I’ve caught something nasty. Bacterial, I think. Whatever it is, its SOP seems to involve making me vomit a lot. And that’s it.
More soon.
UPDATE: Heh heh. Still feeling lousy, though.
UPDATE 2: This thing really put me down. It’s like getting a TKO from Tokyo from Piston Honda. Should be up and about soon, I think.

And he had the coolest theme song, too.

Get better soon!
Hope you’re not running a high fever!?
Get well soon. BTW - just visited the L Files which is displaying exactly the same “Out Sick” message although with a different ad underneath. I’m assuming that people have seen Mike and Domen in the same room before so is this a virus that effects blogs as well as their authors? Or is it me that has the virus?
Welcome to the club Micheal. Tho, no vomiting here.
Ospen 1 000 000 ie all the way!
Afaik, now there are lots of Rotaviruses around, aka “Trebušna gripa” (trans. stomach flu), so for that antibiotics wouldn’t help.
Get well soon, Michael!
Get well soon, kamelica helps! So does tea made of fresh ginger if you can get it, or even powdered ginger made into tea helps.
Actually the thing which actually helps is garlic, allicin in it.
Kamilica is anti-bacterial iirc.
Must be your departure from Zadar and the beautiful coast that triggered this. Last time I went I was sick for about 4 months. Only thing that cured me was a daily dose of 3 garlic cloves, a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar washed down with a shot of slivovitz.
Na zdravlje!
Darko, your therapy sounds much like “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”…
Hm…. a journalist’s medicine: get drunk on schnaps of your choice. I mean really drunk. Cook the schnaps to almost boiling hot. Add sugar and drink in excess. If it don’t kill you you’ll be walking in two days time
Why are you so sick, Mike?
Did you get tanked on a load of Michelobs!
…in my case it’s the “pay one get two” offer in the skeletton bar in old Ljubljana that makes me feel quite bad today…
Alcessa,
I think garlic and vinegar can cure anything, even sloth. And vinegar can clean everything, even one’s polluted mind.
Plus, either or both are great at keeping people at an appropriate distance…which is good since distnace does make the heart grow fonder, n’est ce pas?
Sloth, polluted mind…? I thought Michael caught something (or something caught Michael, which is the same in this case).
I’d say some fastening could be useful.But I guess it also depends on the person.
Distance is good, c’est vrai.
I meant FASTING of course, NOT FASTENING as in fastening and WHIPPING
Hmm, Alcessa, perhaps fastening is the way to go. Remember the last time Michael had some sickness problems, well, Michael’s computer had some sickness problems? Although we all know he was chomping on bon-bons and having his grapes peeled while relaxating on the coast somewhere.
Hmmm, maybe he will soon be glad to be back: it seems there’s going to be a war between SLO and CRO.
With our current (and eternal, it seems) foreign minister war seems inevitable… At least a war of egoes
Michael, did you by any chance author this Wikipedia entry?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomik_harmonik
Because if you did, that explains your illness. Clearly God (or maybe Atomik Harmonik) is punishing you for your sins.
Get well soon.
I threw up all over Croatia on my way home from Montenegro in July. Hm.
Jean: I’m proud to say that among the many accomplishments of my life so far is the fact that I have NOT spent time editing the AH entry on Wikipedia. That said, I really laughed at the recent changes. In case wikipedia figures it out and fixes it, here’s what it currently says:
“Their music is a fusion of Slovenian folk rythms and lyrics, combined with a Serbian-influenced rythm that gives them a special sound that can only be characterised as junk. However, they are extremely popular in the low-IQ community of rural Slovenia, and are very welcome at any “veselica” that the local volounteer Fire Department might organise.
“Any fame of the group can only be credited to the looks of the two singers - a well-endowned girl in peasant clothes evokes fond images of fornicating in the hay to most of the male population of Germany and Austria.”
I’ll start posting again on Monday.
Must be some rare and particularly nasty kind of electronically contagious bug you’re spreading there! I was perfectly fine until I read your post yesterday. Today I (seriously) feel like somebody keeps grinding a Japanese sushi chef’s knife in my throat and neck. If it’s not your killer bug that did me in it might have to do with the fact that I swam in 20° cold vrbsko jezero on Wednesday…
They must have fixed it, the article now in place was a really tame stub!
I LIKE Atomik Harmonik! I’ve actually gotten people here in the Gulag to like them too!
But then we like all sorts of music here, and don’t care about their endowments. They are funny and do a funny video.
@novala, stay home and get well please!
@retailtherapist, did someone say to ‘jump in the lake’? One shouldn’t just because someone says that!
Wow, somebody has quick reflexes. Good thing Michael preserved the original for posterity.
Oh man, Wikipedia is better than all sliced condiments. So is Punch Out.
Katja: there’s always the history button on wikipedia…
Michael:hope you’re feeling better. Oh, BTW, that theme song is like *the* most famous classic Japanese song, kinda like Na planincah - everybody knows it. Heck, I knew how to play it on the koto a long long time ago…
