What is Vila sending me for Christmas?

His plurals are a little odd and I think he's seeing double with the Travises. And poor Avon! It should be the other way round.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, vila_restal sent to me...
Twelve safes role-playing
Eleven vaults sleeping
Ten cats a-snoozing
Nine baniks napping
Eight jewels escaping
Seven riddles a-writing
Six escapes a-lock-picking
Five lo-o-o-ocks
Four travis
Three drinks
Two jenna stannis
...and an avon in a coffee.
Get your own Twelve Days:


Actually I think the success of this meme depends on how many plural interests people have; if there's aren't many (and -is shouldn't count as one), it resorts to their flist.

As for the changed LJ update page, I don't mind the layout which seems clearer, but I really hate the font size they're using for the text. My Firefox setting of at least 12 doesn't work on it. :-(

Naturally Avon in a coffee, don't computer techs bathe in coffee? :^)

Yes, the software thinks anything ending in s is a plural, which made mine rather nonsensical. But Vila's list is good, because it's got a lot of present participles that can be swapped in for the verbs.

Re LJ, what really annoys me is being forced to compose entries in a san serif font, which I find harder on the eye. I thought there used to be an option for changing fonts somewhere, but I can't find it.

You can change the fonts on a lot of styles in LJ and I see that I'm typing this in what looks like Times Roman. You may also be able to change the font in your browser. I have Firefox and Opera; I should experiment when I get the time.

Four Travis? Isn't two quite sufficient?

Depends what you're using them for...

Very true. And you never know when you might need a spare.

Good point.

Vila's collecting the entire set.

Trust Avon to be where the coffee is... ^_~

And ensuring no one else drinks it!
