Okay. BTW, have you ever seen a ghost cry? I don't know how I got this idea, but somehow I think that would be pretty cool.

Oh, and you'd better go wreck hunting.

I just can't seem to muster the will to look for wrecks. The last few weeks I have nothing to say on the forums. It could be that I've been sitting in too many meetings at work and am avoiding the interaction. Or maybe 6 months on the site have proven that the forums are just the same old junk over and over.

The dead-thread is certainly in a lull. Only ghosts these days. And lots of dust.

I think I'll tidy up a bit, and maybe chase away some of the ghosts while I'm here ...

Great, thank you! I am looking forward to a clean and ghost-free thread tomorrow. Good night! 😴😴😴

HA! Not only am I not a ghost, but I also cannot be chased away from this thread. I like it here. 🙄

Well, I've straightened up, and vacuumed up all the dust bunnies. Do "dust bunnies" translate in any of your other languages?

Sadly, it can't seem to get rid of these pesky ghosts. I don't have a vacuum that works for them, and don't seem to know the proper incantations.

Thanks a lot, it looks really nice here! I guess we'll just have to live with the ghosts.

"Dust bunny" is "hybelkanin" (bedsit rabbit) in Norwegian, "Wollmaus" (wool mouse) in German, and "villakoira" (wool dog) in Finnish. It sounds like the Finnish ones must be really big. "Vacuum cleaner" or "hoover" is "støvsuger" in Norwegian and "Staubsauger" in German, both of which literally mean "dust sucker".

That was today's lesson, brought to you by Nordlys.

So English and Norwegian at least use the same animal. Do they have rabbits everywear? The German seems to make more sense, since it far more likely you'd have a mouse under your furniture than a rabbit.

Do the Germans have rabbits? Yeah and they are pretty large IIRC.

Everyone wears rabbits.

Why are rabbits under your furniture unlikely? As a kid I had rabbits as pets, and they explored every corner of the room. They found my school books very tasty.

BTW, you still need two wrecks. My last two wrecks are ghost wrecks, so they don't count (I have no idea where they came from, but I suspect that I got them in one of the threads in the Spirituality Forum which got deleted over night, in which case they now are wrecks without posts).

I gave you one of those , possibly the second (though I'm not sure as I had the beer hit me pretty hard).

Could you elaborate on "wearing rabbits" ? Do you mean you wear garments made of their fur ?

Ah. What was it for? Kumbayah?

I am not sure what I mean by "wearing rabbits". It was just a word play on RookRAK's "everywear". But some people "wear" living rats, so maybe one could also wear living rabbits.

I don't think they'd be living anymore after I got one on .

It may have been for Kumbia ; I got quite a chuckle out of yours . I can't remember the other for sure , I just remember you made a very logical point in a debate/disscussion about something involving German history . I rec for things like that .
