Game of Thrones

[yakalskovich]

Just now, a UPS guy bearing a heavier-than-expected package toppled over my threshold and almost fell into my entrance area. It was an unusually large package from Amazon, and it contained a doorstopper, which you can see on this picture (while the cats are making short work of the leftover milk from my bran flakes, as usual).

Yep, I caved and bought the books after all. They were only 20 Euros, in a box with Ned Stark on the one side, Daenerys on the other. I thought that was worth it.

Oh how strange!! I know about dogs eating more or less everything, but cats are usually pickier...

Must be a cultural thing...

:)

[yakalskovich]

Probably. Cats do seem to do cultural at times, as we already found à propos suspicions of Austrian-ness...

**grins**

I can hear you, you know!!!!

[yakalskovich]

You can!

Do you think Austrian cats are culturally different? In ways that might explain for the comparative strangeness of mine?

Or do you think that's all due to Bavarian hillbilly weirdness?

I'm told it's nearly the same country. And of course you know as every babe that all normal cats crave milk, belly ache or not. But mine as you know likes all long thing things and crunchy vegetation, hence capsicums, asparagus peel, etc. I just got a tumblr and posted into the void that "late today for work was -i- / had to catch my cat a fly".

It's still WORRYSOME that you conduct cat nationalism ;P snakes and bears, that seem to roam towns and woods, not that I might have understood - you killer cucumber panderer!

I'm constantly being told that the countries are totally different... **grins**

I was really sorry about the bear, by the way. We get one bear back after a hundred years or so without them, and what do people do? The ruling Amigo Party creates a panic and then allows some well-chosen cronies to kill the poor beast. I found that really shameful and haven't yet been to the museum where they show off his stuffed hide.

As for the killer cucumbers, that's Hamburg. With which I have nothing to do. That reminds me, I forgot to ask my folks if they really still plan to go to killer cucumber country for holidays in less than a month's time. I think it might a bit dangerous, and if one of them had an accident, all the intensive care wards might still be full up with killer cucumber victims and have no capacities free for them...

What is your tumblr?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

Yeah, mostly by my colleague despite him being constantly surprised why i'm -not- like "all the other of your kind".

Yeah, shame, same as always.

Actually it wasn't the cucumbers at all, they don't know what, last suspect is banana, so I bought two.

That word that Dave McKean prefers to apocalypse and I keep forgetting, though my non-URL name is same as here, -inbetween-

[yakalskovich]

Sorry, that doesn't turn up anything for me.

Bananas? But that makes no sense as to why mostly in Hamburg. They don't grow bananas in Hamburg, and that outbreak is mostly localised, so it's something that's either been grown there or a delivery of something that's gone into the food chain there. As for bananas, you don't even eat their peels, so external contamination wouldn't be all that bad...

Yeah, but it's no worse than my colleague smilingly (you never know) telling me that in his country/our employer, three small boys died in one area at the same time, and Germans love to holiday there. The only "good" news there is that it might not be Ebola but extremely bad hygene in his hospitals. Why not speculate it's the pharma companies again? A new one each year! First cows then birds then pigs and finally they snapped and created killer VEGETABLES. As mad as this sounds, I'd not put it past them. Though mostly the juxtaposition of killer and vegetable is funny.
