Princess: 'I don't bother understanding English'
Which explains a lot, phew! (finally!) #breezy
'Her Majesty' also made an appearance...
Looking more like a pimp than anything else
Just a touch better than Queen Bonershrinker...

The Princess of Karn ii
Been more than a week since I last saw the princess
I know it's wrong to remember what the princess said in the past
And I know it's wrong to forget what the princess said in the past
So how do I please the princess?
Do I gassho?
Do I kowtow?
Do I waggle my lyripipe as I leave the room?

From whiny to weird
From whiny to weird
Goof something...
1. irl faux social - fail
2. intervene on web - fail
3. leverage irl social - fail
4. backpedal into custom/limited web - fail
What they couldn't do (scores of them) is be articulate or attractive in any way #shrug

"A truly Canadian business" v
Me: You say something to me (weeks/days earlier) and when I say the same thing to you, you get upset
Attendant [upset again]: "You no like other customers...!" "You no come here no more...!"
"Try to think clearly" ;)
NB I really, *really* hope that was just another charade #guffaw On the other hand, religious icons everywhere... #sigh

"A truly Canadian business" iv
"They stopped making them", adjusted for honesty, is now "I don't have them"...
"Try to think clearly" ;)
"Try to think clearly" ;)
Where professionals (laughingly) discourage very basic/accessible practices
Er, "create a dependence" #isthatirony
