Tobaski!

Today is Tobaski! Probably. I am typing this on the Friday before Tobaski, so I'm only assuming Tobaski is actually happening November 7. 

Beginning about a month ago, the following message would arrive regularly in my cellphone’s inbox: “Win Tobaski rams for FREE, SMS or call 2011 & get 5 FREE Africell minutes valid for 1 day + the chance to win 1 to 10 Tobaski rams everyday D10 per SMS or call” The messages annoyed me, because I kept being fooled into thinking I might actually be getting a message from a friend. But one day I decided it could be fun to win a Tobaski ram, or ten, so I replied, “Please i want to win Tobaski ram!! Thank you!!!!!” Probably I could’ve sent a blank message, but I thought I should write something just in case. My enthusiastic reply was returned with, “Thank you, your entry to the Tobaski Ram draw has been recorded and you will soon receive 5 Africell minutes valid for 1 day. SMS again to increase your chances.”

Sadly, I did not win a Tobaski ram. Or ten.

Here are photos from Tobaski last year. I imagine the photos I take this year will be similar.
