    Finnish election night. My candidate made the second round! Google translate of the election results is hilarious, glad none of the Sponge Bob's made it.

    I just found this commercial Nicolas Cage did for a series of Pachinko games in Japan (1 of 5 to be exact). I haven't laughed that hard in a while. The Wicker Man has some stiff competition in terms of "Craziest Nicolas Cage Moment".

    Is there a linguistic reason they show up like that? Do their names have the word for "sponge" in them or something?

    The explanation is that the finnish translation of Spongebob Squarepants is more like "Robert the Sponge" i.e. "Paavo Pesusieni" and three canditates have the first name Paavo.

    Paavo is not even rare or weird. It is a testament to the popularity of Spongebob that it gets translated to Spongebob.

    I found a really interesting blog of my city and it's history, with first pictures of the past and a few stories, and then how things are today.

    Surprisingly interesting, and full of surprisingly wonderful photography and stories - For example, a sentence that speaks volumes about my city: "It is a couple of doors away from the Pancake Manor, formerly St Luke's Anglican Church."

    No joke, it is too. Here's a picture of the Pancake Manor/Australian historical site -

  • These pancakes are simply divine. Mostly because we used holy water to make them.
  • Why do you need licensing? For the pancakes?

    "Fully Licensed" is something you see on cafes in the UK (and, I'm assuming from the pic, Australia) that means that the cafe is licensed to serve all types of alcohol all day.

    It's funnier to think that it's for pancake licenses, but that makes a lot of sense.

    I don't know if it's a serious question or not, since I don't know how it is where you are, but Most restaurants here either have a Full license, a BYO license, or no license - Obviously, bars have full licenses, and that doesn't usually need to be noted.

    See, on a sign like that, "Fully Licensed" basically means "Yes! We can and will sell and serve you booze, and you can drink on premises." Many, I'd even say most restaurants have that license. I can't recall if they(Pancake Manor) are allowed to serve booze 24 hours a day according to their license - some places can, surprisingly, but most places can't.

    If they're BYO or BYOB licensed, basically, you can bring your own grog(Within reason, you can't just rock up with a slab or a few bottles of hard liquor), and basically, you can either serve it to yourselves, or have them serve it to you for a small fee(Corkage).

    I'm not explaining no license to you, I'm sure you've figured that out.

    So, the practical upshot of this is that there is a 24 hour place where you can go, drink beer, and eat a fuckload of pancakes. Guess where I'll be on Shrove Tuesday.

    You can legitimately say "At church".

    To be fair, not the first time I've gotten smashed in a church.

    In college, someone opened up a bar/grill thing called "The Library". It had beer boots and yard-long beers. Also the waitress' uniform was a schoolgirl outfit. Many thought the dress was too long.

    The running gag had to do with studying, I believe you can infer the rest.

    I don't know if someone else had the same idea, or if that's just really famous, but I've heard of The Library. At least, other than the one in my city, which shut down, and the one in New Zealand.

    Wait, is this somehow Captain America/Iron Man slashfic as hilariously told through instant messaging? Also with Thor being derpy?
    I DO HOPE THAT YOU ARE SAYING THIS IN JEST, BECAUSE YOU SHOULD PROBABLY KNOW THAT BUNNIES WILL ALWAYS WIN IN MY OPINION. ALWAYS.

    FELICITATIONS, AND I HOPE THAT I HAVE WON THE BATTLE FOR YOU!

    Anonymous asked: Thor, why do you like rabbits so much? Tony, do you like rabbits? :D

    I honestly cannot explain why Thor loves rabbits as much as he does. He just…… does.

    I um…. don’t spread this around, but I kind of fucking love rabbits. They’re little bundles of adorable in a fluffy coat.

    But shhh. Keep this shit under your hat.
