Or...

Lonestar is asking for a asswhupping

This is true.

It's funny because it's true. This guy looks the same if he wins WC, or loses them.

Adagio · November 22, 2003, 17:22

...and then they say computer animations have trouble showing feelings...

Hakkapeliitta · November 22, 2003, 17:33

bah. showing emotions is just a sign of weakness.

Pekka · November 22, 2003, 17:36

It is. It shows what you think. Never show what you think to people who are not very close friends with you.
This feature is one of the things that makes us superior, and the fact that we control the world (and space).

You know, ski jump is an incredibly serious matter. It's like a jungle war in a far away country, only with less jungle to it.

Datajack Franit · November 22, 2003, 18:37

Ski jumping is a sport in the same way Formula 1 is, you know

"When you start the jump, you're all alone. When you're on the edge, you have to make the solutions all alone. When you are up there, you are all up yours." - Matti Nykänen, World's Best Ski Jumper (who shouldn't be left unquoted on any ski jumping related thread)

I agree Datajack, I tend to fall asleep after 5 minutes of watching either.

Because Matti's post-ski-jumping career shouldn't be left unmentioned, either...

It's called inner smiling

Immortal Wombat · November 22, 2003, 20:26

Finns rock

The former porn star, drunkard, wife beater and psycho?

Pekka · November 22, 2003, 21:03

Datajack Franit, yes. Also recording artist, now he has his own autobiography, sold in Europe especially Germany, and there is a movie coming out about him, one of the new young movie stars has been chosen for the role already.

Now we are worried about him though, he's only 40, and doctors told him that he dies soon if he doesn't stop drinking.. already had a heart attack what.. last week?

VetLegion · November 22, 2003, 21:25

This picture is old news, besides, it looks photoshopped

Buck Birdseed · November 22, 2003, 21:54

It actually is. See the white bacground and the clean cutouts? You never get stuff like that in real life.

Anyway, it's missing the key finnish emotion, "A minute ago we were in the sauna drinking Koskenkorva, but now I'm mad and I've drawn my knife".

Pekka · November 22, 2003, 22:29

No no it's there.. number 3. Enormous joy of having a chance to cut someone.

Lonestar · November 22, 2003, 22:38

Finns suck. They gave mikhail water and juice.

Pekka · November 22, 2003, 23:49

Comrade, I know! I'm so embarrased.. that PM is absolutist, no alcohol, but never mind screwing up the etiquette.. it's like if he's not having, then no one is having. Doesn't want to set bad example for kids? Yeah, right. I hope he asked Mikhail's wife if she washed her hands after going to the bathroom, so the kids know even the ministers wives have to wash their hands, and they'll be no exception.

But we know Rooskie PM couldn't go a day without vodka.. he'd get so depressed being sober for 1 second of his life and realizing the condition of the country that he'd go crazy

Nubclear · November 22, 2003, 23:55

Invade Finland!!!

Pekka · November 23, 2003, 00:08

bring it on. Then we can publish your emotions. 2 of them: afraid of getting killed and dead.

Winter is coming.... ..

Yeah, that's right. The finns are so damn wimpy and gay.

Theben · November 23, 2003, 10:44

A legion of Finns, armed with skis and emotionally numb as hell...

pretty darn scary.

Pekka · November 23, 2003, 10:51

We're not numb. We just don't show our emotions and don't know how to handle it. That's why Swedes stereotype us as drunkards with knives, because when folks get drunk, they can't hold back anymore you see..

Saying how you feel is gay, taboo and sign of weakness. Real men can take anything and deal with it. Like elephants, they go die to the graveyard and not be miserable bastards amongst the fellows. Only places that allows guy hugging and joy gone overboard is hockey games. You can be angry though, that's ok. Except if you're a *****, then you can't be angry either.

Theben · November 23, 2003, 10:54

I've seen your camo posse, pekka. If showing emotions is gay, then you're a jewish grandmother.

Pekka · November 23, 2003, 11:08

In the army it's ok. You can act as you want in your free time, it's all good and fun. There are few expections. Like hockey games, and the army. Others would be when you're drunk.
