Fandom Cave

The fandoms suck me in, leaving me to flail.

Bonk

I've decided to work on learning Russian, using Duolingo, as you do, when i learned how the word for wolf looks like in Cyrillic.

My Discworld (and English reading) infected brain, screeched to a halt.

....

Wait. Wait a damned minute. I know that word.

...did Terry Prachett make a hidden joke about Bonk meaning WOLF (if it was in Cyrillic to English readers)... in a freaking book about WEREWOLVES?!!! THAT HAS A TON OF RUSSIAN REFERENCES?!?!?!?!

Sir! Sir! Sir Terry Pratchett... you bastard (respectfully) and not the camel! How in the blazes are you doing this? I've been reading Discworld for nearly three decades at this point. How do you still manage to flatten me with surprise at hidden jokes like this! How?!

Argh.... and this is one of the many, many reasons, Discworld is worth reading, rereading, and then reading yet again.

There’s a rattle, there’s a roll

This is how I know I’m way too Californian. When a bit of rattle and roll earthquake hit a few minutes ago, I excitedly (and rather happily I confess) screamed ‘Earthquake!‘ and as soon as the shake ends, I go to find the rest of the household to talk about and then try to guess the magnitude before officially looking it up.

My guess: 4.0 M

Officially: 4.5 M

Darn, off by 0.5 M.

Alright, I also would have freaked it had been stronger or lasted longer than 3 seconds but I’m currently amused at my past-me’s enjoyment of the moment.
