LATE NIGHT SHIZNIT

It is possible, and even likely, that women do this too. But I can only speak for men. Many men. Single men. In San Francisco. Who sometimes think in foreign languages. Okay, specifically, Dutch American middle-aged grumps living between Polk Street and Chinatown, who smoke pipes and might indulge in a little whisky. Or coffee late at night. Tea at any time.

Earlier last night Ms. Bruin (the head roomie, a teddy bear) had read Snidely the sheep the riot act for being a right bastard towards Clarissa the little girl hamster and threatening to trim her whiskers. No wonder grandpa Hamster hated his ass and wished to beat him with a walking stick.
It would be the right thing to do. Fierce chastisement.

Don't even think of threatening hamster whiskers.
You deserve a horrible fate if you do that.
Fierce and savage beatings.

Then my apartment mate retired to her room, and peace descended.
Sometime after midnight I woke from a nap.
And went to youtube.


Which no doubt a very large percentage of the aforementioned fifty plus New Word Netherlandish personages in the Nob Hill area would naturally do, with or without a bowlful of Virginia and a spot of Loch Bunsworthy.
I actually had a cup of tea and a cheroot.


Recommended for me, by Youtube, based on previous clicks: 露営の歌, Televangelists: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Kad Slavonci krenuše - Partizanska pjesma, 夕陽之歌 - 梅艷芳, Swedish Chef turtle soup, The Kids in the Hall - Chicken Kabob, The People's Liberation Army Song, Killaloe, Rachid Taha- ya rayeh, La Marseillaise, 張國榮, 許冠傑 - 沉默是金 ...

Because of that last item, which was a duet by Leslie Cheung (張國榮) and Sam Hui (許冠傑), the next hour afterwards was spent listening to Leslie.
He has been gone since 2003. He was a great actor, a great singer.
And, it must be said, a remarkably nice looking fellow.
There was a likability to him.

The final song of the night was by Anna Lui.

Quite likely many of the people at work and many of the places I frequent elsewhere would neither understand nor appreciate much of this selection. "Oh well", they might dismissively say, "that's all just the shiznit that Northern California Dutchmen with bad taste like".


There was also some Anita Mui in the mix.
As well as 張學友 and 鄺美雲.
Truly great stuff.
