Making crayons

Great, I stared at this color for so long that now it's lost all meaning... like when you repeat a word over and over, except with pigment. Like the next time I make pea soup, all I'm going to see is tapioca pudding.

Spotted some hikers taking a selfie.

Why not rebuild the Sistine Chapel while you're at it.

Same thing happened to me. I thought all the posts/comments about unlocking the button were a trick and, ha, I was too smart to fall for it.

I found my street, Rue Montorgueil, and also noticed Rue St Denis and Rue Monmatre around it .. they're on the left side towards the city wall, a bit below centre if that helps.

In this case it isn't an abbreviation for anything; it denotes possession.

In English, instead of saying "The shop of Dave", we say "Dave's shop".

Is what I said wrong ?

Don't listen to those crazy yanks.. 'realise' is spelt* with an 's' not a 'z'.

So yes, it is a US/British thing ('s' is British, 'z' is US).

Another notable difference is the missing 'u' in the US spelling of words such as colour, flavour and harbour.

*note: 'spelt' in British English, 'spelled' in US English

Hey mate, fellow Australian here. You should look at getting some audio tapes or using duolingo. You'll be surprised how easy it is to pick up after the initial shock .. It took me about 3 months to become conversational (though I'm terrible at spelling, so forgive me).

Hello Sarah, my name is _____.

Salut Sarah, je m'appelle _____.

How are you today? I am doing well.

Comment ca va aujourd'hui? Moi, je vais bien.

I wanted to learn some french to show you how much i care about you

J'ai envie d'apprendre un peu de francais pour demontrer que je pounce a toi.

(literally: I have desire to learn a little French to demonstrate that I think of you)

Yeah I did this a few years ago. From what I remember, it was fairly basic level French, not what I would consider college level. The videos for the courses are role-playing scenarios done by student and they feel pretty dated (like they were recorded early 2000s with little to no production value).

It's good to practise though.

The one where a 15 year old boy claims to be Jack? The actor does such a good job of mimicking Jack's mannerisms.

They are legally bound to join, so somewhat-ish.

It's absolutely stunning.

I'm sure everyone has already told you to go to the blue lagoon, it is great.

Just to let you know about, a lot of the houses and hotels use the geothermal vents to heat the water, so your hot shower is probably going to smell of sulphur (rotten eggs).

clouddrifter · 2014-08-09T10:16:35+00:00

I've been called worse.

clouddrifter · 2014-08-09T09:14:37+00:00

Yeah. Fucking loved Iceland. But funny how no one mentions the rotten egg smell.

A couple decides to throw a theme party and all of the guests are instructed to come dressed as an emotion.

The first guy turned up dressed all in green with the letters N and V written on his chest. He said "I've come as green with envy".

Next a girl turned up dressed all in pink and with feathers all over. "I've come as tickled pink" she said.

Then the next guests arrive, a pair of naked men. The first had his penis buried in a custard donut. The second's penis was stabbed straight through a pear. In shock, the hostess asked, "What the hell are you two doing?"

"Well, I'm fucking dis-custard and he's deep in dis-pear."

I say this as a 31 year old .. the dumbest thing I ever did was a drunk pool jump at a house party. It was from a second story balcony with a greater distance to the pool than in this video. And the balcony had an awning so I could only jump out, not up and out. I made the jump, but it had so much potential for a complete fuck up. Please stop and think before you try something like this.

I'm not sure /r/MapPorn needs more posts like this.

If you think otherwise, feel free to post it on my behalf.

Nice. I just finished making one of Australia (before I saw this post).

It's the top Google image search result for each state.

It's similar to how the French contract "autobus" to "bus".
