How a vegetable market can bring joy into your life
 |
| Albert and Linn at their favorite meeting place. The vegetable shop. |
You are a couple. How did you meet?
LINN: We met 40 years ago at a vegetable market. I worked there as a salesman and Albert delivered goods.
That particular day, Albert and I accidentally were locked in the store when it closed in the evening.
That night I taught Albert all about vegetables and after that, Albert taught me all about love.
Since that night we are a couple and we love to explore different vegetable markets together.
Rise and shine, the moon is up
 |
| She is a human night owl |
Are you a morning person or an evening person?
MELANIE: A very difficult question. I work night shifts and get out of bed 8 PM and go to bed at noon, and in that way I have worked for 4 years.
So I really do not know if I am a morning or night person.
Weekends are difficult, not to get out of my daily rhythm, I must be a night owl, also on weekends.
Please help Pia with her mysterious dream
 |
| Pia in the street, still dressed |
What is your most common dream?
PIA: Almost every night I dream that I just like superman throw off my clothes in the middle of the street (I know supeman changed clothes in a phone booth, but I can't find one these days).
I then run frantically around in just my panties, looking for somewhere to hide. But there's nowhere to hide and people are staring frightened at me all the time.
I did ask a shrink what this dream means, but he just smiled mysteriously.
Shrimp stopped dieting
 |
| Nina as thin and as normal. Same girl, different weight |
Are you planning to start a diet?
NINA: A year ago I was thin as a shrimp, and thats in fact what people called me: Shrimp. I was anorexic and totally unaware that I was so thin. I ate almost nothing because I thought I was too fat.
Now I am normalized - and I don't plan to start a diet to lose weight.
But people still call me Shrimp!
Eating dogs is not a good habit
 |
| Victoria fears dogs |
If you had to be a breed of dog, what type of dog would you be?
VICTORIA: When I was a little girl, I was bitten by a dog. Since then, I fear dogs and I hate dogs.
So believe me or not, but I would like to be a big, angry saliva dripping dog that attacks all other dogs and eat them.
Pooh, what a relieving thought.
Some people are busy feeding others
 |
| Amanda thinking of feeding herself |
What is the first thing you do in the morning when you wake up?
AMANDA: The very first thing I do when I wake up is to feed my aquarium fish, then I give the cat some food, go out and feed the chickens, give Fido, the dog, some food, then I wake my husband and give him breakfast, then the customers care coming to my cafe and I give them food.
So this is the first thing I do every morning and then every hour the rest of the day: I feed people (and animals)
The thieves left no trace
 |
| Ewa in the grocery. Her first task every morning |
What is the first thing you do in the morning when you wake up?
EWA: Every morning when I wake up I discover to my horror that the refrigerator is empty! I can not understand how the thieves get into my apartment, they leave no trace, just an empty refrigerator.
So the first I have to do every morning is to go down in the grocery store and buy food. Fill my fridge ...
It's not about dog training it must be a dog owner's training
 |
| Dog training is about training the owner |
How do you train your pet?
JEAN: Me and my husband just got ourself a puppie. The problem with the puppy is that it does not understand what we say. The puppy is eager to fulfill our desires but it can not understand what they are.
Whatever I say it just sits there looking like a questionmark.
I think we have to put our little darling in a dog training school.
A revamped Superman is going to save the world
 |
| Maybe Superwoman is a good choice |
If you could be any superhero, who would it be?
JILL: That’s a question! I’m not fond of superheroes. I think they dress ridiculously. Silly tights and face masks that would not even be good for masquerades. And then that Spiderman, a hybrid of man and spider. Spiders are dreadful animals that should be eradicated from the earth.
Well, maybe Superman would do. He has no face mask but a cape and boots that I could redesign. I like capes. Yes, I would be a revamped Superman.
The more I think of it, the more I like the idea of being Superman. With all those powers I could change the world! I will get rid of all dictators! I will take care of the Global Warming! I will make the poor rich! I will....!!!
That man is grumpy as a bulldog
 |
| George is bully |
If you had to be a breed of dog, what type of dog would you be?
GEORGE: My wife always says to me that I am grumpy like a bulldog and my staff say that I am bully.
And when I look in the mirror I see a bulldog.
The answer is simple. You have to adapt to reality. I AM a bulldog (even if I feel more like a bull).
Every time I called him Elvis, he peed
 |
| Karen and Elton |
What would be the name of your next pet?
KAREN: It is unfair to the animals just to give them a name. We must respect the animals and check their reactions to different names.
Once I had a cat that in my eyes was an Elvis. But every time I called him Elvis he peed. I renamed him to Elton and each time I said Elton he purred.
The biker version of The Emperor's New Clothes
 |
| The biker version of The Emperor's New Clothes |
What is your worst nightmare?
MIKE: As a kid I heard the story about the emperor who ordered new clothes and was scammed with no clothes at all. Stupid people cannot see your new beautiful clothes, said the scammers.
No one wants to acknowledge themselves as stupid so when the naked emperor passed, everybody said: Wow, look how beautiful clothes the emperor is wearing!
But he was naked!
And that is my every night nightmare since I was 7 and heard that story for the first time. I see myself walking around in the nude as the stupid emperor did.
There are different ways to wear an animal fur
 |
| Marion dressed up with some of her dogs |
What is your favorite dog?
MARION: My favorite dog is a Maltese. I like small dogs. They should be so small that I can hide them in my clothes. At home in my house, I have ten little dogs and right now I have five or six of them on me, right here, hidden in my clothes.
That's an early bird by force
 |
| Cecilia is hard asleep every morning when her cuckoo clock alarms |
Are you a night owl or an early bird?
CECILIA: I've got five alarm clocks running with five minutes delay. The first one goes off at 6 o’clock in the morning.
The last one goes of when I am sitting in my car driving to job, just to make sure I don’t fall asleep on the road.
No, I’m not an early bird by habit but by force.
A Picasso for a chameleon
 |
| The chameleon Chubby is close to bursting in front of a Picasso |
How do you train your pet?
MARY-BETH: Some people train their pets to obedience. I don't. I want my chameleon to develop his talents, and his best talent is his sense for colors.
Therefore I take Chubby to various art museums and let him study the colors from the best of the best artists. Chubby favors Rubens, the old artists have dusky and easily imitated color scales. Modern artists with plenty of contrasting colors in their pictures are difficult for Chubby.
A Picasso gives Chubby a nervous breakdown.
Napoleon is his nickname
 |
| Napoleon or Mathias? |
If you could be one person from history who would it be?
MATHIAS: Ever since I was a little boy, I've looked like Napoleon. When we read about Napoleon in school my classmates discovered that I looked like Napoleon and I was immediately called Napoleon. As usual when you get a nickname you first get annoyed but pretty soon you get used to it and accept it.
Nowadays I feel a strong sense of community with the old Napoleon and sometimes I wonder if I'm not a reincarnation of him.

A jumping night mare
 |
| Cindy, why are you trying to jump? |
What is your worst night mare?
CINDY: I have a dream that constantly recurs: I'm standing high on a cliff and prepare myself to do a backwards jump like that from a trampoline.
Then I wake up terrified and soaking with sweat.
I do not know what the dream means, and I do not want to know.
My boyfriend says it is because I'm afraid of losing him!
I will never make that jump so there certainly is no reason to find out what it is about.
