One day in Teletubbieland. There was something new.

[yakalskovich]

The roughly one-year-old twins living in the house opposite watch the big Volvo digger at work this morning. They do look rather like teletubbies. And no, I don't know their names or whether they're male, female, or one each; I only ever observe them in that window.

Gigantic Claw o' Doom = Oooh, neat! in Teletubby land.

[yakalskovich]

Absolutely.

That's one of the things that amused me so much about it. One of the other was how the man driving the big Volvo digger with the 'claw o'doom' held it up in front of the window to let the tubbies have a real good look at it; the picture I took of that unfortunately didn't convey thhe fact, and this one looked better, all in all.

Wow, maybe I should drop by when the claw of doom is active. Looks rather impressive. Pitty the window was closed...

[yakalskovich]

The Claw O'Doom is active now. Twelve solid hours it has put in today.

*groans*

Instead of Sunday, or in addition to Sunday, you could drop by on Thursday in the early evening and admire the monster in action.

ROFL! They really look like that. And in that first pic, they looked like they might fall out of the window.

[yakalskovich]

Nah, you see the refelection of the building opposite in ther window pane. Securely behind glass, those tubbies.

[woelfle.livejournal.com]

Yep. But if you squint at the pic in a lopsided way, it looks like there's no glass. :-D

[yakalskovich]

I don't squint at pics in lopsided ways. Pics to squint at in lopsided ways went out of fashion in 1998.

:-p I'm rather dated, I know...

[yakalskovich]

Don't worry, my dear, they were fun while they lasted.

Now we get Sudoku puzzles instead.

[woelfle.livejournal.com]

Oh-hoo, that was actually a trend I was right on time with! I started last September and have been addicted and spreading it ever since.

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

I started last spring, actually, when 'Suti was introduced to them in Milliways, by Guppy Sandhu from the British TV series 'Casualty'...

[woelfle.livejournal.com]

Mööp. Can't I ever be on top of anything? :-D

[yakalskovich]

Heh, japanologist and I have been saying 'Where we are is up' for years now...

[woelfle.livejournal.com]

LOL. So it seems. Because of my friends, I was the first to sudoku...

[yakalskovich]

Erm, we're early adopters; we often noticed that. Not beta users, but early adopters shortly after beta.

It's easier to be an early adopter in Munich than in, erm, I don't name names...

[woelfle.livejournal.com]

Are you saying that, in days of the internet, Munich is a place to be on top? And I'm not mentioning the CSU either. :-D

[yakalskovich]

Oh, yes, all the best Claws O'Doom go here...

The CSU? Munich doesn't vote CSU. That's the damn hinterland, like the execrable village where I work. Munich has had an SPD mayor with Green sub-mayors, even, since time out of mind.

[woelfle.livejournal.com]

LOL! And yes, I know about the SPD mayor, but Munich is still the capital of Bayern! :-p

But maybe I'll drop by some time soon anyway. If I find said time at all. People are moving there like whoa. :-D

[yakalskovich]

Do drop by and meet my Claw O'Doom, my samovar, and the 'katzerl'! You're very welcome!

[woelfle.livejournal.com]

I might just do that. Once the great obstacle of finding the time to ride down there at all is overcome. :-D

[yakalskovich]

But by then, the Claw O'Doom might be gone? It's only got two more weeks scheduled here, Falk the Metropolitan said.

[woelfle.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I won't manage that... :-( Eeek, gotta go now. Really. Seeya...
