OT: Memespotting
This delightful little illustrated guide to apostrophe use might amuse
or interest some people here:
http://apostrophe.me/
Curiously, it hits two UCSM memes; goats and eyewatering leisurewear.
Possibly three, but I can't remember whether bacon hats were here or
with work colleagues (I know it was one of the two).
Disappointing apparent lack of owls, though. Probably just too small to
see.

Someone here has a full-on breakfast hat, including bacon.

Apart from the ones that can carry off Volvos, obviously.

You'd be amazed at the weight a small owl can carry, and a Volvo is a
teeny, tiny, cardboard car.

I showed my kids that Push Button / Receive Bacon interpretation of hot
air hand dryers, and now all I have to do is say "Push Button" and they
fall about the place laughing. There's no predicting what will tickle
their funny bones.

A couple of years ago all I had to do was say "Boots".
