GREECE-EUROFINMIN NEGOTIATIONS: The art of blending in

Further to the Slogpost of earlier, I offer this glowing testimony to the old truism that a picture is worth a thousand words. Think of the cat as Yanis Varoufakis:

Huge hat-tip to Dean Plassaras for this wonderful insight…

Last night I happened to glance up and noticed, and heard, a screech owl overhead, and at that moment I swear I could taste retsina, I haven’t drunk retsina for more than forty years.

Outstanding!

But here is the thing (a page from the instructions manual): the more you praise the cat the more difficult you make it for him to blend in. Just a thought. :)

Keep saying: “that’s a nice bunch of Merkel owls” and we might have a chance.

Cheers! :)

Continuing the cat theme, been mulling over a strong visual connection between: Alexis Tsipras, Antonio Banderas and the cat in Shrek. If below image insertions don’t work, please have a look yourself.

Never inserted images into a comment before so apologies if this doesn’t work: ,, voice of cat in Shrek

Not really, because pigeons don’t pay attention. But the Merkeschauble owl is ever watchful. : -)

Unless I have misunderstood, shouldn’t the owls be pidgeons?

The Owls and the Pussycat were all at sea 
On an exhausted Geek cash float.
They looked for money, plenty of money
Of Euros and five pound notes. 
The Owls looked to the EU stars above
And sang to a small guitar, 
“O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love, 
What an intransigent Pussy you are, you are, you are,
What an intransigent Pussy you are.” 
Pussy said to the Owls “You elegants foul,  
But how charmingly sweet you sing
O let our debts be carried, too long we have tarried; 
for we can do nothing” 
They argued away, for a year and a day 
To the land where the QE-tree grows
And in Bretton Wood the PIGIS stood 
With hands out in rows and rows and rows. With hands out in rows
“Dear PIGIS, are you willing to repay our shillings?” 
Said the PIGIS, “we will” 
So they looked t’other away, and were joined next day 
By Turkey who lives down the hill.
They opened the Mints, and began to print, 
And inflation arrived all to soon.
And hand in hand, on the edge of the abyss,
They danced by the light of the moon, the moon, the moon, 
They danced by the light of the moon.

(With apols to Edward Lear)
