Okay, this is definitely the best thing I've seen on the internet today:

The thing is, the best way to understand Theresa May’s predicament is to imagine that 52 percent of Britain had voted that the government should build a submarine out of cheese.

Followed by (among other things) a magnificent selection of cheese-based puns.

Also, new icon.

I don't think there'll be a tsunami of new readers coming here, as I've never been a big name in fandom, either particular or general (except popslash, and I already know you all!), and I'm not really a participant in any of the current fandoms, but if anyone has happened upon this journal, hello and welcome! If you want to know a bit about me, probably the easiest thing is to look through the Snowflake Challenge tags. Or, just ask. :-)

I cried laughing at that Twitter thread. "We've covered this already, I know, but it's cheese and it's a submarine. How good could it possibly be?"

[pensnest]

Apart from the lack of existential despair, I think that thread pretty much covers how I feel about the whole mess!

[dine]

oh, the cavalcade of cheese-tastic puns! that was fantastic - I was laughing so hard (quietly, as I'm at work) as I read

[pensnest]

I wish I could remember such things for use in my own life. ;-)

[turlough]

That was hilarious! I laughed so hard I woke Lancecat up. He was NOT happy :-)

[pensnest]

Poor Lancecat! You have been Judged.

[sylvaine]

Heee, I like that icon!

redscharlach makes awesome icons.

I've picked up several new readers here over time. I don't think they're pulled in by my fannish history, just an odd combination of other stuff.

I think people sometimes look at your list of interests or see your comments in other journals.

[pensnest]

This is true - I do that myself. And you never really know what might spark someone's interest. I long for the day when someone arrives here in great excitement that she has found a fellow Instant Classic fan!

[turps]

I agree that's an excellent and cheesetastic thread.

[pensnest]

Cheese is surprisingly pun-filled.

[brandywine28]

You're a total popslash BNF. Don't be so modest. :)

[pensnest]

Yeah... just a *very* tiny pond, these days.

It's the clearest explanation I've ever seen of Brexit, certainly.


Your new icon is MARVELLOUS

[pensnest]

Sadly, yes it is. And it's probably just as well the thread replaces WOE AND DISMAY with humour.

red_scharlach makes very fine icons.
