I totally get your lolcat macro! Fridge!kitty looks v. cute :)

I'm glad! When my husband didn't get it I suddenly thought that it might be some poem only known to English majors.

Hm, never thought about it being an "English major only" thing, but then again, I was one so...

Still, I agree with another commenter below -- the poem does sound better in catspeak.

I wonder if the humor is too obscure.

I got it. XD XD XD XD

(But it's partly because in London now there's this "poetry on the underground" thing where some of the pannels for ads have poems written on them instead, and that one was up on the Victoria line for most of my second year at university. So it's kinda firmly planted in my mind. *g* )

I'm still feeling a bit wibbly over the Cutty Sark. My first memory of London is going out to Greenwich to see her, actually, and... well... yes.

I missed out the 'u' in 'humour'. I have been here too long!

Ah, I used to read them. I think they've been going a while.

Yeah, it's exactly the same with me. I remember it well...

Oh, really? *g* oh, that's right - I didn't see them until second-year because I didn't need to take the tube much until second-year, that would explain why I only started seeing them then. *laughs* My memory sucks. :)

It's just damn lucky so much had already been removed for restoration, really... but still!

ahaha kitty XD
I get it, if only because my roommate in uni was in love with that poem. She kept showing it to me over and over, and I kept telling her I didn't think it amounted to anything. Somehow it sounds much better in catspeak.

It's not a poem I like that much, but it did seem like a good candidate for lolcat. I got the idea when my kitty wanted to go inside the fridge... but when I had a camera in my hand, he just didn't want to.

I think he knew.

It's a miracle the mast and some of the decking were away at the time. I was really touched yesterday by one of the restoration folks, who said that for a ship with as long and distinguished history as hers, this is just the latest obstacle for her to overcome!

I'm sure she'll be back before we know it.

(And I got the lolcat macro too. ^^)

I hope they'll be able to repair her. If nothing else, if it had to happen, this is probably the best possible timing.

(Guess my husband's at fault then! Always good to know! XD)

I rather like that marco and the original poem too.

I didn’t know about the fire but they do say that it’ll be rebuilt which is something.

I'm sure it will be rebuilt and restored -- it's one of those rare tourist attractions that attracted people from both outside and within the country.

Maybe it's not so obscure then! Glad to know! :)

heeee ♥ (cat)

Thanks. :)

I wanted to watch Zombie Loan because of Sakurai-san, but looking at the cast, it's looking good. I have yet to read the manga yet. Thanks for info~!

No worries! Looks like an amazing cast!

That is an odd ban to put in place...

When I first started to read it I initially thought "hey, that's ridiculously unfair" but as I progressed, it does look like the reason that the ban has been put in place was because of unfair play in the first place.

As good as Kenyans are reputed to be at running, it's doubly unfair to use their abilities to win a relay race when otherwise they might not get on a team - since the teams aren't made up totally of Kenyans and that's how teams often work, sadly. Hm.

How odd. There's far more to consider in this that I first thought ^^;

Yes, but it's not unfair to field the best runnera, no matter their nationality. There's not a huge scam running where runners from Kenya enrol in high schools across Japan just so they can win a high school marathon. :)

This is high school vs high school, so the teams should be made up exclusively of each school's pupils. And, it is. But no foreign students.
