Pariah Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Um, because you had to bathe your four year old last night when she started projectile vomiting ten minutes after you put her to bed? (No, wait, that was me. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I've been to Övertorneå/Matarengi. I've been to Storsarkasvaare. I've been to Kiruna. Those ain't metropoli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Well, AFAIK those don't have trendy clothing lines popular among US college-age people named from them, which Hollister does, which continues to astound me every time I see the name.

Cancer Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I don't think retailers here name brands after locations ... Then what do the Ikea folks name their products after? Their pet dogs?

Bazza Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Then what do the Ikea folks name their products after? Their pet dogs? Past sex partners? Insane relatives? Speaking of Ikea Girl (pointing to a cupboard under one of the bookshelves): Can you get to Narnia through there? Me: Unfortunately, I don’t think you can. Girl: Oh. Our wardrobe at home doesn’t work for getting to Narnia, either. Me: No? Girl: No. Dad says it’s because mum bought it at IKEA.

Cancer Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hm, I'd think one from Ikea would work better than one from Wal-Mart. Isn't the latter the way the Witch got into Narnia in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 London, at least on this plane. I read the first chapter to my niece once. I think I did too good a job -- then the girl goes poof, she didn't want me to read any more. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I haven't read much of Lewis's stuff. I was much more averse to theologically tuned writing when I was young, I did very little recreational reading while I was in college, grad school, and postdoc, ... and by then I had less time.
