Part 2 of this pseudo-review is here. Part three is here. Picked up my R&M Charger GX Touring the other day. For those not in the know, R&M stands for Riese & Müller. Or it could also stand for: two well endowed German engineers that couldn't get jobs in austerity ridden #eurowasteland so they decided to adhere … Continue reading Pseudo Review: R&M Charger GX Touring Or How I Gave Up A Car For An E-Bike

Vulgarity And Your Mainstream
It is beyond astonishing the effort put into negative politicking in my beloved United Mistakes. Add to that a few dick jokes from a washed up former Congressman... #americant, baby. Long but worthwhile article about how #Hillary was slaughtered--among other things: Really, really long article detailing the intricacies of political power, war and greed mongering | Alternet … Continue reading Vulgarity And Your Mainstream
This Thing I Call French Love
I love the French. Although having grown up in a world that gives rise to to the likes of #Trump, ever since I got somewhat of a grasp of history, I've always had this thing for the French. Obviously it's never bothered me what happened in the WW2, especially when one considers what happened in WW1. … Continue reading This Thing I Call French Love
How Terrible Cinema Can Save The World Or Maybe Not
Finally broke down, dear worst-reader. I splurged the 4,99-€ to rent Snowden last night. Do I regret it? In German the answer is: Jein. It's a cross between ja (yes) and nein (no). I suppose the more significant question is: would I do it again--as in maybe even buy this movie so that I can … Continue reading How Terrible Cinema Can Save The World Or Maybe Not
No Wag To Tail
Beckett the killer pug was taking me for a walk the other day while I listened to a podcast or three. After a few hours of peeing on trees and licking the dew from morning grass and counting the barges that traverse the Rhein, I decided enough was enough and told the old mutt to … Continue reading No Wag To Tail
That Woman Syndrome
One last thought before heading back to the old country where rational thought (still) prevails in the confines of political discourse. I spent a lot of time joining my mother this visit to her various church gatherings. Whether it's mass on Sunday morning or happy-hour at a local lodge, I'm there watching her, witnessing, taking in … Continue reading That Woman Syndrome
Who Hates Who Most Or How To Compare Hairdos Between #Merkel, #Trump and #Putin
It was a good press conference, I'm sure Trump would say. But then again, what else can he say? I mean, come on, dear worst-reader. Have you actually listened to him talk? He talks like... a butthole from a rejected William Burroughs novel Cousin ITT from The Munsters (after he finally got a hair cut) … Continue reading Who Hates Who Most Or How To Compare Hairdos Between #Merkel, #Trump and #Putin
Stuff I Never Knew Existed Or Why Not Politics In A Redneck Pub
I know you're not supposed to talk politics while consuming beverages at your local redneck pub. This is doubly so when beveragizing during happy-hour. Yet. Being the politically accute person I am, there are times when I can't help myself and I do that which I shouldn't. (Does that contradict being acute?) Scene: extremely windy … Continue reading Stuff I Never Knew Existed Or Why Not Politics In A Redneck Pub
Twenty Bucks To Fly Across The Atlantic And Other Industry Antics Indicative Of How We Are So Thoroughly Screwed
No reason to be shocked. This flight, technically, I guess, has a "price" of "20.00 €". And why shouldn't it? Talk about a bargain. But then again, I did fly once across the Atlantic about thirty years ago--and for the life of me I can't remember the name of the airline--that costs somewhere around a … Continue reading Twenty Bucks To Fly Across The Atlantic And Other Industry Antics Indicative Of How We Are So Thoroughly Screwed
A Seminar About Beef, God-Knows-Where Nebraska, And My Personal Trail Of Tears
As mentioned in a previous worst-post, as a b'day gift I was forced to attend a cooking seminar last weekend. I say 'forced' without the intention of holding a grudge against my better-half's gift choice. It's just that I'm already a damn fine cook so my initial reaction to such a gift must be a bit … Continue reading A Seminar About Beef, God-Knows-Where Nebraska, And My Personal Trail Of Tears
What’s Under The Bus You’ve Been Thrown?
As my beloved #americant waddles in the ease and comfort of blissful ignorance and the gayety of dysfunction, I've spent most of this day continuing my research as an expatriate in finding methodologies of distraction and systems of self medication. For example, tonight I'm due with my better half to visit a place that is gonna … Continue reading What’s Under The Bus You’ve Been Thrown?
That Thing About Germaphobe Presidents And Denial Press Conferences
Well, dear worst-reader, did you think it couldn't get any worst? Surprise! You thought just because He won your hearts, your TV screens and your presidency that the batsh*t show of electoral politics was (all) over? You thought it was time to sit back, like you always do, visit the mall and consume things you … Continue reading That Thing About Germaphobe Presidents And Denial Press Conferences
Announcement: iPhone 10th Anniversary Not A Celebration But Instead Reason To Admit Defeat. Or. The iPhone Represents How The Old Economy Won.
The thing I remember most from Steve Jobs presentation of the iPhone ten years ago wasn't the device itself. No. The thing I remember most were three words that he said: "Internet Communication Device." Nothing else in that iconic corporate presentation remains with me. I don't care how the thing looks, what colours it comes … Continue reading Announcement: iPhone 10th Anniversary Not A Celebration But Instead Reason To Admit Defeat. Or. The iPhone Represents How The Old Economy Won.
Fascism: The New Rainbow Coalition
So I'm sitting at a bar, nursing an Obstler. I can't figure out if my drink tastes like peach or pears. And that really confuses me when I'm on one of them special self-medicating evenings. Btw, for the longest time when I was a child I never really understood the difference between peaches and pears. Of course, … Continue reading Fascism: The New Rainbow Coalition
The Bouncing Oysters From Middle Rhine
See those little air bubbles? Well, I've finally managed to get a pic of this rare oyster species. It's called the Rhine River Jumping Oyster. No. Seriously. It's an oyster that jumps. When the oyster is, for whatever reason, out of water those little air bubbles grow and expand and can be used to move it … Continue reading The Bouncing Oysters From Middle Rhine
Backward When Your Forward Is No More Or How Old Might Become New
Like a previous post, the digitalisation of (worst-moi's) life continues. As usual, though, at this time of year, the mystical holiday season threw me for a loop. But what could throw worst-writer for a loop, you ask. How about the physics (the E=MC2 stuff) of Santa being able to actually deliver all those presents to the world … Continue reading Backward When Your Forward Is No More Or How Old Might Become New
Why there is no Elon Musk or Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, etc., in #Germany
Link: Could Frankfurt become the new Berlin for startups | The Local The confusion continues. With the insertion of (fill # here) refugees into an already dysfunctional social-market-economy (Germany's newspeak for its politburo, pseudo-communist status) there's little room for anyone in an already bursting-at-seams country (unless, of course, you're a PHD totting white German). But let's … Continue reading Why there is no Elon Musk or Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, etc., in #Germany
Things To Come, Things Been, Don’t Worry: Buy Something
The singer in the pic is an example of what's to come or she's just more of how it's all been. Or did you miss her pseudo performance the other night? Btw, I'm wondering if I too could pack myself into something tight for a winter gala and still look that good while performing so poorly. The … Continue reading Things To Come, Things Been, Don’t Worry: Buy Something
Backwards When There Is No Forward
When the end slowly reaches you all that remains is nostalgia. Boy have I got a lot of nostalgia these days. Or is it baggage? I've also got a lot of baggage that has finally reached the point of no friggin return. For example. I have around twenty years of worst-writing material laying around taking … Continue reading Backwards When There Is No Forward
When Money Talks Bullsh*t Rules
Look closely at the pic above. It is the pic of your future. Your future is now. And there is nothing to come after it. Except. Maybe. Another candidate full of Hope & Change. But I digress. In the pic above an a$$hole businessman did something that will make a bunch of a$$hole follower's hearts beat a … Continue reading When Money Talks Bullsh*t Rules
Humiliation, Glorification And The Magic Of Butter On Your Conscience
You are not a victim of Bertolucci's film making. Or are you? Wait! Let me put that another way: When will the left learn? When will liberal thinking people grasp reality? The pathway to right above wrong is not traversed through political-correctness but through those who don't give a fcuk. But there is a way to get … Continue reading Humiliation, Glorification And The Magic Of Butter On Your Conscience
Favourite Bullets About The Demise Of All
Little to say, much to read. Been putting off reading Michael Hudson's Book: Killing the Host: How Financial Parasites and Debt Bondage Destroy the Global Economy. But I'll get to it soon enough. Till then here's a link to a great article written by another of my fav world-ending writers, Chris Hedges, who quotes a … Continue reading Favourite Bullets About The Demise Of All
Apple Confusion Galore
No. Seriously. Are you kidding me, Apple? I know. I know. You and Johnny Ives (or however you spell his/her first name) are all about what Steve (the fcuk-head) Jobs created. But the problem is, you arseholes are losing your sh*t. Why? Your new MacBook Pros suck bat-balls. No. Seriously. You guys suck so bad … Continue reading Apple Confusion Galore
Pumpernickel Love Life Or The Best Ever Name For Bread

Problems With The World Today, How You Know It’s So And How To Save $5 And Look Cool Doing It If You’re Smart
Obviously it's hard to see. Reason? Sight. It's really that simple. Sight is not the ability to see. But see what, dear worst-writer? Well. Let me tell you, dear worst-reader. While walking Beckett the Killer Pug this afternoon, I came across something that I see all the time. In fact, I see it without sight. … Continue reading Problems With The World Today, How You Know It’s So And How To Save $5 And Look Cool Doing It If You’re Smart
