Partner was helping me change plugs in the Ogwife’s truck when he remarked ‘hey, I stumbled across the original meaning of “Din” (the industrial standards used in industry for many components and processed) “It means” he says, ” DIN – Deutsches Institut f\u00c3\u00bcr Normung” He didn’t even attempt the Bavarian accent. I said, “makes sense, who wants to say THAT all the time? it’s just like JIS, or “Japan Industrial Standard”. Partner replied “Yes, and besides, nobody can pronounce “fucking doghouse smileyface” (referring of course to the Kanji Characters)<\/p>\n

In other news, I found a twoney in my pocket this morning, the change from a fiver I took down to the Macs in owen sound while in Canada. It reminded me of this:<\/p>\n
Wife’s family is sitting around talking about the funeral and drinking. These folks can drink, I’ma tellya. -28 outside, and an OMG-35 windchill. Feet of snow. I get sent on an errand. <\/p>\n
So I’m standing in the Mac’s (the Canadian 7-11) and the woman gives me my change, I take the looney, the tooney, and the bag of ICE I’VE JUST PURCHASED, look at the counter girl, and think. “This is altogether the most ludicrous errand I have ever been on.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
