  • My goal has been for ages to lose weight. Biking to work was not feasible for time efficiency reasons. I gave up Coke (for something better). Now the food season is upon us and despite some progress I’m back where I was last year. So now I got a stationary bike for in front of the TV. It costs as much as a year of gym, but I can do it anytime. At least that’s the theory.

    Also I’m probably going to pay for a dating app now. My request for friends and family to take pictures of me has largely gone unfulfilled, though.





  • Loose fit, but my family lived in Australia for a few years. We’re German. One night, my dad feels like a shake after a long drive to a vacation spot, so he drives up to a McDonald’s and orders, the rest of the family dozing in the car.

    “One erdber shake, please.”

    “Excuse me?”

    “One erdber shake, please?”

    “… I don’t understand.”

    At this point my mum realized.

    “Oh, a strawberry shake!”

    We all have a bit of a laugh. He said the German word for strawberry, but pronounced it English. None of us in the car realized and we all understood. The lady in the drive through said she thought they invented a new flavor she didn’t know about.

    He also swaps the th and s in Thous Australia. :)
