Constantine and the Abgender

Saturday, April 27, 2013

Constantine, who had become clear after his first Dionysian evenings at Würzburg, that the university had to pay a so decorous as sustainable visit, first roamed a little space by itself as such a Altstudent or graduate student leader at the X-ray and Sanderring, Stadtaus looking round at the Botanical Institute as Hubland, auszuerspähen the right starting point and attack.

"Whoa!" - What he found there?

A small, almost innocent notice to the effect that this evening at 19.30 clock in the wake of General Studies at Sanderring a famous gay guest lecturer, Mr. Pete Reuben Randolf Dooley, on "The Genes Of Gender Studies" in the main auditorium a lecture in English with will discourage subsequent open discussion.

This pleased Constantine, of course, by having the roast duck but quite abspaziert, even probably, for thus he would have to again just a plucked with two or three pretzels, a leisurely to enjoyed Silvaner in the right beer garden, pounce, the ridge between boot times applied a so maybe funny how purposeful evening to look forward to.

Unfortunately, it seemed at first, so to speak, Constantine was talking to a theoretical physicist and his girlfriend, a philosophically very skilled Classicist deromaßen found that he still drank two Silvaner and arrived too late with the lecture still a good half hour, he alswo quite obliquely diskretest back up yet to set.

He was right on. The little man down there had talked himself into a kind of the most remarkable ecstasy, it was weird how everything was clear that there would be hinansteigern shortly to a decision proposition, a battle cry, a mantra, the quintessence of his stupidity out. And of course the sentence finally came. (It sat still something extra embarrassing retarding moment, then came but, as expected, for Hauptergusse.)

Perhaps for good

"I broke my arm, perhaps to my good"

This proverb, translated from the original Spanish, has long been one of my favorites.

Because this site is probably rarely visited by half illiterate or rather dim-witted, I do not always tell how strong metaphor is present here.

So I am just adjoining neighbor: the subjunctive.

"If I had told the boss that ... then ..." "If my girlfriend at the time had not been so stubborn ... then ..." "If I had not had the misfortune then that ... then ...!"

All kinds of such conditionals in the form of the "impossible condition", the impossible condition, we hear daily.

Strangely enough, but mostly soherum in speculation, except sometimes maliciously against others, that the person is talking about it, otherwise it would have fared better Unlucky today and he the greatest hero.

That, even something Schiefgegeganes otherwise could have been even more stupid, that instead of arm broken head, you can hear the other hand, very rarely. (more ...)
