Crazy Frog and the raisins in her head

___________________________________

Marina and me have a female customer who is quite crazy, therefore we call her Crazy Frog ;o).

Originally, Crazy Frog is a computer animated frog with a helmet, great teeth (including a space width) and a little penis. Beyond http://www.youtube.com/ you can find the original Crazy Frog by searching for "Crazy Frog Axel F." because this was the most famous song by the Frog and its inventors (released in the year 2005).

"Our" Crazy Frog is 40 years old, blonde and searches for a new job - she has worked as a secretary for many years but now she wants to make a change, for example by contributing old people in every day matters or as an administrator in an event agency. Crazy Frog is the first human we know who wants to get drunken by consuming mineral water. Medium is her preferred kind of water, this means it is no still water but it sparkles less than other mineral waters. Ostensible, the air in her office on the other side of the street is very dry because of the air-condition there, so she has to drink very much mineral water when she visits us and obviously she can't get enough of it. Cheers!

Moreover, she sits beside/behind us when we create a covering letter for her or scan her certificates - she's the first customer who behaves like this. A few weeks ago I explained to her that it takes some time to correct and improve a covering letter, so she finally left until I sent her the final version by e-mail. She was sorry for her behaviour and told me that she's often very impatient...I think this might have changed a little.

In the smokers' corner she told me that she wants to make a change in her profession and told me many, many ideas she had in her mind (as mentioned above) and these ideas are clashing in her head like raisins...;o). Marina and me think this comparison is very funny, so Marina also blogs about Crazy Frog, too. Certainly, she is sorry for the raisins in Crazy Frog's head because she likes fruit very much.

When I start writing my next novel I already plan to integrate Crazy Frog in the plot, at least in the first chapter ;o). In the first chapter there will be funeral (this is nothing new - funerals are often part of my stories) and Crazy Frog will drive the mortician and his assistant fucking nuts with her questions and the permanent twitch in her face. And, of course, Steffi will LOVE during the funeral ceremony, haha! The rest of the plot just remains a secret ;o).

Tornados in Germany and unintended mistakes

As I saw in the RTL news yesterday evening, a terrible tornado caused massive damage in the US state Mississippi :o(. I think, the Tornado season has started in the USA.

In Germany, in the last years the number of Tornados increased. Compared to the US where Tornados only appear in the so-called Tornado Alley in the Southern States in the time between April and June, in Germany they can be seen in the months between March and October but it's depending on the temperatures. When the March is still cold with much frost and snow, tornados cannot be seen in Germany - they first appear when the temperature is higher than 25°C. They can be seen in every part of the Republic. Especially they appear very often at the coast of the Northern Sea, even at the open water a few miles away from the shoreline.

On 18 July 2004, a tornado hit the Pot in the early evening. It started up in Duisburg, ripped through Oberhausen and parts of the Northwest of Essen, in this case Dellwig which is situated next to the city limit to Bottrop. Fortunately, no-one got injured but some buildings were partly destroyed because some trees fell on the roof of different houses in Oberhausen. In Essen only some roofing tiles were torn apart. This tornado was categorized as a F1 or F2.

Frequently there can be seen a lot of funnel clouds all over Germany in the months of spring and summer, so the tornado does not hit the ground but you can see who the clouds start rotating. These funnels can be seen more often than tornados. When there are terrible thunderstorms, mostly torrential rain, hailstorms with stones that could be as big as a tennis ball and lightning strikes might occur.

When I am going to write my next novel, it is planned to integrate a tornado in the plot, moreover Steffi will make love during a funeral ceremony ;o). I found this mistake in my last blog entry but of course I corrected it ("The other mourners were angry with Steffi because she laughed during the funeral ceremony."). When Marina and me read my unintended mistake ("The other mourners were angry with Steffi because she loved during the funeral ceremony."), we laughed loudly and could not stop it! Marina was quite disappointed when I corrected my mistake because the situation that someone is making love while others are mourning at an open grave is more funny and morbid, haha! This might be a good aspect for my next novel. Moreover we asked ourselves in this context whom Steffi might have loved during the sepulture ceremony. The priest? An attractive young men taking part in the funeral? The mortician or his assistant? Sorry, this is our black humour.
