Surströmming...?

Never again. Not in this life. Maggots and worms, if getting lost in the jungle, okay, at least you taste and feel that they are alive, but before ever approaching a can of Surströmming again, I would prefer to be dead.

Now, herring in cream with dill, that is something different. I kill for it.

Here's a good link by Shu-bi-dua:

Danske sild!

I'll just say I have a preference for the danish variety, and leave it at that.

I don't smell, I might be a little 'sour' sometimes though...

There are more of those comics by that same guy, can't find where though.

Ok here's another one, with Finland.

We eat our herring raw, umm, sort of.

I recognise the part with rolling in the snow and then getting back in the sauna, my mother used to do that. And also the part with the vasta/vihta*

* First time I've heard the name vihta, only knew it by its other name vasta.

Vihdoin ja vasta kuulit että vihta on vasta.
Vastoin tahtoasiko vihdoit?

Eh... Sorry, my Finnish isn't quite as good as it used to be.

I think I understand the first sentence, not sure though. The second sentence? No idea.

Finally and only now you heard that vihta is vasta.
Did you use a vihta against your will?

This was easy for a post count increase.

You would have gotten the same post boost by just replying, rather than tying up bandwidth with a repeat of all the pictures.

Though I will agree they are funny.

Who the HELL do you think you are ?

Are you trying to get another award ? ASSHAT of the YEAR ?

As far as I'm concerned your post took up Airspace.

Screw You. Your worth 5 points.

edit: IMHO

Steve made a very good point.
