		+	Nah, it's a family group of cetations. You know how people had to lock down, with little opportunity for exercise and nothing to do all day but eat? After putting on the "Covid stones" my figure more closely resembles that of a whale so I know I am in a pod.[[Special:Contributions/162.158.38.52\|162.158.38.52]] 18:38, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

	Never - hitherto - encountered "pod" in this context...however, given that I'd already been commenting on how twatty "bubble" sounded, I'm going to start forcibly introducing it as aggressively as I can possibly manage.

		+	Given that a year ago, the term [https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Bubbling bubbling] meant "pee in one's mouth" I think the opinion would not have been entirely incoherent. Maybe a bit strange, though. [[User:Mumiemonstret\|Mumiemonstret]] ([[User talk:Mumiemonstret\|talk]]) 13:32, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

	Here in France, there's a surge of cases in the département (county/district) of Mayenne. Typically French licence plates have an F on the extreme left, and the département logo/number on the extreme right. However there is no actual law that states that the number on the licence plate must be the same as the one the car is from, only that it is illegal to modify plates in any way (such as covering the département number with the BZH (Brittany) flag or other such regional things. It's a clever little ruse that a number of people living in Mayenne have changed their licence plates to pretty much anything that isn't 53, so when they drive around outside of the département, people aren't like "oh my god, plague!". Given this, and the sheer number of little winding back roads and farm tracks only suitable for tractors and 2CVs, it'll be interesting should they decide to lock down Mayenne. I live near the border (on the outside) so I'll go grab a face mask and a bag of popcorn...

 I think we should start a category of comics in which Randall/Cueball interacts with (or imagines interacting with) his past self or someone from the past -- some of them are literally [[:Category:Time travel|time travel]] comics (e.g. [[2280: 2010 and 2020]] and [[2220: Imagine Going Back in Time]]), but others are not, at least not directly (like this one, or [[2302: 2020 Google Trends]]).  Some ideas for the category name: "Retrospectives", "Comics featuring perspectives from the past", "Comics imagining what the past might think of the present"...I'm not wild about any of these; does anyone else have other suggestions?  --[[User:NotaBene|NotaBene]] ([[User talk:NotaBene|talk]]) 18:15, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
