Not a problem, sir

I mean, that really did happen, with the Allied armies running out of fuel on the drive to Paris which allowed the Germans to fall back to the Siegfried Line without issue.

So using EV tanks changes nothing I guess :shrug:

This is followed by a midweek of cryptofascist meanderings, before yet again clawing through the bottom of the barrel and into new depths.

From what I've heard these suffragettes = cats images were meant to mock the idea of feminism, which seems insane from a modern perspective because this cat clearly rules and is worthy of respect. Why associate something you hate with one of the world's most beloved and adorable animals and then write a poem about that animal being a badass?

In Norway we have a fun game called "knock the cat out of the bag". You decorate a bag with cat pictures, children hit it with sticks and candy comes out. Well, a few years ago I learned that putting candy in the bag is a relatively new tradition.

:catstare::catstare::catstare:

quote:

Traditional events include slå katten af tønden ("hit the cat out of the barrel"), which is somewhat similar to using a piñata. It occurs following the church service of Shrove Sunday in parishes of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark and, also, at non-religious celebrations in city squares etc.[4] This tradition is also celebrated in Scania (Skåne) in southern Sweden, a formerly Danish area. To play this game, a wooden barrel full of candy is strung up in a suitable location and then the game is on: the participants each get a go to strike the barrel with a club or stick. There are sometimes oranges too inside the barrel and it has the image of a cat painted on it. After the candy pours out, the game continues until the entire barrel has been smashed to pieces. The one who knocks down the bottom of the barrel (making all the candy spill out) becomes kattedronning ("queen of cats"); the one who knocks down the last piece of the barrel becomes kattekonge ("king of cats").[8] The same tradition is held in the Faroe Islands but the barrel is most commonly empty. The person to finally knock down the last piece of the barrel becomes kattakongur ("king of cats").

In Denmark and Scania, the barrel tradition has been practised for centuries, possibly introduced by Dutch immigrants to Copenhagen during the reign of Christian II of Denmark in the early 1500s. Historically, there was a real cat in the barrel, and beating the barrel and chasing the cat symbolised demolishing evil and chasing it away.[4] It was practised up until the 1800s, with the last known event occurring in the 1880s. The cat was not killed, but allowed to escape when the barrel was broken. The practise also used to be popular in Holland and similar events were known from Germany, called "Katzenschlagen".[9] The Danish tradition is still celebrated today, but candy is used instead of a cat.

The fun part was apparently chasing down the cat after it got out. It's a wooden barrel though unless you're below 5 years old though. I'm betting it's Danish in origin, at least more than Norwegian, since it's exceptionally cruel.
