When I die
I don’t want to rest in peace
I want to dance in joy
I want to dance in the graveyards
And while I’m alive
I don’t want to be alone
Mourning the ones who came before
I want to dance with them some more
Let’s dance in the graveyards

I love how potato in French is pomme de terre, which pretty much means “earth apple.”

like what stupid frenchman saw this:

and said “zis petite légume looks like a, how you say, APPLE! hmmm… but it grows in ze earth… HON HON HON! MAIS OUI! C’EST UNE POMME DE TERRE!”

j’adore comment ananas se dit pineapple en anglais, ce qui veut littéralement dire “pomme de pin”, genre quel type anglais a vu ça:

et s’est dit : “ow cette étrange big fruit ressemble à une, how do you say, POMME! hmmm… mais plutôt une pomme qui pousse dans les pins… HU HU HU! OH YES, IT’S A PINEAPPLE!”

(z’avez vu, on peut le faire aussi… hon hon hon!)

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Splendide, là. Excellente réplique!

The French response is amazing and basically amounts to “Oh hello, watch me basically make fun of you using the same format to be just as ridiculous”

This is excellent.

#I don’t talk about it much but it is seriously a pet peeve of mine when anglophones (esp. Americans) make fun of French

This this this. Marvelous riposte.

I’ve gotten really into knitting these past few months, but almost none of it has shown up on my tumblr! Well, this is a progress shot of the first of the pair of socks I’m working on — I’m actually shaping the gussets now, but the lighting isn’t good for a photo. Eventually they will be Socks for Stannis. (The designer is test knitting a Melisandre-inspired set and is apparently thinking of patterns for the Hound and Margaery[!!] as well.)

In other whiny textpost news, I was thisclose to getting to the Elementary finale without being spoiled … then I accidentally “clicked to show” on a post Tumblr Savior hid for me, and the headline was what I’m guessing was THE big reveal/plot twist.

I can’t even get huffily annoyed at anyone for spoiling it for me, because “anyone” was me!

Still waiting for the moment when his psychic paper introduces him as “Doctor Song,” tbh.

“One of the worst ways to stop someone from telling sexist jokes is to tell him the joke isn’t funny. He’ll assume that you’re humorless and that he needs to save the good stuff for the right audience. If you really want someone to stop telling sexist jokes, you need to tell him, “I don’t get it” and then step back as he tries not to say, “It’s funny because women are stupid.””

Oh my god, I’m gonna have to try this it’s brilliant. I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time.

fyeahlilbit2point0:

The internet makes me sad because sometimes I think about the possibility of black kids getting into fandom because of something like the possibility of a Human Torch who looks like them. Or any mainstream superhero that looks like them.

And then experiencing the insidious, toxic attitudes that pervade every corner of fandom (and yes that includes Tumblr) and that just bums me out.

“Pooh and his friends were given as gifts by author A. A. Milne to his son Christopher Robin Milne between 1920 and 1922. Pooh was purchased in London at Harrods for Christopher’s first birthday. Christopher later gave them to publisher E. P. Dutton, who in turn donated them to the New York Public Library.”

This is them, guys. This is them. Got chills.

I’m more star struck from this picture, than I have been at any other moment in my life.

Be sure to click through the links, which shows what the display looks like now that it’s been completed with murals on the wall.

I will always prefer these adorable original depictions of the characters to the Disney version. The Disney design is very cute. But these are perfect.

When I was a kid I found them creepy and much preferred the Disney versions … but I’ve come around.

Fact #569

Fri, 17 May 2013 16:48:23 +0200

classicwhofacts:

If you map out the 11-dimensional coordinates of where ever the TARDIS has landed; it becomes apparent that throughout The Doctor’s travels he has been sewing a large question mark pattern throughout the fabric of space-time.

Debate still remains as to what the exact fabric of space-time is. Current science is still unable to answer the question, labelled the “Second oldest question in the universe, the question you’ve merely been jogging from all your life.” The mainstream branch of the scientific community subscribe to the Tweed theory, while many others still believe in cotton, or even some sort of polyester blend. A hopeful community is set on the idea that the universe exists within an infinite scarf.

Some scientists have newly theorised a worst-case scenario, worse than all our worst nightmares combined. You and everything you have ever known might exist inside Colin Baker’s coat.

May the White Guardian have mercy on us all.

The Master.

i’m really glad someone else thought that because that was literally all i could think of

He really DOES dress for the occasion.

For the record, I looked at the pic before reading the captions further down and just assumed it was a picture of the Master.
