  • Pósturinn

    Sést hann síðla nætur.
    Seinn er ekki á fætur.
    Lætur pakka og bréf í bílinn sinn.
    Börnin þekkja Pál og bílinn hans.
    Brosa og hlæja allir er Palli veifar.
    Kannski, vertu þó ekki of viss.
    Heyrist bank. Bank! Bank!
    Dring! Dring! Dring!
    Um lúgu læðist bréf.
    Um lúgu læðist bréf.

    Pósturinn Páll

    (við enduðum vinnudaginn á smá hópsöng)

  • sonic boom

    that loud noise this morning?

    that was probably the sonic boom caused by siggimus cycling by at lightning speed, risking life & limb, seeking to gloriously better his previously (& thitherto undisputed) world record (& personal best) at cycling from his house to his work!

    so, that one is now in dispute, old news, has-been, as it has been bettered!

    so, there is a new (hitherto undisputed) world record (& personal best) at cycling from siggimuses house to siggimuses work!

    trattera! read’em & weep (sob even & water mice & whatnot):

    • total time: 00:15:10!
    • distance: 6,86 km
    • avg spd: 27,1 km/h

    up from 15:27, that’s a besting of 17 seconds! best that!

    on the rock

    ’twas mighty hot, enough to melt cheese in underpants
