Aguirre Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I've been running into references to Überfinns with toothpicks and pinecones on this forum for about a year now. I need to know: What started this madness? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I think it had something to do with some exchange of opinions about the coming CMBB between Steve of BFC, Tero and some others. The relevant thread probably can be found from the archives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snarker Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Actually, it's probably the thread with the funny pictures people remember, but your referenced thread may have prompted this: Finnish pinecones Unfortunately, when I click the link in the thread to get to the hilarious pictures, it gives the 'doesn't exist error'. Maybe lost when BFC changed servers / host. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aguirre Posted September 6, 2004 Author Share Posted September 6, 2004 Sergei Thanks! Pretty much what I expected, but still hard to believe. Snarker And this world is the poorer for their loss, I'm sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarker Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 They were classics - pictures of (modern day) Finns fists through the shell holes in a WWII Russian tank, Finns holdng toothpick and pinecones near the gouge marks from shell splashes, etc. Maybe Tero will revisit us and post them again. Ranked right up there with the 'I pissed him off on purpose so he would growl and show his teeth' thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 The pine cone thread is still there, but because threads from CM forum have been archived, the address has changed... Lo and behold!

Aguirre Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 "There has been questions from Jane's reporters if this kind on weapons are still usable nowadays, against modern armor types. Answer: Yes they are, with ease. But the soldiers are instructed to use gloves against reactive armor. The race between armor and AT-weapons is ruthless." That alone was worth it. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And besides, the pictures were not by me anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
