Stuart has given me the feedback that I have not been clear that I have returned to the Island of Shakespeare, The Beatles and inspiring Kate Moss fashions. (To be fair, it actually wasn’t clear, as Lille has pointed out.)
Stuart says hi, by the way. Yo to the Chief!
So yeah. I’m home.
In other news, we are having a little impromptu Eurovision song contest party tomorrow. (Anyone who reads this and knows me, you’re invited. Shoot me an e-mail or call me and I will give you directions.) We were going to go to Richard’s but he has flaked. *So much for German’s being prompt and dependable.
*Okay, that’s a joke. I’m sure that there are lots of Germans that sleep in and skive off from work and Eurovision song contest parties. I just feel the need to explain because, you know, German’s don’t have a sense of humour.**
(Richard, you know I love you.)
**Okay. True story and then I will stop. No! I haven’t been drinking. . .
I didn’t witness this, but I knew people that were in the class. . .So a film teacher at UNLV was showing the classic Billy Wilder Film Noir flick, Double Indemnity. It came out in the late 40’s I think. There is a scene where Fred MacMurry goes to a drive thru- the kind where there are waitresses on roller skates and they bring the food out to you. He orders a beer. Everyone laughed at the anachronism because now you can be arrested if you have an open container in your car. (That was fun trying to explain that to Stuart in the states. No honey. You can’t drink that beer. No honey, even if I am the one driving.)
Anyhoooo.
The class laughs.
The teacher (who to be fair, was Austrian, not German) said, “THAT VHAS NOT FUNNY! You can only laugh vhen it is FUNNY! I VHILL tell vhou vhen it is FUNNY!”
Which may be one of the funniest lines I have heard, in my life, ever. (Every woman adores a Fascist. . .)

LOL!
Speaking of Stuart - did you bring him his skittles?
