Texts from Hillary
Couldn’t help it. One more text from Hillary. Original image by Kevin Lamarque for Reuters. TTYL It’s been an overwhelming–and hilarious–week for us here at Texts from Hillary (TFH). What started as a joke at the bar between two friends turned into a national conversation about Secretary Clinton and went as far as talks about 2016. After a week that included 32 posts, 83,000 shares on Facebook, 8,
折りたたみ傘嫌う夫 許せない : 家族・友人 : 人生案内 : YOMIURI ONLINE（読売新聞）
５０代主婦。同じ５０代の夫は酒もたばこもやらず、家族のために身を粉にして働き、私と娘、ペットの犬を愛してくれます。でも、人としてどうしても許せないところがあります。折りたたみ傘が嫌いな点です。 朝から雨だと、夫は大きい傘を差して出かけます。でも小雨の日や、途中で雨が降り出しそうな日は、折りたたみ傘を持たず、防水仕様の登山帽とダウンコートで出かけるのです。 使わない理由として、夫は「山歩きをする時は傘を使わないし、折りたたみ傘は使った後に干してたたむのが面倒」と言います。でも、私たちが暮らしているのは山ではありません。夫が周囲から「傘も買えない貧乏な人」と思われるのも嫌だし、私も顔から火が出るほど恥ずかしくなります。 何とか夫に折りたたみ傘を使ってもらうため、良い方法を教えてください。（東京・Ｓ子） 折りたたみ傘を持たないことが人として許せないとは、おだやかではありませんね。ご主人もたんに面
FRENCH BLOOM NET » How to fake French, または民族ジョークについて
最近、Facebookで友人がある動画を紹介していた。題して「フランス人のふりをするには」。方法は次の４つ。 ステップ１：ワインが大好きなふりをする ステップ２：賛意を示すために口で変な音を出す ステップ３：もし可能なら、喋らないですむように食べ続ける ステップ４：賛意を示すために罵り言葉を使う 実際にフランス人と話したことがある人には、かなり笑えるはずだ。 身振りやアクセントには、確かに民族性が出る。そこからステレオタイプも生まれる。日本人の真似をするならやたらにお辞儀すればいいし、アメリカ人を演じるなら「ヒャッホー！」と叫べばいい。こうした民族性を誇張した民族ジョークというものもあり、僕は結構好きなのだが、現代日本ではあまり流行しないようだ。僕の友人がみな育ちがいいのか、少なくとも個人的に聞かされたことが殆どない。授業で紹介しても、学生は笑うのは不謹慎だと自己規制をするのか
Vilnius mayor goes over the top in crackdown on parking violators
Drivers who park in cycle lanes would normally worry about receiving a fine or perhaps having their vehicle towed. They probably do not expect to have their car crushed beneath the wheels of an armoured personnel carrier which has the local mayor at the controls. But car owners in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, may be choosing their parking spaces a little more carefully after the city's mayor
Austrian driver allowed 'pastafarian' headgear photo
Having received his driving licence, Niko Alm now wants to get pastafarianism officially recognised An Austrian atheist has won the right to be shown on his driving-licence photo wearing a pasta strainer as "religious headgear". Niko Alm first applied for the licence three years ago after reading that headgear was allowed in official pictures only for confessional reasons. Mr Alm said the sieve wa
Dogs Don't Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving
Packing all of your belongings into a U-Haul and then transporting them across several states is nearly as stressful and futile as trying to run away from lava in swim fins. I know this because my boyfriend Duncan and I moved from Montana to Oregon last month. But as harrowing as the move was for us, it was nothing compared to the confusion and insecurity our two dogs had to endure. Our first dog
How to make a decent cup of tea, following George Orwell's golden rules.
Take a look at a Magnum Photos gallery on British teatime. There are rules to making a proper cup of tea. Now that “the holidays”—at their new-style Ramadan length, with the addition of Hanukkah plus the spur and lash of commerce—are safely over, I can bear to confront the moment at their very beginning when my heart took its first dip. It was Dec. 8, and Yoko Ono had written a tribute to mark th
Tony Blair's sister-in-law converts to Islam
She decided to become a Muslim six weeks ago after visiting the shrine of Fatima al-Masumeh in the city of Qom. "It was a Tuesday evening and I sat down and felt this shot of spiritual morphine, just absolute bliss and joy," she said in an interview today. When she returned to Britain, she decided to convert immediately. Booth – who works for Press TV, the English-language Iranian news channel – h
