Wasn't that obvious? It would be crazy to keep them for other 4 years

Well, the tower was also supposed to be temporary and yet, it's still there 137 years later.

They should have kept them there, like badges. Collected more and gotten totally blinged out. It should have a badge for WWII.

Apparently we have the Nazis to thank (?) for that. It was going to be pulled down but it made a very good radio transmitter antenna, so it stayed up

Thanks, nazis!

I mean, obviously? It's over. You don't leave your Christmas decorations up until next time 'round either.

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My Halloween decorations are still up from last year.

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 10 points 1 month ago

We already told you, the years old cobwebs are not a Halloween decoration

If you can make it through the labyrinth filled with fog machines, strobe lights, and swinging sickles at neck height, yes

You encounter a black cat just inside the entrance to the labyrinth

[–] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I pat the cat on the head and tell it “boo”. It pees on my foot and I move toward the red and orange lights, slightly sweating as the room has a comforting stench and warmth.

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The cat jumps up the side of the jagged rock wall and sits on a stone that slowly depresses. As it does, the lights go out. Its now pitch black.

You can hear the meows of the cat fade behind you, and the slow drip-drip of falling liquid in front of you.

I'd rather keep the rings and remove Paris

[–] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 2 points 1 month ago

Yes, they remove them so they can install the permanent ones.
