What is black and white and “red” all over?*

We like parties and we like dressing up…  so we loooooove dress up parties!
Can you guess who/what we are?

In keeping with the theme ‘black & white and red all over’, I used a pair of white tights which I attacked with black and red waterproof markers.
Although I was almost rendered unconscious by the alcohol fumes from said markers, I nevertheless persisted and finished the job in high spirits 😉

Bram, already in character, defied the theme and decided to dress up a bit differently.  (Hint: the hostess was also celebrating Kermit’s 54th birthday and a big fan of the muppets…)

 

*Answer: a newspaper, apparently this is a popular aussie children’s joke…

English expression of the day…

What would come to your mind if your boss would say the following to you:
“You’ll have to keep riding his arse!”

In a meeting room. Filled with other people.

Did I just hear that correctly? We were talking about a person of whom I’d definitely stay clear of that particular part of the body!
I guess the look on my face was quite obvious. After I managed to squeeze out the words “Did you… just say… riding…his…arse?”, hilarity ensued, red faces and laughter across the table made for another enjoyable meeting, aussie-style.

Oh and another frequent expression sending very wrong visuals to my already befuddled brain:
“We’ll have to suck it and see”
