Saturday: Hili dialogue

December 5, 2015 • 5:03 am

It’s Saturday, and I’m learning from experience that this is the worst day to post things that people will read, though I’m not quite sure why. (Someone suggested that people trawl the internet more often when they’re at work.) I may ratchet back on serious posting on Saturdays (Sundays are better) unless I hear otherwise. On this day in history, Kirk Douglas was born in 1916, making him exactly 99 today (and he’s still with us!), while the paleoanthropologist Mary Leakey died in 1996.  Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, Hili is taking it out on the sofa for the bizarre reason that it never showed her mercy (but it did, for it gives her a comfy place to sleep!). Sometimes Hili baffles me. . .

A: Hili, have mercy on this sofa.
Hili: The rule of reciprocity applies in such situations.

In Polish:
Ja: Hili, miej litość nad tą sofą.
Hili: W takich sprawach obowiązuje reguła wzajemności.

  1. I suspect people have things to do on Saturdays so aren’t online as much. Saturday is my work week recovery day from the reprehensible atrocities I’ve usually suffered, so I’m usually at home & online.

  2. As the Wiki says – Douglas is maybe the last living actor from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Made over 90 films and 7 of them with another guy I really liked, Burt Lancaster. Not bad for a guy named Izzy Demsky.

  3. I do read your Saturday posts PCC(E), but as for Heather Hastie it is Sunday here at the time.
