| next week isn't going to be any better, we have to re-do all the work we did this week, on another compressed deadline |
Then there's this very amusing thing, an American corruption of the Chap movement perhaps? I hope it's a joke. I love how they call it "Artisanal Manliness". What's really funny about this is that the adventure described is not far at all from the high-end safaris of the mid-20th century, as described by Bunny Allen, who used to lead them. He was an interesting character.
That song's been making the rounds here at home, when little ears aren't in the room. Utterly hilarious, and annoying catchy! It's in my head every time I go thrifting...
ReplyDeleteI find the same as Mr. Clemens with the song. I think someone put an endless loop of the tune in my head.
ReplyDeleteHappy ITAM. I've yet to start except for a few letters yesterday and today.
Besides it's Ground Hog Day!
Fun song!
ReplyDeleteNo typewriters, but at least they feature an adding machine.
PS: Why did American cities tear up their rails?? Idiots!!
ReplyDeleteCool music video!
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand, after reading this I will be giving the side eye to our railways and thinking what fantastic bike paths they would make... on the other hand, I agree with Richard that it was an idiotic move; having a properly functioning railway system is a bonus here in Switzerland. Glad to see the Tippa's getting some use - yeah, that skipping escapement issue tends to pop up when one least expects it and then becomes rather stubborn. Pity; Tippas are usually quite reliable.
