Muppet Rhapsody

Just freakin awesome... that's all I can say :-)

Was it a Fox... or a Rhino?

I've hit animals in a car before... but only Pigeons... never anything land based. Until now... I hit what I can only assume was a fox... I say assume because I didn't even have enough time to register what it was before I hit it at 70mph.

Pigeons don't do much damage, big poof of feathers and that's it. This fox however must've been wearing a cast iron breastplate, as in it's last few moments of existence it decided that if it was going to die it was going to take as much of my car with it as possible! A tire and a fog light to be precise.

Somehow it managed to puncture a tire, and the force of the impact dislodged and broke the lamp in my fog light.

Balls at the Erotica Fair

I don't know what it's called, but the art of rolling a crystal ball around a la David Bowie in Labyrinth is hereby renamed awesome. How this guy car roll a solid crystal call that must weigh at least a kilogram around like a feather is beyond me. And just as impressive is him walking around with it on his head!

Gotthard

Went to see Gotthard at a tiny little venue in London... first time I'd been to a bar that was sponsored by Relentless... naturally I had to have some :-) weirdly it was served in little glass bottles... wonder why you can't get it like that in the shops?

Loved the music... and the atmosphere was fantastic amongst the fans... got the traditional t-shirts for me and Nomi :-)

PS Love the name of the band... here's where it originated from

To Boldly Go

Original

The above is a map showing all the space exploration that humankind has embarked upon. In the grand scheme of things it's not even a tear in the ocean. But to be honest I never knew we;d done so much. Kind of amazing really... I wonder why it never makes the news... I'd rather see images of space than some drivel reality show!

Rammstein - Pussy

Rammstein is one of my all time favorite bands... I've seen them play live once before, and words do not do them justice as to how awesome it was... I'm so glad they're touring again in the new year. The reason of course is a new album, the best song of which by far is Pussy... which due to it's graphic nature the video has been banned, but for those that don't offend easily it's repeated below:



And if you care to sing along:

Too big, too small,
size does matter, after all.
Zu groß, zu klein,
er könnte etwas größer sein.
Mercedes Benz und Autobahn,
alleine in das Ausland fahren
Reise Reise, Fahrvergnügen
ich will nur Spaß, mich
nicht verlieben.
Just a little bit...
Just a little bitch...
You've got a pussy
I have a dick ahh
so what's the problem?
let's do it quick!
So take me now
before it's too late
life is too short, I
can't wait!
Take me now! Oh, don't you see?
I can't get laid in Germany!
Too short, to tall
it doesn't matter, one size fits all,
zu groß, zu klein,
der Schlagbaum sollte oben sein!
Schönes Fräulein, Lust auf mehr?
Blitzkrieg mit dem Fleischgewehr!
Schnaps im Kopf, du holde Braut,
steck Bratwurst in dein Sauerkraut.
Just a little bit...
Be my little bitch...
You've got a pussy
I have a dick ahh
so what's the
problem
let's do it quick!
So take me now
before it's too late
life is too short
so i can't wait!
Take me now oh don't you see?
I can't get laid in Germany!
Germany! Germany!

And the Englisdh versin, for those that don't understand German:

Too big, too small
Size does matter, after all
Too big, too small
He could be a bit bigger
Mercedes Benz and autobahn
Driving abroad alone
Journey, journey*, driving pleasure
I just want fun, not to fall in love
Just a little bit…
Just a little bitch…
You’ve got a pussy
I have a dick**
So what’s the problem?
Let’s do it quick
So take me now
before it’s too late
Life’s too short so I can’t wait
Take me
now oh don’t you see
I can’t get laid in Germany
Too short, too tall
Doesn’t matter, one size fits all
Too big, too small
The boom
barrier should be upright
Beautiful lady, (do you) desire more
Blitzkrieg with the fleshy weapon
Schnaps on the brain, you lovely bride
Stick a bratwurst*** into your sauerkraut***
Just a little bit…
Be my little bitch…
You’ve got a pussy
I have a dick
So what’s the
problem?
Let’s do it quick
So take me now
Before it’s too late
Life’s too short
So I can’t wait
Take me now oh don’t you see
I can’t get laid in Germany
Germany!

Translation notes:

*Reise is journey or the imperative of reisen (make a journey!), but Reise, reise means arise, arise and is used in German sailors’ jargon as a wake-up call**Dickah could either be the way Till sings it or it could be the German phrase for “thick thing”***Bratwurst is a German sausage and sauerkraut is a type of fermented cabbage that is traditionally served with a bratwurst.
