Yes, but in Russia, home decorates _ **you** _. No, I don’t know what the means, either. Ask Yakov Smirnoff. 😀 ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > “The weather is here. Wish you were beautiful.” Sounds like a postcard sent by the ex-husband of the woman now driving his Porsche Boxter, illustrated just above your post, while he licks his wounds on some Caribbean island! 😀 Why, as a male, am I laughing about this? Because in my experience many guys who drive cars like that are assholes. ---

For years, Toronto bus and streetcar stops were designated by a thick red line, top and bottom, with a graphic of a bus or streetcar. Under that, with the word displayed vertically, black letters on a white background, was the word: S T O P Somebody with a can of white paint came up with an idea, and it obviously caught on, as shortly after, and for years, the altered signs said: S T U D No amount of cleaning the signs, or changing the signs out helped; they were just painted again, until the transit commission gave up. So, for years, Torontonians knew to catch the bus at the local “Bus Stud.” ---

Does this fit here? Probably not. But today we were behind a pickup truck that had a “Fuck Biden” sticker on the left side of the bumper. My husband noted that this left room for a “Suck Trump” sticker on the right. 😄 ---

In the restroom stalls at work they have paper seat covers in a wall-mounted dispenser. The brand name on the dispenser is “Rest Assured”. Someone covered up the “ured” part. mmm ---

I haven’t watched it that many times, but more than once! Funny thing is that I started watching the premiere episode and noped out because the country music thing was annoying the heck out of me. So glad I went back! It deepened as it went on, plus it gave me what seemed like a more real view of NZ than I’d seen in other series. What were the names of those bars? The Snake and Lion. The Frog and Cheetah. A little thing but always made me chuckle. I like you, too! ---

I worked in Downtown Boston where the many Revolutionary War historic sites are/were linked for walking tourists by a line of red paint or red bricks along the sidewalks with labels every so often, FREEDOM TRAIL. One day I saw a street person dutifully covering, with small objects, the DOM and the R in TRAIL. ---

I’m not a country music fan, but it fit with MIke’s character. That and the dopey car he drives, which seems to be a New Zealand version of the Ford Falcon (of blessed memory). ---
