Recalled/Assigned: Saku Mäenalanen

[Unsustainable]

Win this for the Finns

 

[AD Skinner]

Man-alan-en; say man like you're aggravated at the man, and you're close enough.

Always stress the first syllable with the Finns. TERavainen, not teraVAINen.

This makes me visualize Alan Richman like spilling a pitcher or something and like Owen Wilson or somebody is like "Mannnn, Alan!" And of course Alan Rickman is completely over it

I'm just going to start calling all of our Finns Perkelainen.

This would be more correct and true than you can even fathom.

At least his name isn't Michael Bolton.

I thought Maenalanen looked ok last night. In fact, if Bishop can play like that every game, the fourth line will be a strength.

Which one?

 

[Highway29]

I can't even.. say his name.

Is Saku a very common name in Finland? Does it equate to the frequency of the names John or Jeff in America. I feel like i encounter at least one person on a daily basis with either of those names.

No. Quite averagely used. Not that much lately.

The popularity is held back I guess because of a still-happening 1950's children's song about Saku the Frog's wooing trip. He's going to propose Helvig the Mouse, but is too late as Helvig is already being married off to Matthew the Mole. Saku protests as Matthew has mouldy toes. In the end the feeble nature of womanhood sees both of the prospective wooers blown off, as Helvig marries Hank the Bush-cricket in the end, the swanky bastard with a violin.

You do not want any of this for your child.

I have always been quite the bush cricket.

I wasn't attempting to force a user name change or anything, I swear.

**** me. The translateschlager strikes again, unawares.

My Canes association is taking my everything.

That's Finnish music in the nutshell btw. The original is a country song but for our markets you still need to amp up the misery a couple of notches.

She didn't take the froggie nor the flea,
Miss Mousie ditched off with the bumblebee, uh huh

(For further info, suggested listening: Amorphis: Better Unborn; My Kantele)

Nightwish is my favorite band. Finns definitely make some good music

Also, Saku is Estonia's gift to the beer world, known well enough also on the north side of the bay.
