Greetings for the woods.

Are you going to sing us some Songs from the Wood?

Apparently a truck from Schleswig-Holstein killed an Italian prince, part of the ancient Florentine Corsini family that produced popes, in a street in London.

Wow, that's quite a testament to the European integration.

Is there some significance or sublime reference that the truck came from Schleswig-Holstein as opposed to, say, Germany?

It's my old home state which hardly ever makes the news.

It's where Syt is from.

Danes, Danes always treacherously killing people of noble birth, in England when they come to plunder.

Oh good.  I just fucked up the front end of my truck on a dumbshit asshole deer (actually a pretty big buck I saw the rack while he was flying away lol) that ran out in front of me.  Fucker took the hit like a champ though, flipped over a couple times, etc, but got up and ran away immediately.  After I pulled over, I saw there was a whole damn herd of them standing on the other side of the road, just hanging out on the other side of the median.  In a spot where there aren't any street lights, naturally.

E:

Just super.  The headlight is all weird/crooked now, the housing is cracked, and the indicator underneath it doesn't work anymore.  The right fender and the piece up above the bumper are both dented.  The grill is obviously fucked, and the thing on the bumper is probably somewhere in the tall grass on the side of that street.  Nice groove in the paint there by the fog light too.

The Southern Danes have always been troublesome.

I'd guess I was going somewhere between 35-40mph when I hit him (speed limit is 40 there, and I hit the breaks hard, but he was pretty much in the process of being hit when I first saw his dumbass), so he's probably not okay.  Well, unless he's deer Luke Cage.  I apparently need to get a damn stupid looking brush guard just for driving around in the city, since these things are everywhere and have zero problems running around on the road.

If the direct impact doesn't clock them out right then and there, they'll die of their injuries and/or from shock not too far off.

OK, didn't know if there was some sort of weirdo ethnic reference being made. 

Anyway, you'll be proud to know that every American schoolkid learns about Schleswig-Holstein in high school.  Or at least they did when I was growing up.

Don't forget to FALL FORWARD.

Just read in the NYT Book Review that in 1860 NYC was the 3rd largest German city, after Berlin and Vienna.
