Estonians are UgroFins, like the Finns and the Hungarians. I refuse to be associated with these people

Ecthy · July 3, 2003, 13:49

wasn't it wife tossing anyway?

They are your fellow Balts.

We speak Finno-Ugric languages, but that doesn't yet mean we are racially bound to each other. Which we aren't for now as that has not yet been proven.

Hey man, if you don't like to be associated with them you shouldn't have stolen that coastline from the Teutons.

Oh well, I'll just pop down to the local newsagents and pick up a copy. Regular journal in East Yorkshire that

They have a Euro WSJ. You can find that. Frigging whiner.

Provost Harrison · July 3, 2003, 15:27

What I am saying is, you should have provided a link

TCO · July 3, 2003, 15:28

It's paid subscription. they did it first and were successful. Back when all the New Economy weasels said subscription was an impossible model. So go pay.

TCO · July 3, 2003, 15:28

Or go to a frigging library or a newsstand.

Ecthy · July 3, 2003, 15:29

or leave it, the story doesn't look too intriguing

Provost Harrison · July 3, 2003, 15:43

Precisely, I'm not paying, it sounds like a pretty boring article...and hence a pretty crap thread...and because it would be a Wall Street Journal only thread, it is thus a group thread. Close it Ming, close it!

TCO · July 3, 2003, 15:48

whining poosy. Crying for the mods. You and your pole-smking site where you get to play make-believe Ming.

I just wanted to point out, that neither me, nor any clone of me reside in Finland, and we're surely not being kicked by Estonia.

Pekka · July 3, 2003, 16:24

Aaaaaaaaaagh! Those nasty Estonians.. They've been doing pretty good in that sport every time. I think we have a rivalry. They won it this time.. Grrrrr....

But we still dominate the more important games like Sauna championships and hockey

TCO · July 3, 2003, 16:25

I am an honorable Finn. For Sauna prowess.

Pekka · July 3, 2003, 16:29

GP, so you're a made man? Cool! You know.. no one can touch you now.. you're one of us in this thing of ours.

TCO · July 3, 2003, 16:33

Damn straight. Like Paulie in Goodfellows.

Umm...I get counted as a Finn, when they do a census on Poly. No kidding. Kassie or whoever it is counts me.

Only 2 Dutch guys and me were willing to jump from the warm Sauna into the snow. All the other Euro types were unwilling. (the girls were yelling at us for our naked bottoms though...)

I later found out that this behavior was not considered proper for Company members at a paid training course...but my Finnishinstructor (also called Pecka) gave us certificates.

Pekka · July 3, 2003, 16:40

You did the only thing possible, naked rolling in the snow and the whole nine yards. It sounds crazier than it really is.

I didn't think it was that big a deal. Not like having your dolphin pin "tacked on" or similar games.

But it was fun to get honored in front of the class with a certificate.

Ecthy · July 3, 2003, 16:55

yes, Azazel, and who cares?

mrmitchell · July 3, 2003, 17:00

Why should the Finns care about wife-carrying? The ratio of men to women in Finland at puberty (an important time for this kind of thing) is 1.04 to 1, so I don't think they're as heterosexually oriented as nonevil beings. Instead, they spend that time becoming computosexual or pornosexual.

TCO · July 3, 2003, 17:03

The Estonians devised a better method for wife carrying. Upside down and in back.

You're easy to troll. Or if not, your trolls don't work on me

That's because I like you even though we disagree on stuff. I don't really go for the balls...all my trolls with you are in fun. Feel the love!

So you already have trade war with the Latvians, refuse to be associated with the Estonians... Don't you think time has come for an external judge, impartial and generous, to step forward in order to help you peacefully resolve the mess that the Baltics have turned into since their independence?
