Northeast record for longest held Netflix film

In: Mirth

0 comments

Apparently, I hold the Northeast record for the longest held Netflix movie: 2.5 years.

 

A 3.5 hour “potent drama that follows 14-year-old Hungarian Jew Gyuri Koves. After the Nazis take him into custody, Gyuri is moved from one death camp to another, witnessing increasingly greater atrocities that erode his spirit. When the camp is liberated, Gyuri returns home a survivor, but his neighbors— who want to forget WWII’s horrors— go out of their way to avoid him.”

 

The runner-up is a certain John P. Shales of Danbury, NH, who has held onto “The Hottie and the Nottie” for 1 year and 3 months— and only because he passed away seven months ago.

Apparently, at the time of this video, she is in kindergarten. Draconian discipline plus great talent?

The Life and Times of RaRa, the Penguin

This penguin is not being mistreated or forced into indentured servitude. According to various sources, the family found him tangled in a fishing line with serious injuries, nursed him back to health, and he refused to leave after recuperating. Apparently, he makes trips to the fish market by himself, and is— or was— well known in the area. (King Penguins can live up to 30 or more years in captivity. He was estimated to be 10-14 at the time of the video, which was made in the late ‘90s or early oughts, so there’s a good chance that he’s alive and thriving.)


Note to Sasha: Ok, I put the video of the penguin on my ‘blog.’ You are now my ‘blog correspondent.’ For the time being, I will pay you in pickled herring. Or, if you wish, you can choose to be paid in sweat equity.

Show your support by liking FWIW on FB and/or G+, where I post something worthwhile (illuminating, informative, poetic, comic, tragic, usefully irreverent, captivatingly absurd) sporadically, whenever the mood strikes. . . You never know what you're going to get, but if I'm doing things right, whatever it is should ultimately enrich rather than detract from your life.
