Terminator 7 [Link]

Sunday, January 10, 2016

Long before Terminator Genisys was even announced, we fantasized about possible sequels. We borrowed Pinzsize from Jeph Jacques's awesome webcomic, Questionable Content. We hope he isn't mad.

In 2012, we visited Rotterdam and were given a yoghurt drink called "vifit" as a free sample. I joked about the "vibalansboard," referencing the fitness game Wii Fit by Nintendo and the Wii Balance Board.

Vikings [Link]

Sunday, January 10, 2016

This doesn't have a lot to do with the TV series "Vikings." Most of the words are pseudo-Scandinavian versions of German expressions: "Quatsch" (spelled "kvÃ¥tsh" here) means nonsense, "Vollhonk" (fÃ¸lhÃ¸nk) is a common term for complete idiot, and "BlÃ¶dmann" (blÃ¸dmÃ¥n) means fool.
