Oh my! It looks like a condom, who comes up with these ideas? LOL! Oh haha, i just read this: About the Inventor
Paul Stremple is an Artist/Inventor/Architect. He was originally trained as an Architect for many high profile Fashion companies such as Gucci America, Inc., in New York, New York, Polo-Ralph Lauren and other private architectural firms with experience working on design projects such as Louis Vuitton: Paris, London; Guerlain: Paris; Chanel: Paris, New York. No wonder he's designing banana cases shaped like a condom, he's worked for Chanel! |

bahahahahahahaha. aw, don't make me laugh, i'm too sad tonight!  why do i insist on torturing myself by watching German films? they always make me feel afterwards that mankind is shit. it's just so horrible seeing an entire city be divided by the absurdity of building this huge wall around it... keeping people in like animals, separating families, stripping them of their right to come and go.. . i'm sorry, i know it happened more than 40 years ago but i find it amazing how no one really seems to remember it anymore. i especially dislike all those who claim to have been "victimized" by "Germans" as if the entire population of the country had heiled Hitler and walked around with swastikas on their foreheads. if you ask me, the German people suffered twice as much on the long run (FORTY years, people! not to mention the social/economical/personal aftermath that lingers on till this day in a city like Berlin, trust me, i've seen it) without even having the right of a peep about it. sorry for the rant, i'm pretty sure no one cares, really. oh well. no more krout films for me! |

meh, i make a retraction. i don't dislike the victims of Nazism (dear lord, how could anyone?), i just dislike the idea shouted at every corner of the world that all Germans are evil and period (well, some are) and they deserved what happened to them at the end and after WW2. most of the people who died in bombings and in prisons and were shot and raped after the russians occupied Berlin and the Stasis took over the country were just as innocent as those who perished in concentration camps.
again, i'm rambling for no reason. should this be in the forum for wounded topics that i never visit? lol.

LOL that's crazy! I can see the practical side of it, but I could just imagine what the jerks at work would say if I walked in with something resembling a banana-shaped dildo  |

no, not yet, but as soon as i quit i'll get my lawyers on their asses. the pay isn't all that's late, they haven't paid the employees' social security ever since i started working there, which will be a year in august. if they think they're getting away with it, they've got another thing coming.

Hoo, I'm a bit nervous. But let's start from the beginning: I don't have school anymore and my final exams are over too so my art teacher asked me one day if I have any job etc. after the exams. I said nope and she asked me could I be her substitute when she's got meetings and other stuff and she can't keep the lessons herself. I said that would nice (and besides, money is always good). It's only for this short time until the end of school and only on some days.
Well, tomorrow is my first day there. Of course the school and some of the pupils are familiar (after all, I've been at that school for 6 years) but also naturally I'm a bit nervous. But also a bit excited. I will keep five lessons tomorrow, mostly pupils continue their earlier works but one class will start a new one, so I have to tell them what to do. Heee....
