I just never thought I'd see Lenny Kravitz singing a Katy Perry song.  :(

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Any of guys played Trivia Crack on mobile?

I was having a fun first week but now no one wants to accept my challenge anymore. I understand their pain, they get to play once or twice before I win.

No, I hadn't heard of it. I might have to make my family play.

Yeah, Kravitz singing the song changed the context a bit. If he sang "California Gurls" or "Roar" he would probably have to turn in his man card.

He hopes his boyfriend don't mind it?  :huh:

A sentiment my Spanish friends often share:


:lol:

Reminds me of a sign I once saw that incorporated the two spellings of "Scarborough" and "Scarboro", a (much hated) suburb of Toronto.

Evidently, the sign-maker thought it was a good idea to include both at once - the sign read "Welcome to Scarboro(ugh)".  :lol:

That actually sounds appropriate for Scarborough and, from what you've said, Scarboro :lol:

Also I saw a poster in a cafe today for a pop-up barbers in Peckham. With resident DJs. £20 for a haircut. £10 for a beard trim.

I spent the entire time I was there silently seething.

Edit: God I spent all day angry about the Greens and hipsters. I should probably just buy a National Trust membership and vote UKIP :weep:

Early in law school, I met a young lady from Queen's Universiy who came from the GTA; inquiring further, I was able to say, "Oh, Scarberia, huh?"  Which could have been received poorly but we became fast friends as a result.
