Adventures in an igloo

If there's anything that will send me into the dreamland with a smile on my face it's a little 80s stroke of genius from my friends Thomas and Dieter. Naturally the special effects in the video are simply phenomenal!

This video actually brings back childhood memories about me getting money from my folks, taking the bus downtown and buying classic German culture magazines like Popcorn, Bravo and PopRocky (first and foremost for the stickers and posters- you wouldn't believe the immense cultural effect of stickers- very underrated indeed). I also think my marvellous German comes from "reading" such material from a very young age.

Anyway, back to the video:
Love the hair, love the clothes, love the drama, love everything!

Enjoy it all here.

Works every time!

Nobody likes going to the doctor's, except for maybe the odd masochist or the ladies looking to marry one (that is a doctor, not a masochist)...

Maybe it's due to the fact that pills are boring, really boring. Who wouldn't want remedies that have got a little more flair than pills?

So, that's why I'm sharing a nice cure for backache with you lot (this one's an old Icelandic one- so naturally it can't go wrong):

One of the most efficient cures when a backache is troubling you is to make a band of hair from a virgin or an "exceptionally good" person and then tie it near the back area. However, the best cure is to simply take an "unspoilt" virgin and tie her/him firmly to your back until the ache goes away.

The only problem in this day and age is finding a virgin or an exceptionally good person...
