When you become worried that your last good post on any thread was more than a month ago!

You're playing a Facebook app called Nations and you receive the situation: "A mass murderer is loose in [insert nation name] and the local police force is having trouble catching the culprit. Do you..."

And one of the options is: "Assemble a lynching mob and temporarily deputize them with the orders to find the murderer at all costs?"

Of course the first thought that comes to mind is, "Wow, that is just like WW!"

...or rather WW. When trying to cross the border from Russia to Finland without somekind of document I should have had (someone (I wonder who) lost it). The worker there tried to convince that I'm a guilty criminal by turning everything against me. Such as that everyone else from the group did have the document - I can't think of why that would point anyhow to me being evil. :S I did get over the border, but probably wouldn't have had I been three months older: I would have got a fine, and since I had ten rubels at most, I would have been arested or something as nice, lynched maybe. I did get to have a laugh though, talking high philosophical nonsense to the worker there and getting away with it.

As some of you know I tried to rep Formendacil on facebook. . .

When you're delighted, really baffled, slightly disturbed and rather convinced that you just saw Sally on TV. I swear, she looked exactly like her.

When you decide to attempt to use the internet via your cell phone in order to access the Downs and check up on the WW thread while waiting for a movie to start in the theatre. That's what I did Thursday evening. I don't know how people manage to use their phones for internet on a regular basis...it's quite hard to read from the tiny screen. But I did manage to get through half a page...

A friend of mine is into Historical Fencing, and all of their drills have names/abbreviations that are of Italian origin. Her brother's sword was in their home today (she keeps her own at the training place), so she took it and asked me if I wanted to see [her perform] Form. Yes, sure, that'd be nice. Do you buy him plane tickets?
