The Unbearable Weight of Self Reference

whats this?

nicky wicky made a film that didnt suck?

yes its true!

its delightfully silly fun

with what have to be knowing references to his real life

its the first nicky film ive bothered to watch in a looong time

back in the in 1690s

he was in so many COOL films

snake eyes, leaving las las vegas, honeymoon in vegas, wild at heart

were all interesting/bleak/mental/funny with a healthy dash of COOL

even the action twattery of face off and con air

were good fun

and not TOO insulting to the viewers intelligence

then

he made a seemingly never ending torrent of utter shite...

(apparently he went broke investing in the south sea housing burbuja)

"Yes yes yes, it's a fantastic house, Nicholas. Now. Have you got any unshit films?"

welcome back nicky wicky

hope youve got your burbujas under control now...

so i got a letter

in the letter was my reward for being a patreon 

to the excellent linguistics podcast

lingthusiasm (highly recommended!)

its a branded ipa lens cloth 

pretty cool

even if you dont wear glasses

i had forgotten it was coming

as it was supposed to show 18 months ago

so it was a pleasant surprise

a surprise i say?

accompanying was a letter from the post office

apologising for the delay 

stating that it was due to it being -

"part of an ongoing police investigation"

what the fuck kind of ongoing police investigation involves an ipa lens cloth?

doble carbonara en lima

hace mil anos

me econtre en limalandia

se hacia buen tiempo

estuvimos en el casco viejo

despues de dar un paseo

admirando la arquitectura colonial

(mientras tratando de no pensar de donde venia el dinero para construirla)

yo vi una restaurante 'italiano'

normalmente yo evito los restaurantes 'italianos' 

cuando no estoy en italia

porque en general

los proprietaros no conocerian un pansotto de una fabbrica italiana automobili torino  

pero el jefe nos saludo y hablaba italiano muy bien

asi eligimos sentarnos a comer

fuera en la plaza

yo ordene un mio plato italiano preferido

spaghetti alla carbonara

y eran riquisimos!

cuando regreso el jefe y nos pregunto en italiano

'y que tal la comida?'

estuvimos todos contentos

y lo felicitamos...

entonces satisfecho, lleno y en uno con el mundo

cuando nos pregunto si quierian otro plato

decide impulsivamente que quisiera el mismo otra vez

todos se reian

pero yo insisti

el mismo otra vez....

doble carbonara

ñam ñam!

Maximón ooo San Simón

Un santo bebedor, fumador y mujeriego

El Santuario de San Simón en Chichicastenango, Guatemala

El santo mas chido es guatemalteco. no se necesita a la virgen de guadalupe en guatemala, ni a los santos peninsulares, Tienen san simon. Un santo que fuma, bebe y saca a la gente de la cárcel.

San Simon en un bar en Guatemala.

'San Simón, o Maximón, el mismo personaje con dos nombres. San Simón es el santo español no reconocido y Maximón es el chamán maya. Es el santo principal en Guatemala y puedes ver efigies suyas en todas partes, algunas en santuarios especiales que cambian de casa cada año y otras en lugares menos probables como bares o peores. Siempre tiene un aspecto más o menos parecido: con bigote, sombrero de vaquero, un cigarrillo colgando de la boca y rodeado de una gran cantidad de decoraciones coloridas y extrañas.'

'Se dice que viajaba incesantemente por Guatemala, bebiendo, fumando, teniendo sexo con mujeres, pero por lo demás haciendo el bien a todo el que conocía.'

'La gente viene y le deja regalos de alcohol y cigarrillos y enciende velas delante de él. Le dejan playboys porque le gustaban mucho las mujeres. Se sienta con una canasta llena de monedas en su regazo, un cigarrillo en la boca, una botella de licor y una escopeta a su lado.'

No todos necesitamos a un San Simón?

il leone del deserto (contro i fascisti di merda)

una storia terribile

della brutalita dei fascisti italiani in libia

quando cercavano di rifare l'impero romano

nel secolo scorso

si, 

quegli italiani

la 'brava gente'...

infatti

il termine 'genocidio' e usato

ed e adatto

poi si sono comportati cosi pure

in etiopia, nel ex yugoslavia e in grecia

momo qadafi ha pagato $30 milla dollari per finanziarlo

ed e ben speso

anche se gli attori principali erano inglesi

per i beduini ed i fascisti

e quasi tutto il dialogo era in inglese

che e un gran peccato

ma immagino che era fatto nella speranza di darlo una udienza internazionale

(che poi non e funzionato)

communque era bannato in italia per quasi venti anni!

oh raquel... electro banger

'Catch Warts, Not Feelings'

 

ahhh ryanair

whether its having the motorway turn off blocked off

and having to go at a million mph to the next one and double back

or wearing three jumpers and two pairs of trousers

to avoid the fascistic weight police

or paying an arm and a kidney for crap food 

because you are hanging like nobody's business

or promoting the idea of standing 'seats'

experiencing mammoth frustration on shitty dial up trying to snag that cheap flight

only to see the fare go up every time your pants connection refreshes

or getting high out the front of stansted at 4am

with some rando italians

or having to get the eye wateringly expensive train

and spending an uncomfortable night on horrid plastic chairs

because your cheap flight departs at arsehole oclock...

ive flown with them many times

mostly because they happily accept pay offs from unfashionable destinations

GOA-STN and back again, again (and again)

from BGY and SNN

maybe more...

but me no complain

ive got some cracker deals

some for a few visa safety nets (just in case)

that were never intended to be used

snapped up for a tenner or less

ahh ryanair

bend over and enjoy the ride...
