Orxata?

you know those long pastries? do you also call them vigilantes?

ZombieKitten said:

The ones especifically made to be dipped in orxata are fartons (That's catalan too)


Never heard of vigilantes for any pastry. Must be an argentinian thing

facturas (pron FUCK-TOO-RAS )

Facturas are bills (to pay). I'm lost now
I have to go home too. Lunch time
See you

My cat can say "no". She hates it when I pick her up when I'm standing and she says "Nooooo". She kind of sounds like Mr Bill.

"Come on Mimi. Say something"

"Meow"

"That's hello in Chinese!"

A Chinese grandmother claims her cat can talk.



Granny Lv, 70, of Changchun city, says Mimi has become a local celebrity because he can speak Chinese.

She said: "I was playing mahjong with friends at home, and suddenly I heard someone call me 'Laolao' (Grandma).

"My first thought was that it was my granddaughter, but she was not at home."

Lv then realised her pet had made the sound, reports City Evening News.

"It may be because my granddaughter calls me Laolao all day long, and Mimi learnt it after hearing it so many times," she said, adding that Mimi had since expanded her vocabulary.

"When he wakes up and sees nobody around, he'll say, 'ren ne?' (where is everyone?). When we're playing mahjong, he'll come over and say, 'gan sha ne?' (what are you doing?)."

Neighbour Mrs Wang say Mimi's pronunciation is very clear, but "he sounds like a little girl, although he is a boy".
