The Golden Guerba Awards

 

 
After spending 24 hours a day with each other for five weeks, you get pretty intimate with each other. You learn of the good and bad, the sedistic and evil, the kind and gentle, and the kooky and zany. All these redeeming quirks and qualities deserve awards dammit! And so the last night, during our group dinner, a mere two days before the Oscars (like they even compare) the Golden Guerba Awards were handed out...for better or worse...

Zana

Narcoleptic giggling Contortionist Award - for being the only passenger who could possibly fall asleep hanging over the side rails of the Beast with both legs behind her head, only to wake up in a infinite fit of giggles after glancing at Ian. Who could blame you?

Kylie

Filthy bitch Award - for being the Dirtiest minded, Animal sex loving, gossip hound who can't keep her hands off Ian in the tent after 10pm.

Denise

Luvy, Come on you Mob Award - A close runner up to the Filthy Bitch Award, given for stereotyping Australians as loud mouthed, over bearding, whinging, hug crazed, lovable sleeping bag marsupials.

Emma

I'm British, Dammit, and You're going to Know it Award - for making sure to point out 10 billion times a day that the universe is Britishcentric and marmite is the only possible British invention that can save the world

Deb

The Florence Nightingale Award - for noble volunteer work in helping truly sick passengers by whipping out stolen hypodermic needles and unlawfully distributing illegal narcotics to cure middle aged women's hangovers.

Franca

Guerba Sous-Chef Award - for acts of grit and determination in continuing to open the Mystery Meat every lunch for the simple feat of appeasing George.

Rene

Saturday Night Fever Award - for his inspirational, Travolta-like dance moves on top of the Explorer's Club tables.

Sean

The " Nice Guy" Award - For his smooth talking, sleazy slick womanizing moves on the Zimbabwe women while defending himself by claiming all guys would have done the same thing by sucking face with a strange woman and refuse to pull her hand out of his pants. It's chivalrous after all

Ian

Most Likely to Star n a Porno Winne the Pooh Film Award - for sketchy libido driven actions at the Silver fox, picking up women with his patented spastic Teddy dance moves, then coming home to Kylie to brag.

Gaye

Big Bad Belcher Award - For posing as an innocent young girl then ripping off the most gargantuan gas passes this side of Malawi.

Wendy

Hip Hop Mama Award - for dancing around like a wild woman, pots and pans in hand, feeling the after effects from drinking copious amounts of Amarula.

Dan

Rommel Rover Award - for popping up out of the roof of his land rover, binoculars in one hand, video camera around his neck, 35 mm camera around the shoulder and right hand rigidly pointing forward directing the land rover ambush towards the net unsuspecting African fowl.

Celia

Mother Theresa Award - for being the sweetest, most loving, innocent white haired saint who exudes the most proper lady-like demeanor while keeping us all from straying into the evil seductions of sex, drugs, and rock and roll - NOTYou're just as bad as the rest of us!

Alison

Dar es Slushy Award - After maintaining the innocent little school girl act for most of the trip, out winner let loose downing alcoholic slushy after slushy falling into a drunken stupor like no other, then proceeding to pussy foot all around the beach singing and dancing Aussie folk songs. Alison, we would have never guessed.

George

Super Teenie Bopper Award - mild mannered cook by day, when our winner turns his cap around and dons the cool-ass sunglasses he transforms into Super George - the 11 year old looking all night Zanzibar partying super hero who claims only to need three hours sleep to properly prepare breakfast the following morning.

Danny

The "How does this work?" Award - for not being able to figure out how the showers work on th second half of the trip and have to recruit a willing blonde British passenger to aid him in turning on the water. Guess he got more help than he bargained for.

Rory

The Guerba Economist Award - for realizing that by weeding out certain passengers - by braking their hands with tables, attempting to knock them off the roof seat by driving under trees, or generally reducing certain passengers to tears in an attempt to inflict psychological damage, he can increase the per capita kitty dollar amount for the remaining passengers and eat out more often. This also supports his growing alcohol problem.

Marcelle

Prissy-Ass City Girl Award - for coming to Africa for her very first camping experience, bringing 8 tons of cremes, makeup, and lotion (because that was obviously on the Guerba preferred list), failing to realize that eggs turn into chickens, the top of the truck is not the proper place to pitch a tent, and not matter how hard she flirts with Sean, no Canadian is going to go psycho enough to take her up. Try the other North American, Marcelle

Joshua

The Number one All-American College Boy Award - For his sense of patriotism, his fog horn voice that we hear first thing in the morning at last thing at night, for his creative and imaginative practical jokes, and his devotion, loyalty and admired love shack you share with Sean.
