while attempting to pick up some trash with my toes, I thought, I could admit defeat
then I snared it and thought, but I would rather claim victory with defeat
I can’t recall if it’s the line “the game’s afoot” or “elementary, my dear Watson” or both that never appears in a Conan Doyle-authored Sherlock Holmes work.
IIRC they come entirely from one of the TV or film adaptations and yet they are indelibly linked to the property now.
Yeah "Cluedo" is literally just a pun based on Ludo. That's it.
The pun wouldn't work in America so here it's just Clue.
These posts are giving me Cluedo narrative dissonance.
Pretty sure that pun doesn't work over here in the Netherlands either, but that's our name for it too. Except, it's pronounced as Clu-edo, with three syllables. And it's only this thread that made me realize that isn't the case in English. Huh.
Sorry, no bad joke here, unless you wanna talk about my country's mangling of loan words.

English doesn't have problems with loan words only because they kidnap them, mangle them, and keep them forever
I saw a young boy crying by himself today, couldn't have been more than 3 or 4.
I went up and asked him "What's wrong? Do you know where your parents are?"
In response the young boy started crying even harder, big fat tears rolling down his cheeks.
Anyway, that's how I got fired from the orphanage, how's your day been?

I just realized the word "wholesome" is an oxymoron.

Also today I was given a behind the scenes tour of my museum's static gallery museum by the woman who runs the operations. It recently reopened after a huge renovation and some exhibits are still yet to be installed. They were working on one gallery, and when one of my colleagues asked what was going in there, she said, "Clocks." After some discussion she added, "That's the one exhibit that has to be on time."
(As per usual, this and my previous post are both true stories.)

Eh, you'll need to kiss more than them for a proper sample.

You may think that means you're some kind of original romantic but you're more of just a standard deviant.
