Finntroll means "Troll from Finland" or "a spotty troll" since the word for spot (acne) and a Finnish person are the same in Swedish.

Vladimir Putin commissions big study to determine Chinese threat to mother Russia. "What will the situation on Chinese-Russian border look like in 50 years?", he asks. "Will the situation be tense?"
"We are not sure about condition of Russian-Chinese border", says head of commission. "But Finnish-Chinese border will be very quiet".

Like a stormwind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say
Take me to the midgic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Because Scorpions are what I think of when someone says metal. I don't know why.

I think you and pogo are talking about Dvorak. Sibelius was a proud Finn and was a real catalyst for nationalism, but was a little intimidated by his own reputation and it made it harder for him to compose as he got older.

Well... Dvorak wrote Symphony #9 "From the New World" after being inspired on trip to... Iowa, of all places. Despite its title, however, the melodic and harmonic material of the symphony is very Slavic in nature. If anything, it's a homesickness piece: Dvorak recalling fond slavic memories and writing the piece FOR his Slav homeland "from the New World."

At the Gates...to quote a friend of mine who, I think, puts it best -so good they broke up because they couldn't make a better record!- I'm listening to Manowar at this very moment. Oooo, you like DragonForce! I...I need to go lie down for a bit.

Dude, At the Gates got back together for a summer tour! (no new album though unfortunately) I'm seeing them at Irving Plaza with Darkest Hour in July and you should definitely go see them wherever it is that you happen to be.

Erm, for anyone else that happens to read this, the supporting band's name is "Darkest Hour," not "Darkest Hour in July," which is probably the name of an emo band somewhere.

I really, really wish that I did not hate Nightwish so much. It makes it hard for me to spend time with a lot of my friends. They're going "Ooooooh listen to this track, it's beautiful! It's like they wrote it for meeeeee!" and I'm sitting there thinking "I thought self indulgent operatic rock died out in 86?". I can't bring myself to lie to them, and I can't tell them what I really think. It just ends with me sitting there in steely silence which is actually kind of worse than the other two options.
I was sad to hear about the Stratovarius split though. Not really my scene but they did some pretty decent stuff.

Anything sounds metal when you yell it loudly and angrily.
THEN THE GHOST OF HELEN KELLER!
GRABBED ANNE SULLIVAN BY THE WRIST!
NO LONGER BLIND AND DEAF AND DUMB!
SHE WAS BACK, AND SHE WAS PISSED!
"YOU HELPED ME TO COMMUNICATE!
AND FOR THAT MY FAMILY PAID!
IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO HELP ME OUT!
WHY COULDN'T YOU GET ME LAID!"
This is quickly going downhill, the last two lines are only there because I had to make something rhyme with line 6, and I was too lazy to go back and change it. The ghost of Helen Keller seemed like a good topic at first, but didn't work out as well as planned.

Driver 8, by R.E.M.
The walls are built up, stone by stone,
The fields divided one by one.
And the train conductor says
take a break driver 8, driver 8 take a break
Weve been on this shift too long
And the train conductor says
take a break driver 8, driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but were still a ways away
I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes wont get snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing
And the train conductor says
take a break driver 8, driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but were still a ways away
Way to shield the hated heat.
Way to put myself to sleep.
Way to shield the hated heat.
Way to put myself, my children to sleep.

Song about a train ? OK.
Motorhead, Ridin' With The Driver
Iron child out of Vulcans forge, metal scream and thrash
Red steel in the driving wheel, hear the pistons clash
Dragon breathin' big black smoke, howlin' up the tracks
[Chorus]
I'm ridin' on the Thunderchief, spit in the devil's eye
No force on earth can stop me now
Like to see 'em try
Hey, hey ridin' with the Driver
Juggernaut comin' down the line, hear the banshee cry
Engineer like to lose his mind. glory in his eye
Too fast to live this way, too young to die
[Repeat chorus]
Hold tight, feel the drivers bite, hear the whistle moan
Engine rockin' to the left and right, vibratin' in my bones
Once the locomotive steals your soul, you got a Casey Jones
[Chorus]
I'm ridin' on the Thunderchief, spit in the devil's eye
No force on earth can hurt me now, kiss your ass goodbye
My my, ridin' with the Driver

Johnny Cash:
Dead on the rail was a passenger train blood was a boilin' in Casey's brain
Casey said hey now look out ahead jump Sam jump or we'll all be dead
With a hand on a whistle and a hand on a brake north Mississippi was wide awake
I see railroad official said he's a good engineer to be a laying dead
And of course the great Jethro Tull (The band not the agricultural pioneer. BTW am I the only person who thinks "seed drill" sounds a bit dirty?):
In the shuffling madness
of the locomotive breath,
runs the all-time loser,
headlong to his death.
He feels the piston scraping --
steam breaking on his brow --
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going --
no way to slow down.

250,000 men 1,000,000 men
30 tanks 6,541 tanks
130 aircraft 3,800 aircraft
26,662 dead 126,875 dead or missing
39,886 wounded 264,908 wounded
1,000 captured 5,600 captured
2,268 tanks captured
In USSR's army's defense, Stalin made some VERY bad tactical decisions on the Finnish front. For example, because of Stalin's xenophobic paranoia, the troops largely originated from southern parts of Russia, and were thus completely unprepared for the harsh winter conditions.

You know, the first time I saw The Princess Bride I was in high school and had just been studying WWII. I heard that line and thought it did, in fact, refer to Germany's defeat in the USSR, because the USSR is technically in Asia? And Hitler was so foolish to think he could defeat the hardy Soviets in their own wickedly-cold country. I realized my mistake upon a repeat viewing.
I also never considered the fact that we LOST in Vietnam until it was spelled out by John Cleese in A Fish Called Wanda. I mean, they really did whip our butts!
I generally get most of my knowledge through movies. It's worked out pretty good so far.

An actor in a comedy is not the best place to learn history, grasshopper. If we lost in Vietnam, then why is it an open, capitalist country today instead of a communist shit hole?

The Americans undoubtebly lost in Nam, saigon fell to northern forces, the huge exodus of boat people, the whole ho chi minh city thing. However following the collapse of communism in the USSR vietnam stopped receiving aid from Russia (which is why the vietnamese hate Russia far more than the Americans or the French, sure the Americans bombed them, but the Russians stopped coughing up, far worse when you're dealing with the 3rd world) as a result the economy had to be liberalised, basically its not America's victory, it's the communist bloc's blunder that means vietnam is essentially capitalistic.

I think that they are, to an extent. The U.S.A. would not have lost if the partisan forces in Vietnam were not so strong. Similarly, market reforms would not have much success if the peoples didn't support it.

Vietnam is still communist, at least on paper. Yes capitalism is now finally beginning to win out but American forces and the French before them lost the military war.

True, but that doesn't mean it was "big", necessarily. The voting turn-outs go up every year about, because the population continues to grow. Thus, exponentially, the youth vote would also increase. It still only made up 12 percent of the West Virginia block, and similar stats nationwide. No doubt Obama IS increasing these numbers, but...I don't know, I'm a hard case. They should be increased more.
I just am easily spurred when some girl can tell me which band out of millions she prefers, and take hours and hours out of her day studying up on guitar-pickers, but couldn't possibly just come to a conclusion about three candidates.

It makes my blood boil when I hear the experts discussing the all-important "working-class white vote" and dismissing the fact that Obama has overwhelming support among blacks and people with a college education, as if they were third-class citizens and will vote for whatever crap candidate we give them as long as he or she promises to think for a few seconds longer than McCain before launching another war. They couldn't be more wrong - I've had so many arguments with peers who've insisted on not voting because "they're all the same" and would actually vote for the first time if Obama were on the ballot. I don't think any of them would be stupid enough to vote for McCain in protest, but it's very likely that a lot of the youth would stay home if Hilary manages to fanagle a win.

I am interested in fjords. Will there be any good fjords to visit if I go to Finland? How accessible are the fjords in Finland, if any? Are there any good resources for locating Finnish fjords online? Is there an email service I can sign up for that will notify me of new fjords every ten million years? Is it possible for me to ride a shark through the fjords while someone behind me plays Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song?" Is there ever a machine that is a chair that you sit in and a shotgun is placed in your mouth and the shotgun dribbles mints down your throat, but every time someone purchases a NUON, the shotgun blows your head off? If there was, I'd totally sit in it, because it'd be the safest place on the planet since you're never gonna move unit one of these NUONs. This crazy thing is terrible.

Is there ever a machine that is a chair that you sit in and a shotgun is placed in your mouth and the shotgun dribbles mints down your throat, but every time someone purchases a NUON, the shotgun blows your head off? If there was, I'd totally sit in it, because it'd be the safest place on the planet since you're never gonna move unit one of these NUONs. This crazy thing is terrible.

Yeah, it kind of saddened me, too. I didn't particularly like his jibe at England , either, and I'm not particularly patriotic.
I don't even know why I like Finland! I guess it's because I've heard a bit of Finnish electro-pop, which I liked.

I'm a Brit, and "One for the Brits" is one of my favourite strips. Onstad's visited the UK, has a fairly solid understanding of its main quirks and seems overall to be a bit of an Anglophile. But does he know shit about Finland? I don't know, man, I don't know.

This sort of outdated thing eats at me because I am in Oklahoma, which is called the South for some reason. Despite being terribly near the exact center of the country. Using the Mississippi river as the west coast hasn't been true since we won Louisiana by defeating Napolean in a wrestling match in 1677, so why should we use the terminology today?

We mostly fought for the South in the Civil war. Okie flats was settled by southerners. The drawl is southern. The women have the same hair as the stewardess a few days ago. Southern social standards suffuse the state, and we inherited Southern Baptist religion. We aren't Deep South, but Oklahoma is far more southern than anything else.

Oh man, I ain't talking about being culturally Southern. I knew people in college who were from towns only an hour out of Chicago that had drawls, style/automobile preferences and casual racial prejudices normally associated with the South. I'm strictly talking geography here: as you would say, more the Deep South. Hell people in Montana can be very Southern, but that doesn't mean we should call it part of the South.
I suppose I'm thinking historically here, the original South, old South, Deep South, etc. What was always called the South before Manifest Destiny, etc. Basically, states with SEC teams in them (and North Carolina/Virginia).

We're socially, geographically, and (once we got settled) historically, Southern. There isn't much else that can really dictate being southern. The fact that we weren't really populated by honkies when the other honkies were complaining about the north doesn't really detract from being southern.

All good points, I suppose. But that doesn't change the fact that nobody in the real South is ever gonna think of Oklahoma as the South. I live in NC, and they don't even consider the town I live in to be Southern. Oklahoma ain't got a chance in hell.
It's country, for sure, but it ain't Southern. If you touch Kansas, you're in the Midwest . I think that's a rule somewhere.
Incidentally, I feel much better prolonging this really stupid discussion (of which I'm the majority of the stupid) now that a new strip is up.

Anyways, "Shit biscuits" in Swedish in " Sket kexar! " which is just handy to know. I can also say "Happy birthday" and "I love you so hard" but they are very diacritically intense.

Oh man, I have been waiting for just this kind of opportunity to make my first post.
My dad's family is all Finnish, so he grew up speaking Finnish on the family farm in Michigan's upper peninsula and I've learned a number of fun phrases from him.
My utter favorite is "haista napa," which translated directly means "smell my belly button." This has been my favorite swear since I was six years old, and even if Finland had contributed nothing else to the world I would be satisfied with just this.
Also, the appropriate comeback is supposedly "paska housu," or "shitty pants."
And now I just learned that "Paskahousu" is also a popular card came in Finland. Thanks Wikipedia!

*wishes he could dress like Tom Baker*
When I was in highschool, I looked up the yarn "recipe" for the Tom Baker scarf, hoping that my mom would knit a replica for me. It contained truckloads of yarn (some of them quite expensive). I never got that scarf. Probably better off. (even without it, I didn't do any bonin')

Well I do like the Molly/Roast Beef interactions, but remember there was a couple of years before she even came into the picture, and I had no problem with the lack of female characters then. In fact one could say that the addition of Molly was a big factor in what made Achewood more story arc-driven (or vice versa). I just have a lot of nostalgia for the absurd non-sequitur strips (though it's backwards nostalgia since I only started reading last year). And I think a large part of what enabled that was that it was just a bunch of screwed up guys with no women in their lives.
I'm trying to figure out whether the addition of main female characters (except for mothers and such) always has to bring some kind of romantic element into the picture and make it more "real" in a sense. For example, Beavis & Butthead wouldve been totally destroyed if they tried to do that, but they did have Daria - do you think she was three-dimensional or was she just kind of a straight man (woman)?

As one who has lived past the screwed-up-male-roommates stage, I can tell you that the bonding of male friends continues and even deepens after marriages, divorces, and kids. There's something about guys that demands they run in little packs and tussle for alpha status and stick together through thick and thin. That viewpoint is what makes Achewood tick.

Maybe you didn't, but for those of us whose gender is disproportionately underrepresented when it comes to protagonists or believable characters, it may have been more noticeable. I don't need female characters to be romantic. If Ray's and Philippe's moms were actual characters, I'd be totally down with that.
How often do "screwed up guys with no women in their lives" literally have ZERO women in their lives? No neighbors, no friends, no bosses, no unrequited crush? Even if you and all your friends are without girlfriends, the reality is that you still interact with and have relationships with women all the time, because women make up half the population. You can't avoid us! We are inextricably tied up in your lives! Portraying a world without women is at best inaccurate.
I've watched, like, three episodes of Daria. All I know about her is that she has a friend who dyed tiger stripes into her hair.
Anyway, I'm glad I'm making this comment two days late. I'll probably still get lamed for it, as I do whenever I start getting uppity about wimmin's issues.
I had no problem with the lack of female characters then
Maybe you didn't, but for those of us whose gender is disproportionately underrepresented when it comes to protagonists or believable characters, it may have been more noticeable. I don't need female characters to be romantic. If Ray's and Philippe's moms were actual characters, I'd be totally down with that.
How often do "screwed up guys with no women in their lives" literally have ZERO women in their lives? No neighbors, no friends, no bosses, no unrequited crush? Even if you and all your friends are without girlfriends, the reality is that you still interact with and have relationships with women all the time, because women make up half the population. You can't avoid us! We are inextricably tied up in your lives! Portraying a world without women is at best inaccurate.

Can't say I can disagree with the Bechdal Standard. However, Achewood has a hard enough time retaining the characters that it already has. Even Pat is verging on irrelevance, I can't see Emeril and Spongebath being used in the near future and Lie Bot has been MIA for over a year. The strip is, essentially, about Ray and Beef hanging around and being dudes, dealing with their insecurities, and let's face it, it is far more dialogue than story oriented.

It would be rather difficult to fit another female character into the mix without fundamentally changing Achewood as it currently stands, is all I am saying.

Fair enough, but I wasn't advocating for another female character. I was just saying I didn't want to see Molly go, which she probably would have if Beef had gotten with the peanut-slinger.

I have no problems with Beef bolting on the peanut slinger, but I really wanted to see him be successful. I wanted to see him struggle with having money and being the opposite of in 'circumstances'. What is a rich Beef like?
I bet he would be awesome. Too bad we didn't get to see it.

Which reminds me, we need more Lyle strips. Few things made me happier than seeing Lyle puke on a football right after all the "AWWW" comments on the strip where Beef pops the question.

What an idyllic vision!
Mind you reggae and rap can on occaisions produce enjoyable offspring (plus at its angriest and most bombastic the two share a lot of simmilarities).

Thanks, the vision came to me like a whiff of ganja.
And yes, reggae and rap are releated. The dudes in Jamaica and other islands were doing their "dj" thing long before rap, and many people consider "dj-ing" the origin of rap.

I like how the whole country fought for this stamp and it was somehow rejected by a presumably non-Finnish force, like maybe Russia was just so enraged at the very idea.

If lutefisk is outlawed, only outlaws will have lutefisk.
Outlaws are the only people who deserve lutefisk.

he got gout from eating lutefisk; ergo I love Mike Judge
No, he gets gout from eating at that deli too much (he then is too fat to goto the prom).
Eating lutefisk causes him to burn down the church (which is funny because that's what Norwegian black metallers do and lutefisk is a Nordic dish so wow this has come full circle really).
well let's be fair; it was an accident. he was just trying to get rid of the horrible, horrible smell lutefisk gave him.
I think it was more he didn't want to go to prom in the first place, and when he had his change of heart his legs had become too weak from continuing to eat livermeats and riding around in a Rascal all day.
oh my god, the rascal. And the fun little character he made with his toe bandages!
Oh god yes! Now, what did he name it? That's gonna bug me...
"My name is Madame, I'm here to start ze show..."
For at least a year I've had Bobby shouting "I've got gout!" as my ring tone. (The one he shouts when Connie walks away from him in the school hallway- fans of pedantacy.)

Flight of the Conchors are coming to my school on Friday and I got free tickets. Is this awesome y/n?
Y, Y, A THOUSAND TIMES Y
What the hell, man? The only people that came to my school were there to tell us marijuana was the devil and that you shouldn't pick on the handicapped. Yeah I was surprised anyone needed to be told that second one too.
Point being I hate you.
Being handicapped, I noticed as a child, that they need to be told that MORE.
Limpin' ain't easy.
"Limpin' ain't easy but it's necessary / So I'm chasin' crutches like Tom chases Jerry."
I am originally from El Paso, Texas. El Paso is 90 pervent hispanic. In Mexican culture it is very, very taboo to mess with the handicapped or the sick. Making fun of someone for a disability would get you beat the fuck up.
The city is full of gangsters, many of which would just as soon stab you as look at you, and many passersby wouldn't even care. But these same gangsters and passersby would beat you till they broke their hands if you messed with a disabled person.
When I moved to Nebraska and heard people make fun of the handicapped students I was mortified. That would not stand where I came from.
Quote:
I had leg braces from age 2 to 12. My only regret is that i knew not this phrase. You have retroactively corrected my childhood.
I should have worn mine longer...when I'm tired, I make Verbal Kint look like Devin Hester.
Is it bad that I thought of Robbie Williams?
'Limpin ain't easy, most of them fleece me, every night...'
we had a guy who had severe cerbal palsy..making jokes about it and all drooling at the same time. it was a sad but true.
that's me, without the severe and the drooling. more like "mild" and "tripping over things"
Don't try to blame your debilitating disease for your clumsiness.
Do you think it is rad to be a cock to a stranger, gormster?
Do you think it is rad not to understand irony, featurelessvoid.
I don't understand it's broad appeal, if that counts. Fairly rad?
Do you think it is rad to CEASELESSLY MAKE THESE FORCED JOKES, ALL OF YOU?
Yes... yes I do.
Part of my teacher certification included a special education class that you could test out of taking if you passed a ridiculous multiple choice test about dealing with handicapped people. One of the questions was "T/F--You should talk to every person in a wheelchair as though they are mentally retarded". This is the kind of rigorous testing you have to undergo to be allowed to teach children.
True right?
I would say true, because I do not feel that one should speak differently to the mentally retarded. One should speak to them with respect and courtesy like anyone deserves.
I on the other hand speak to everyone like they are mentally retarded.
Clearly as a teacher you were supposed to talk to the mentally retarded as though they were in wheelchairs.

and say things twice.
The anti-marijuana speaker at our school kept telling us stories about times he smoked pot, and it was AWESOME. And then he'd remember the point of his speech and warn us all about how it might not have been awesome, and, don't do it, because...because.
There was also a weird story where he stole car parts and was chased by the cops and totally got away with it. No one knew what to think.
Dude was high talkin' at you.
That's not hate, norrin. That's envy.
yep. go to the show. i saw it last week and it was straight up blumpity.
Just saw them on Sunday-they boomed the boom. (Kicked ass!)
Unfortunately, some ass-hats behind us talked through the entire fracking show!!
The appropriate response in this situation would be to stab said asshats, not in the face, neck, or torso, where likelihood of stabbing death is high, but a knife to the calf or forearm would get the point across nicely.
hamscout - was this in Milwaukee? On the right end of the theatre near the front?
Except the people next to me only started talking over the show about halfway through, after returning from doing cocaines in the bathroom.
Yes, it was--right side, near the front of the balcony.
Did you mean the balcony? Because I remember them making multiple coca-excursions, as well. And there was a woman with a piercing, horrible laugh, who would exclaim "I love this song!" and proceed to tell everyone in her party when every joke meant.
*stabbity stab stab*
We were on the main floor, not the balcony. The women ruining it for us would sing along for one line of a song and then tell her friends how it reminded her of something that happened to her the other day.
My feelings on loud-mouth coke fiends at Flight of the Conchords concerts are con
The audience Thursday night at Turner Hall for Devotchka and Basia Bulat was much better behaved. Mostly beered and stoned, I guess.
Milwaukee loves Achewood and our resurgent downtown concert venues!
If only I could meet Onstad at the Police concert in July...
...would be most happiest thing...
The web comic nerds that made Milwaukee famous!
oh dood. I scream and drunk singing people until they shut up or try and fight me, then I get the security guys, and they usually don't believe the drunk guy....
fuck letting some ass ruin my times.
I am just furious with jealousy.
That's why they're called lutefisk socks.
oh, if only lutefisk was finnish.
Poor finns.
Yeah, I was thinking it was Norski, but then I wondered if all those Baltic area folks got into dried cod. Course, if they did, they would not call it by the Norweigian name, I guess.
I thought it was Swedish. Damn you, Nothing Nice to Say.
I eat it for Christmas as part of Swedish heritage, they eat it too...quite happy that we started preparing it in a less than fully traditional way since the real deal is fish that has been cured in lye, nasty .
