Hi, Blower, nice to see some more horn players around here. Joculator holds the record with being able to play every single wind instrument invented by man, plus two more destined to be invented within the next century or so. Me, I stick with pretending to play the saxophone. Sadly, since I moved into my thin-walled apartment, I haven't been able to play that much.

Nocomply, great to have more Scandinavians in here! I'm guessing you're not getting much skateboarding done if the fjords are all frozen, eh?

Welcome, both of you, and everyone else I've forgotten to greet. :-D

Thin-walled apartment, KK? This may seem like the comparison to us Brits having carpeted bathrooms (Woe is me -thread), but don't ALL Scandinavians live in long-houses, built out of whole forests? Or is that just racial stereotyping?


I want to die peacefully in my sleep, just like grandpa. Not screaming and panicking like his passengers.

Why of course they do, and they all have saunas and go running around naked in the snow and get married to reindeer

Thin walls? By Oden, my longhouse doesn't even have internal walls! I mean, I can't even have a mushroom induced berserk rage without waking up the 30 man strong horde living under the same roof. Not to mention the nights when one of the cows has digestive problems. Tor's hammer!

How many times do I have to say this, saunas are a Finnish tradition!

Meh, Finland is almost Scandinavia, don't be picky ! Besides, anyone know racial stereotypes have to be slightly wrong or they wouldn't be any fun !

I always thought Lapland was in there somewhere as well, but that's geography for you!

Lapland is in Finland, if I'm not mistaken. It's where Santa lives, which is undoubtedly why KK is a jealous Swedish bastard.

yes, Lapland is in Finland. It is also in Sweden. And in Norway. And in Russia. Lapland and Scandinavia is not the same thing.

I thought Santa lived in the north pole?

Postcount pushiiing! Er... I meant... welcome to all the newbits! I hope being greeted by a Viking, an evil monkey, and a sinister Mona Lisa -not to speak of evil clowns and bunnies- does not scare you away.

Evil clowns?!?!?! Hey! That's my friendly face. I thought it highlighted my caring nature and sensitive personality.

This is my evil face...
