The Red Sea is the best place to scuba dive, the Adaman Sea is pretty good, too. When the weather works with you, Bali has some beautiful waters to swim in. Then there's my initialisation to crystal, turquoise waters. I will never forget the first time I swam in the Indian Ocean off the shores of Mauritius. … Continue reading Mother’s Footstool, Sad News And My Toes
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
May “Deplorables” Haunt Her Forever
"College educated elites carried out the neoliberal assault on the working poor and now they are being made to pay. Their duplicity embodied in politicians like The Clintons and Barrack Obama succeeded for decades. These elites, many from east coast ivy league schools, spoke the language of value, civility, inclusivity, a condemnation of overt racism … Continue reading May “Deplorables” Haunt Her Forever
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?
Long Past The Point Of No Return Because The Snow(den)ball Is Long Gone, Melted And Absent of Doctor Strangelove
Finally, dear worst-reader, I've found something out there on the interwebnets that I can relate to--especially regarding the batsh*ttery of the cult of Edward Snowden. As I've worst-written here, I'm not a big fan of Snowden. In short, I question whether or not this so-called whistle blower is all he's cracked up to be. Also, my … Continue reading Long Past The Point Of No Return Because The Snow(den)ball Is Long Gone, Melted And Absent of Doctor Strangelove
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.
Fake News. Deplorables. Botched Robbery. Rational Thought. A 4:30am Botched Unsolved Murder.
The thing that's been bugging me most since the presidential election goes beyond the commitment of #americant to continue along its path of batshit conservative politics. I've been seriously trying to figure out how the DNC and the Clintons totally underestimated political conservatism. Putting all the republican party trickery aside, i.e. gerrymandering congressional districts, the power of talk … Continue reading Fake News. Deplorables. Botched Robbery. Rational Thought.

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.

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

Politburo PLUTOcracy Behaviourism
https://youtu.be/FN7v544Fd4k In all of this worst-talk about elections, The Donald, the feminine losing, how it all came to pass, one very important thing has been forgotten. What is it that makes this freak show happen? If there was ever an essence to something, there is certainly an essence here. Or are we dealing with quintessence? Indeed. … Continue reading Politburo PLUTOcracy Behaviourism
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
