Ok this is absolutely silly, but…. I met Nathalie just a couple of months ago and somehow we started talking about what we games we use to play as kids. Nathalie grew up on a blueberry farm as the oldest of twelve children. When they were young they used to stick Blueberries up their nose and blast them as far as they could.
So I thought we could have a little competition. But I had so many questions. Is Dristan a banned substance at the competitive level? How do you practice? Do you stuff heavier things up your nose for training? Does snot slow it down or make it slide?

When it came down to the actual event the rest of the competitive field didn’t have a chance. Nathalie was a bit of a ringer. She shot a single blueberry 3.12 meters. None of the other competitors even came close. It’s true – everybody does have at least one special talent.

It just goes to show you that the spirit of play is alive and well even at the Blueberry Farm.
