Update from The House of Plague, Day 13

[elisi]

Nothing keeps happening in my daily life. Although I am (I say, hopefully) managing to wrestle my fic into submission.

Via my flist (I forget who, sorry!), Italian mayors:

"I stopped him and said, 'Look, this isn't a movie. You are not Will Smith in I Am Legend. Go home."
This is the updated compilation of Italian Mayors losing it at people violating #Covid19 quarantine. Yes, subtitles are accurate. pic.twitter.com/60V4Csuonb

You asked for more Italian Mayors losing their shit at people breaking quarantine. I'm delivering. Here's two more mayors.

From Supernatural:
Toilet paper

All together now:
When quarantine is finally over

More beautiful photos from walks in the Faroes:

25.03.2020 - Mykines
(We went there summer 2018. The girls are still HAUNTED by the walk. It is very high up, the 'paths' are very rudimentary, and where you walk right next to a thousand foot drop there might be a little handrail if you're lucky.)

That toilet paper thing is funny!

[elisi]

Which one?

[wolfy_writing]

The Supernatural one.

[elisi]

There was one in the Very British Problems also (and in the office we were literally talking about the BIG rolls of toilet paper and how the cleaners could create a nice little black market...)

But yeah, the Supernatural one is great. :)

[promethia_tenk]

Dare I ask what the problem with peach is?

[elisi]

It's ugly and twee? IDk, we have some atm.

[promethia_tenk]

But peach what? Like the fruit?

[elisi]

Toilet paper the colour of peach.

[promethia_tenk]

Your toilet paper is colors?!?!?

Why?

[elisi]

Why not?

[promethia_tenk]

Do police cars not normally play music?

I'm on the side of the enforcers, but I must admit that a hair cut would be lovely. Growing out a pixie is no fun. But it's better than getting sick.

At least no-one will see me when the pixie reaches the "mullet" stage.

[elisi]

Wear a hat? Or a scarf? Cosplay! :D

[desdemonaspace]

Yup - hat weather coming up.

Also, with no-one to trim the back, I get to fold the long stuff up into a little French roll. I actually like that part of growing out a pixie.

[elisi]

I'm sure you will look fab! You can knit a Jayne hat! :D

[desdemonaspace]

My knitting skillz are not the maddest, but I have a sun hat.

[elisi]

Or just get a burka and be 100% safe!

[desdemonaspace]

That's not a bad idea.

[elisi]

That, or a ghost costume. ;)

Hee Hee on the Italian Mayors. NYC and LA are predictably having the same problems. In a way China was better off - because people are terrified of the government and police over there. Same with India - although India has a horrid health care system, but it can effectively shut down.

Shutting down places like Rome, Barcelona, London, Paris, NYC, LA, Chicago, Boston, and Miami - pose a bit of a challenge. People are annoyingly and arrgoantaly blase. Virus, pfft. They are hosting Speakeasies and Potlucks here, apparently.

The upsides of totalitarianism...

You just made me think of this exhange from Doctor Who (lightly edited):

ZYGON: I will not change my mind behaviour.
DOCTOR: Then you will die stupid.

[yourlibrarian]

Nothing happening is a very good thing these days ;)

[elisi]

It very much is. Hurrah for boredom! (I say that, work is busy...)

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Oh dear - I have just laughed so much I have had to rub my eyes with my hand....

My favourite is in the comments to the Very British Problems - the person whose grandfather suggests cleaning your teeth with Vim...

Although the dogs with inflamed prostates come a very close second :)

[elisi]

Oh dear - I have just laughed so much I have had to rub my eyes with my hand....
Oh dear indeed. Although I shall hope that laughter is the best medicine! :D

Oooh, never got that far. I shall have to check them out, thank you!

Although the dogs with inflamed prostates come a very close second :)
Won't somebody think of the children dogs?

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

And now I have just been laughing again so much it hurts; I read some of the VBPs to S2C - who said that thing he didn't understand was the instruction to sneeze into your elbow - and he, genuinely, had misunderstood and was trying to sneeze against the outside of his elbow :P

[elisi]

OK, that made ME laugh out loud. Brilliant. :D

The man running out of Downing Street is one of the most hilarious, surreal things I've seen in the Internet in the past few days. It looks like a sitcom scene!

There are also other vids about Italian mayors VS quarantine, but they are in our channels for now. Basically, we like to scream and gesture a lot in times of stress. Who would have thought, right? XD

Isn't it just? And he's such a cretin. Run faster! >:)

We live vicariously through them. Many many thanks from all of us. <3

[sea_thoughts]

Every time I feel down/anxious, I watch the Benny Hill one on a loop, it really cheers me up. >D

My favourite Italian one is the guy going "MOBILE HAIRDRESSERS?! WHO'S GOING TO SEE YOUR HAIR WHEN THE CASKET WILL BE CLOSED?!" :')

Flawless plan! :D

This. Although I'm also partial to 'STOP PLAYING PING PONG, go home and play some computer games!!'

[sea_thoughts]

Also I love the shots of Mykines, I love being up high.

[elisi]

It's certainly the place for it... D:

[ragnarok-08.livejournal.com]

I love the shots of Mykines :)

The man running out of Downing Street is just hilarious XD

[elisi]

It's very beautiful.

He is a CRETIN and I'm happy to report that running didn't save him, he's currently self-isolating.

[silverusagi]

Italian mayors do not give a f*ck!

[elisi]

Au contraire, the care A LOT. And don't mind saying so. ;)

[kathyh]

Dominic Cummings running out of Downing Street will never not be funny but the music certainly adds to it.

I’m surprised VBP only suggested a small jar of Marmite as part of a self-isolation survival kit as I made sure I had a large one :)

Didn't run fast enough, covid got him anyway! >:)

I thought one was enough for life??
