A few days ago I walked behind a very fancy lady in a powersuit…she was walking her dog…every time the dog tried to sniff around etc she would yank the leash like the dog just told her that it for the last 7 years secretly had been making a lot of long distance calls…
I walked behind her for about 20 minutes…every time she looked at a man I would slap her in the back of her head…she turned around all mazed up, asking me what the fuck I was doing…told her that I was a certified Pavlov practitioner…and that I had observed how she was already trying to bend the dogs natural instinct around her own needs…Think she got quite pissed off when I told her that she should try something a bit lighter than a dog…like an old Sneaker or an Eggplant…

The Spanish government just ran a design-competition for a new logo. The winner received 12.000 € for this little piece of art.
…and in NO WAY does that look anything like the one of the German government…
I don’t see any explanation other than Spain is looking into invading Germany.
The following conversation takes place in Madrid between José Luis RodrÃguez Zapatero and Juan Carlos I.
Juan Carlos I “Hungry ?”
José Luis RodrÃguez Zapatero - “I was more thinking Schwitzerland…all they got is those little pocket knifes…shouldn’t be that hard…”
Juan Carlos I “No…hungry…as in launch”
José Luis RodrÃguez Zapatero - “Aahh…yes…I could eat…”
Juan Carlos I “Tapas…”
José Luis RodrÃguez Zapatero - “I’m so freakin tired of tapas…you need like 230 to get full…”
Juan Carlos I “Yeah…like…last week. Me and Enrique…we had the munchies…that’s quite the project when dealing with tapas….sat at a bar for like seven hours straight… “
José Luis RodrÃguez Zapatero - “What about Germany…you always see them eating those giant sausages on TV…”
Juan Carlos I “Yeah…and cabbage…always a lot of cabbage-eating going on…”
José Luis RodrÃguez Zapatero - “ I’d like that…one dish…that’s it…and like….one of those giant beers..I’m sick of those small glasses of wine…when you hit the 8 glass it’s all over the news that you’re..like..”an alcoholic…”…”
Juan Carlos I “Germany it is…”
José Luis RodrÃguez Zapatero - “…if we pick that rip-off logo we don’t need to change it when Berlin becomes Barcelin…”

We are in the process of relocating HQ to a bigger and better location. Today the movers moved our mansized printer…the new place has a narrow and very steep staircase…and that’s not comme il faut in the moving business. I told the movers on the phone, and he told me that it wasn’t a problem…on location we had the following conversation…
Moving guy - “JESUS CHRIST…is it going op there…”
Me   - “yup”
Moving guy ” but…”
Me “…”
Moving guy - “it’s so steep…”
Me “yes it is…”
Moving guy - ” God dammit….”
Me -Â “but is it possible…”
Moving guy - ” i don’t know man …FUCK…”
Me -Â ” yeah…and stuff…”
They rig the thing with straps and lines and pulleys and…lift it up…and in the minutes to follow they have a classic “moving heavy stuff up stairs”dialog…
Mover 1 - “Aahh….”
Mover 2 - “&/”#&”%”…”
Mover 1 - “Got it…?”
Mover 2 - “AAHHHHH…”
Mover 1 - “It’s tipping….”
Mover 2 - “I’m slipping…”
Mover 1 - “AAHHHHH….”
Mover 2 - “put it down…put it down…put it down…put it down…put it down…”
Mover 1 - “FUUUUCK…”
Mover 2 - “€&€%!!!?€…”
Ten minutes later it’s in place, and we now know how it sounds like when a 230 pound makes love to his wife…

We talked about it, but agreed that this isn’t something that requires rational decisions…This is a decision where you agree to man the fuck up and do it…
Yes…papers are being signed…and this isn’t something that any midlevel manager can sign…this is the stuff that requires a partner signature…so we flashed our Caran d’Ache Pen…
As a consequence the blog may or may not (probably may) lay low for a week or two…’cause we’re gonna be working harder than Demi Moore getting ready for “striptease“…
We love you long time…
