Little did 90’s Scottish Radiohead wannabes know Geneva that they had a huge fan in the second most populous city in Switzerland. So obsessed with them was this chap, especially with their sophomore album Weather Underground which was considered to be a lot more cohesive than their debut, Further, that he played the CD to the city council at their xmas party after a few absinthes & an overwhelming majority agreed that’s what their city should be called.
For the nearby lake, they had to travel further afield. To Wisconsin but, to avoid any legal litigation, they cunningly switched the words “Geneva” & “Lake”.
Known for its conventions & predilection for trying to create black holes by crashing itsy bitsy bits of matter together in it’s large colander it’s also home to the Jet D’Eau which literally means the Jet of Eau.
Officially billed as an iconic symbol of Geneva, it’s actually a large leak where the Rhône flows from the lake.
Since the late 1800s the city has been unable to find a reliable plumber who can seal it fully having even contacted the Mushroom Kingdom to ask the world famous Super Mario who was more interested in collecting super mushrooms and throwing fireballs at stuff & rescuing Princess Peach.
As a stop gap they even tried recruiting a little Dutch boy but they were all otherwise engaged at dykes around Holland. Until it’s fixed, the Jet of Eau continues to dump a heck of a lot of water back into the river which, if left unresolved, will eventually overflow.
But who knows? Maybe this can be solved as Geneva is the birthplace of very powerful & all round nice, witch, Bonnie Bennett. Although she is reluctant to take on the task as she has already managed to kill herself twice from overuse of magic. Once in the second season & again in the fourth season of Vampire diaries. A fate she is concerned might befall her again should she attempt a giant leak-plugging spell.
Millhaus , lolb , laperouse & blackbird will all be travelling to the even this evening & we do hope thay have the very best of times after wolfing down a plate of Papet Vaudois and washing it down with a few glasses of Vlad's Dumb Face
We’re back to ketchup & mustard for the flag colours today. What a time to be alive!
