This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet …, but once I tried it on, that’s when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to ‘howl at the moon’ from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn’t have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn’t settle for the first thing that comes to him.

I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.

Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the ‘guns’), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark.

uncunning linguist

I’ve always admired those with a gift for tongues.

Traveling in Europe this summer I would have had a much easier time if I was fluent in …

Italian
German
Spanish
Swiss German
French
Basque
Catalan
Ladin
Asturian

I only speak a smattering of French, German and Spanish.

When a woman asked me if I had seen her lost dog, I spoke enough German to reply, I’ve not eaten your hound.

My greatest language barrier, however, was in Scotland. Who knows what those old Scots are saying?

privacy, ha … get over it

In the U.K. we can see what’s yet to come in the other large cities of the world.

They have cameras everywhere.

One London bus has 16 CCTV cameras inside.

So far they’ve spent £500m on the Closed Circuit TV program.

Does it work?

Only one crime was solved by each 1,000 CCTV cameras in London last year, a report into the city’s surveillance network has claimed.

The internal police report found the million-plus cameras in London rarely help catch criminals. …

BBC – 1,000 cameras ‘solve one crime’

details on the brilliant social commentary

At my hostel in Edinburgh there’s a sign in the kitchen saying:

Food has been stolen from this kitchen. If it continues, we’re actually going to take the time to review the video camera monitoring it!

I think these cameras are inevitable. They don’t work now. But our robot overlords will improve them over time.
