    The number of people apparently waiting in breathless anticipation to learn the name of yet another British royal whelp.

    The amount of interpretations of lamia as man-snatchers who smash and grab and bang before vanishing back into the jungles makes it hard to do research on them without setting off my school's web filters.

    How many people guessed "Archie" before the announcement? My thesis is that the British royal family has no taste in names. Either that, or they are deliberately cruel to their children. Why not call the baby Steve or Mike? Or even Bob?

    Introduction meeting at work tomorrow at one... I start at two... the meeting is supposed to be 15 minutes... which means I'll have to get into work an hour early and just sit around inbetween meeting and work.

    Also... I've been working here for a week already. What 15 minutes of information do I need now?

    Not much royal gravitas there. If he has a brother, they should name him Jughead.

    Maybe the British citizenry will finally abolish that worthless drain on the public exchequer before King Archie ascends to the throne.

    It's not a meeting for you to receive information. It's the ritual Joining By Blood. You will be cut in the palm of your hand, and your blood will be mixed with the blood of the Company Founder. If the Founder is dead, they will siphon some from their cryogenically-frozen supply. You will drink the mixture as the Board of Directors chants the Chant of Joining. Then you will be branded with your employee number.

    Then, and only then, will you start your day's work.

    You forget this is Sweden - its more likely that it will be a group hug session where everyone talks about their feelings, followed by a sauna and rolling around in the snow naked

    Well, yes, but if, God forbid, something terrible were to happen to the six people ahead of him, ...

    Robo-voiced Youtube videos.

    I know why they happen and the monetized youtube channel dynamic and all that noise. None of that makes it any less annoying.

    Me: I don't like liver.
    Almost everyone I've said that to; Oh, you'd like mine!
    Me: Really? Does it have liver in it? Yes? Then no, no I wouldn't.

    Noobs on RP forums who think the rules don't apply because they've never RPed before. I've had to calm down five flame wars over a vampire that was not by any means a vampire, and my RP groups have been reported three times by the same idiot.

    Just encountered my first one yesterday. Yup. Fascinating for a while, because of the weird intonation and inflection, then annoying.
