With Jane Austen Being A Possible Inspiration For Good Omens Season 2, There Has Been Some Speculations

I don't remember the context, except that it's definitely in a book by either Neil Gaiman or Terry Pratchett, but there was a hair salon that went through a litanie of names, all of them some sort of pun. I also don't remember any of the puns in English, but one of them in French was "Je fais ce que Cheveux". It's been my answer ever since when someone asks rude question about my hair.

Anyway I want to know all of the puny coffee shop names now. They're second-hand names. They should be in a pun shop.

I am coming to France next week!

Been super busy with lifeTM and have been listening to @malevolentcast  lately, so just had to sketch a bit today during our dnd session since who knows when I have any time the next time otl

Franchouillarderie might be useful to the American scientists who are planning on fleeing to France ...

If you were to talk about Concorde, would you do it on an episode of Britainology or Well There's Your Problem?

Britainology? Britainology?! Not unless it was a 50-50 shared episode with, like, Franchouillarderie, the French equivalent of Britainology

This is uncanny

- Timothy Snyder. The first and perhaps most important lesson from On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons for the Twentieth Century (2017)

Snyder's new book, On Freedom, was published in 2024.

In the late 2010s, I once car-pooled with someone whose car 1. Had a cassette player 2. Only contained a Best of Queens cassette. I spend the whole car ride ( several hours) wondering if I should say something. Since this was in France and I had never met another French person who had read Good Omens without me recommending it first, I didn't say anything, but I still think about it from time to time.

Q: What inspired you to have Crowley’s Bentley tapedeck turn everything into “The Best of Queen”?

Neil: Back in the days when all cars had cassette decks Terry Pratchett and I both noticed and talked about the fact that we had The Best of Queen tapes in our car we could not remember bying. And our theory was: all tapes turn in The Best of Queen. (x)
