The Legend of The Village Idiot, Oskar the ostrich

The Legendary VILLAGE IDIOT Oskar the ostrich was

hatched in the backyard of a Durban shabeen in the

decadent 1980s.

Hand raised and bottle-fed a diet of mampoer and whisky

by the local spirit distillers, OSKAR naturally grew into a

raging bar �y, whose antics are still revered and spoken

about fondly to this day.

The life of the Durban party scene, gaining a reputation as

a general ru�an, relentless womaniser, and joker – who on

more than one occasion got into bar brawls over his

alleged long neck drink-stealing technique. In such battles

his speciality was the �ying “Karate Kid” round house kick,

which was as e�ective as it was spectacular.

Being the free-spirit that he was, OSKAR decided to leave

Durban to sample the Cape Town Nightlife after losing a

drunken bet that he could make it there on foot,

racing his friend Blikkies on his XT 500, in under 10 hours –

the numerous paternity suits he was facing was probably

also a contributing factor to his decision to re-locate

unexpectedly.

OSKAR surfaced a few weeks later in a friend’s Loop Street

bar, where his heavy drinking sessions, idiotic antics and

outrageous dance moves, which were often mistaken as

primitive mating rituals, caused his legend to grow.

It is rumored that, in this very spot where you’re standing

right now, OSKAR found his blissful place in the sun. Legend

also has it that he still makes an appearance from time to

time, in the shadows, when the music is right and the

whisky is �owing.

So if your head feels a little sore in the morning after

having a good time, it might have been the booze … but

maybe, just maybe, it was a roundhouse kick from OSKAR

as well.

Here at The Village Idiot we raise our glasses to the foolish renegades, the

adventurous idiots and all the people who refuse to live life by the rules of normality.
