Contrary to some reports, pengovsky.com is still operational. I’m here to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I’m all out of gum. But since real life still does take priority over this blog, the deluge of posts y’all have been used to slowed down to a trickle. But things will eventually get back to normal. At any rate, there’s lots to write about. Campaigning for referendum on the arbitrage agreement has barely begun and yet punches below the belt are already thick on the ground. Then there’s “malo delo” (no, Camille, I haven’t forgotten 😀 ), some overall analysis is overdue as well, not to mention the post on the city so nice they had to name it twice.

But I guess you’ll have to put up mostly with nudity this week. Poor you.

P.S.: thanks to cookie for a great movie quote.

The Glory of Carniola, frozen in time.

As Les pointed out yesterday, 1 February marks the anniversary of The Glory of Carniola going dormant. The event should indeed not go unmarked, especially since TGoC and its creator Michael M. were probably the single most important factor in pengovsky’s decision to start bloggin’ fo real with his own blog, domain and all.

Here’s to hoping that Carniola and Michael will one day be back. In whatever way, shape or form they may choose to do so.

P.S.: While we’re in the sorely missed category, the absence of La Poulette and Crni is also painfully noted (although the latter occasionally still pops up). The same goes for a whole lot of other people who kept the blogosphere going in the good old days. Good thing alcessa is still here 🙂

Contrary to media reports, what hit Silvio Berlusconi in the face on Sunday, was not a miniature cathedral. It was, in fact, a specially requested Chuck Norris’ roundhouse kick in the face.

Suddenly my N96 seems so feeble…

OK, so it’s not exactly the same as the legendary “Man Bites Dog“, and I’m sure you’ve probably seen it already, but to lighten the load of international treaties, accusations of high treason and the fact that suddenly this country is replete with experts on international law (just as it was replete with experts on English language a week ago), here’s something completely different

(…)a man is alleged to have bitten two people following a dog show in the Latvian capital, Riga, on Sunday, the Baltic News Service reported Tuesday. Police were called after a 27-year-old dog handler from Slovenia reacted in canine fashion when the dog he was parading failed to perform as well as he had hoped. (source)

Apparently the guy was from Maribor. Figures 😈
