Bear with me

Wouldn't you like to see a film about a bear who fought in World War II?  Well you probably won't any time soon.  Sadly.  Here's the story.

And since we are talking about bears and how they're awesome and can do awesome stuff like drink beer and carry ammunition... Well, then you HAVE to know the story of Potapych, one of my all-time favourites.  I ADORE HIM.

Take your friends to parties, but don't let parties take your friends.

Not my monkey

This is not my monkey

This, also, is not my monkey

Brilliant!  I love Polish! I love Poland! I love pierogi!
I love the fact that the phrase is "not my circus, not my monkey!"  I will be practicing saying it in Polish.

You may not know this, but as Scotland had an influx of Polish people in the early 2000s, some people learned some Polish phrases.  I was one of them.  I can say hello, how are you, thank you.  And now I can say, "not my circus, not my monkey."  Watch out, Polish bouncers, prepare to have your socks and/or trousers&pants knocked off!
