Send some to New York!

It's cold and wet and you can have it all. Except don't take this part over here, that's for Mélusine.

Heyyyyyyy ! *Protests*

I've done that and said "These aren't the files you're looking for." one day to a colleague. At her look I understood she hadn't the reference. Memorable lack of understanding moment.

I have a shirt that says "I AM YOUR FATHER" and my dad just stares at me oddly every time I wear it in his presence... I'm planning to do something about his sad lack of general knowledge come the holidays.

Hey, I don't suppose anyone here knows anything about wild camping in Norway? Me and a friend are thinking of going next summer, and I've found lots of unofficial sources saying that it's ok but I can't seem to find anything official about it or what the rules are? Totally ok if no-one knows anything of course!

You can camp anywhere but on cultivated or otherwise utilised ground (what we somewhat vaguely call "innmark"), at least 150 meters away from houses and cottages, for up to two days without permission. In the wilderness you can camp as long as you want, with some exceptions in heavily visited areas close to the cities. Just don't litter, if you do I will find you~

I have also successfully made the chat try to wiggle their ears, which has apparently escalated to trying to lick one's own elbow now and I wasn't ever even in the chat. I just sent them a hello via Viola. Who gave me this power, take it away I'm probably using it wrong and I can't handle the responsibility.

I hope you will continue to use your tremendous influence for, uh, good.

Leaving off on that weird note, I can totally touch my elbow with my tongue, and lick my nose with it too.

I read this and promptly had to try, even though I was in a public place when I did.

It's ok, I'm practically sitting in front of a huge display window and I tried it too.

I wonder if you can bottle this kind of power and sell it.... *scheming face*

Here's a pdf by the environmental directorate in english that tells you what you can and cannot do.

I just sat down to draw something I've been procrastinating for weeks, and when the pencil touches the paper, I end up drawing something completely different.

WHY

Thanks so much! That's exactly what I needed!

The only reason I haven't tried today is because I have in the past. Repeatedly. Sadly, ear-wiggling and elbow-licking are not talents I possess.

I can, however, do a clover tongue. (Just warning you, lots of tongues in the link. Many, many tongues...)

^^ Yes, you have to do something.

[Haiz]

I can't wiggle my ears, but i can wriggle my nostrils............

I can do that too! I can also clap with one hand (but only my right), and snap my fingers by flinging my index finger against my thumb and middle finger (apparently that's rare; I haven't known anyone else who's been able to do it). ┐(°_°)┌


In other news, I heard my first Christmas song of the season on the radio... TOO SOON.

[SectoBoss]

snap my fingers by flinging my index finger against my thumb and forefinger

OK, now I'm confused - aren't the index finger and forefinger the same one? How on earth do you manage that?
