karma 3 #3 March 10, 2003 I liked the Conversation in a "restaurant" section. So is this true? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauril 0 #4 March 10, 2003 Quote So is this true? Well, basicly it's true, I just read it and found it really amusing, it's a little coloured, but it's really close to the 'basic' finn..No time to write any more, my workday ended 8 minutes ago Maybe erno would explain more with better english...

ernokaikkonen 0 #5 March 10, 2003 I'll just say that everything in the article had a shred of truth in it, but that things really aren't that bad here... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMFin 0 #6 March 10, 2003 Quoted : "In their home or with the closest friends, Finns can pick their nose, fart, burp, scratch their butt and so on. However, they never do this in public or among strangers. So, if a Finn does any of those things, you know you are now his/her close friend - a great honor! " Thats one way of seeing it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tosca 0 #9 March 10, 2003 Quote Polar bears have excellent sight and sense of smell. They are also very curious and always trying to find more food. However, they don't eat humans! I´m so relieved! I have always been scared of the polar bears. But now I know I can relax. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pojo 0 #10 March 10, 2003 Finnish Love All Finnish women love foreign men. Without exception, foreign men are better, more polite, adorable, etc. than Finns, even - and especially - if the men are from "Macho" countries such as Greek or Brazil. To a Finnish woman, a foreign boyfriend or husband means great status. However, even if you are a foreign man, you don't have to worry about hordes of Finnish women chasing you - unless you meet them while they are drunk. Finnish women are similar to Finnish men: they never dare to hit on anyone if they are not drunk. Finnish men fear foreign women, until they get a few drinks. Then they try to "seduce" them. The only forms of seduction Finnish men know are: 1. to buy drinks for the woman, 2. to invite the woman to a dance. Finnish men can never have an intelligent conversation with a woman, since Finnish men are only able to talk about "men" things such as ice hockey, boozing, cars, women, and violence. If you are a woman, don't bother with Finnish men. In bed, they are almost always clumsy little boys or primitives. They don't even want to know about foreplay, they just rush into the main course, and when it is over, they immediately turn their backs and fall asleep. Neither should you bother with a Finnish woman. A Finnish woman excepts you to do everything in bed, while she herself remains completely passive. As long as your performance is adequate, the woman will cook and clean up for you. But, as you know Finnish cooking - don't bother.pojo In heaven all the interesting people are missing.

KawiZX900 0 #11 March 10, 2003 best link of the week! for sure, cracked grins a couple times. I'm going to have to research what finnish women look like and perhaps go check it out sometime Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.
