Today I bought the Herald Tribune, I wanted to feel what you, Mr. Arnon, always feel. It wasn't much. I liked the paper, it was thursdays paper. The use of breaking of a sentence on the frontpage (and redirecting to another page) was a new thing to me, I don't quite like it (yet).

Too bad you've got to leave. Too bad I 'll have to read about your adventures later on. Too bad I'll have to read your novel later on. Too bad I don't know what you thought about your godson and his mother.

This blogentry somehow made me smile on a depressing day.

Murnau

Last week Johannes and I visited Arnon in Murnau, driving a cabrio and injuring Amante. We have documented our journey in this short movie:

We will miss you being in Germany, I had a wonderful time! For your sake I hope you didn't think of my naked body while serving our breakfast..

That's lot of car, and not too much of story.

Wat loopt die Anton geconcentreerd en zo fier!

Piercing

I hate the Bavarians.I Hate the mountains.I hate dirndls.But who is that guy with the piercing in his eyebrow(in the movie)?That looks really sexy.I´d like to marry him.

True enough, everyone's equal without any clothes on - well maybe twenty years old are more equal than others...
Not much of a story indeed for one without a driving licence, but one does get a good glimpse; Arnon, you're a natural...Did you make an effort to remember the guests'names and use it three times in a conversation? and how many sugar they take or whether they want their tea spinned counter-clockwise or opposite?

Herald

That' s funny Dennis! I also bought the Herald today! Becouse the NRC didnt arrive in my Provence village! A had also the choise for the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, but 1 paper a day is enough paperwork on some deadly-heated summerdays like these are now.

Dens

Sit next to the bed while I read 'Jip & Janneke' to my son if you want a story from me.

The movie was a slight impression of our journey, which involved some serious driving. I leave the storytelling to the master, just hoped to give you all a glimpse of what it looked like in and around Murnau. For all those that ventured on the journey but never arrived.

'G'

Otherwise: why be mystherious about the hotel? I did 1 google and had the answer in 0.0000063 seconds.

Goodbye Anton Morsink, submissive but resolute!
Can I sometimes borrow the name now as Anton Morsick? Sounds great.

Jan Thys

Anton Morsink will come back, but of course you can be Anton Morsink as well.
A friend in New York once told me: “Bikini is a state of mind.”
The same thing can be said about Anton Morsink.

Dens

Why do you want to know everything? Will a little imagination you cann fill in the blanks yourself.

Erik M

Not everybody is so talented with google as you are.

Manon

The young man you are referring to is called Johannes. He is a biology teacher among other things. For two years he lived in the beautiful city of Helsinki. He got married there. But the marriage ended sadly. His wife, a Finish lady, jumped from the balcony after a night partying and dancing with some of her Russians friends and she died fourteen hours later in a hospital. Since that time Johannes is forced to take care of her six cats and five rats.
Johannes is very much looking for a submissive but intelligent young lady for some chitchat.
From chitchat to marriage is not far.
His marriage to the Finish lady started with chitchat in a hardware store, just for your information.

Dating

Arnon,
First, this is not a dating site.
Second, the guy with the piercing is actually an alcoholic midget from Oberammergau, Bavaria. Sander paid him with Augustiner and a Happy Meal.

Johannes

That´s too bad.

Johannes

Excuse me for confusing you with a midget from Oberammergau.
As to this site being a dating site; we cannot prevent it from happening. People tend to follow their instincts.

Manon

When Johannes decided that this is not a dating site it’s useless to insist. Also Johannes informed us that the man you seemed to like a lot is a midget from Oberammergau.
You might want to travel to Oberammergau; the village is not that big and there are only a few midgets over there. Hope that this information was helpful.

Arnon

Very helpful indeed.I would never insist.

@Arnon: I've been wondering, do you consider yourself more an emotionally driven person or a cerebral type of person? Or do the two continually fight each other?

Noa

It's not or or it's and and, don't you think?

Manon

If you are interested in this man from Oberammrgau you may insist. He is worth fighting for, even if he is a midget.

Sander

The movie is quite interesting and very entertaining, I'm not sure if it was really necessary to show me half naked but you are entitled to your own ideas and opinions about necessity.

Arnon

I think a man could fight for me, for a change.I´m worth it.

@Arnon,
You're asking me?
If it's and and, then I suppose you do things/say things/write things while in an emotional frenzy which -at a later stage- you rationally analyse and detest and loath and therefore hate yourself for and then want to compensate but in doing so put such pressure on yourself making you re-enter into an emotional state and do things/say things/write things you later on rationally analyse and detest and so forth, and so on.

Necessity

If this was already half naked, I'm wondering how many clothes you are wearing when you're completely naked.

I don't think there was any necessity in this short movie, for any shot. That is probably what makes it utterly insignificant. But even insignificance can be entertaining or at least a not too disturbing method of bringing you three minutes closer to the end of the world.

After all the talk of skinny dipping I figured it would be nice to show that you actually did.

Skinny dipping = entirely naked, not half naked.

Noa

At a certain point the camera was turned off...

Noa

Probably you are analyzing yourself. Self-hatred is a matter of decency, nothing more, nothing less.

Noa

As of September 1 I offer readers the following service: I come and clean their bathroom, I’ll wear an apron and that’s all. The service is not cheap but well, it comes with a certificate: my bathroom was recently cleaned by Mr. Grunberg who was dressed in a Bavarian apron.
I would think this is better skinny-dipping.

Manon

If you want men to fight for you take the first train to Bavaria, start working as a waitress and hand out free beers to your regular customers. Happiness is not far away as long as we have Bavaria.

Arnon

You obviously fell in love with Bavaria.

Manon

All I’m saying is that a woman waiting for a man to fight for her might want to travel to Bavaria, and then especially to the part called Upper Bavaria.

Arnon

Well, all I am saying is that I do not want to travel to Bavaria. I hate Bavaria. But I would like to travel anywhere else to find an alcoholic midget who fights for me and wants to fall in love with me and who would make as many children-pardon,midgets-as possible with me. All this would make me very happy. So I will travel around the world very soon to find my midget and my happiness.
