Something to lighten the mood

[Juhazi]

Greetings from Finland!
Juha

I've just learned that in some parts of the world, a pot sticker is not an automotive adornment.

Juha is the Finnish version of John.

Yes, I had to take liberties with the spelling so the pronunciation was not lost. Apology to all the Juha's out there.

 

[Cal Weldon]

"toss" has a different meaning in the UK,

That was a error on my part. The term here is 'toss back' and yes I am aware of the other meaning. I'm not just some ****** you know. 😉

 

[Cal Weldon]

That word was w-a-n-k-e-r

You know you're getting old when your nose hair get gray.

Pubes too

Letters like D, G, B in names becomes T, K and P in Finnish. Birgit (Brigett) is Pirkko, Bengt is Pentti, Madelene become Matleena ...

The Finns are great people and very close to us Swedes, though their language isn't. But they are people known for being withdrawn, silence and "moody", illustrrated by this anecdote.
A Swedish businessman has made a deal with a Finnish company and asks the CEO of that company to join him in a bar to have a drink ... or more.
The Finnish CEO is sitting quitly while the Swede have a happy time, constantly raising his glass with a "Cheers!". However the Finn is seemingly getting more and more annoyed and when the Swede asks if everything is OK, the Finns replys "Are we here to trink or to talk ....???"

Yes, we Finns take things seriously. Alcohol-related causes of death are natural causes...

FME&J was a very popular americana band before the lead singer died, this was one of their biggest hits and the first song at gigs. Most of the lyrics were about drinking.

Lyrics translated by goog**

I've walked in those domes
and the old eyes bleed.
Not knowing what to leave behind
always find in front of you.

In this whiskey country I am my dream
always followed in vain.
And while never going to bed with an ugly woman
I have woken up next to many.

Isn't it strange how liqueur and angelic wine are
I can change the point of view, but.
Although I will never sleep with an ugly woman
I am next to them in the mornings.

And while holding my head
next to my mole
I wake up, I wonder what I did again
And how many mornings
waiting for me with similar challenges.

When I start the evening, I'm selective
after two, anything goes
And while never going to bed with an ugly woman
why don't you see others in the morning?

Isn't it strange how liqueur and angelic wine are
I can change the point of view, but.
Although I will never sleep with an ugly woman
I am next to them in the mornings.

And my only thought is
have I collected all my clothes yet?
And while never going to bed with an ugly woman
I have woken up next to many.

Isn't it strange how liqueur and angelic wine are
I can change the point of view, but.
Although I will never sleep with an ugly woman
I am next to them in the mornings.

And my only thought is
have I collected all my clothes yet?
And while never going to bed with an ugly woman
I have woken up next to many.

Although I will never sleep with an ugly woman
I have woken up next to many.

Nice song.
Now if only we can get Ismo to replace Pekka, I could dance and laugh at the same time.
...uhhh, on second thought, that might not be a good idea. You older boys will understand.

 

[ICG]

Now if only we can get Ismo to replace Pekka, I could dance and laugh at the same time.

I can assure you, while you dance, I can laugh at the same time! 😀

You divorcees will understand this one.

Why is a woman like a hurricane?

• when she arrives, she's wet and wild
• when she leaves, she takes your house and car.

Sorry if this offends. If so, report me to the other Mods and I will eliminate your diyAudio membership, no charge. 😉

 

[Cal Weldon]

while you dance,

TBH, I am the reason the term 'dance like a white guy' exists.

 

[ICG]

TBH, I am the reason the term 'dance like a white guy' exists.

Believe me, I'm the 2nd most valid reason just behind you. 😉

 

[Cal Weldon]

I would appreciate if you didn't dance just behind me.

 

[ICG]

I wouldn't if you didn't move that slowly.

 

[Mr_Zenith]

Remember: to avoid being eaten by a bear wearing a Col. Sanders tie, you only have to dance better than the person beside you.

Wait a minute, that didn't sound quite right...

 

[ICG]

Wait a minute, that didn't sound quite right...

Your ..well.. mostly missing.. clothing might suggest you're expecting ..close.. dancing.. ..does it?

 

[Mr_Zenith]

Never noticed that before! Now that you mention it, I suspect Dancing Bear and Porky Pig might have gone to the same tailor. Here he is - sans pants - being chased by a bear not wearing a Col. Sanders tie. Clearly, clothing makes a huge difference.

Besides, I was more interested in where Dancing Bear got that tonearm.

 

[Cal Weldon]

I wouldn't if you didn't move that slowly.

Now you're creeping me out. I thought my days of looking over my shoulder were behind me. Now it's you who's behind me.

 

[Cal Weldon]

where Dancing Bear got that tonearm.

RCA. It came complete with a trenching needle that ensured the records of the day were replaced once a year.
