Malfeasance? TM evidently believes that in this century a Landy is fated to be a Chelsea tractor; from YT videos (which only show inanimate gear, not sheep or goats or anything practical) it appears they expect that one ought to rinse whatever one is transporting off before stowing it in the boot — completely backwards.

There is a very boomer joke, probably at least fifty years old by now, which involves a (male, of course) boss who interviews 3 (female, of course) secretarial candidates, and maybe there's some WPM involved, but he also gives them each a pile of cash as part of the interview.

One goes to the track, one invests in the overnight market, etc.

So which one does he hire?

The one with the most wood in front of the hut.

Btw, i wasnt suggesting that you pair HN with EtOH like tptacek does — loading up on a few yt rhymes should achieve the same effect for you? Conviviality without killing any brain cells..

    Both austrian: Gina Lampl and Albert-Mario Lampel

    The singers rotate pretty frequently, but the core of their line up has stayed reasonably constant since they were much younger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuMUOiaHPA4

        Gini sings in english, but it looks like she's also Styrian: https://ginimusic.at/presse/

        Did you get to/understand the bra story from the Radio Melody interview?

        (AML was sticking to high german for the interview; for a better example of his dialect listen to the intro to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSwQ1icECNg , handily subtitled in what we call "writing german")

        [I can't tell but suspect the tractor there, despite being in Deere livery, is a Steyr as well]

        Incidentally, Radio Melody also interviewed Gölä*, which gives me an excuse to point you at the yodel-crossover version of "Indian": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLTLlGCknUw

        * this is the local word for, not shit in general, but specifically the slurry with which fields are fertilised. Durrenmatt also uses it in "The Visit" (1956), but names his town Güllen — dialect being oral and not written, orthography often has a few local conventions but otherwise, as english orthography once was, is up to personal taste.

    Hey. I paired a block party with HN. I do not generally pair HN and drinking!

      Aah pls pardon the calumny! (I enjoyed the few times when you were somewhat explicit about taking a choice cut of the truth, presumably encouraged by diluted ethanol)

        secret tip: if I'm posting between 6PM and 10PM on Friday or Saturday, (a) make fun of me for posting on Friday or Saturday night, and (b) i've probably had something high-proof to drink. I only drink on weekends, which is awesome and everyone should try it.

          before we can accurately mock, we'll need to know your exact time zone...

          (I'm guessing North America?)
