Omigod! I'm literally watching the Why Files right now! HECKLE FISH MORIARTY FOR PRESIDENT!

That bit with Heckle Fish singing was soooo funny! I really like the Why Files, I've watched them over and over and they don't fail to be entertaining! I'm watching the episode on the bottomless pit right now!

Dog V4 is often addressed as 'Mr Fuzzy.'

I often call my cat "Mr Mister" I'm starting to think perhaps I lack imagination, or maybe a subconscious fondness for the 1980s pop group?!

Broken Wings is still a winning song.

This is my favorite choker necklace, I’ve had it since I was in college.
And yeah the sweater is a crop top lol, maybe not appropriate attire for Thanksgiving but it was just me and my parents.

wherefore are this little dog figures in the box? do you put them into your hair like hair ribbons? : D I see nothing to attach them. I mean without dog hair ribbons, your look wouldn´t be really completed, or? : P

We have Zibelemärit tomorrow (onion market day) and it comes from the medieval period when the capital was on fire. The onion farmers around the canton came to the rescue and since then we celebrate it as a way to pay homage to their trade (selling onions, eating onions, making onion inspired toys and statues, hitting people on the head and then throwing confetti). For tourists it is one of the most weird experiences ever since we are usually very solid.=D

Oh, there's an onion fest tomorrow? I wish I was there. Hitting people on the head and throwing confetti is my favorite part of it. And making onion inspired statues. Good times.

Nice to see English Bull Terriers being accepted despite the extreme danger to their produce.

Considering we had a count who once believed he was a descended of an actual bear and could transform into a bear himself….Zibelemärit is much more tamer.=D

Oh, they are attached to necklaces lol, I guess that wasn't obvious... the picture does make them look a bit odd and detached.
I do have hair ribbons, but none with dogs on them... yet. I have a lot of butterfly clips though.

We actually had something similar here, some people known as berserkers. The word berserk means "bear shirt", their only job was to fight and it's said that they transformed into bears and wolves, shapeshifters. There were three animals cults, bear, wolf and boar. So they wore bear, wolf and boar skin. Exciting times. And very violent. There's even a famous poem about them from the 9th century, it's about King Harald Fairhairs personal berserker shock troops:

I'll ask of the berserks, you tasters of blood
Those intrepid heroes, how are they treated
Those who wade out into battle?
Wolf-skinned they are called
In battle they bear bloody shields
Red with blood are their spears when they come to fight
They form a closed group
The prince in his wisdom puts trust in such men
Who hack through enemy shields

How many heavy metal songs have been made about this poem? It is Scandinavia, after all...

To be fair, you’re all vikings up there so you have an excuse. Here….well, The count here was just crazy. Thought if he transformed into a bear during hunting for a bear he could get one. It didn’t turn out well.=D

You can't make a heavy metal song here and not use that poem in the lyrics, it's illegal.

Did you see what we did this year? Clearly an hommage to the wolf skinned berserkers. So disappointing that we didn't win. Maybe it wasn't weird enough, next year we'll totally win everything.
