gingerine

Gingerine is a strange orange beast hiding as an-alter ego of R.A.N.G.A. (www.ranga.net.au) founder, Aaron Webb. During the day, Aaron is a mild-mannered writer for a local newspaper in St Kilda, Australia, but after dark, Gingerine takes hold of his body and goes on rampaging ginger-centric campaigns of sillyness.

Says Aaron: “I try desperately to contain him, but certain food and drinks trigger his release from the depths of my brain. Unfortunately, some of my more twisted friends know what these are and spike me to unleash Gingerine for their own amusement.”

The worst offender is an incorrigble chap by the name of J. Cohen, esq, who carries a bag full of the trigger-foodstuffs to use on Aaron at every available opportunity. Other people find it strange that Joel is always in possession of a packet of crystallised Ginger, a bottle of Ranga Beer, Jaffas and Ranga Hot Chilli Sauce…

In true Jekyll and Hyde style, once Gingerine is unleashed, bad things tend to happen. Gingerine has previously been recorded chasing the Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, perhaps desiring to mate with her. He’s been seen running around St Kilda in his standard uniform – an orange morph suit, slapping R.A.N.G.A. stickers on people. He’s been arrested by the local constabulary for public nudity, namely streaking a footbal match. He’s trekked through King’s Cross in Sydney, fornicating with strange Sydney types.

When he’s not doing these strange things, he designs T-Shirts for R.A.N.G.A.
