I was planning tomorrows, and I really like this one, but ... it's a bit specialist so it wouldn't be fair in an international site like this. Heck, I'd guess that fewer than one in ten native English speakers have even heard of the word, never mind those for whom it's a second or third language!
But I liked it so much, I thought I'd share:

No prize; just a warm feeling if you get it.

No prize? What's the prize for the regular one?
It's a loanword, so I don't know if English speakers really have an advantage here.

What? You thought that was a punishment?

I stared at that for quite a while before the light came on. I guess the CCC part of my brain is very small.

ACCORD?
"A CHORD" being "a minor", and "ACCORD" being agreement?

 Well, that didn't last long! But I didn't think yesterday's would either.

Dij has just brought in his second dead Robin of the day.
In addition, herself is dead-set against my idea to use them for 3D Christmas cards, along with a little glitter and some glue. Is that fair, I ask you?
Anyway, with a shortage of Robins, we'll have to cancel either Christmas or Batman ...

Surprisingly, he has brought in bats - Pipistrelles - but thankfully he hasn't killed any that we know of and we've been able to release them unharmed (to the best of our knowledge; they flew off).
I'm guessing that the combination of "flying" and "mouse-like" just really excites him!

It IS fair, and I started thinking, 'taxidermy', but yes, I think the response would be 'get stuffed'

If OG works quickly, he could use them as templates for 3D printing of a robin. 
(I just hope the weather stays cool)

I got that one straight away, but let it go - pity I can't get the CCC's at all

Keep them in your car. Then when someone annoys you while driving, you can really flip them the bird...

No way! Pooh would be most upset.

Now honestly, if the cancellation also means that those horrid TV binges would also be cancelled I'd call it a great deal, indeed.
I wouldn't really miss the short-term (totally insincere) pleasantries from people who'd step over your if you fell down in front of them (&etc.).
OK - I'll be a bit positive: how about if everyone takes that pretense of brotherly love they reserve for the latter half of December and spread it thinly throughout the year - you know - actually make the world a little nicer. Furthermore, if it's all year round, it's not necessary to consider it insincere and contrived - just an improvement in life.
Baaaah !
