Princess of Karn iii

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...

Clowning ii (reprise)

[Dr A's office] Me: Can you direct me to Dr B's office?
Receptionist (squint/sneer): "It's in a hauuuuuuse..."
Me: Well, my lovely rocket scientist, I think you should be in a house too...
#temptation

Old hat ii

Beware local clowning (group effort)
It can set you back at least twenty years...
"Try to think clearly" ;)

Old hat (reprise)

Him: "In the Koran, women are gold"
Me: Er, have you even *read* the Koran...!?
Him: [no reply]

And where they still bait/goad/shame/humiliate homosexuals

Saint Mary

My sister [ER nurse] said she saw you in the emergency room
...
I know 2 or 3 girls that had a major crush on you
...
Tried to send you a happy valentines but it came back
...
If I recall she said it was the cafeteria
[If I recall correctly she said she saw you in the cafeteria]

Meanwhile: Christmas Island

"Dress is usually modest, and tourists should keep a wrap... on hand to cover shorts, bathing suits, and tank tops."

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?

Meanwhile: the princess and the cheerleader

The Princess of Karn, the Princess Pompom of Lawrence
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

And (of course) they resort to physical violence

Some things never change ;)

"A truly Canadian business" vi

Attendant: "Why do you do that?"
Answer: Because that's what you do - er, remember?
#trytothinkclearly

"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" ;)

Where professionals (laughingly) discourage very basic/accessible practices

Er, "create a dependence" #isthatirony

"A truly Canadian business" iii

"Try to think clearly" ;)
