Very neat. I think i like this Tim Minchin guy.

So apparently there is a Hoffsicle. Also, I saw a commercial for this new series called Same Name where celebrities switch places with people who Surprise! Share the same name. The Hoff was riding a lawnmower.

You mean there's two David Hasslehoffs out there? Good God, they could take over the WORLD:!:

Or at the very least, Germany.

That's always the launching point, yes.

For everything. Ever. The only reason we have Jersey Shore is because it was so popular in Germany. Jerßey Ufer. Ich leibe Snooki's haare. Sehr viel.

Just don't mention the war.

True story: I accidentally bought a vintage photo of a Nazi last month. I wish I could say there was some kind of hilarious Three's Company-type mix up, but there was only a sense of horrible, horrible dread when I realized that "soldat" was not just a Russian word and the Germans were indeed in Russia at a time. "WWII soldat in coat on Russian front." But at least the seller was understanding and gave a full refund.

Gott verdammt noch mal.

Um, I have a story from my dad's colourful past, sadly not my own. He once had a some German immigrant neighbours. Not remembering the full background of the husband, but he was a wonderful, amiable fellow. The wife on the other hand was a nazi, like fer realsies, her dad had been part of the party, and pretty influential as I recall. Not a pleasant woman. My dad's cousin Hazel also lived in the neighourhood and had a seemingly infinite capacity for partying, a true hostess with the mostest. She also had a dear friend named Eka, who was a jewish woman who had survived the concentration camps. At one party everyone happened to be there. Eka and the husband got on like a house on fire, they had a wonderful time together, and if I remember correctly had no idea that Eka was jewish, and thus was unaware of his wife's mounting anger. Eventually nazi wife woman dragged him away from Eka, and the party at large, leaving the husband bewildered. You know, I'm not sure where I was going with this anecdote. Just always struck me as interesting. Nazis and understanding/friendship in the same story.

Edit: Buh, this needs clarity. Okay, so I don't know what warlike connections the husband had, but he was German and he was alive during the war, so it couldn't not have affected him. And maybe he did have a vague notion that Eka was jewish, I suspect that hints were there, but I can't recall exactly, and dad's not available at the moment to clear things up for me. But it was always clear that he wouldn't have cared that she was.

Hoo, awkward... :lol: But it's cool that the guy at least didn't care anymore.

What bugs me is kids who think the topic of Nazis is so edgy and cool, so they combine it with something sexual and make their username something like "HITLER CONDOMS" and think they're just the coolest person ever. First off, why would you want to identify as that? Your username is what everyone who sees your posts knows you as and is often the first impression someone gets of you. Secondly, they think it makes them seem so mature, if only they knew how childish it made them look. :lol: Whenever I see names like that (not just Nazi-related things, but just the "shock" names) my immediate thought is "oh, okay, so you're 15." They just have no clue what they're doing.

You've seen Hitler you've seen Hitler cat now there's Hitler house:

Swansea house looks like Hitler complete with naff side parting | Mail Online


Also the royal wedding was on the same day Hitler and Eva Braun were married.



Someone HIM's sister's boyfriend once ment was alright until you started looked closely at his tattoos.

Oh, that poor house... :lol:

haha, yeah, the young'uns. Such a handful, I guess.

A play verite in one act, staring some kid I ran into:

Ah jeez. :lol:

(psst, psst, click the link in my sig psssst PSSSSTTTTTTTTT!!!)

Psst, psst, I keep meaning to. My ambitions haven't been meeting up with my actions lately. I'll do it now.

Psst, psst, help there's a hole in my lung and it's leaking air, psst psst

My dad has a collapsed lung at the mo. He had surgery yesterday to try and alleviate it, but, it doesn't seem to be helping allll that much, and he's got other complications now.

Wow, that was a really poorly-timed joke, I'm sorry.

No, it was funny, don't sweat it. My dad's drama has been going on so long, basically anything medical could apply to him.

Ovary cysts. Not those.

:hug:

Well, to him and his extended family, that is?
:poke:

:feesh:

Did you get to see any fireworks tonight? We didn't go anywhere, but we walked down the street enough that trees weren't blocking the view of the ones some people were lighting off in the industrial park. We couldn't see all of them, but I got explody/sparkly fix.

-patty cake, patty cake, baker's man emoticon-

Ours are about to start any time now, we're probably going to head down that way in a minute.

I was going to say "I hope the fireworks were nice," but that's dumb, fireworks are always nice. Unless there's an errant one that goes somewhere it shouldn't.

My boyfriend's boss just hit on him...

Well, with all that's going on in my life at the moment, I found myself fairly disconnected, but in the end it wasn't all that bad a situation to view fireworks in. Rather hypnotic.

Well, that's completely unacceptable, now isn't it? Is a filed complaint in order?

Aww, I'm sorry. :hug:

Well, it was too subtle to really be chargeable. He asked him if he was into men or women, and when Daniel said "women," the guy immediately said he wasn't hitting on him. But why else would you ask that? :lol: Daniel's not really that bothered by it, though. He found it kind of funny.

Have I mentioned we're getting chickens?
