I'm presently making one of my rare trips to a big shopping centre (husband is getting a haircut). Sitting in the shopping mall waiting for him, and look up to see a big sign proclaiming 'MEET A MINION!' I think it's maybe an ad for a film?
But it took me a minute to realise that it didn't say MINNION with two ns!

Recently I saw ads about Nordic Weeks in St.-Petersburg. At first glance on it I thought there was something wrong with Nordic Council emblem...


Of course there's something wrong with it! It's missing Iceland!
Hej! Learning :sweden: since 25th October.

...but I still don't speak any Nordic languages.

I can't help seeing this as ironic. Looks like someone jammed together puzzle pieces that fit in shape but don't actually belong together :D Subtle history/culture commentary? We will never know.

I agree, it's quite strange emblem.

... you go to a friend of a friend who had offered to lend some clothes for a special event, and see her two years old daughter's plushes, and one of them is a lynx, and you don't know her enough to explain why it is so cool without seeming strange.

And you know you're spending too much time on the forum and its projects when, having to write a postcard for a birthday, you begin your first draft in english :-[ *Goes to hide herself*

You find a cat home with the SSSS logo on it, and you want to buy it even though you don't own a cat.

:usa: Yes.

It looks like a very good occasion to get a cat.

"So, you got a cat?" — "Yes, the house is more secure now. You never know what kind of beasts can be outside."
