With a preface that Clipper and I can have incredibly strange conversations:
Watching the tennis and talking about Roger Federer's Swiss efficiency in having two sets of twins. It leads to dodgy Swiss accents and saying things like " I have sex twice and have 4 children'.
One of those you had to be there moments, but I have been laughing til almost crying.

Conversation with Mom:
Mom: They’re doing “Le Mer.” Me: Ooh, that’s Debussy, isn’t it? Mom: No, it’s in Rockville

Mr Snow was making similar remarks about the efficiency of twins (esp from a male POV) the other day.

Sitting here laughing as I read this. Straightaway I am reminded of the comment(s) made about the Swiss .... efficiency ... in Cool Runnings. this explains it far better than I could -

Not sure if this will work... link to a video from a children's tv program, re-working pop songs to include self flagellation. maybe i'd been working too hard when i saw it, but i was in tears. Whipping music!

A moment of perfect timing. Driving through the green rolling hills on the way to jamberoo and spying some cows ahead. We all break into song with the chorus of "cows with guns" and finish with the final words just as we pass the cows. Clipper had wound down the window, we bellowed the last "cows with guns" out and one cow turned to check us out.

i have been in this country 13 years this month. i have learned to say 'privacy' and 'controversy' and 'water' all manner of other words i've apparenlty been saying wrong all my life. (pfft.)
today i learned that there's another way to say Himalayas. It took 7 minutes of listening to a radio program about Nepal to realise what word was being said!

I have made myself laugh. I am currently on day three of a seven day 'foot peel' treatment. If you have ever had a face peel (or seen one), well this is basically the same thing over a week. And done at home.
Numbnuts here didn't think that a foot peel would mean skin would flake off my feet. I'm a smart one.
I am currently moulting skin like you wouldn't believe. It's a heatwave (so I have to make sure feets don't burn) and I am visiting a friend over the weekend. I better warn her.

Oh and it is half-year performance review time across government.
My team has decided to play a game. We each have a particular word to include in our performance review to send to our manager.
My word is cat. Another colleague has zombie. Another has washing.
We score 10/10 on maturity.

I laughed pretty much non stop on the dodgems tonight, particularly the way LC kept on trying to attack my dodgem. And then I almost cried with laughter on the ghost train. This was seriously the crappest ride I've ever been on. Nothing popping out at you during the ride, no scary noises. It was like someone bought one that was about to be scrapped and decided it was worth running without doing it up. What saved it and made us all laugh was the incredibly bored teenaged operator who put on a mask, hid in one section and shone a torch on his face muttering "rah". We kept on making LC crack up the rest of the night by saying bored rahs

apparently my mom's cat jumped against the tv today during an animal programm (trying to catch some wolves!) and then went around the tv searching for those wolves ... that's what my mom wrote, anyway.

with a group of friends at a dinner, and some were not English. one was describing a future work event and another non-English person suddenly looked very interested--until she realised that the big boss was inviting alumni, and not a llama.
this was funny enough, but then we got imagining the emails she might have sent out to colleagues about this llama, and her disappointment on the day when no llama appeared.

The bottom right cat looks very familiar, and she loves to watch me shower.

My brother just called me weird!
You know wooden pallets? The kind used to ship bulk items to shops etc?
I found a half size one.
Apparently it is "fricken weird" to now get on the bus with it.

Listening to 9 year olds trying to organise themselves in an online game. I have no idea how their team has managed to get to the last 15 players.

This is hard to explain. My son and I were playing a game of writing on each other's backs and guessing the words. But randomly, he seemed to keep saying "a bear" in the middle, which had nothing to do with anything. I asked him why and he didn't know what I was talking about. Finally I figured out that he was saying "a ver," which is like saying "let's see" in Spanish. But we were speaking English, and I couldn't figure out why he kept throwing a bear into the conversation.

We all got in a line of about 10 or so people and held on to the waist of the person in front, to walk around a path way in a marquee. Every now and again we would come across a scary person to apparently frighten the shit out of everyone.
