Good morning everyone! Happy Paddy’s Day from Ireland where it is a public holiday and there will be parades and street stalls and music and pubbing.

Jerry should be arriving at his destination soon, if he’s not already there; and he will catch up with us as soon as he is able. In the mean time, let us catch up with our four-footed existentialist friend from Poland.

 

Hili: Still life with a cat.
A: I can see the cat but where is still life?
Hili: I ate it.

In Polish:

Hili: Martwa natura z kotem.
Ja: Kota widzę, a gdzie martwa natura?
Hili: Zjadłam.

  1. Hili always makes me smile, but that one made me lol! Thank you Andrzej. 🙂

      1. Maybe she’s sprucing herself up for a game of hazelnut soccer?

        The game will end when all the hazelnuts have been batted into locations under furniture etc. where they’re impossible to retrieve.

  2. Ah, Hili…

    Anyway, I guess this is for later, but the parade has started so I jump in:

    “The US theme park operator SeaWorld says it is ending its controversial orca breeding programme.

    The decision means the orca whales currently at the parks will be “the last generation”, the company said. …

    SeaWorld’s treatment of its orcas was highlighted in the 2013 documentary Blackfish, which focused on a series of violent incidents involving an orca called Tilikum.

    The film also raised questions over the ethics of breeding programmes and practices such as the separation of calves from their mothers.

    Since the film was released visitor numbers have fallen at Sea World’s main theme parks and its share price has halved.
    SeaWorld described the film as inaccurate, misleading and exploitative and launched a multi-million dollar marketing campaign to rebuild its reputation.

    Blackfish director Gabriela Cowperthwaite was quoted by HSUS as saying the decision to end orca breeding represented “truly meaningful change”.”

    May it please Ceiling Cat.

  3. The pres. of Sea World and the human society were on the CBS morning news just a moment ago. I guess the PR has begun.

    1. Oh, that should have been in reply to Mr. Larsson.

      So when does the Irish part leave the person? How many generations? Apparently about the same as the German part. This calls for a serious study.

      2. Mr. Schenck, thanks for the response, Randy.

        My guess is that the beer part leaves before the whiskey part. Not because German beers are shallower in some senses than Irish whiskey, but because you must leave room for more quicker.

        1. I had not thought in those terms but sounds pretty good. Was never much of a hard liquor type but I still dream of a German beer by the name of Lischer.
