Volcano

We just call him Volcano, because calling him... *inhales while looking up the right way to spell the damn name* Eyjafjallajökull every time, is pretty damned near impossible for any non-Icelandic person. *unbinds knots on my tongue*

ahh, Eyjafjallajökull right? Took me a while to be able to say that

@aspentail2014 what does Eyjafjallajökull mean?

@potatoe4life It's a volcano in Iceland. The eruption of Eyjafjallajökull was huge and caused many European airlines to postpone their flights due to the smoke and ash that landed there. Yeah, Europe was NOT happy with Iceland after that, even though they have no control over the volcanoes.

@potatoe4life do you mean the word? If I brake it down it's: "Eyja" (meaning island), "fjalla" (meaning mountains) "jökull" (meaning glacier) So direct translation would be "Island-mountain-glacier"
But our word for volcano is Fire Mountain. No joke.

@KatrinLilja ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh mk, thx

Yeah I remember that. I was on holiday in Turkey and was forced to stay down there. Now at first it doesn't sound that bad but keep in mind we had only brought clothes and money for a week so we were in a slight predicament. Because of this the hotel we stayed at upgraded us to full boarding since no new customers were coming and they were getting refunds from the travelling agencies. So we had food and water but no clean clothes or money. After a few phone calls by my dad to his boss they helped us out somewhat because he could do some of the work from the hotel. My own boss made jokes about it but he had figured as much after he saw the news. First call I made his response was "Well you had swimming in school right? So I'll see you tomorrow" Reeeeeally funny -_-'
We couldn't get home until a week after we originally was supposed to. C'est la vie

Dont smoke kids. No airplanes will be able to fly then

Clever. Volcano would be cool avatar.

Don't smoke kids.

@TheGreatHeathenKing just say no

@chibiopabinia
Nancy Reagan started that campaign and coined that phrase for it, in the 1980s through the early 1990s.

There is, unfortunately, no evidence to suggest the campaign had any effect whatsoever on young people's drug use (though I believe it DID help her husband get re-elected for a 2nd term.)

Oh, that's about that volcano with the impossible to pronounce name that made planes unable to fly over Europe for like a week back in 2010, right?
I remember that...

Poor Volcano
