hehe hehehe hehe... hehe... hoo.

That... that is just like Hank.

he got gout from eating lutefisk; ergo I love Mike Judge

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.)

I'm Canadian. I still gave it a 2. Solid "meh."

Like a plague seeping across the land, the solid black avatar trend has begun to spread.

Now you had to go and change your avatar ddgoec. I feel so abandoned.

And now that he's changed it again, you just seem a little racist. Like you can't see the white background for the black man in the way.

Ooo i know what you're tryna say, you're tryna say it's time for lutefisk it's lutefisk time OOO

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?

Yes... yes I do.

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.

Clearly as a teacher you were supposed to talk to the mentally retarded as though they were in wheelchairs.

and say things twice.

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.

I love you Lord Daftwager?

Mmyes, and I you.

One the one hand, Simon.

On the other, Bombay Sapphire.

Bombay Sapphire wins my ugly mug.

Neither could I.

Man is lordi blatantly ripping off Gwar or is it just me?

At least Gwar's musicianship is, you know, sexcellent.

MEAT - duh da duh da duh da da - SANDWHICH!!

They both admit to ripping off KISS. Still Gwar and Lordi have a little friendly-ish rivalry thing going on.

...mom?

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

I just read that Wikipedia article too.

Lack of citation (plus) Copy-and-paste plagirism = Lame.

Finland Finland
Some words I cannot remember
And a few more
ha-ha-ha-HA!

With all the metal talk, the mention of the balalaika made me think of "Wind of Change"
The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
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.
[IMGS OFF]

Hey, man, I'll have you know Sibelius is pretty balls-out awesome.

The Second Symphony and Valse Triste are great, but I'm amazed at how much he is just plain venerated in Finland.

One composer does not a culture make. (Although I really dig his "New World")

I'd say Sibelius gives Finland a leg up on all the other tiny European countries whose location and language are pretty vague to us.

Too bad he left Finland and studied in Germany, then moved to USA, and never really considered himself a 'Finnish' composer...

Im just sayin' is all.

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.

That sounds about right, Dvorak wrote the New World Symphony for America, right? I think so...

Right, sorry, I am going back to school on Sibelius. I have requested "Sibelius for Dummies" and "Finlandia" from our excellent public library.

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."

Apparently the ruff'n'tumble of the ocean journey inspired the heavy piece that we recognize today as "UHH DUH JAWS THEME"
It's not the same but ol' Antoine did inspire it.

I thought Dvorak was a keyboard?

Is one of few times I am using Doctor of Music part of brain

You mean you never heard of the great Latvian composer, Jimmmi Hendrixxe?

wow. you guys know a lot about finland. i dont know anything clever about finland. aren't finnish girls pretty hot? do they slam?

i was just reading about sibelius in a john le carre book. it is what the unfaithful wife was listening to as she broke the heart of the lovable hero.

dude FUCK sibelius.

You are talking about George Smiley. George Smiley is the greatest character in Cold War or Espionage history.

He was also fond of Shostakovich and Mahler. Poor little fucker had amazing taste.

Hey, History != fiction.

That is unless you really, really like the opening of Braveheart.

Or like the idea that Thermolylae was fought by the Celts and the Orcs.

a far second to Belgium\ when going abroad

Thank you, Contractual Obligations!

... Finland is a nice place. It has attractive women, and the music is actually good. Also it is very non-religious, which is a definite plus. Also it has a very high suicide rate, which is a definite plus except for the world needing less of non-Finnish people to balance it out.

One can only wonder what horrors would have unfolded had the Finnish government decided to produce that automobile.

It would look like a cross between a zeppelin and a tank.

It's because we've stopped drinking tea. I drink 20 cups a day, I could beat up a small Eastern European splinter state, piece of piss.

I had a sociology professor in college who was Finnish and used Led Zeppelin lyrics to try to illustrate the difference between "the people" and "the system". It was a dreadful class.

Guitar stores all over the world now post "NO STAIRWAY" signs, and this is a big part of the reason why.

Oh, don't get me wrong: Maximus's comment was HILARIOUS (duly chubbied.) I was thinking about a college course featuring similar content.

What was your afternoon class, "How to Slide a Beer Mug All the Way Down the Bar and Make It Stop at the Right Place"?

Ray should totally make that next week's Super School lesson.

Finnish do come from the land of ice and snow, from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. So you know, its in their blood.

Aiiiiiiieeeeiiiiiiaaaaaaaah!
Hammer of the Gods!

I guess that would explain Richard Branson.

Nah, nothing an explain Richard Branson. He is like a pickle derived black hole of money and Virgins.

Low humor rules! Chub 4 u!

My favorite is to say "this has been worn off."

Saw a great t-shirt once that had a red arrow pointing up; underneath the arrow was printed "I'm not bald - that's a solar panel for a sex machine"

I cut my own hair. So I get to spend all of my not spent haircut money on paprika.

The best part about cutting your own hair is that the haircut actually gets cheaper every time you do it. If my $24.95 electric razor lasts 10 years, and I cut my hair every two weeks, that means each haircut will cost 9.6 cents.

Let me tell you, calculating the tip is complicated.

Hahaha... haircuts! I remember haircuts! They're what I used to have before I became a penniless uni student.

Gormster has just been made Flazisismuss's bitch

"i'm not bald, i'm just to tall for my hair"

so good so funny

so lol

This man apparently believes that barbers should not make much money

You go ahead and you scream.

Assetbar claims us in our pride.

Chubby for the huge Pictures for Sad Children Reference out of nowhere.

Actually it was MST3K. But thanks!

I have suspicions that PfSC was referencing MST3K.

Onstad took Finland to school in the car of pain

Are you sure that reference was necessary?

Are you sure that it... wasn't?

I am.

Seconded.

I disagree.

You mean the disagreement that I... boned?

Yeah, unnecessary references are just annoying.

Hearing you say that is the saddest thing.

WHY FIND OUT?

I would not talk to him again.

Why even I read these comments is permanent mystery.

I have known since I was twelve.

Dear lord spare me from those awful unnecessary references.

SHUT UP! Shut up, all of you! God, I've never wanted to read a comment thread less in my life!

This thread is so poorly conveyed.

Phillippe is standing on it.

I made a ripoff of this with 'clits' but my linux boxrefuses to upload to photobucket

I don't think he necessarily considers xenophobia rad, just one of those guilty "sometimes" pleasures, like reading Chick tracts or having two slices of pie: something that should not be indulged in often, but when done, should be cherished.

I don't know why you aren't ascending a giant chubby to heaven. This is hilarious.

I am glad that this reference has been made more than once on AssetBar. You guys are pretty alright.

Hey, c'mon, give Finland a break...please?
[IMGS OFF]

Having listened to that album many times I can conclusively say that it FUCKING TEARS!

Hey achilleselbow, have you heard their new album? It also is adept at tearing.

As much as I hate to be one of those "their old stuff was better" dudes, I kinda stopped following them after Hate Crew Deathroll. I liked the copious keyboards and Mozart riffs better than the chug-chug heavy badass thing they adopted to break into the American market. It does still beat the crap out of almost everything else though.

Man I just couldn't disagree more with this strip. Norther, Stratovarius, Amorphis, Sentenced, Nightwish...I'm guessing about one third of my music collection is from Finland. (The other two thirds are from Sweden and Norway)

So is it safe to say that heavy metal is not over, and that people have not stopped doing that?

Heavy Metal is not over, and people have not stopped doing that.

\m/

Same with swing music, right!?

The Squirrel Nut Zippers and Cherry Poppin' Daddies are still popular somewhere, right?

Yeah!

No? I'm still a freak? Oh...ok.

I like them, swing is fun music to listen to.
Another great old music style that has seen revival in the last decade or two is Rockabilly. A new form, Psychobilly, has evolved, combining Rockabilly with some aspects of Punk for a great new style.

...the Cherry-Poppin' hoarseness of the Bosstones with the firm Maverick hold of Dapper Dan!

NEKROMANTIX!
OS CATALEPTICOS!
KOFFIN KATS!
THE REVEREND HORTON HEAT!!!!!!!!!

Interestingly, I write Swing Metal.

I'm not joking. It works....sorta.

Onstad has to mock the genres of Metal and Rap because he likes the Cure and he feels pretty bad about it.

I...I think I love you, achilles...

A girl who is impressed by my encyclopedic knowledge of metal? Where were you during my high school years?

I just got some deja vu here, and checked back to a couple of weeks ago, seems you and I had this same conversation in reverse, but about Maiden. I did have an actual pic of me up for that weekend, though.

Yea I was gonna bring that up, but I didn't wanna be creepy. Uh... not that you're creepy... I didn't mean... um... hey, do you like At the Gates?

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.

A cat and a unicorn have prompted Achilleselbow to reconsider the morality of bestiality.

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.

In July!

Impossible! Meaningless!

if meeting nerdy dudes who like DragonForce makes you all weak in the knees, I recommend a place you should really check out.

It is called... the internet

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.

'88. After Operation Mindcrime.

let's be honest, that one Dream Theater album was pretty sick.

But just the one.

Oh Jesus, someone else bought that album? I thought the 'ryche (not even trying the special characters) would never show up here. Good god, I thought the reason I can't pleasure a woman was because I owned this,, when it turns out women THEMSELVES all listen to this album (true for the given sample size).

I... I need to think about this a little while. I need to take stock.

Add a couple of go go dancers in crocheted mu mus and you might just win yourself the Eurovision song contest!

I speak fluent English, therefore I can't possibly write decent heavy metal lyrics.

THE BASTARD LORD SPRUNG!
THROUGH THE WEDDING GATES!
AND TANGLED UP THE ANCHOR!
SEAWEED WOULD BE ITS FATE!

This fits perfectly to the rhythm of "Devil Went Down To Georgia". I can even hear the fiddles.

Don't forget Poland.

[IMGS OFF]

My. That's quite....erm...

who could forget Poland?
[IMGS OFF]

Where did my picture go?

Let's not forget the mighty Finntroll (beware: music autoplays when site loads), kings of troll-themed polka-metal. That they aren't the only troll metal(beware: myspace!) band from Finland is reason enough to love the place!

Weak will die and land will all be burned
Musta-Krakish king and death to worlds.

I command you to
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise,
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise,
And awaken.

How 'bout some songs about, you know, cars, girls, beer, trains? The major themes? Would it KILL these fellas to lighten up a little?

They may be a cartoon death metal band singing about coffee, but it does not stop that solo from being 10 kinds of wicked.

"Underwater friends" remains my favourite

Underwater friends
You are my underwater underwater friends
Yeah, you're my best friends
now let's all cheer
YOU GOTTA COME DOWN HERE
ONCE A YEAR!
Yeah, I'll live in liquid oxygen
And drink my own pee
It tastes like coffee
'Cause I had some effen' coffee before
I comes down here, to say,
Underwater, Underwater, Underwater Friends...

Your icon speaks to me.

RAINBOWS UNITE!

Songs about trains are my favourite.

Also: MURDER on trains.
It's a mystery!

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.

He piloted this song in a plane like that one.
She is selling faith on the go tell crusade.
Locomotive 8, southern crescent, hear the bells ring again.
Field of wheat is looking thin

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

Yes yes yes, shit dude I just had this exact same thought.

This is one of my favorites. Also very nice.

I'd give you a chubby for this, but if I did it would just be because I wanted to point out how much I love this song. So I'll just say it.

I love this song!

Enfilade, by At the Drive-In

"hello?"
"Hello, mother leopard. I have your cub. You must protect her, but that will be expensive. 10,000 cola nuts, wrapped in brown paper. Midnight, behind the box. I'll be the hyena, you'll see."

This could last us all a lifetime
Limbs intact, untouched
On the screen of a video tape
Confined to bedposts
We wait as lepers
Upheld at knife's reach
We covet all the status quo
This syringe will take a lifespan
It's filled with bait and tackle
Try and catch us if you can

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

RECOMMENDATION: do not image search "orgasmatron" at work. Safe Search can only do so much to protect you.

I am the one!

There can be only ONE!

Orgasmatron? was that the techno artist that Jez almost sucked off in that peep show episode?

Let me just take this opportunity to THANK all of Assetland for introducing me to 'Peep Show'. I acquired it from an intertube, and the wife and I digg it hard core.
You have filled us with joy, and for that, VIrtual Chubbies for all!
(Real chubby to comrade_tom for giving me this chance to speak)

It is a delightful show!

It is the most funny show, played on the happiest screen.

Peep Show is the swellest of programming. I might almost go as far as to say that I prefer it to That Mitchell and Webb Look, their other work. And the first season of that was purest genius.

Correction: Mitchell and Webb do not write Peep Show. I know, I was sad too.

Very nice.

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.

Awaken

The banana sticker!

That episode totally made me go out and try to find banana stickers. I TOTALLY want one.

Wasn't it the frist Velvet Underground album that had a banana sticker on the cover? Or was that the Stones? God, the '60s are such a blur.

Velvet Underground

"Peel Slowly and See," the cover read.

Hey, that's the guy that knocked out my DSL.

I saw Bodom two nights ago, and my ears are still fucking ringing. Finland rocks!

Just so you know, that damage to your ears is permanent and progressive.

Thank you, resident Old Guy, for the sound advice.

i'm going to assume the double entendre was intended, and take my hat off to you...

It was, it was!

Eh? What's that you say, young lady? Sorry, been to too many rock and roll concerts, he-he.

What I love about those concerts is that everyone is wearing earplugs, including the band and sound guys. If they just pulled the level down 20dB everyone could pull them out and the concert would sound much better.

But yeah, seriously, two days is too long for your ears to be ringing. You've done serious, irreparable damage.

I am never wearing the earplugs. I take my ear damage like a man.

I don't wear earplugs either. If I have to, I will turn my hearing aids off, which probably serves pretty much the same purpose as earplugs.

I can actually see the ball he's holding.

That would be pretty advanced for Finns to even have a postage stamp in 1833, considering that stanps weren't actually invented until a few years later.

poor punctuation and I'm fairly certain there's poor grammar in there. Good-night.

You should have left it alone, if Roast Beef had ever said such a thing you would have been quoting him.

damn there must be a lot of finnish achewood readers huh

I'm guessing there is a lot of overlap between fans of that type of metal that murders it's own bassist and preserves the body in the trunk and Achewood.

Seriously though guys it is silly to like KyysvAr Tyruuk Deathpromotion.

Please don't have made that up.

Euronymous. Dead. Mayhem.

And off to Google you go.

(Not exactly Finland, however.)

Also, Dead was actually a Swede (he just played in a Norwegian band).

Scandinavians: they're equal-opportunity nihilists.

No, Donny, these men are nihilists, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Their new vacation destination advertisement slogan? I hope so.

Haha, I never noticed that "TREE < LION = KENYA WINS" bit before.

funny loop.

I wikied the last time they came up in the comments.

Quite...erm...

Bonus points for using actual pictures from the death on the bootleg!

Onstad should really be making fun of Norway.

[IMGS OFF]

where did my picture go!? WHAT IS HAPPENING. i hate this. it makes me look like a huge nerd.

He's totally ready to LARP.

That would be fun except that Varg Vikernes will stop at nothing to kill you.

True. Also: Christians.

I just read the wikipedia article about this Vikernes creep, and all I can say is, "Wow. He sucks." I hope his time in prison has involved him being sodomized with that stick-thing he's holding. He's earned it.

Are you saying that you disagree that brown eyes are a sign of impure racial stock, benfromtenn. Is that what you are saying.

(n.b. MY eyes are brown!)

Read Lords Of Chaos for the full story on this black metal craziness. These are the kids who actually DID much of the garbage maladjusted teenagers talk about doing.

Ahhh, everyone loves a Carpathian!

...There are many many perks that come with being the mother of a living god...

Can someone ever be totally ready to LARP? Some LARPers do (whatever they do) in the trees by my flat on sundays and they seem to take a long time to get ready.

If by special you mean the 1936 olympics....thats the sporting event i tend to think when i see a skinhead bloke with a german eagle on his shirt....

Sometimes Metal is silly. Yet it dominates.

I think everyone should check out Infernal Combustion, a Metal parody site now tragically defunct. Had to get on the Wayback machine to find it, but here's the link:

The Finnish had a sniper with over a 1000 kills...
Hard core DoD player there.. ^^
[IMGS OFF]
He is the white death - not the other guys. He got 1000 [plus] kills.

Never heard of Nokia?

Five hundred-something confirmed kills, seven hundred something approximated including the use of other weapons.

Also - the guy on the left looks like his face was copypasted on..

God damn...it didn't show up the first time I posted. Assetbar has gone from simply thwarting our posts to deliberate trickeru. I suspect pretty soon it will start changing our icons to goatse and inserting "penis" at random intervals in long posts.

Or worse.. maps of nordic nations.. (which look like penis.. obviously)

It looks like that thing that I heard some S&M guys do where they basically get their penis split down the middle lengthwise.

Now imagine it vividly.

Extreme scarification. I for real saw a picture of this in a book called 'Modern Primitives' about a decade ago.

That's called Metotomy (spelling?). Except there's more... activity involved. I'm sorry I know this.

I am sure mira has some pictures for us so we don't have to imagine.

Oo!! I like your spinny color wheel.

I preferred the hot girl, to be honest, but then I am of Low Mind.

Shhh my plans are that my spinning palette will hypnotize everyone into forgetting that I posted a picture of myself on the internet.

If you look at it long enough you can make it go the other way, too. Optics!

I like yours too. We both kind of have some sort of spinning going on.

the green says...

mooooooooooooooo!

hey penis mutilation what kind of freak do you think I am? penis mutilation is gross

Why bother imagining it? You can find the videos online if you want to see that shit.

Don't though. Don't want that.

now that is an idea for an animated avitar

ugh...am I ever going to be able to eat kielbasa again? Thanks achilleselbox.

aaaaaAAA!!!! why?

I'm sure the trickeru is haphazard, elbox.

DERIBERAATUUUU TORICKARUUUUU.

I'm not razzing you for a typo, by the way. Who would do that?

Crap. Was I a cock to a stranger? It was all meant affectionately.

Where's that guy with the Chairman avariconifacehand? He would be the absolute perfect person to chide you

Don't worry, talix18. I hadn't even seen your post when I posted mine.

It's all good. Actually, I was giving him a bit of a ribbing, but (ironically) because of someone else's typo. He warned me not to make it a thing and I did not heed the warning. That he ignored my poke instead of reacting took all the fun out of it, and I have since slunk chastened back to my corner.

I would have, but then I couldn't decide whether to respond to you or i_love_kate so I just decided to do neither. I guess achilleselbox is a Thing now, which is ok, I mean remember what Oscar Wilde said about being talked about...

I hide my handface in shame.

And didn't they have like a 10 to 1 dissadvantage against the Russians? And inferior tanks?

My mother in law is Finnish so my father in law is always making fun of Fins. He says they ate the Russians.

Actually more like 200 to 1. Stats for Winter War:

Finland USSR
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.

Meh, stupid auto-edit.

Yea we basically sucked.

Please clarify for me who the "we" in that sentence refers to.

Erm, the Russians. I was born there. I suppose that's far from being obvious, though.

It was not obvious to me, and I feel relieved. Thank you.

If it makes you feel any better, Shostakovich still rules all over Sibelius.

I am sorry that my people on skis beat the shit out of your people in tanks.

(inside: but not that sorry because Russia has kind of been a dick to Finland over the years anyway)

Sorry but I have to go dream about tridents now.
