lacrosse: out in quebec

The Toronto Sun (via bytelevel) says that GM is going to have to rename the Buick LaCrosse in Quebec because … it makes you sound lonely. Many of these stories turn out to be urban myths, but this one seems to be true.

niks aan de hand

VS Naipaul, In a Free State:
De weg sneed nu in een heuvel en de bochten waren scherp.
Een verkeersbord zei: Let op Gevallen Rotsen.
‘Dat is een van mijn favoriete verkeersborden,’ zei Bobby. ‘Ik kijk er altijd naar uit.’
Dit verkeersbordje kunt u zien tijdens deze wandeling.

google: sortida a borsa per ebay?

El Financial Times diu que vagin a subhastar les accions en línia, que seria un atac interessant contra l’actual dominació del procés pels grans bancs. També es permetria arribar a ser accionista sense massa dificultats, encara qu’els bancs diuen que aquest procés pugui resultar en un preu poc realista. Però, per eBay? No…

poques paraules

Voice of America emet programes especials usant solament 1500 paraules. El diccionari d’aquesta secció de l’emissora no conté la paraule dictionary: es anomena word book.

Apparently immigrants are being denied access to virtually all night bars in Barcelona’s popular Raval district. I’m an immigrant, and I’ve never had any problems getting in (getting out is a different story), so I guess El Periódico is using the same definition as one of my ex mother-in-laws: “You’re not an immigrant, you’re white!” Despite the beatings and the burnings, Spain’s nignogs don’t complain, which is why the Americans and British are clearly racists while it is equally clear that the Spanish were just having a little innocent fun with those damn Chinkies.

Code-swapping, rather than Gibraltar-Andalusian. This week’s instalment comments on the stateless national soap opera, maritime conflicts and confusions with Spain.

Yesterday the state-approved and -subsidised competition to Baldie Galactic was observed claiming that trencadís was yet more proof of the quite extraordinary originality of the Catalan mind, etc etc. Not so: it has been around for centuries, and any connoisseur of English cathedral windows will be familiar with my favourite application of break-it-and-mend-it–the new/non-sense created from jumbled shards of medieval glass at places like Wells and Winchester after the Puritans had smashed things up. Which isn’t in any sense to diminish the marvellous pique assiette undertaken by Josep Maria Jujol for old Mr Gaudy at Park Güell:


Nosferatu in Bremen is essentially a flitting liminality … the German soul instinctively prefers twilight to daylight.” Way too many bloody Teutonic incorporeal materialist graffiteros lurking around on c/ Molist, Barcelona.
