The Off Topic Topic

I've decided to flee for Argentina during the week of the election and the following week, fearing the civil unrest resulting from either guy winning.

Totally unrelated, my in-laws are having a reunion around that time

Their economy might end up better than ours.

Not while that bitch is in power.  Two weeks of her and I'll probably start to miss Obama

Have fun! Una buena parrillada y vino!

I have requested a celebratory parillada upon my arrival, and I'm certain my father in law will have a glass of Malbec poured for me before I sit down.  My day 2 will be spent shopping for Cuban cigars.

The cat clawed up a British reporter?  Good cat!  My cats have a hard time catching rodents as well.   There was a mouse in my room this spring and one cat chased after it while a second just sorta watched.  And not an interested watch, just laying down idly watching the scene.  Cat didn't give a damn.

My old cat caught a mouse I had apparently brought back with me from camping.  She also got a couple birds (and she was an indoor cat except when she escaped).  For each kill she got a silhouette emblem of whatever animal on her litterbox cover.

My cat just sauntered into the room a few moments ago, and was looking up at me intently.  No meowing or chatty chirping, like usual.  Just watching me.  Like Jonesy the cat in Alien. 

I was like, what, dammit, you've been fed tonight, goddamn.  An she keeps looking at me.  Tail gently flicking.  Waiting. 

And then the odor hit me like the chlorine at Ypres.

And she licks her paw and grooms the side of her chops, and she's all like, yeah, bitch.  Go scoop that.

Fight the power

I already played that card today.

Netflix comes to Denmark, price: $13.80/month

[Ed Anger]

 

Sorry.

[Eddie Teach]

VAT?

Though it costs more than that here if you get dvds in the mail as well.

[Liep]

VAT? There's the obligatory 25% sales tax on it, yeah. It's still cheaper to get the American service + VPN. That will also include a much bigger selection as only about half of the titles are in the Danish deal.

On the other hand, next week we'll get HBO Go.

(The store is very small with 2 registers and we call customers over one at a time to prevent overcrowding. A customer walks over to register with his wife, without being called.)

Me: "Oh, hold on there, sir. You came too fast."

Customer's Wife: "Story of my life."

Haddaway is playing Stockholm tonight!

Haddaway is playing Stockholm tonight!

That is lovely.

That ain't bad IMO.  As much use as we get out of Netflix in my house, it's a steal for $8 a month and would still be worth it for twice that.
