I try, dear worst-reader. I really do. In fact, I might have broke my personal record when it comes to days watching at least fifteen to thirty minutes of faux newz. As revolting as that is, I'm glad I got through it--and it's now over. And so. Indeed. It takes a day or two (or … Continue reading The Problem With Un-Gentleman Suitors

When the answer just comes
Source: interwebnet screenshot There are moments when advertising even works for me. Take for example this billboard. I mean. As worst-writer, it’s kinda obvious I’ve already failed but at least I answered that question long ago. Or? Rant on. -T
You Can’t Pick Your Parents Or The State You’re Born
Source of pic: see link belowIt is, actually, kinda a beautiful place. The way Maryland cuts in and out and around the Chesapeake Bay is mesmerising. I remember the various motorcycle trips I used to take riding around the Bay when I was young. I would get up early in the morning on a day-off … Continue reading You Can’t Pick Your Parents Or The State You’re Born
The Not So Grand Intervention
I've been in my beloved & missed #Americant during the worst pandemic in a hundred years for a week now. I received my first covid shot within hours of arriving. Should be getting second shot within the next three weeks. I consider being able to fly here and get vaccinated an awesome privilege--and for that … Continue reading The Not So Grand Intervention
Safe than sorry with good views
I can feel it dear worst-reader. The contempt. The disdain. The disrespect. It's everywhere here, don't you know. Of course, what better place to actually see the origin of it all--the all that is contempt, disdain, etc., than to be in the lower canal bowels of the bellied beast that is my beloved & missed … Continue reading Safe than sorry with good views
Pfizer, jet-lag and no pictures
My scheduled appointment was at 10am. I arrived at the vaccination centre and 9:56am. Although traffic cones by the thousands were prestigiously aligned, most certainly capable of guiding hundreds if not thousands of cars, there was no vaccinations being given in cars. In fact, the only cars there were those parked at reserved spaces. So … Continue reading Pfizer, jet-lag and no pictures
Doozy flight if it weren’t for the mask thingy
Have to admit something, dear worst-reader. I was a bit nervous about my first flight in so long. And then there's that silly (sarcasm) COVID thingy. Of course, after getting tested negative, the only thing left was to actually get through with it. Yeah, it's worst-true. I thought once or thrice about cancelling the whole … Continue reading Doozy flight if it weren’t for the mask thingy
Such and odd view
Mega empty terminal. Or did I just snap the picture at the right moment of terminal emptiness? #Nomatter. As usual I’m an early bird kinda traveler. Since this is my first flight in 1.5yrs and there’s all these extra precautions and protocols to confuse me and and and… say, how is it that this world … Continue reading Such and odd view
Well, that’s a good sign
My first COVID negative test And with this I can board an airplane that will most definitely be pointed in the direction of my beloved & missed United Mistakes. And so it shall be… in a few hours. Rant on. -T
The first batch of stuff
It's the first time, since I can remember, dear worst-reader, that I've gone more than a year without visiting the country where I was reared, raised, braised and ruined. But that's what love is all about, eh? #Nomatter. On this quest to find the home that I will have to (eventually) leave again, here's a … Continue reading The first batch of stuff
From the Desk of…
Will this be the first and last time I visit the link below? You bettcha. (Probably.) Still. Gotta worst-say, dear worst-reader, ain't it great how #Americants greatest grifter aka cheeto-jesus has been reduced to communicating his idiocy via a... blog? Rant on. -T Source: From the Desk of Donald J. Trump | Donald J. Trump
Preparation has begun, baby
Well, there you have it. After a year and a half of quarantine and only touching my direct family in the confines of two households, it’s my first PCR test. Reason? Not what you think. Instead. Worst-Writer is flying home on Sunday—to enter a third household—and like anyone else flying I have to be negative. … Continue reading Preparation has begun, baby
E-Bike Confusion Galore
https://youtu.be/dYkHmV7C2lY Here's the thing, dear worst-reader. Worst-writer has owned an e-bike since 2017. I've also been an avid cyclist since (about) 2007. As an e-bike consume-to-survivor, though, there's often a bit of here and there about the industry that kinda gets under my skin. A few recent articles and a YouTube video have woken up … Continue reading E-Bike Confusion Galore
Facetious Sarcastic Irony Or Maybe Not
One of my favourite German words is: Klugscheisser. Roughly translated (to #Americant English) it means smart-ass. I worst-say "roughly translated" on account, well, as far as I can tell (after all these years living abroad) my beloved & missed united mistakes of #Americant has lost touch with what it means to be a smart-ass. I … Continue reading Facetious Sarcastic Irony Or Maybe Not
Burke Before Paine?
Having a hard time reading Hanna Arendt. Reason? It’s not that I don’t or can’t understand her. She is most certainly NOT a difficult read. It’s just that…In my confused and un-trained reading-mind, I realize how little I know about so much of the history she is constantly referencing. For example, the quote above. It’s … Continue reading Burke Before Paine?
Letter To Sister-Woman
Been itchy lately, dear worst-reader. Itchy means breaking out my old Hermes Baby. Rant on. -T
How To Un-Americant Americant
Source of pic: see link below There's only two great political things worth mentioning in worst-writer's life-time. That is, since I became politically aware back in the mid 1970s, only two political issues rein supreme in my worst-mind--and only one of them has happened so far. First, there's the election of Barry-O. What an achievement. … Continue reading How To Un-Americant Americant
The Boxing Ring
The Boxing Ring Another dream worth transcribing, dear worst-reader? Not sure. But let's go with it anywho. I am a court jester, a janitor's fool, some wife's bathroom cleaner. But I am also a professional boxing referee stuck in a loop transaction of a match inside said ring. And here's the thing that could make … Continue reading The Boxing Ring
Unenlightenment
Not quite sure why worst-writer's worst-thoughts, when confronted with the big picture that is the enduring decline of western civilisation as lead by my beloved & missed united mistakes of #Americant, often get caught up in The Enlightenment. I mean. It's not that I know all that much about it. Ok. I've read a few … Continue reading Unenlightenment
The Grand Scheme Of Things
How does the beast react when it's backed into a corner and life becomes the ultimate existential question? I've seen it with badgers, squirrels, cats, dogs and, of course, #Americant man-children. These animals become fierce and you can see how every spec of their being is about survival as the corners are decreased and squeezed … Continue reading The Grand Scheme Of Things
In Scam And Old Underwear We Trust
Source of pic: #interwebnet screenshot Alternate worst-title: Surprise! Your whole life has been a scam. Get a load of the article linked below, dear worst-reader. Can you believe what's going around in the newz lately? Of course, it has to do with banks, don't you know. I mean, what else is there in my beloved … Continue reading In Scam And Old Underwear We Trust
American Dystopia And The Consumption Of Golf Balls Through Garden Hoses
Same sweater, different film? One is Body Snatchers and the other Animal House. Actresses? Not at all the same. (Sarcasm off.) Alternate worst-title: Back in the day you could play musical cars (as in: musical chairs) at a great drive-in movie. Disclaimer: this worst-post contains spoiler alerts for an old movie and may (or may … Continue reading American Dystopia And The Consumption Of Golf Balls Through Garden Hoses
Salacious Lurid #Americant Galore, Baby
Alternate worst-title: #Trump, Roger Stone, Matt Gaetz and the man-child $hit$how that is the bottom trolling of #Americant with a bit from Oliver Stone's JFK. Disclaimer: this post is NSFW. Sometimes, dear worst-reader, the waters recede enough and the bottom is revealed. And what a bottom it is, eh. But does that mean you finally know … Continue reading Salacious Lurid #Americant Galore, Baby
The Word Mob Or How Worst-Writer Learn Bout Bad-Bad
A quick search in the #Interwebnets provided a kickstart to this worst-post, dear worst-reader. It was originally supposed to be just another quick quote-post as I was so tickled how Hannah Arendt uses the word mob. Putting all my worst-silliness aside, though, I eventually came around to thinking about all the ways the word mob … Continue reading The Word Mob Or How Worst-Writer Learn Bout Bad-Bad
On Human Wickedness And Such
Human wickedness, if accepted by society, is changed from an act of will into an inherent, psychological quality which man cannot choose or reject but which is imposed upon him from without, and which rules him as compulsively as the drug rules the addict. -The Origins of Totalitarianism, Hannah Arendt I'm about three hundred and … Continue reading On Human Wickedness And Such
