ay! ess! see! pee! I hope no one Googles me!
So I’m hanging out at the conference closing party. Mixing around.
Meet some people from Victoria. A nut from Sydney Uni bails me up and, noticing me looking at my friends over his shoulder, full on asks me if I would rather be talking to somone else. I try to excuse myself politely - he’s right, of course - but he seems intent on being offended, in a pathetic ‘I talk too much crap anyway’ kinda way. Whatever.
Then I’m busy making eyes at S, who I think is some other guy’s girlfriend but they’re such an unlikely couple I feel kinda justified.
Then we’re talking about the Nazi regime (don’t ask me why, I don’t start this kind of conversation) and we’re giving P, the German exchange student, crap about Hitler and all that:
Me: Okay then, we’ll stop mentioning Hitler if you agree not to bring up Crocodile Dundee.
P: Yah? He was blonde with blue eyes, wasn’t he? Very Aryan… Maybe he was a fascist himself.
Me: Ah - ya call that a Reich? This is a Reich!!
I guess you had to be there, but that was the funniest thing I’ve ever said and I wanted you to hear it.
Nothing much else happened. There were a few famous people there but you wouldn’t know who they were.

Did you wave around a knife pretending it was your personal little Reich?
When it’s not existential, religious or poliwaffle, it’s how much other countries suck in comparison to our sunburnt country just because we say so. :P

My daughter was born in a hospital originally shaped like a Swastika. Is that fucking Reichacally creepy?
The Nazi’s built it in the late 30’s.

Thats pretty funny, I might steal it. Although I’d have to work hard to get the set up going….

Yeah? Crap like that comes up way too often for me. You’ll find the right occasion eventually though - and then your inner beauty and wit will shine & you might even win a heart.
Maybe. Could happen.
