Unpopular Residents

· 7 Comments ·

The poster not only shows the unpopular residents and names them (they sound akin to birds and mushrooms) it also details their staying power, e.g. yellow shellthing 1-3 years (aka: slippolus bananicus or a banana skin), warbling swallow up to 50,000 years (aka: liquor cadaveri or glassy shot bottle), or cupped paper muggy up to 5 years (aka: cofficus warmicus or paper coffee mug).

Faded

That’s me (second row, serious expression) at my confirmation. I was a bit of a rebel which you can’t see in the photo because I defied the “black and white only” as I wore a dark blue skirt and blouson. The mini skirt was de rigeur (the girls wearing pant suits only did so because their mothers wouldn’t allow knees showing). Some of us joined the church youth group in the year to come and we were all very keen because of a charismatic young minister. We met every Friday, and I’ve just been reminded this week that I learned how to drink beer out of a boot shaped glass because we often used to go to pub afterwards. Three of the group became ministers themselves in later years and I considered this career for awhile. Then I grew up.

Good Advice Is Good Advice

I remember an interview with Meryl Streep quite a few years ago where she was asked about advice she had received from her mother. She mentioned two pieces of advice. I only remember one of them. Her mother apparently told her: “Never go upstairs empty handed.”

As somebody who’s grown up in a house with three levels I concur.

Here you go: a cow’s udder. … oh! Fan meant “utter”. I’m uttering a humble apology and offer a strawberry milk as apology and compensation. FOWC with Fandango: Utter
