"Mozart wrote this piece in four flats...because he moved three times."
Do they also have a friendship pin with the US and Iranian flags together?? ;-)
Who would want one of those? I didn't see one but feel free to peruse -- it's not my site, just one I found by mere chance.
Yeah, I read about that a week or so ago. Initially they said that Danish pastries in Iran were to be called "muhammadines" or something stupid similarly.
"a week or so ago"
Am I late or what ;)
I'd suggest everyone pass on that Iran version. Or else wear it upside down or Iran's side splattered with paint or...
bump for publicity
They also have a USSR/US label pin. LOL. Yeah, what a great friendship that was!!
I can imagine that Iranians in exile would wear those.
Yeah, late but it wasn't as if it was big news a week ago...just that it was written in among one of the many articles coming out in the few days after the Danish cartoonjihad started, like last weekend or thereabouts. I remember it only because I thought it was particularly stupid. Stupid, as if no one in Iran is going to know that they are NOT eating a Danish just because they're calling it something else. Stupid...
I think they should encourage their people to wear Danish by whatever name instead of explosives. Now THAT would be not stupid, but smart.
Yeah, like I wrote, the list of available "friendship" includes just about every possible combination, now that I looked (earlier link). U.S. and Pakistan, U.S. and Syria, etc., seems bizaare.
I'm surprised they haven't starting baking pastries in the shape of mini IEDs
I could really use a piece of kringle for breakfast right about now...
Yeah, me, too. All this talk about pastries...
Yes, nice, thanks!
Doh! I always mix the two up. Mostly, when I hear the word "danish", it makes me think of Ty Webb's quote of Basho....
A flute with no holes is not a flute. A donut with no holes is a danish.
Don't feel badly. I made the same mistake earlier elsewhere and only realized the distinction between the two nations after another FRer pointed out the discrepancy.
They have a US and Palestine friendship one too!
