OT 19/3: Closed for Renovations

[LightningStrikes]

I was meant to start my driving school today but there was no one there when I went looking. Now trying to figure out who ****ed up.

Whew, read "drinking school" at first. And it's only Tuesday...

I don't need a school for that.

Do they really have drinking schools in Finland? You guys know how to party. Damn!

Well there's this feast in mid summer, which I have no idea where it has come from, but it's pretty much used as an excuse for drinking. It's "celebrated" in Sweden and in some other Nordic countries too I think.

And if you ever visit Finland, make sure to try some of our very fun activities like wife carrying.

Wife Carrying? Hmmm that def sounds interesting. Do you ever get to the states? In the U.S. we make every day an excuse to drink.

It's not like the Finns have ever needed any excuses either.

Haha that's freaking awesome!




I love how they put the numbers on the women upside down so you can read them when they carry them.

That's not the only weird sport up here; boot throwing is also popular in Finland and we annually hold the mobile phone throwing World Championships.

They look awfully close together for Finns....

You live in Alaska too? You are aware of the Alaskan Indian-Eskimo Olympics?

Yeah, I know it. You must be a real threat in the muktuk eating contest.

Yes, but there is another event that I excel at. It is called the ear pull. It is an event where two contestants pull each others' ears while enduring the harsh cold. It tests physical as well as spiritual strength.

You wanna pull each other's ears?

 

[JoVel]

I like that title.

There's no crows in my family tree.

I would like to meet the people who came up with those ideas but **** like that isn't that weird when you consider Finland is pretty much the Japan of Europe.

Also, props for the thread title.

 

[Meuracas]

I like that title.

I came to read the preseason GDTs and had to scroll back up, had this weird feeling one of the titles was all wrong in a good kind of way...

On a sidenote, how's the Tampa Bay area after all the storms and whatnot?

 

[LightningStrikes]

So erm about Hurricane Maria huh?

2 Earthquakes and 4 Major Hurricanes within a couple of months. Is this the beginning of the Apocalypse?

NHC has the track going north in the next day or two. I'm not too concerned about FL.

Multiple hurricanes isn't actually too bad. Most of everything that would break in a hurricane would have already done so.

Yeah Florida should be fine, but could hit us in NY here. We had little rain and some wind from Jose, this storm is much bigger I believe, so will cover more ground.

Had the same thought. Severe earthquakes, several major hurricanes (two cat 5) in a row... 2005 was rough but 2017 is pretty bad too already.

My kids just did the Terry Fox run at school so this seems appropriate.

So who is getting that new SNES Classic edition?

Well either overpay for it on EBay or stand in line for hours next Friday. Lol.

I think Nintendo has done more to promote the Raspberry Pi than anyone.
