I have really nothing to add to this perfect Italian story. Newspapers ^(*) have said enough about it and everything is going exactly the way I have forseen long time ago.

I’ll blog about it as soon as it ends. And we all know how and where it will end

This is just a “say hi” post. Nothing about bikinis or mechanical raccoons.
Actually, I was going to talk about cyborgs, ninja squirrels, yellow submarines and cookie eating aliens, but I’m too tired right now. Will keep that for a future post.

voooolare… oh oh…. faaaallire… oh oh oh oh!!

Oh, I almost forgot: Hi!

^(*) This word should exclude any or most Italian newspapers, of course. Those are only "papers". No "news". They can’t call themselves "toilet paper" because the paper isn’t soft enough, and because Italians don’t care if you sell them crap and say it’s "news", but technically it’s toilet paper. Backed by the government.

So here I am back in Pisa, city of the leaning tower, the other leaning tower, the leaning building, the other leaning building, the other other leaning building, the leaning dog, the leaning mechanical raccoon and too few bikinis.

Yes, I am deep in bikini withdrawal. Please help me!

If that’s not enough, the ferry had a two hour delay and no excuses. I’m getting seriously p****ed of by that ferry company. I have been travelling on those damn ferries since I was born and it has been on time only a bunch of times.

So, I had to wait for the next train to Pisa too. A wonderful Italian train - which seems to come right from WWII. Not to mention that almost the whole train had no working air conditioning and half of the windows had been locked with screws (!!!). Thank you Trenitalia CEOs… thank you, but I really hope "you go to hell and you die".

Ok. Dinner time. And no bikinis

Dear Sergio Cofferati,

I appreciate your intent to make Bologna a "cleaner" city and I do believe that the "broken windows" theory might contain some truth, but let me explain you a few basic concepts.

Drinking a beer after 10 pm is not a crime, so forbidding the sale will only cause people to be more p***ed off and drink more.

Cleaning a car’s window shield is not a crime. If you are worried about some immigrant insulting car drivers at some crossroads, well, somebody ought to tell you that that’s already a crime. No matter if the guy is immigrant or comes from the moon, and no matter how he gets by.

I am free to get myself a piercing or a tattoo where the fuck I want! Did you get it? If some goddamn a*****e sells tattoos or piercing jobs with no concern to hygienic norms, he is already breaking some existing law!

Oh, and by the way… why don’t we just put some distinctive clothing on hippies and punks and whoever you don’t feel comfortable with?
Some very talented people and organizations already did this in the past with huge success! F**k tollerance and f**k helping people to meet and socialize. Let’s stuff them in some railway carriage and send them on a nice holiday.

Also, you could just shave yourself, wear some nice blue hat and yellow gloves and run around screaming "You Will Respect My Authoritah!", but I guess South Park fans would be rather p***ed off. Besides of you looking rather silly.

I’m sick of hearing people talk about "zero tolerance". They need to look up a damn dictionary.
We don’t need "zero tolerance", we need "zero crime" and "100% tolerance".

Yours sincerly,

a hippy that won’t be visiting Bologna very soon thanks to a ******** major like you
