So then this happened, and I knew my decision of last night was the right one.

So there I was, putting off the inevitable moment when I had to have a shower, which would involve taking off my three layers of clothes and exposing my vulnerable fleshy bits to the COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD. I was reading my flist, for although I am trying to wean myself off LJ, most of my friends are still there, so I'm still reading and commenting there.

I followed a link from rj_anderson's LJ to claudiagray's. I opened the link in another tab, as is my custom, and instead of going to claudiagray's LJ, I was sent to ... well, I don't read Russian, but it looked like this:





So, yeah.

(There was nothing hidden under the screenshot dialogue, as far as I can recall.)

I'd been hearing about redirects happening again, but not quite like this? I have a basic account with AdBlock enabled.

This only happened once; the second time, I went to the right page. But still: LJ need to maybe look into being less fail.

That is... special.

Did you ever manage to get to the right link? Or have you been trapped in Mother Russia ever since?

[lizbee]

I did! And it was a lovely interview, but I have to ask an irrelevant question that has nagged at me ever since I read The Babysitter's Club: what in the name of squid is Candy Land? Is it a board game? Does it involve candy?

[jonquil]

It's a boardgame. It involves candy, but it is imaginary candy. It's a very simple board game, suitable for being age 5. You throw dice (maybe spin a spinner?) and move around a board.

It's a board game, as Jonquil said, for the wee small ones. Just the phrase "Gumdrop Mountain" brings back some old childhood memories.
