LangGuessr WWF Fundraiser!

I may have been a little slow on the draw here, but LangGuessr is fundraising for the WWF as part of Jingle Jam! Donate at the link below.

Indigenous American languages are a particular interest of mine, so for the last two Jingle Jams I've been fundraising for environmental charities who often work with indigenous communities, especially in the Amazon, to help protect it.

Thank you in advance!

It’s not a Discworld joke unless you read it, don’t parse it as a joke, and then carry on with your life for ten years until someone stops you to say something like “It’s a pavlovian response because the dog ate a pavlova” and you scream Terry’s name with enough indignant rage you hope it rattles the pillars of the multiverse so wherever his soul is he’ll hear it.

#i don’t think this is what pterry meant by ‘a man’s not dead while his name is still spoken’

I absolutely think it is

I read Jingo for the first time when I was 13.

I’m 33 now, and I still discover a new joke every time I reread it.

Terry was a comedic genius

#shoutout to the one in Soul Music about the leopard that got thrown out of the circus because it couldn't hear the ringmaster#it was several months after my second or third time reading the book that I clocked it was a Deaf Leopard (via @morkaischosen)

When I was informed that “Vetinari” is a pun on “Medici”. That pun was so painful I couldn’t even see it.

Twurp’s Peerage made me throw a book (gently) at a wall.

In the UK, the book of the peerage is called Burke’s Peerage. Burke sounds like berk, which means a silly/annoying person. So Terry took ‘twerp’, another word for a silly or annoying person, and replaced the e with u. 

The Book of Silly and Annoying People, based on the real thing with a pun on the name thrown in for good measure.

After much research into both rats and hamsters, I've cracked the code:

Rats: Rodent dogs

Hamsters: Rodent cats

The evidence:

RATS AS DOGS

HAMSTERS AS CATS

stop what you’re doing and watch this

For those who don't know, this is Joe Lycett. He's a British comedian who's also bisexual/pansexual (he uses both labels interchangeably afaik), and this isn't an isolated thing.

He has a show called Joe Lycett's Got Your Back which explains consumer rights, exposes dodgy businesses and actually fights on behalf of people who have been scammed by those businesses, often successfully.

He also legally changed his name to Hugo Boss in protest of the fashion house Hugo Boss hitting a local brewery with cease and desist because they trademarked the word boss. The protest was successful and Hugo Boss receded the c&d.

He's a cool guy and I recommend looking him up. I also recommend looking up the notable cases from JLGYB on the Wikipedia link below

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

That local brewery is Boss Brewery in Swansea, and if you go to their bar they now sell a pizza named the Lycett in his honour
