Berlichtingen Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Just back from the Chicago CM Gathering. Good fun that. Now, the point of this post. Much time was spent discussing the Überfinns and their ability (unmatched by anyone else) to kill tanks with logs. After careful discussion of the evidence, we have determined that Finns are in fact Ewoks. Since Finns are the only ones that can kill tanks with logs, and we have clear photographic evidence of Ewoks killing 'tanks' with logs, it stands to reason that Finns are Ewoks.

Damn, let that cat out of the bag. How many will suffer from that slip....oh, and it was agreed that 30-40 percent of the people that regularly post here need help; yours truly defintilyl included. sorry, too much pilsmer druken tongiht.

Juha Ahoniemi Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Hmmm. This makes me wonder what kind of substances You guys had in Your meeting. Let me check on Your theory: 1. Our small country was attacked by Evil Empire (check) 2. Leader of the Evil Empire was sinister tyrant (check) 3. Help came from outside (brrrrrrrrrr - sound of wrong answer) 4. Happy hollywood end (brrrrrrrrrr - siren is buzzing again) But on the other hand The Evil Empire is no more! And I have a hairy butt! This is getting really compilicated! It seems You really got great time there! Juha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juha Ahoniemi Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Jarmo, I think Finns stopped tanks with logs mainly in winter war - no help there... About that halloween thing, for me every day is halloween - if I happen look at the mirror! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets not get overly excited with the hairy butts. Sauna day is coming up and only us Finns go to sauna with other guys butt naked and are still able to ignore the other guys ascessories. Being drunk as skunks does help but(t)... One more nail to the theory: did you guys catch the new Charlies Angels movie ? The girls talked like Ewoks in one scene and we had to rewind the tape several times to verify that they did speak Finnish in that one scene.

Spanish Bombs Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Well, I had enough explaining to my wife to justify going out for beers with guys I share a computer game in common with, but fortunately I do not have to explain to her that I am going to something called "sauna day". As for the Chicago meeting, much beer was consumed, experiences shared, longing for CMBB expressed, and of course, we poked fun at fellow BTS board denizens. Suffice it to say that I went home and fell asleep in the middle of Band of Brothers. One lesson learned: the one sure way to clear the bar of CM players in the midst of heated discussion: plug in the damn karaoke machine. I think the first song they were going to play was the ewok victory dance from Jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tero Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Originally posted by Spanish Bombs: but fortunately I do not have to explain to her that I am going to something called "sauna day". No explanation is needed. Every woman in Finland knows it is merely an excuse to get blastered with friends. If you started blabbering something about a computer game the wives would raise hell but if you are only going to sauna with some friends no explanation is needed. Suffice it to say that I went home and fell asleep in the middle of Band of Brothers. From a guys night out in the sauna you are not even expected to come home before the morning paper. One lesson learned: the one sure way to clear the bar of CM players in the midst of heated discussion: plug in the damn karaoke machine. I think the first song they were going to play was the ewok victory dance from Jedi. I would have thought a LAN game of CM would have been more effective.

We did go over the one scenario in our section that was completed by both of us, and it was resolved that the levels of victory reached by both of us would be about average. Which I was glad to hear, cuz I thought that I had gotten my butt beaten so bad that all the hair fell out, which would have meant my honorary UberFinn membership would have been revoked... I think that I am still a little hung over here, I think Rune and Berlislipped me a mickey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from discussion of the aforementioned scenario which everyone in our section has finnished, we just spoke about generalities, like "That Wild Bill is a real sumbitch", and "This is Juha's secret weakness." Anyway, there were 5 or 6 other witnesses there, and that would have been a lot of bodies to have to get rid of, even for a couple of Chicagoans.
