“Do”s and uh… Nope, just “Don’t”s.

No:


Socks in sandals.
You’re not wearing a real shoe! Lose the cloth.

Half-way-pants (“Capri”?) for men. Decide! Either wear shorts or go the whole hog.

Trekking-sandals. No! You’re not “trekking”, you’re meandering, moseying at most. In a big city and mostly on concrete.

Screaming kids on the subway. Not crying or whining – screaming. For NO apparent reason other than being an asshole.

Smartphone-boomboxes. If you’re one of those people who do this, you’re music is prone to suck. So don’t.

Smoking on the subway-platform. It’s not cool, it’s not rebellious, it smells disgusting and it makes you look like a dick.

Leggings/tights and a shirt that’s not long enough to cover your ass. Get a longer shirt. Or lose the pants. There’s no middle ground here.

Sitting on the subway, blocking two seats because you have to spread your legs apart. Yes, I realize that, as a primate, you feel the primitive urge to present your genitals to the opposite (or indeed the same) sex. However, this is neither the right time nor place for such an exhibit. Save it for the sauna.

Walking in the middle of the sidewalk, then suddenly stopping to look at some shoes in the window. You’re in the way! If you don’t  watch out what happens behind you, I will push you aside muttering curses.

Spitting. It’s your own juices! Swallow them and stop making little puddles at bus stops.

Constantly moaning about everything and everybody instead of just getting on with your life. Uhh… right, steady on.

I might update these as I find more… Anyone got any others? Hit me.

I can has videoclip?

“What’s with all the motion pictures lately?”, you might rightly proclaim. Well, this one is another creation of my own, following the great success of “London Calling”. This time around, we find ourselves on the lovely, albeit lonely roads of Sweden.

I tried to keep it short and sweet, although, I wish I’d had more footage of us driving… However, I’ve included amazing clips of colourful dragons, a supernova and actual alien lifeforms*! So, enjoy.

Little interlude

Just to quickly explain the new Videographic demonstration on the right hand side there:
One should first consider viewing the following clip, of which the one on the right is a (brilliant) spoof:

Fisch sucht Fahrrad…

Im ZEIT-Magazin der vergangenen Woche (Nr. 28) musste ich kürzlich folgendes auf Seite 50 lesen:

“Manisch depressiver, hässlicher, verzweifelter Jurastudent (27), der gerne Bach hört, sucht Sie zum Durchbrechen der sozialen Isolation” (sic!)

Ich möchte hiermit auch über diesen Kanal auf meine Anzeige hinweisen und warte nun geduldig auf Post. Wegen manisch-depressiven Suffs, der offenbar auch Gedächtnisverlust zur Folge hat, darf jedoch mit Antworten in der Regel nicht gerechnet werden.

Brand new feather for my cap

Apparently,

I write like
Douglas Adams

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!


That’s quite pleasing! Although, to be fair, I had to try and enter a couple of texts into the machine to overcome the “Dan Brown”-phase, after which a relatively pleasant “David Foster Wallace”-interlude led me to my current status as a kin of the great, inimitable D.A.

Who do you write like?
