them these eight questions. Some of the responses were hilarious and some were just…strange… but its all in the life of a Bajan!

1) What is your favourite saying?

2) What is the craziest thing you did recently or ever?

3) What is the most touristy thing you want to do but never have?

4) Where is your favourite place to eat?

5) Name 3 things that make BIM, BIM…

6) Give the funny nicknames of two of your friends.

7) Who is your favourite kaiso artiste?

8) What are your thoughts on Rihanna?

9) Batman, Catwoman or Didi?

 

Name: Detailed Joe

Sex: Male

1) “Ya can’t be unmannerly and ugly at de same time!”

2)- Craziest thing…When Digicel came to Barbados and had their launch concert on the Garrison, I went even though my mother said not to. She went to church and me and my sister went. By the time we got back home, she had us locked out. Left us in the backyard L

3) I wanna catch a random bus and just go off into the country taking pictures

4)  I like to eat at home J. If I’m taking out food, I’ll get from Curbside Cafe (fantastic food) but if I’m eating in, I can work with Bubba’s or Lucky Horseshoe.

5) The language, the sights and the food.

6) Figgy and Vomit.

7) Edwin Yearwood

8) I think Rihanna has made tremendous strides in the international music industry. Even if she wasn’t a Bajan, she’s done phenomenal things. The fact that she’s Bajan just makes it so much better! She’s accomplished a lot of firsts for women and women of colour. It can be argued that she has a bit of a wild streak, but she’s young and living the life she has. I just hope she doesn’t fade into obscurity.

Why did you choose to have Batman as your picture?

You should always be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Then always be Batman.

 

Name: Exasperated Joe

Sex: Male

  1. Cat luck ain’t dog luck
  2. Jump off a cliff
  3. Walk about town in mixed match clothes, slippers and a white hat
  4. Home ‘cause the food is technically free
  5. Bread and two, conkies and snow cones
  6. Cheese and Platinum
  7. Kid site because of the ‘nonsense’ he sings occasionally i.e. “hail who carry away the pigtail”
  8. She living life… LARGE!!!

Why did you choose to have Batman as your picture?

Additional comments: This was a task!!!

Why did you chose to have Batman as your picture?

Name: “I am batman” Joe

7) Red Plastic Bag

8) She is living her life. Who are we (the public ) to judge?

Why did you chose to have Batman as your picture?

Name: Moody Joe

Sex: Male

2) Um try shoplifting
3) Island safari thingy or Staycation thing
4) Lucky Horseshoe at the moment
5) Beach, crop over and that it’s small
6) Ape Man and Woody
7) Edwin Yearwood
8) Very successful but not that talented a singer to be honest (Ouch!)

 

Name: Crazy Jane

Sex: Female

  4. Home because I can lick my fingers.
  5. Pushing to get on minivans / buses which are already over loaded, a bar/shop around every corner and coincidentally near a church, running to fights rather than way from them
  6. Shabba and Fluffy
  7. Red Plastic Bag
  8. I don’t follow her to have an opinion

Why did you choose to have Di DI as your picture?

The hair in two is cute and the fact that she destroys her brothers things is funny…… Kinda like how I imagine myself annoying my brother if I had one.

 

If this doesn’t prove what interesting specimen Bajans are, I don’t know what does…
