It's time
We behind the beingadonis blog would like to thank you, our readers, for your faithfulness and contributions, and announce that we will be back within a month’s time with two quite original and hopefully entertaining projects that are currently in the planning phase. The links will be posted in this blog upon launch, so keep checking in. The beingadonis blog will not be continued for now since we feel it is time to express ourselves in a new format. It has been a true joy and an honour.
Thank you, merci, a bientot, and bye for now.

Moving on
During the next two weeks I will be slightly preoccupied with the moving process, finding a new apartment and all that, so the pace of publishing will most certainly slow down a bit. But please check in now and then and I promise to be back, stronger than ever, as soon as I’ve settled in and had a few pints of Guinness.

Only in France?
Yesterday I experienced for me unprecedented queue arrogance. I have seen a lot of people cheat in lines, the queue culture is not as strict here as in northern parts of Europe, but this took the price. I was in one of two lines for the cash registers in a sports store. In the queue beside me there was an old French couple. They were there before me, but in a different queue. And then as I had waited in line a minute or so, the man in the couple leaves his place in their queue to take a better one, right in front of me! I was so astonished I couldn’t even say anything. I thought that there must be some kind of explanation, but in retrospect, I think not. If anyone could attempt an explanation I am all ears. The man did not look senile.

Other side of the woods
When I was a child, there was a man, who lived on the other side of the woods. He could not understand, why God, who is so wise, had created
Doormen

When you can sit on a rock, in the forest, and just watch. Tv.

Who peed on your floor dude?
One morning a couple of months ago, my French roommate woke up to a quite surprising sight. Next to his bed in the middle of the floor there was a pool of brown/yellow liquid, perhaps a litre or so. Naturally he was baffled, and since there was no one else around, he turned his suspicion against me, asking if I had peed on his bedroom floor. He even told me that he had dreamed that he heard the sound of someone peeing. To the best of my knowledge, I was innocent, so we started brainstorming about possible explanations. A cat that snuck in. No. We couldn’t find a cat so we ruled that option out. A rat! Rats can get in through tiny openings, but neither my roommate nor I had ever heard about rats relieving themselves in people’s bedrooms. We did not entirely rule this theory out though. Given the volume of the pool, a hamster was also suggested.
The following days, this mysterious pool occupied my mind. The thought of rodents leaving liquid souvenirs in your flat is not a reassuring one. But as time passed we stopped talking about this incident, until it happened again. This time the pool was even bigger, and some of the liquid was also found on top of the bed. It was time to find the culprit and hold it responsible. So we grabbed our weapons of choice, a golf club each, climbed up on the bed in our morning robes, and started poking around. No creature was to be found. We noticed though that the liquid had splashed up against the closet. This would require someone peeing from a higher altitude than a rat would be capable of. The liquid was also odourless.
So, as we gazed upwards to find the source, we saw a brown stain alongside a beam in the roof. Water had been leaking through the wooden beam, attaining the urine-like colour, and then splashing down on the floor. Mystery solved, golf clubs back in the bag, silly feeling settling in.

Predictability
I made a point about the visible pattern in Will Smith’s choice of movie characters in an earlier post. It is convenient for me that in his latest movie, "Hancock" he plays.... a superhero! If he would suddenly start playing losers or bad guys, I'd loose the pleasure of trash talking him.

Fictioned reality or reality fiction?
She was freed one week ago in a spectacular rescue operation where Colombian army agents infiltrated the FARC and convinced the rebel in charge of the hostages that they should be moved to the new nr 1 guy, Alfonso Cano. Once the hostages were inside the helicopter, the accompanying rebels were neutralized, and the army agents revealed their identity. Not a single shot was fired. Not a single dollar changed hands. Officially, that is. Swiss radio has claimed that according to “reliable sources”, a ransom of 20 million dollars was paid for the release of the hostages, and the check was supposedly written by the US government (3 of the released hostages were US contractors on a counter narcotics intelligence mission). The “operation” could merely have been a PR stunt to build up confidence for president Uribe and to calm worried investors to start pumping money into the emerging but unsafe market of Colombia.
The only reason I have to believe in this theory is that the whole operation sounds a little bit to perfect and Hollywood like. Speaking of Hollywod, several movie scripts about the Betancourt story are already in the pipeline. I can picture Benicio del Toro in the role of an infiltrating Colombian army agent. Too bad Raul Julia isn’t alive to play the part of hostage guard nr 1. What a box office failure though, if it somehow is proven before the grand premiere, that the whole operation was indeed scripted. Sometimes reality actually beats fiction. In this case, I will not be very surprised if, as usual, it's the other way around.

Robert Mugabe, rhetorical mastermind
Mugabe is also stupid. To show you, here’s a few examples. The following is a statement he made about homosexuality:
“It's unnatural and there is no question ever of allowing these people to behave worse than dogs and pigs. If dogs and pigs do not do it, why must human beings? We have our own culture, and we must re-dedicate ourselves to our traditional values that make us human beings... What we are being persuaded to accept is sub-animal behaviour and we will never allow it here. If you see people parading themselves as lesbians and gays, arrest them and hand them over to the police!"
Apparently he sets dogs and pigs sexual instincts as a frame of reference for what kind of sexual preferences humans should have. No comment needed. And this is what he said about Hitler:
"This Hitler has only one objective: justice for his people, sovereignty for his people, recognition of the independence of his people and their rights over their resources. If that is Hitler, then let me be a Hitler tenfold". Enough said.
And to top if of, I give you his latest blunder. Take a look at this clip where Mugabe is “bothered” by an ITN correspondent:
..
..
His answer is obviously not very well thought trough. He knows he stole the elections, that the process was unfair, he tries to attack the British with his reponse, and the result is poetic:
ITN Correspondent: "On what basis do you regard yourself as President of Zimbabwe?"
Mugabe: "On the same basis as Gordon Brown regards himself as Prime Minister of Zimbabwe."
So, on a false basis. Smooth Robert, very smooth..

My big brother Sweden
I read the news and I wonder what is happening to my home country of Sweden. Since I left there has been suggestions to store all sms traffic, to listen to all digital traffic crossing the nation’s borders, and now in the latest attempt to breach the integrity of the Swedes, the social authorities suggested to keep record of all kids below 18 that are overweight. What is next? To register how much alcohol each person buys in the government controlled stores so that doctors could be alarmed of unhealthy consumption?
George Orwell’s 1984 should be mandatory reading for future generations of Swedes so that people realize that for each step in this direction, no matter how well intended, we are heading for a big brother society.

Scare tactics in different worlds
In Sweden, if you vote against a controversial law on wire-tapping all digital traffic crossing the nation’s borders, your right wing party colleagues will tell you that soon you might not have any friends left.
