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.

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-

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.
