    From here, a funny comic about Finns vs. their fellow Nordics:

    I am an orthodox Christian, and I think y’all ought to be careful with the Nordic imagery. I watched the Battlelore “Third Immortal” vid, and it is rooted entirely in pre-Christian Ugaritic mythology. Nordic myth is so powerful that the early Christian missionaries did their best to wipe out those myths, because there was absolutely no way to redeem them or use them as a preparation for the Gospel.

    I am a white guy, of course, and there is something about these images that definitely stirs my blood. It is a very powerful sensation. But it is the power of blood, and the blood is dangerous.

    Something to think about.

    You forgot to tell us to stay away from sacrificial meats.

    Wait, does this mean horse sacrifice is unChristian?

    I didn’t do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can’t prove anything.

    Thanks! Sometime soon, I’ll add recent additions here, and remove some dead links, see if I can figure out what some of them were, too.

    What about all the little red dots that Kimi Raikkonen left all over Europe?

    I love music videos with anime characters. This is the Finnish team from Girls und Panzer. The music is from Korpiklaani. It’s the Russian version. Youtube keeps taking down the English version.

      Thanks fuzzy! We had the English version indeed in here, but yeah, long gone…

        In both, the chorus is the same. 🙂

    There is this, also from Girls und Panzer. I can’t tell what it is about having only watched music videos.

    I found this. It looks as if horses like it too.

    Like the bear, I can’t understand a word he is saying, but he is either very unfriendly or crazy. Smart bear.

      I understood one word: “Saatana!” 🙂

       
    • Will S.

      July 17, 2020 at 12:46 pm

      The bear probably understood and objected, “Hey, I’m not Satan! I’m just a bear, buddy! Sheesh!” 😉

       
      • fuzziewuzziebear

        July 17, 2020 at 2:05 pm

        The more that I see of this video, the more I like the bear’s reaction.

         
      • Will S.

        July 17, 2020 at 3:25 pm

        Well, you would, being a fellow bear and all. 😉

    While the cartoon is Japanese, they have a Finnish team who has only one tank. They make up for it with spectacular driving.

    While this thread is here to honor Finns, I couldn’t think of a better place to link this.

    To borrow from the Prego sauce ad, That’s Canadian!

    i’m pretty sure that the Finns have the highest per capita rate of Formula 1 championships in the world.
    1 – Keke Rosberg 1982
    2 – Mika Häkkinen 1998-1999
    3 – Kimi Räikkönen 2007

    Valtteri Bottas and Kimi are still racing and Valterri has 9 wins himself although he doesn’t seem to quite have the stuff necessary to be champion.

    The picture is of Mika, commander of the Finnish tank in Girls und Panzer.
