I like it when an instance gets mentioned as something to block and I find out we already blocked it a while ago

@InspectorCaracal I thought it was probably only in british

wondering if this is a thing in USAian as well, the phrase "full and frank discussion" as a euphemistic synonym for "massive argument"

Why yes BBC, this is exactly what I expected you to do with all that TV license money, 9 hours of a cat riding a roomba in front of a christmas tree

@colon_three

@colon_three the answer is yes regardless of if there are other people in the house

@archadia@tootplanet.space @g1comics yeah, all subsequent times would have been when him and his mates got together and thought "that horse thing was fun, let's do that!" and the tradition grew

@g1comics @archadia@tootplanet.space my theory is a drunk welshman once had a horses skull on a stick for some reason and it went from there

@sydneyfalk I imagine the reality worm to resemble one of those worms on a string

but, of course, unbound from the restrictions of the string

It's similar to wassailing where people go around door-to-door offering cups of mulled cider in return for gifts

And I guess trick-or-treating

But so much more metal

This is Mari Lwyd (image cw'ed for skull)

In Welsh tradition, at christmas, Mari Lwyd will come around all the houses in the town with a bunch of mates and sing loudly that they want to enter your house

You are then obliged to sing back with reasons they can't come in and the argument continues until you run out of ideas and it then comes in with its mates and you have to give them ale and food

@colon_three cats are good

whatever the fuck a jellicle is can fuck off

but cats good

@Jo other alternate universe where the muggle PM just sends in the blokes from Hereford and the whole thing's over in 20 minutes

"Wizard Hitler you say?"

*picks up phone*

"Hey, 22 SAS please, can you slot this "voldymort" bastard? Cheers"

@rixx that is incredible

favourite is probably him denying the existence of germany

@colon_three they're such good bird friends

@PixiePrincess sadly it isn't, but it is out there making things safer for people so I'm sure Greta won't be too put out
