Same procedure as every year

If counted well the  Germans today can/could watch Dinner for One (The 90th Birthday) - history here - 13 times, and thus three times fewer than one year ago, but again at different times on various TV-channels, and  apart from the original in various German dialects; no Swiss version in 2012, though.
Very strange folks, the Germans.
Well, judge for yourself.

Tiny tip-off: Be absolutely determined not to laugh.

 

How exciting

How exciting having blocked comments and thus never coming to read those thousands comments I might have got, and never coming to know how many spams of religious nutters I might have had to delete.

Tomorrow my excitement will end.

May the patience be with you.

In Mood for a Fado

Irreal shadows, unreal trees [?]

Nature is where we not are.
There, only there exist the real shadows and real trees.

Forth and back

Coming and going.

Merry Christmas

A child's born.
Its 'cross': malnutrition.
About 10,000 times a day.

So Merry Christmas then,
and peace on Earth.
And after the mass
enjoy the masses on your table.
Sumptuous meals,
a Lucullan feast.

After all, (billions of) individuals can't change the world, can they?

May the Lord care for the poor souls.


Fucking hypocrites! 

 

Those who feel offended are meant!

* Typo in the title? Nah. It's just that I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

Blimey! It's my father's 110th.
Getting old I am.
