Overheard Today

A conversation between two University students regarding Game of Thrones
"I couldn't believe it when that man killed that dog!"
There then followed a discussion about the killing of a horse, which looked so real. "Do you think it was real?"


And later, a party of four older people.
Man "So what's this I've heard about you having a sauna put in the sun-lounge?"
Woman. "I'm going to have a sauna put into the sun-lounge."
*****
Woman 2 "What is a sauna anyway? Is it a hot-tub?"

sigh

Yes,but you have the nous to know it's not real, at least intellectually.
These expensively educated children were having an earnest discussion about them actually killing a horse for a TV programme.

The "dog" comment was me being a newly minted Game of Thrones snob at them not knowing the name of the character or the actor or the fact it was in fact a Direwolf, not a dog - you don't see anything on screen for that one. They are really quite pivotal parts of plot and not like me confusing actors at all. Really.

I think this line's mostly filler.

Of course another HBO show, "Luck", was cancelled for killing horses.

Seen today (sorry, no pictures):
1) a sign in Kentucky advertising "used cows" for sale

2) a bit earlier, a roadside sign advertising the KY Action Park. No doubt a popular destination for the local gay crowd.


I cannot make this stuff up.

Well, for starters, there's a fairly narrow time frame in which "new" cows can even exist...

...Aaaaand next:

Wrong 'KY'. Don't put it on yer biscuit, either.
