An old bit of rope walks into a bar, bartender yells "We don't serve rope here!", rope goes outside, puts himself in a loop, messes up his hair and goes back into the bar, bartender yells "ain't you that rope that just walked in?" 

"Nope, I'm a frayed knot"

@sireebob@cybre.space I've always been fond of "OI! FUCKERS!" as a replacement for "Ladies and Gentlemen"

@squirrel still, if I can't help out a squirrelbun that needs a hand then what's the point in having more than the absolutely required number of kidneys

@squirrel I've just remembered there used to be a Concorde route from Paris to your neck of the woods, that would have been hella convenient

Also expensive

Very expensive

@squirrel I mean, I'd come get you but I'd have to take out a loan and I'd only get there by Tuesday morning which probably wouldn't help much

Could do a "there's an emergency, come quick" phone call for you though

@BatElite First used by the US National Autistic Society but it was popularised by Autism Speaks after NAS stopped using it

Autism Speaks take it as "autistic people are difficult to comprehend (like a puzzle) and that the cure for autism is the missing piece"

April is Autism Awareness Month

This April, remember that autism is a thing, and that Autism Speaks can ram their puzzle piece bullshit right up their collective shitter

@squirrel @alice@elekk.xyz although I suppose that would include being favourite easter bunny... main point, maple is best bun all year

@alice@elekk.xyz @squirrel isn't everyone's favourite easter bunny, @squirrel is everyone's favourite all year round bunny!

Happy atheist-kids-get-chocolate day everyone!

Or "Easter" if you're the religious type

april fools day reveal 

I'M AN OCTOPUS!

Y'ALL THOUGHT I WAS HUMAN! NOBODY SUSPECTED A THING!

@troubleMoney Americans have the same misconceptions about Canadians. They think we are polite and fail to parse the nuances of "sorry"

CAN: Sorry
US: Sorry

CAN: Sorry
US: Excuse me, you bumped into me/spilled my coffee/cut in line

CAN: Sorry
US: I'm about to take the last cookie and I'm not sorry at all

CAN: Sorry
US: MOVE, BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY, GET OUT THE WAY BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY

Considering my previous toot about English-American translations went absolutely woolly, here's some more:

British: "I hear what you say"
American: "You're wrong, shut up"

British: "With the greatest respect..."
American: "You're a fucking idiot"

British: "That's a very brave proposal"
American: "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING YOU LUNATIC"

British: "I would suggest..."
American: "You will do this or be sanctioned"

It's the end of the month, which means patreon plugging time!

Since I don't have one and @squirrel is far too modest I'm plugging hers

Maple is lovely and does various awesome things including running computerfairi.es! Which is also a year old on the 12th!
