HANGING BASKET
”Would you like this old ceramic hanging basket?” ”Sure, why not!” //
”I can put my balcony flowers in this.” //
”Oh no, the basket was broken!” //
”I guess I just have to throw it away… Hey!” //
”Someone has thrown away two perfectly good (plastic) hanging baskets!” //
”When life closes a door it opens a thrash bin!”
NO FINE DINING
Blanch and peel the tomatoes, remove seeds and cut the flesh into cubes. //
”…” //
”Why bother.”
FANTASTICAL ENVELOPES
Loppui ideat oikeista eläimistä, joita piirtää kirjekuorien koristeeksi. Onneksi on kuvitteellisia.
I ran out of ideas for animals to draw on envelopes. Luckily, there are mythical ones.
THE BIGGER THEY ARE, THE HARDER YOU HIT THEM
”Where are you going, Kati?” ”To clean up the toilets.” //
”With an axe and a hammer?” ”Yes.”
Minulla oli oikeasti hyvä syy ottaa työkalut mukaan vessansiivousreissulle…
I actually had a good reason to take tools along when going to clean the toilets…
MORNING OFF
”Okay, so I’ve got this morning off. I could stay in the tent and sleep till lunchtime…” //
”…but the camp kids are noisy so I’ll go for a walk.” //
”This was totally worth of not sleeping!”
FROM THE MOUTH OF CAMP KIDS…
”Kati?” ”Yes?” ”Do you have kids?” //
”No, I don’t. You 29 are quite enough for me.” //
”Why didn’t you ever get kids of your own?” //
”Heyheyhey! I’m not too old enough for it yet!”
WITH GREAT POWER…
Middle school physics class: ”Today we talk about an interaction that in everyday life could be referred to as strength. But does anyone know what it’s called in physics?” //
”Ha! We can guess!” ”Force!!!” ”No it’s not.” //
”Yeah, it’s power.” ”This ain’t Star Wars.” ”You’re such nerds.” ”Actually, it is force.” //
”We could say we told you so.” ”But it’s not the Jedi way.”
Mä itse asiassa pidin yläasteen fysiikasta. En muista siitä paljoa, mutta tän hetken muistan hyvin.
I actually liked middle school physics. I don’t remember much of it but this scene I remember well.
Star Wars by George Lucas
THE BRAVEST OF THE GALAXY
Sarjassamme hommat lähti lapasesta… Eevee teki minulle kuvan, jossa valkoposkihanhi siteeraa jedimestari Obi-Wan Kenobia ja ilmoittaa olevansa ylemmällä maalla. Tästä eräs toinen kaveri innostui sanomaan sanan ”hanhijedi” ja se oli sitten menoa. Kyseinen jedi on noin kahden kilon höyhenpallo, ja koko galaksin pelottomin soturi.
In our series of things getting out of hand… Eevee made me a picture of a barnacle goose quoting Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and saying he’s got the high ground. Another friend then uttered the magic words ”goose Jedi” and that was my cue. This Jedi is a ball of feathers weighting about two kilograms. He’s the most fearless warrior in the whole galaxy.

Ehkä on koko lajin juttu puhua takaperoisesti, tai ehkä se on vain Yodan juttu… Mutta kuka tietää.
Maybe it’s the whole species that speaks weirdly, or maybe it’s just Yoda… Who knows.
