Maybe I should just invest into a boat and travel around all the coastlines, grab everyone up and travel to the US by sea. That would be fun and spare me always stuffing everything into my backpack :D

I have a boat, but it would be beyond even Sigrun-level of optimistic insanity to take it on a round-the-world trip.

3) We need some fanart of Potato's unicorn vampire friend.

Like a crossover between Twilight and the game CLOP.

Starring Eich as lead investigator (who would rather not deal with charred, unidentifiable bodies), OrigamiOwl as dynamic sidekick greenhorn and ThisCat as resident criminal pathologist.

Aw, what can I be? Can I be the flighty witness?

I say: Let's just try :D.

Ok, I once saw a canal boat set out on a large river/canal for big transporting ships in manchester. It was like putting a small toy-car on a motorway. So if it's a tiny little vessel maybe we shouldn't start a trip by that.

What kind of boat is it?

I'll board your boat, Kex! As long as it isn't a tiny life-risking boat, of course. Probably even if it is. As long as we get to go to ComicCon and meet each other!

I've seen the discussion about the term "boyfriend" before; some people just use "partner" or "manfriend". In Chinese and Malay, the term translates to "male friend", so it's quite age-neutral. How do you say it in German?

In norwegian we just say kjæreste, which translates directly to "most beloved". Entirely gender- and age neutral. It's pretty sweet.

Some day I will go to comic con. Some day.

I think "dearest" is a more direct translation, which is funny considering the word's old-people association in English.

Small cabin cruiser. Well, I said it's my boat but it's sort of my dad's. Actually mostly my dad's. That being the case gave him the privilege of naming it, hence it is christened "my wife's capitulation". He's kind of a troll sometimes.

Wait what? How comes I never catch these threads?
*Checks on foolz archive*

Huh, they posted your stuff on Britain.

If it helps any, he looks British-y* with dirty blond hair and a red beard, and he does not have a horn on his head.

*I may not actually be a good judge of what British people look like

Your vegan unicorn partner is now confirmed to look like me. Uh, enjoy I guess? ;D

I love meeting online friends, so I'd be totally up for a meetup. It's a lot of fun hosting them.

Eh, I didn't mean that the pixels have a significant shape or somesuch. Only that they are an exceptionally well-rendered 8 pixels (if I won't even count the semi-transparent ones, which are also excellent!) and I feel happy for them.

Hmmmm ... a small boat crowded with people off the normal travel routes and trying to enter the land of their dreams without proper paperwork ... how very in character. :P

I was expecting a link to the page where the Icelandic coast guard processes some migrants without proper paperwork. Then again that might only be a likely outcome in North Korea nowadays.
