    No.

  2. *yawn* This is the best Putin caption they could find? And to Harry Potter geek out for a second, it would have been at least slightly better if Putin was doing the more fitting “avada kedavra.” /potter geek

  3. Cuddlee says:

    Well, I loled :D

  4. Hapiface says:

    I giggled. :D

  5. AngelaF. says:

    If loled quite a bit.

  6. clueless says:

    But, but, but look how SHORT his wand is. What a disappointment.

  7. clueless says:

    Oh and Happy Vladerday everybody. Maybe I’ll stay in my slippers all day and just read a good book. (Drat, I am out of dog food. Can I go to the store in my slippers?)

    • viking gal says:

      Depends–is the ground dry? If so, go for it!

      • mabsba says:

        Ooooooooo…good thing you’re not a mom. We’d have to take away your mom card. ;)

        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

          I go to the store in my slippers all the time.

          • mabsba says:

            Ah, but you’re not a mom either. You have to “set an example” when you’re a parent. Of course, example of WHAT is not specified in the rule book…. :twisted:

            • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

              I don’t see what’s so bad about going to the store in ones’ slippers..?

              • clueless says:

                The problem is being seen by a total hunk when I am looking like a frump. Happens every time the hunks are out. If I’m looking great the store is empty.

                • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                  Well, get nice and dressed up, but wear the slippers. I doubt he’ll look at your feet.

                • Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

                  If he doesn’t think you’re sexy in your slippers then he’s not worth knowing!

                    ^ This

                  • Captain Wow the Ambassador of Awesome says:

                    My future hubby loves my pink VS slippers…. but I usually wear it with my matching robe and teddy… that might have something to do with it ;-)

                • mabsba says:

                  Well, you probably want a fellow dog lover and wouldn’t a fellow dog lover be impressed that you ran to the store, heedless of your appearance, to get your poor doggie some food? :)

              • mabsba says:

                We are all products of our upbringing. My mom was very strict about if you went outside, you either have shoes or are barefoot (of course, you could not GO anywhere barefoot). As an adult, I see that the shoe thing was about preserving socks; the barefoot thing probably had to do both with appearances and also with health, Mom having worked in an ER as a student nurse and dealt with people who cut their feet open.

                But the idea also makes me flash on those pictures of ‘shoppers of Walmart’ — awful lot of those people seem to be in slippers, lol.

                And if you are ‘looking,’ as Clueless seems to be, Murphy’s Law will apply and the very cute guy who didn’t notice you the last ten times you were at the store WILL notice you now. :) Not personally a big motivator for me, of course.

              • mabsba says:

                PS Don’t think I’m saying that I get all dressed nice every time I go to the store. I live within walking distance of several stores, so I often arrive looking less than perfect. :) Some things are just very hard wired for each of us.

                • viking gal says:

                  I guess I made out that my mother is a tomboy. Her attitude has always been 1) safe (from the cold, for example), 2) comfy, 3) looking decent. OK, there are photos of the two of us dressed for Easter with the dreaded white gloves, but that was more the exception which proved the rule!

                  • mabsba says:

                    My mom was very much the ‘why not let the children get dirty because you can always hose them off before letting them inside’ school. Most of her rules were based on practicality — if you went out without shoes, but with socks, you ruined the socks. ;)

                    But slippers at the store still reminds me of the ‘shoppers at Walmart,’ sorry.

                • lowly grunt says:

                  My sister lives in Midland TX and when she first moved there, she was stunned to see that people did their hair and wore makeup to the grocery store. Plus, big sweaters.

  8. silletta says:

    should be saying “avada kadavra”

  9. oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

    I think my favourite part of Vladurday is the adverts for the hot Russian brides.

    • mabsba says:

      I use Firefox with Adblock, so I don’t see those. In my defense, I had to do something about Sarah Palin’s grinning face on all the political lols. :)

      PS Why is your spelling British?

      • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

        *feigns indignation* Why is your spelling American?!

        • mabsba says:

          Um, because I’m American? I was just wondering if you have a British (or Australian or Canadian or any place except American) dictionary plug-in because I get errors when I put the extra “u” in words. Also, your punctuation is British, too. Just idle curiosity….

          • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

            No, I get the little red line of death too. I just choose to ignore it.

          • Endarkened says:

            It’s not an extra ‘u’. It’s Americans being too lazy to put it there in the first place. Colour, not color. Incidentlly, Foorball is played with your feet. Not your hands while wearing body armor.

            Incidently, before you backlash with something, consider that I am American as well. (albiet, with an English schooling, a Greek diet, and an internet upbringing.)

            • Default User says:

              Don’t be daft. Your spelling is too good to have an internet upbringing.

              • Endarkened says:

                Strangely, I have been getting alot of comments like yours lately. Is the miss-spelling on the internet getting worse? o.0
                Incidently, in regard to my *good* spelling, I invite you to look at the second line of my previous comment.
                foorball?
                I noticed that just as I posted it. I’m suprised (and worried) that noone has noticed it yet. My internet upbringing gave me okay spelling because I learned by watching the mistakes of others. However, the bad cases of misspelling are often just because the person is in a hurry. I do a check over of my comment. But if I didn’t, I would be worse than a troll.

                • Endarkened says:

                  Incidently, no one has noticed my incredible use and re-use of ‘Incidently’ in all my comments. FURTHER CAUSE FOR ALARM!

                • Danbala says:

                  Incidentlly and incidently should both be “incidentally”. *
                  “Foorball” should be “football”. *
                  “albiet” should be “Albeit”.
                  “alot” should be “a lot”.
                  “miss-spelling” ought to be “misspelling” **
                  “suprised” should be “surprised”.
                  “noone” should be “no one”.

                  … No cause for alarm, most of us just can’t be bothered pointing out typos most of the time. :)

                  *) (Yes, I noticed that you noticed that.)
                  **) Unless there is some particular kind of spelling which is reserved for misses?

                • Default User says:

                  I didn’t say your spelling was perfect, just to good for an internet upbringing. You didn’t use u in place of you, good isn’t spelled gud, you managed to put double letters in most, if not all the appropriate places, and you didn’t substitute any numbers for letters, foorball I assume is a typo, therefore not a spelling error but a proofreading error.

                • Why would Peter Noone noticed your post? ;)

            • mabsba says:

              Okay, we’ll consider that you are an American, but apparently are unaware that American English =/= British English yet have grasped the stereotype of Americans being lazy. I am less impressed with English ‘schooling’ now.

              • Endarkened says:

                By “American English =/= British English” I assume you mean that American is pretty much the same as British? Very true. I retract my previous statement, and put forward that the guy/gal/guys/gals who started writing when they settled America were linguistically lazy. Or maybe it was the ‘u’ shortage, as mentioned above. I lean toward the first option, because it fits with my theory that the first settlers were either brave, crazy, or looking for a free ticket to wealth.
                Brave: COWBOYZ!!!!
                Crazy: Salem witch trials. That whole story is seriously (excuse my Inuit-ese) F*CKING BATSH1T CRAZY!
                Greedy: Chinese Gold farmers.

                • Danbala says:

                  “By “American English =/= British English” I assume you mean that American is pretty much the same as British?”

                  Not quite, =/= is usually read as “not equal to”.

                • Default User says:

                  Have you tried reading anything written in the 16 or 17 hundreds? There was no standard spelling at the time. The same person might spell one word three or four different ways in a single work. Spelling was standardized around the 19th century when people started writing dictionaries, but the Americans decided not to use the u in alot of words. The Chinese gold farmers didn’t start coming over until after the language had been standardized, also they weren’t the original gold farmers, that would be the English and Spanish. Also, most cowboys were of Indian decent. Native American Indian, not Hindu Indian.

                  • mabsba says:

                    PS A lot of the standardization of American English came with typesetting, and the typesetters, given a choice, usually used the shortest version of any word.

                    This is why, for example, we also tend not to use terminal commas in lists. So it’s dog, cat and bird here rather than dog, cat, and bird. Much of this was codified in what journalists used to call the “AP Bible.” I don’t know if they still do or not. (AP = Associated Press)

                    • Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

                      Hmmm, I always use dog, cat, and bird. I didn’t know that was wrong according to AP. It just always made more sense to me that way.

                      • Wino says:

                        I didn’t know it was wrong to use the oxford comma for any press manual. I use it artistically – when I feel like it helps with the flow of the sentence.

                        • mabsba says:

                          It’s not about being ‘wrong.’ AP adopted the standards that minimized the amount of text used (hence decreased typesetting time and increased amount one can fit on a page). Most newspapers followed for the same reasons, hence it became the newspaper standard, which heavily influenced other uses. It doesn’t make the alternatives wrong, just not as common.

                          These reasons are now archaic, which is why I said I didn’t know if the AP standards were still used. I learned all this from friends in journalism in the late ’80s.

                          I believe Wino’s description of when to use the terminal comma is the best guidance for writing. After all, you should aspire to a higher standard than most newspapers, which are usually geared to an 8th grade reading level. :)

                    • When I was in school, we used the AP stylebook exclusively, so I’d say yes. There are other stylebooks, but none are as widely used as AP’s.

                • mabsba says:

                  Serious American history fail: the first Chinese were brought here to work on the railroads and were little better than slaves. They were not major participants in the gold rush.

                  And, yes, most of us noticed your MANY grammatical and spelling errors, but, as Danbala said, it’s usually a waste of time to point them out unless they create opportunities for humor…or humour.

      • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

        I all honesty though, I rather enjoy most of the way Brits (and the rest of Europe) spell (English) their words.

    • Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

      And here I thought I would have to wait to find my russian beauty when the ad to the right is telling me I can find her TODAY! Oh lucky day!

  12. uber says:

    well i read the books and putin would be saying adva kadava

    • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

      Thrice!

      • uber says:

        nope everyone know putin has the odin and the knights of the round materia

        • Default User says:

          Now your just mixing your nerddoms and that’s just silly.

        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

          Do what now?

        • paws4thot says:

          4* KOTR in a linked slot with MP absorb, 4* Bahamut Zero with HP absorb, Final Attack with a 4* Phoenix, 4* Mime and a 4* Magic Up I think you’ll find.

          • Default User says:

            Really? One KOTR is all you need. That’s the end right there. The last boss fight was a huge let down because of that actually.

            • paws4thot says:

              4* meaning 4 stars on the orb, not 4 orbs.

              And I’ve just realised that I missed the 4* “double summon” materia and the Edincoat. Of course, all this on one guy is overkill unless you’re after Ruby Weapon and Emerald Weapon. In which case you also need the Underwater materia.

              So to kill Emmy you use Double Summon to cast KOTR and B0 in round 1, characters 2 and 3 pass until you get back to character 1 who Mimes. Rinse and repeat until you’re Aire Tan Stormed, when Final Attack casts Phoenix to resurrect the party, then DS KOTR+B0…
              You should finiish with loads of XP, and a truckload of freshly mastered spell and support orbs to sell.

              • Default User says:

                I got 4*s, but you really don’t need the rest of that, the one KOTR will suffice. Everything else is just overkill. :P

  13. NeoClassical says:

    This must be from the next film, ’cause I don’t remember Dobby ever using a wand.

  14. walking chrome toaster says:

    more like: Exterminatus!

    BLAM!…..

  15. Dingo says:

    Bad Dobby! Stole wizards wand! Bad, bad, bad!! He needs to punish himself!

  16. And I was hoping for a good (read: funny) Vladurday for my birthday :(

  17. ladee says:

    Incidentally, there are British and Canadian spelling ad-ons for Firefox. I like how I’m able to get the north-of-the-border maple flavour with it. ;)

    Secondly, why does Putin look like an oompa-lommpa? That’s the important question.

  18. Jmcg_Ian says:

    I uploaded this, kicking myself for uploading as anonymous. My first post up, WOOP!

    OH NOES!!!! Its Lord Vladimort!!!!!!
