Post something Weird or Random

Many years ago I saw a documentary about extreme weather disasters and one of the segments was bout the freezing rain that brought down all the power lines in Canada. The next night I ran in to a Canadian tourist and I asked him about it.

He said "That sort of thing happens all the time in Quebec because they still insist on speaking French. God hates them.".

Canada is a bit bigger than one ice storm, but my sister got caught in that. That fall, my bro-in-law had gone to help a friend clean out his garage, and was given a portable, gasoline powered electric generator. Sis was not at all happy with junk being moved to her garage from the cleaned out one, but only complained, not acted. That generator was the only power for them and three neighbours for six weeks.

Dog V4 brought a stick home from his walk once. The entire walk back he was swaggering because he'd 'stolen' another dog's stick!

My friend Titan got lucky, moving from a terrible owner to a great one. To mark his new territory, he decorated a small section of lawn with bones, and would restore any that were moved. Dog stories might need a new thread.

It's not the photo that's weird...

But, this orchid smells exactly like grape bubble gum!

That reminded me of this. It's a tourist attraction that has a name I can't write here. It begins with "Troll".

I think anyone who speaks English well can understand the name.

We've also got a few places here with names considered rude in other countries.

I just came across a list of rude place names and yours didn't get a mention. Nor any of the places I'm familiar with. It did surprise me how many of these places are in the US.

The French term for Chief Operating Officer is chef de l'exploitation.

I'm pretty sure something got lost in translation there. Or not.

This is just a terrible idea. I would not sit in that car, no matter how much they paid.
