The concentration of smartasses skyrocketed since yesterday. And my reputation of being an intelectual hooker meant, that every idiot that had 5 min of extra time wanted to discuss (and disquist) me about the election :nope:

It's a sad part of a democracy when you vote for someone not because you support him, but because you hate the other guy more :nope:

I vote since 21 years, country, state, commune & european elections: I remember having voted twice for parties that I supported - and both of don't exist anymore :D

Btw: do you want to discuss the Slovenian election - I have 5 minutes left? :know:

So some (expletive deleted) crashed into/ scraped the side of my truck, creeping into my lane of travel. It ripped a 3 inch hole into my tire and my drivetrain fell out the bottom of my beautiful Ford pickup truck.

It is totalled, oil and gas both leaked into the street.

Thanks to Jersey being a No fault state. Meaning My insurance goes up even though it was his darn fault!

My big F-150 blew his radiator all over the hi-way. The only redeeming factor.

No one was hurt, and no citations issued, just a "stuff" happens kinda thing. Just so crippling financially, especially in my job, where I have to be able to drive far to a site.

So I am kinda bummed out. I loved that freaking truck...:wah:

Ouch, this is bad. This "no fault" insurance sounds ridiculous. Drive like an idiot and get away with it? Scheisse! :stare: So there's no way to get compensation?
I have an insurance that covers everything, even if it's my fault, this is good when someone does a hit and run, but of course if it's my fault the other party gets compensated - and my premiums would go up.
Glad that you didn't get hurt - I hope the other car got also whacked :arrgh!: - in a fair world this would be so...

Insurance companies tend to 'total" the car when they asses. That way they can only give somewhat close to the Kelley blue book value, rather than extensive repairs. The truck was well maintained but had high mileage, due to my 40 mile commute to work everyday.

Well maintained and could have went forever. (It was a ford)

I should be able to go after their insurance company for at least a few grand, but it never equals a good truck.

[Penguin]

I was referring to soopaman's accident.

But one question for you: When you saw the Pistols, did they already have Sid Vicious on the bass?, as he came to them in '77.

Donated blood in the morning and then drove to Ljubljana for coffee with a certain friend of mine and almost fainted because of the way she was dressed and the fact I had half a litre of blood pumped out of me :dead: there was simply not enough. And a nervous basterd as I am I removed my bandage too soon and started bleeding in a cafe in Ljubljana :dead: Luckily my friend is not squemish and found it quite amusing

[Hottentot]

And a nervous basterd as I am I removed my bandage too soon and started bleeding in a cafe in Ljubljana :dead:

I learned the hard way too, though not that hard :o.

I mean they told me "remove the bandage only after a good while" (can't remember how long exactly), but it made it practically impossible to do anything requiring two hands, so I thought what the heck, what's the worst that could happen?

Afterwards a huge bruise told me the answer to that question.

Anyway, here are the lyrics, handwritten:


Ich kenn da ein Mädchen aus den Hinterhaus
ihr nettes Wesen das fiel mir auf
immer wenn ich dieses Mädchen sah,
dann dachte ich an einen großen Star

Mädchen mit den roten Haaren
ich lieb dich und ich will dich haben

ihr liebliches Lächeln ihres süßen Gesichts
schien aus den Zeilen eines Liebesgedichts
und immer wenn ich sie nicht seh dann bin ich betrübt
aber von ihren Anblick da werd ich verrückt

Mädchen mit den roten Haaren
ich lieb dich und ich will dich haben

(repeat)

und Plötzlich nach einem Jahr

Well done for donating, more people should do it - but you're gonna put them off with those tales!!! :stare:

The trick is, when the bit gets removed from your arm to press very firmly for a couple of minutes, then get a plaster (2 x 2 cm) and cover. Also ensure you eat/drink something sweet both before and after.

Unless Finland and Slovenia do something drastically different to the UK to get blood out of your body? :o

[Sailor Steve]

Well done for donating, more people should do it - but you're gonna put them off with those tales!!! :stare:
I used to. One of my tales: I was donating once, squeezing the little ball like they said, when it started to hurt. Bad. Real bad. I had tears in my eyes when I said to the nurse "Excuse me. I don't like to think I'm a wimp, but is it supposed to hurt like this?" She came over and gasped, and told me to stop squeezing NOW!. I looked at the bag of blood, and instead of being half full it only had a few drops in it. It seems that the needle had slipped right through the vein and buried itself in the muscle, and the squeezing? Well, I ended up with a yellow bruise that went from my wrist to my elbow, and didn't go away for a couple of weeks.

That was back in 1971. I've given blood many times since, with no problems, until about a decade ago. It seems that they don't want it if you have diabetes. I don't blame them a bit. :sunny:

[Hottentot]

Unless Finland and Slovenia do something drastically different to the UK to get blood out of your body? :o

These (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puukko) are popular.

Oh, wait, you meant in a hospital? Nevermind then. :oops:

[Betonov]

After they pull the needle out they press a cotton strip on the wound and wrap it tightly with self adhesive elastic bandage that really makes a tight wrap. So tight it starts to sting on the edges. That's why I started to remove it.

but you're gonna put them off with those tales!!! :stare:

Unfortunately I already did that. A friend of mine finnaly took the courage to go donate, and I started talking about a bloodbath that I had with a fresh nurse (not red, sorry). She pierced the vein trough and slowly blood ran down my hand and started dripping on the floor :DL He reconsidered :damn:

[Jimbuna]

Well done that man...a much more sizeable ex-colleague of mine gives regularly yet faints on occasion and it still doesn't put him off.

her nice nature catched my eye
whenever I saw this girl,
I thought of a big star

Girl with the red hair
I love you and I want to have you

Her mellow smile on her sweet face
appeared to be from the lines of a love poem
and whenever I don't see her I'm sad
but from her sight I'm becoming crazy

waren die Idiots ein Star
und plötzlich nach einem Jahr
waren 10 rote Mädels da

---

I know there a girl from the rear building
her nice nature catched my eye
whenever I saw this girl,
I thought of a big star

Girl with the red hair
I love you and I want to have you

Her mellow smile on her sweet face
appeared to be from the lines of a love poem
and whenever I don't see her I'm sad
but from her sight I'm becoming crazy

Girl with the red hair
I love you and I want to have you

(repeat)

Suddenly, after one year
The Idiots became a star
and suddenly, after one year
there were 10 red girls there

:yep: My ears, :88)

The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.

I have a question for English native speakers. We had a small discussion among students in my group concerning the pronunciation of "Stephen" and "Steven"- is "Stephen" pronounced in the same way as "Steven"?

In American English they are pronounced the same. I don't know of any regional differences. Usually if you are taking down someone's name from them telling it to you, they will say "with a 'ph'" or "with a 'v'" (or else you have to ask) because that's the only way to tell which way they spell it.

Mostly, yes. There's always one pretentious prick who decides that it should be like Steffan (as in your philosophy), but on the whole it's pronounced as a 'V'. :yep:

That reminds of the time I was teaching a friend of mine how to pump gasoline in the car as she was just learning to drive. The whole premises of sticking a hose into a hole in the car and squirting a fluid into it makes for a very dirty lesson :arrgh!:

She was not amused :doh:

[Sailor Steve]

A great many years ago I was at a gas station hanging out with the clerk, who was a friend of mine. A man in a Mercedes pulls up to the pump, puts the handle into the filler valve and nothing happens. He yells at the clerk to flip the switch so he can get his gas. Again nothing happens. So the guy pulls the handle out of the filler valve and yells again. The clerk flips the switch again, and this time the gas comes pouring out of the hose, which is still in the driver's hand. The poor guy panics, and rather than letting go of the lever and stopping the gas he starts trying to put the handle back into the valve with the gas still pouring out. He ended up with gasoline all over his shoes, his pant cuffs and the trunk of his Mercedes.

He didn't think it was funny, so we kindly waited until he was gone to start laughing.

My dogs eleventh birthday :D

[Sailor Steve]

And it looks like he's enjoying it immensely! Great dog, great weather, great shot!

[Jimbuna]

Tell him to keep away from the yellow snow :03:

[Hottentot]

Happy birthday to the lad. Great to see a healthy looking dog at that age. :DL

The picture reminds me of one of the best things the privilege of working with the dogs has taught me: no matter where you go in the world, a dog is a dog. You can travel to all the world's continents, and people and cultures are different from one place to another, but a retriever in Europe is still a retriever in Africa and Asia and speaks the same language as all the dogs in the world. It's beautiful.

Speaking of the four legged, me and my doggie have had lots of fun recently learning a new trick. I have taught him to find paper money by scent, and he is getting very good at it. A small 5€ note hidden inside a book in a bookshelf is no match to his nose. I'm running out of challenging hiding places in my apartment quickly. :)

[Jimbuna]

That must be so cool :rock:

[Betonov]

That must be so cool :rock:

Especially when he visits someone :D

[Jimbuna]

Especially when he visits someone :D

If we're both on the same wavelength.......heaven forbid :o

[frau kaleun]

Especially when he visits someone :D

That's what I was thinking. Sounds like he's training the dog to be a cat burglar. :O:

[Hottentot]

I hate to spoil your fun with the truth but here it goes: I tried blood earlier and he learned that well enough too, but it was too messy plus I could not hide it anywhere I wanted (like inside a book for obvious reasons). And I could do it only when I happened to have a wound myself. It's not like I poked myself* with a needle everytime I wanted to train my dog, even I'm not that crazy.

In short, I needed something small and easily obtainable with a strong and distinctive scent, and preferably something I could use over and over again. Bills seemed suitable enough, and it's just fun to tell people I have trained my dog to find money.

*)And no, I did not poke anyone else either.

That must be so cool :rock:

I might try filming a short video clip of it and uploading it somewhere. No promises, but I'll see if my camera is up to the task.

[Jimbuna]

[Herr-Berbunch]

No matter where you go in the world, a dog is a dog. You can travel to all the world's continents, and people and cultures are different from one place to another, but a retriever in Europe is still a retriever in Africa and the main course in Korea.

[Penguin]

Note to myself: never borrow money from Hottentott :DL

Does a banknote even have a distinct smell? I mean they go through so many hands, there must be so many different scents of people.
Or does the dog go for your own smell?

[Hottentot]

Does a banknote even have a distinct smell?

Pretty much everything has. The paper, the ink etc., they all form a combination that can be found in pretty much every bill. And apparently it smells different as, say, books or newspapers, as he isn't interested in those while searching.

Or does the dog go for your own smell?

I have considered that possibility and tried to eliminate it. It helps that we are doing this so far only home: everything here smells of me anyway, so he must understand the difference.

Haha, I like that you used freight trucks as recon forces, a tactic that lead to arguments with a friend once with whom I played Sudden Strike. We settled a truce after an hour of vicious fighting, to relax a bit and build up new forces. I stated that for 15 minutes we don't cross a certain line with military forces.
Sadly some civilian trucks crossed the line, were seen and destroyed. This way I could put an arty barrage on the detected enemy AT positions after the truce :arrgh!:
Hey, I was only a military commander, I wasn't responsible for some civilian truck drivers who wanted to go on a sightseing tour...:O:

The German issue is sold on German Amazon for the bargain price of 298 Euros (http://www.amazon.de/Berlin-1945-Ende-Antony-Beevor/dp/3570003698/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1324467735&sr=1-5) - used for only 50.:o

I have to train our garden squirrel to smell seldom books and raid our former Finnish allies...:arrgh!:

well, I have it too :O:
but the first edition, not the second. dunno what is the difference. bought it a few years ago, as a new, for smth like 50 PLN, that is 12 euros.
The guy selling it for 298...is like...wtf omg... grosse as*hole....

:hmmm:

So, on my jaunt into Ipswich for a couple of last minute presents I see a shop whose title makes me have to double take.

SS Showers

Who the heck calls their shop SS Showers? :dead:

And then there's Santas Grotto with the N in Santa backwards, like in faux-Soviet typing...so Soviet Santa? In Soviet Ipswich you give Santa presents?

And why, in QDs, are there voodoo doll toys in the toys for girls section? Is this the beginning of the fight-back against bullying in schools?

[Herr-Berbunch]

Uhh? What? Pardon? Something about Steve showering - put me off! :nope:

[Jimbuna]

:hmmm:

Your lucky, many of the shops in my home town are either closed down or offering just about everything at sale prices :o

[Sailor Steve]

Uhh? What? Pardon? Something about Steve showering - put me off! :nope:
I thought he was talking about SubSim. :D

[Betonov]

Great :nope: So I'm having a love affair with the toillet all night and go to see the doctor. She send me to the laboratory for a blood test and guess who's on the job that day, my mother. The speech she gave me about my higiene after the tests came back positive for rota virus. AKA stomach flu I believe.
Go back to the doctor and suddenly there's a panic because I shouldn't be sick with this virus at my (almost) 26 and so I go back to get some more tests why my imune system is lousy all of a sudden (the third time I'm sick this month). And my mother's face when she read that I have to go trough an HIV test :o O brother, that was awkward, being trated like a drunken sailor by my own mother.
Luckly all test for an imune weakening disease (rough translation) came back negative and then, only then my doctor asked me if I'm stressed at work. She finally stopped me after a 20 minute rant about my work, when she finally realised that I'm stressed out. :nope:

Good bye Berlin, hello WC :wah:

[Herr-Berbunch]

Get well, and unstressed, soon. :yep:

[Sailor Steve]

Man, that's brutal! :cry:

AKA stomach flu I believe.
I'm not sure why you shouldn't encounter that. I thought that was something common to all ages. When I was a kid we just called it "the flu". Of course we laypeople had no idea that it had nothing whatsoever to do with influenza, but we caught it anyway. :dead:

[Jimbuna]

Best way to stop stress is a) Come to the realisation that is what your suffering from then b) develop a coping strategy for it.

Medication will often be of great benefit but I don't like some of the 'calming' medication I've seen some people become 'dependant' on.

Speedy recovery :sunny:

[Hottentot]

Get well soon, Betonov. You have a retriever: ask him how to relieve stress. I always consult mine when I have a bad day, and usually get very sound advice.

[Betonov]

Don't worry Jim, I don't intend on taking those pills (yet). I got enough drugs in me for my asthma. :dead:

And Hottentot, you're right, my dog has been more of a stress reliever than any pill ever invented, but his age and his medical condition are actually putting me in more stress :-?

[Jimbuna]

Don't worry Jim, I don't intend on taking those pills (yet).

Pleased to learn of it :yep:

[Hottentot]

And Hottentot, you're right, my dog has been more of a stress reliever than any pill ever invented, but his age and his medical condition are actually putting me in more stress :-?

Aye, I can relate to that. With old dogs worrying about them makes sense, but I occasionally tend to be almost paranoid even with young dogs.
"Are his ears clean?"
"Are his teeth in good condition?"
"Is that red in his eyes? Oh noes, they must be infected!"
"Did he just eat something poisonous from the ground?!"
"Did we wait long enough after exercise before giving food? What if his stomach starts turning around?" (No idea how it's called in English, but you know that lovely condition that kills your dog in front of your eyes in, like, hours tops).

And don't even get me started on how much I worry about the puppies. It's ridiculous, I know, but what can you do? We have a saying, roughly translated: "The knowledge increases the pain": knowing due to work experience all the things that can go wrong with the dogs, I can't really help it.

[Betonov]

The honey schnaps should kill any viruses in my stomach. At least the quantitiy I just drank. Pheeeew :Kaleun_Cheers:


@Hottentot:

Tell me about it, how the whole family went banans when Aros (my labrador) threw up for no reason and almost plowing the backyard so he wouldn't eat some poisonus shrubs.... But he's 11 and still kicking so the new round of worrying is here, everytime he has trouble getting up or having no apetite :-?
A Labrador with no apetite is a dead Labrador :-?

[Sailor Steve]

There's an exception to every rule...









...except that one.

It’s so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don’t say it. :hmmm:

You're wrong there. An idiot will say something idiotic because he will think that it is wise.

[Hottentot]

You know what hurts more than a wound that has been burning you for almost two years?

Cutting off the infected limb with an axe and trying to convince yourself that it was the only right decision.

Sigh. Expletive.

Someone pass me the vodka.

[Betonov]

You're joking right ??? :o

[Hottentot]

I'm being poetic. Would work better if I could afford to be drunk.

[Betonov]

Ahh, OK :DL

Invest in some barrels and a still :DL
Then learn how to ferment food leftovers :DL

A new lesson learned in life, dedicated to our Balkanese friends:

Old moonshine Slivovitz from Bosnia is yummy,
Aufgesetzter (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aufgesetzter) made from it with cherries is even better,
having a dead maggot from the cherry swimming in your glass doesn't improve the drink and certainly doesn't make it Mezcal :D


(is there an English word for "Aufgesetzter"?)

[Betonov]

That stuff can kill you :DL
Trust me, I know :DL

[frau kaleun]

(is there an English word for "Aufgesetzter"?)

Sure. Alka-Seltzer. :O:

[TarJak]

Sure. Alka-Seltzer. :O:
No silly you only need that after too much Aufgesetzer.:O:

[Herr-Berbunch]

(is there an English word for "Aufgesetzter"?)

According to good ol' Google it translates as 'top mount' :doh: Perfect sense! And the wiki entry links to creme de cassis so I think we get the picture.

In Pristina my boss used to buy 'vodka' from the locals (why not the Russians who were camped next to us?) and it smelled very much like anti-freeze - once mixed with diet coke it tasted fine - I do wear glasses now though. :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Actually Creme de Cassis is a little different, as they crush the berries.
Aufgesetzter is ethanol or hard liqour, sugar and berries/fruits of your choice - some even use magic mushrooms for it.
Mix it all together in a bottle, leave it for a couple of time then pray to the gods of your choice and drink up :D

I had some simular liquor in England, nearly 20 years ago, which the local drinkers in the park recommended. It was the cheapest harder stuff, but they warned me that it can make you blind. Can't remember the name, but it was a regular brand. I already had glasses/contacts at this time though :03:

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

[Betonov]

The main proof of my superior inteligence is the fact that I am stil alive, despite my extreme stupidity

[Sailor Steve]

I thought I was wrong once.

Turned out I was mistaken.

[Jimbuna]

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

[Herr-Berbunch]

I could agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong!

[Jimbuna]

I don't find it hard to meet expenses. They're everywhere.

:arrgh!: Someone is again making either cabbage casserole or cabbage soup... as every <collection-of-expletive> saturday. What a crime against humanity. I wouldn't complain if whole five story apartment building wouldn't be forced to share this stink. :06:

[Hottentot]

Not me. My usual grocery store is involved in an evil conspiracy and not selling cabbage. They must know I love cabbage casserole. :stare:

I'm sure they are taking all the cabbage away from the shelves when they see I leave my house. They are spying me with the little cameras they install inside the tuna cans and listening to me saying "oh I wish I had cabbage" with the microphones inside the macaroni packs. :stare: :stare:

Also, my fridge is involved in this conspiracy too, being too small to really squirrel the cabbage away, forcing me to use lesser, probably gene manipulated vegetables like potatoes and carrots. :stare::stare::stare:

What? Someone needs to fill the conspiracy vacuum around here, give me a break!

[Jimbuna]

Borrow money from a pessimist - they don’t expect it back .

"Call any vegetable, call him by name".... Frank Zappa. :D

Mr. Potato Head agrees ... :yep:

[Hottentot]

"Call any vegetable, call him by name".... Frank Zappa. :D

Did you know that Frank Zappa is Appaz Knarf backwards? Which in turn is anagram of Fan Park Zap. Open your eyes, man! Obviously the NWO wants you Frank Zappa fans to gather in a park to listen to his recordings en masse, so they could ZAP you with a mind control device and take over the world!

The truth is out there! In the oatmeal! :o

Oatmeal, by nature is bland and doesn't respond well to strangers. On the other hand, as Frank so eloquently put it "Call any vegetable and the chances are good that a vegetable WILL respond to you."

As to this gathering in park, I am removing tinfoil hat now and suggest others do the same!

A James Cagney love scene is one where he lets the other guy live.
