More interviews in the Chilli Contest: Shane
Posted on 19. Oct, 2009 by Mike in Yuppiechef Diary
Today we’re with Shane Dryden, creator of the inaugural Chilli Growing Competition. Here is his entry, as we’re sure you’ll recall, bright and wonderful with a big white ‘backer’ for reflecting more light onto his chilli’s.
We had a few words with him and found his answers intriguing if not somewhat bizarre.
Chilli Comp Panel:Your strategy for winning this contest.
Shane: Biochemical engineering. That’s all I am allowed to say at this stage of the competition.
Chilli Comp Panel: What does that actually mean, ‘biochemical’?
Shane: I haven’t the foggiest. I was pretending to be intelligent.
Chilli Comp Panel: (cough Julius Malema cough cough) Who would you say your biggest competitor is?
Shane: Definitely Dale – she has been known to pull some serious moves and she has a wicked sense of humour. My mom taught me to be careful of people like that.
Chilli Comp Panel: What you are going to do with your prize?
Shane: Seeing as the prize is an entire day off work – I will probably come to work anyway just to show everyone that I am really committed to Yuppiechef. That will score me some long term brownie points which should ultimately work in my favour.
Chilli Comp Panel: Thoughts on the competition so far?
Shane: I am very surprised at the standard of this competition, it’s clear that everyone has done their research and are (sic) well prepared. I feel that gender testing should have been introduced earlier on in the competition, I am a little concerned by how masculine some of the female competitors and their sprouts are looking.
Wow! Perhaps after watching District 9 Shane has lost the ability to be non-prejudiced. Perhaps his mother gave him some stick in his upbringing… who knows? Either way folks, we have a serious contender here in Shane. His Chilli bush is leading the way with almost 7 full sprouts now. Check this picture taken yesterday:
Ok, so some of them look a bit like weeds, but give him some credit ‘a little weed is better than nothing’.
