Quick tip - Take the Sofa

(note: if you are reading this in an RSS reader, you probably won't be able to see the pinyin tooltips, in which case you should click on the link to the original post.)

Here's a good one for bloggers:

抢沙发: take the sofa

meaning to be the first one to comment on a blog entry!

second commenter gets the 板凳： stool
while third place has to make do with the 地板： floor

Nice analogy eh?

那么，谁来抢沙发呢？

Thanks to Remy for this one!
