My lovely Quicksilver is currently getting a much-needed carwash

Hurray for rain!

I had a moment like that when I realised that the mysterious dish mac'n'cheese people frequently referred to was actually what I call macaroni cheese.

...or like when I heard an American talking about "Snap Crackle and Pop" and finally realised that this strange foreign food Rice Crispies was what I called Rice Bubbles?

[silveronthetree]

Yep, exactly! I initially thought it was some sort of cheeseburger but couldn't work out why they were stored in boxes.

[deird1]

Hee! I thought that too!

(There's also the Wendy's thing. In America, they seem to sell burgers. Here, they're an icecream place...)

Ah, I'm jealous. We haven't seen rain in what feels like ages..

-sticks metaphorical plant outside, and watches it shrivel up in the heat-

*nods grimly* I think my daphne bush has died from lack of water - along with half my garden. I want to live somewhere where it rains...

Hurrah for rain - I hope there was enough for the car to not end up streaky!

Wait, it's supposed to mean sun-kissed?

...great minds unthink alike.

Odd name for a burger chain ;)

My dumb moment was realising that convertible cars were called that because they're...convertible...

Odd name for a burger chain ;)

...and one you already knew about (or should have). If, that is, you pay attention to the books on your bookcase. :)

I love realising stuff like that.

Well, yes certainly ;)
But still makes me laugh!
