I still want to start the British chapter:

• Just heard of @Earthbound_Pets (fabtastic idea) – as a British #atheist, I'm going to ask them to set up a UK chapter. Nation of pet lovers! #
• "At this time we are not expanding our area or pet rescue teams. Should that change we will keep your email on file and be in contact." Bum. #

More general rubbish:

• How could Nala and Simba (who, tho rubbish, is still Mufasa's son) produce such a waste of space as Kiara? No, Lion King 2, you are UNcanon. #
• Don't ask why the Hindu festival of Thaipusam is making me think of straight-to-vid Fox&Hound-wannabe Disney sequels. Because I've no idea. #
• Oh, and Disney bought Marvel, which horrifyingly makes Incredibles/X-Men crossovers a possibility. Save us, Deadpool, save us. #
• Always have urge to yell at storms. Nature, trying to be MY boss? I can out-howl you any day of the…wait, weekday. No shouting at weather. #
• I've decided I won't rest until UGC is considered a verb. A dark, insinuating, ominous verb. Although actually I will rest, so that's a lie. #
• #vss #mfic 'Sleep paralysis': waking immobile, with a feeling of dread and a crushing sensation in the chest. Also known as 'owning a cat'. #
• True to my stated objective of drinking less aspartame-ridden Coke Zero, have been drinking a lot of Pepsi Max instead. …Wait. Damn. #
• Friend introduced me to the term 'straight edge'. Apparently people who make it a point of pride to be obnoxious right-wing versions of me. #
• My middle name celebrates a deep historical and etymological connection between dogs and cynics. Unfortunately, all it looks is pretentious. #
• If a guy behind you in line for ATM keeps saying Babe & making kissy sounds, best hope he's on a phone. Esp if you're too short to slug him. #
• Joanna Lumley is doing a cat prog, like Martin Clunes's one with dogs. How to pad "Annoying gits stink, shed, shred & ignore you" into 2×60? #

This in response to Zenbunny's post about Finland's seriously cute inferiority complex:

• #competitivefinnbaiting Finland has done nothing good since ABBA! (I love you, Finland. But your countryman drove me to this.) #
• Sexually harassing Finland. "You are the pin-up girl of Europe. You'll make someone a fine trophy annexe someday." #competitivefinnbaiting #
• Although context is for the weak, I should mention that the #competitivefinnbaiting is all in good fun with a darling Finnish mate. ILU .fi! #
