Star-date blah-blah-blow-me. Let it be known that on this day, an f'n krappy Sunday, I finally got around to deleting my twitter account. -Rant on T

Heatwave, #Eurowasteland And How I Learned To Love Electric Shades
https://youtu.be/256kLXwroUI If you haven't heard, dear worst-reader, #Eurowasteland is experiencing a pretty severe heatwave. Indeed. In all my years living among the Germans as a lost and useless-eating #Americant, I've never experienced it this hot for this long. Yesterday I measured 37.5°C (that's almost a 100°F). That may not sound like much to you but … Continue reading Heatwave, #Eurowasteland And How I Learned To Love Electric Shades
The Patriotism Monkey Gnawing On Your Back Or How To Be Ruled By A 30% Minority
Subtitle of this worst-post: The reasons President Stupid is so overtly, well, stupid. The stupid currently running everything in my beloved & missed #Americant is there because, basically, it's all part of a plan. Seriously. Stupid isn't just stupid. It can be more. It can even be stupider. Or. Only this much stupid can attract … Continue reading The Patriotism Monkey Gnawing On Your Back Or How To Be Ruled By A 30% Minority
Suburban Hell Tribe Wars Or How The Feminine Stole The Show
There are two things I always think about when I think about the tale of Beowulf. The first is the connection the story has to religion, specifically monotheistic religion. At the time the story was written polytheism was still relatively common in Northern Europe. Even though it is a very minor part of the original … Continue reading Suburban Hell Tribe Wars Or How The Feminine Stole The Show
When Does The Real Burning Down Begin?
As I've worst-said here, the rich, with or without their cronies, will burn the whole thing down before giving even the smallest amount of power to the other side (of the political system) that is so desperate to do something about what's going on these days. Even though the worst-newz this post is linked to … Continue reading When Does The Real Burning Down Begin?
Last Of The Mohican Bookshelves
Actually the brand that is the last of anything is "Mocoba" not Mohican. As in the last bookshelf I'll probably ever consume-to-survive. So much for worst-writer worst-humour. This is indeed a fancy-pants bookshelf system sold by some fancy-pants art-like shelf dealer in Köln. It is created/designed by some fancy-pants architect, I think. (#Interwebnet search it … Continue reading Last Of The Mohican Bookshelves
Pork Bellies, Wives And The Real Fake Newz
Let us begin, dear worst-reader, with a worst-writer transcription from a great movie. Sometimes I get a kick out of doing this sort of thing. It has something to do with my love of typing. Here's another one, if you dare. The reason I chose the movie Trading Places for this post, by-the-buy, is because, … Continue reading Pork Bellies, Wives And The Real Fake Newz
Exploding Shrooms Or How To Razor Wire Your Paranoia?
Sites seen while walking Beckett, The Killer Pug. The mushroom is at least 12-14 inches in diameter. When it ejaculated its spores there might have been a slight wind from the South West. There is a metallic greyness, an almost mechanical shade around the base of the fungus. I never before thought I could see … Continue reading Exploding Shrooms Or How To Razor Wire Your Paranoia?
The Anatomy Of Corn, Puffy Nipples And The One That Got Away
What are the things you miss most as an unwilling expat? It used to be blue crabs. But I've indeed had more than my share of them. (May the God of the Chesapeake, you lovely Bitch, have mercy on my soul for all my sins!) There was also a time when I missed the #Americant … Continue reading The Anatomy Of Corn, Puffy Nipples And The One That Got Away
Unusual Heatwave Bringing Out Nature’s Best And Miele Makes Best Washing Machines
https://youtu.be/kCGrG0aa9EU Pulled this nasty guy off my dog, Beckett the Killa pug, this morning. It's the second one in a month. Indeed. An unusually long heatwave is doing its job on nature here. Bugs are flying around I've never seen before. The Rhine river is extremely low and somewhat more toxic than usual. Last week … Continue reading Unusual Heatwave Bringing Out Nature’s Best And Miele Makes Best Washing Machines
Caught With The Cookie In The Hand Jar
Title 2: Jar Caught With Hand In The Cookie Title 3: Cookie With The Hand Jar Caught Etc., etc. Let's figure them out, shall we? I'm referring, of course, to right-wingers. I mean, it's one thing to simply call them all Deplorables--as Hillary so brilliantly but also mistakenly did--but it's another thing to actually get … Continue reading Caught With The Cookie In The Hand Jar
Opening Bottled Stupid Or Another Story Of #Americant Run Amok Galore
Well, this was supposed to be kind of a worst-post based on the newz-links at the end but instead I got caught up in an email exchange with an Old Friend and let myself get a bit off worst-topic. Good luck 1. The following is an email exchange mixed what I consider to be some … Continue reading Opening Bottled Stupid Or Another Story Of #Americant Run Amok Galore
Trying To Understand #Americant – With W.E.B. DuBois
I have seen a land right merry with the sun, where children sing, and rolling hills lie like passioned women wanton with harvest. -W.E.B. DuBois Finally got around to it, dear worst-reader. You know, that list of authors you've been meaning to read but somehow never get to. The thing is, if I get caught … Continue reading Trying To Understand #Americant – With W.E.B. DuBois
Paris Pic 2018
Dabbling in smartphone photography. Have no idear what I'm doing. Yet every once-a-once I nail it. Well, almost nail it. Street art from Spring 2018 Paris visit. -Rant on T
Quote From The Downfall
Risk being a victim of injustice rather then being complicit in it. -Bruce Fein Source: https://ralphnaderradiohour.com/poor-peoples-campaign-brett-kavanaugh/ And so. I'm just trying to understand how my beloved & missed #Americant got to where it is right now. And boy is it f'n scary. Good luck suckers. -Rant on T
And Now: #Eurowasteland At Its Finest Or How I Learned To Aim It Right
So. Like. About a year ago I was out and about on my beloved E-Bike and, as usual (at my age), I had to take a piss. Usually I find a secluded place among the urban trees but for reasons owned by men of my age bracket... when you gotta go you gotta fcuking go! … Continue reading And Now: #Eurowasteland At Its Finest Or How I Learned To Aim It Right
New Pug Breed? Tiger Lion Killer Pug.
As a pure black pug owner, seeing this guy really caught my eye the other day. According to his owner, he's only three years old so the white/grey is very odd. He's almost twice the size of my Pug--and mine is no Pug slouch. Although his facial features were almost perfect (for my standards), his … Continue reading New Pug Breed? Tiger Lion Killer Pug.
A Told, Untold And Retold Story Or Why I’m Obsessed With Calling Out Those Who Gave US President PeePeeHair
It's hard being an expat. It's even harder being an expat stuck in a golden cage. Indeed, dear worst-reader. That's what I call my not-so-loved Germania where I've been living and mentally struggling for the better part of twenty-plus years. When people ask me, though, why Germany, I usually avoid the obviousness of my birth. … Continue reading A Told, Untold And Retold Story Or Why I’m Obsessed With Calling Out Those Who Gave US President PeePeeHair

The Good Book In One Hand, Burning #Americant Flag In The Other
No. Seriously. It was the re-election of Dubya Dip$hit Bush back in '04 that probably sealed the deal that I would never repatriate to my beloved & missed #Americant. I really didn't think things could get any worst, though, after Dip$hit Dubya. And so. Dear worst-reader. Welcome to my... getting worst-world galore. I can't forget … Continue reading The Good Book In One Hand, Burning #Americant Flag In The Other

Roof decorations on the northern most outskirts of Cologne. Cool. -Rant on T
How To Fight Your Culture Of Stupidity Galore Without Losing Your Shirt Or Your Head
First and foremost, get rid of the elite. Not unlike that which lead to the French Revolution--there should be heads rolling through mishandled municipal gutters about now. In fact, there should be something like a pile of heads museum somewhere from the past thirty or so years. But I guess that's wishful thinking considering the … Continue reading How To Fight Your Culture Of Stupidity Galore Without Losing Your Shirt Or Your Head
Pseudo-Review #6: R&M Charger GX At 5000km And Humming Brakes From Hell
Surpassed 5000km the other day on my beloved e-bike. As of May this year, it's also just over a year old. Although I've met some who ride their bikes a lot more than worst-moi, I'm kinda tickled that I've been able to ride all these kilometres. With that in mind, perhaps it's time to complain … Continue reading Pseudo-Review #6: R&M Charger GX At 5000km And Humming Brakes From Hell
May Screen-Agers Live Long And Prosper And Walk On The Corpse Of Old Scape-Goaters
Email from an old friend: Hi Tom, Search: "SCREEN-AGERS Today’s Adolescent: Why Kindness is Missing" on ... and watch the 1 hour 40 min video. Its a good summary that explains much of what is going on now in many aspects of US culture (and I emphasize US cause it's the outlier nation in almost every … Continue reading May Screen-Agers Live Long And Prosper And Walk On The Corpse Of Old Scape-Goaters
Worst-Writer Newz Break: From Russia With Luv Or Porn In The Voting Booth
The thing to keep in mind, dear worst-reader, if you are at all confused about the whole #Trump colluding with Russia thing, is this: nomatter what happened during the campaign and nomatter what the Russians did, the #Americant people, in collusion with a manipulated Constitution and its Electoral College, were the only ones who voted … Continue reading Worst-Writer Newz Break: From Russia With Luv Or Porn In The Voting Booth
