I just realised that all this time, I've been unconsciously imagining Arthur Weasley as Nogrod.

*dies* Oh, the hilariousity. And I really have to admit there's a similarity!

Hopefully not plug collecting...

When you see an Irish pub called Finns - and think of Lommie and co.

Eönwë · 06-04-2008, 11:31 AM

When you see PM (for Prime Minister) and immediately think of Private Messaging.

Heh. Nice one.

I was listening to the TV and they were interviewing some random Finnish guy. I immediately looked up to see if it was Noggie.

Hehe. Sadly no. Our lovely modgod and resident Tom Bombadil is MUCH more interesting than was this fellow. (It was the Travel Channel and the guy was like eighty)

HAHA! Now you have me doing the same thing! Blast....

The Day's over, and I'm still expecting posts for some reason. And nobody's even on IM, so I've got nothing to do....dagnabbit.

Well, I won't say this is about my addiction to the Downs, really...it's more about how much the 'Downs has meant for me (yes yes, take the sappyness out of Mirth, I know!)... On my high school class ring (I almost didn't bother to get one), I had inscribed on one side just below the stone my year of graduation very traditionally, and on the other, 'Durelin'.

Makes me more fond of it than I'd ever thought I'd be, in addition to the old name of my school being on there, too (they're changing locations after a looooonnng time, and so changed the name because the name was connected to the place...) Yeah, I think I'd answer to 'Durelin' if anyone ever started calling me that "in RL".

Awwww, that's cool, Dure.

Hehe is it sad that I answer to Sally on a regular basis? *shifty eyes*

Not any sadder than the fact that I still think of Mac as Mac...
then again, I can't pronounce his real name correctly anyway (now THAT is sad).

A Little Green · 06-09-2008, 11:02 AM

Speaking of Mac... I think it's a sign of addiction when you are watching a Germany - Poland football match and your thoughts go like "Ooh that one looks just like Mac... Hey he's German as well!" Here is a pic of him. (Actually he only looks like Mac from a distance and only when he looks grim or scowls at the camera, but still...)

Hehe... but Metzelder always looks grim or scowls at the camera.

It seems like I'm owning a huge franchise and don't know it!

There's a restaurant chain "Mac Steaks" in NY and a chinese restaurant "Mac Wong" around the corner here.

I need to sue all these people. *evil grin*

Is it a sign of non-addiction if I don't get what you're talking about?
