I was in Germany the other week, trying to do the navigating for the guy who was doing the driving. I tried to plot a route that went through Duisburg, purely because of Herr Lipp, but we got lost.

Come to think of it, that's not much of an anecdote, is it?

No. And I will never forgive you.

While we´re talking about boring towns like Duisburg:

There´s a famous urban legend here about a city called Bielefeld: It doesn´t exist!
Whenever somebody mentions this legend, hilarity ensues. Usually someone will take it seriously and start:
"But, but I know someone from Bielefeld."
"But, but I´ve visited it once."
"Hey, I am from Bielefeld!"

Everybody else: "Sure you are..."

A friend of mine told me recently he visited B. Me:"Sebastian, you sure? It doesn´t exist, y´know!"
He thought about it and then remembered, he had visited a village close to Bielefeld...

I stand corrected. A zombie smiley!

Wikipedia is astounding:

I looked up Bielefeld on the english Wikipedia, and not only have they something about that city, there´s a huge text about that urban legend I told you about:

Bielefeld-Verschwörung

quote:
"The entity SIE (German for "THEY") tries to influence the public to believe there is a city called Bielefeld in Germany, and all authorities have conspired to create wrong hints of its existence. The reason for this conspiracy is unknown, the most common theory claims that Bielefeld hides an alien base."

That's so cool...

Mistoffelees

23:25 / 07.10.05

Yeah, but not as cool as squirrels on crack.

P. Horus Rhacoid

23:27 / 07.10.05

Way cooler than Area 51, though.

The crack squirrels are in all the Saturday papers- here's from the Guardian:

On Brixton Hill, Bim is not surprised by the spectre of the Brixton crack squirrel. "I've only been released from prison today but I've heard about the squirrels. They are scoffing all the crack, more stoned than me. Have you ever seen cats with hash? Cats always go for hash".

Mistoffelees

23:29 / 07.10.05

Of course! They got no Stollen in New Mexico.

That´s gold, plain and simple.

I put that in the cool quotes thread.

Did the squirrels discover drugs when they were exposed to the dark underbelly of the high-stakes poker world?

I also like the implication that there is a limited supply of crack, and that the squirrels are getting it before the actual junkies do.

And, sorry for the triple post, but I love the phrase 'the spectre of the Brixton crack squirrel.'

Mistoffelees

23:38 / 07.10.05

"Holy crack-scoffing squirrels, Batman! Park junkies on turkey are fighting with cats for hash!"

Also from the Guardian piece:

"They used to hang out in the little park in front of the Ritzy, twitching... dancing to music only they could hear and generally creating a malevolent ambience," Londoner Rik Abel wrote in his blog. "I've never seen one," said a staff member. "But there might be crack foxes around too".

"They used to hang out in the little park in front of the Ritzy, twitching... dancing to music only they could hear and generally creating a malevolent ambience,"

That article is beyond uncanny. Repent, the end is high!

Oh, and YAY! I´ve just been barbequoted. Thanks, fear of müsli!

A good reason to go to bed now and dream of snorting ferrets and freebasing marmots.

Hmm. Goodnight to whoever's still up. Frisbee tournament tomorrow, YES! Hopefully my drunk and belligerent housemate won't chuck the UNBELIEVABLY LOUD rape alarm under my door tonight. God.

Goodnight and good frisbeeing. I just had profiteroles. At work. I feel decadent.

I just had cheese on toast at home. Which isn't so much.

But, I do have a spanking new copy of Freedom Force, so it makes up for it.

Freedom Force rules. I hope you enjoy it- it's ace.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

Two weeks without the booze over and done.

There are a lot of people out on a Friday night, all of them walking dogs. Really - in the old days you'd have a lot of people stumbling around getting into arguments. Tonight, bone quiet. Everybody seems to have those little hyperactive dogs that yap a lot. What's the appeal?

Triplets

06:37 / 08.10.05

FOR FREEDOM!

And what happens when the hash-cats get the munchies? THEY EAT THE CRACK SQUIRRELS.
Then you've got a park full of CRACK SQUIRREL CRAZED HASH CATS. You'll WISH there were terrorists.

Yeah, alright. Just found out IN THE SODDING DAILY TELEGRAPH that our company's up for sale again. Not sure why they didn't bother telling us themselves... it's not like we weren't going to find out, what with our jobs consisting of reading the fucking newspapers.

Sorry. I'm calm. How are you?
