When I felt I was about to overdose after a couple of days of intense planin for my upcoming trip, a few minutes ago, I thought “why not make a random research on the Internets?” Why a random research? Why not? I’d rather learn something I never would have known otherwise than get up, turn…… Continue reading Peanut butter in Denmark…
Not as opposed to even… No, the strange and bizarre “odd”. I am not a prompt to judge person. Or at least, I try my best at not letting myself be fooled by first impressions. But today, even after reading a bit about it, and trying to watch a few videos to get used to…… Continue reading Odd…
I work in the technical support field. Having worked as an ambulance dispatcher in the past, I now put things in perspective, and regularly tell myself that no matter what goes wrong with what I do, nobody will die at the end of my call (or else things will have gone AWFULLY wrong). But less…… Continue reading French colors…
This will be short, but I just had to post it in case someone fell on this message and could help me figure out what just happened. It seems that one of my posts has been re-blogged on this website called Dragplus. The concept of Dragplus is rather blurry to me, but I am…… Continue reading I’ve been Dragplused… ?!?
Discovering other cultures forces you to look at your own people, and compare… And when I compare Québec to the rest of the world, it seems we are very confused and/or confusing people… First, we are the (almost) only people speaking French in all North America. Of course there are other French speakers around, but…… Continue reading Imperial or Metric?
I am working on another post, and I need a map to make my point. Well one of them. Open Google Map, start trying to make things look as funny as I find them… and I get this message from Google; “Cette carte a été créée spécialement pour vous” Meaning “This map has been created…… Continue reading I feel special…
« My brother gave me syphilis! » I love saying that phrase out loud. In crowds. The more people around me, and the nosier their ears are (nosy ears, that’s funny), the better. I love the looks and frowns it provokes. I love the barely hidden disgust on people’s faces at the thought of such open incest…… Continue reading My brother gave me syphilis…
Everybody knows Häagen Dazs ice cream… What everybody doesn’t know, it that although the company is American, the brand’s name was invented as a tribute to Denmark. The founder wanted a Danish-sounding name but it is completely made up, and doesn’t mean anything (in any language). In real life, Häagen Dazs couldn’t be a…… Continue reading Fun fact
I told you! Many times! The Internets are alluring and sexy and promising… But they will always end up lying to you! Here is yet another proof… For some reason, I had thoughts of countries fitting how many times in others… and I was thinking about that and had the reflex I always have: Google!…… Continue reading I told you not to trust the Internets!
The Dutch cloggers… I bet you hadn’t seen that one coming uh? So, I learned tonight that Pippa has new neighbours upstairs, which are particularly noisy. Especially at night. They will be referred to as the Dutch cloggers (or DC) from now on, for obvious reasons. I would have to thank the DC, since…… Continue reading Dutch cloggers…
