Scary news from A Voice for Men. On their front page right now:
So Sweden is Nazi Germany?
This is a little confusing to me, because, according to what I’ve always considered the most trusted and reliable source of Swedish information, Sweden is actually Napoleonic France.
Unfortunately, my only other real source for information on Sweden is not much help either, as it seems to suggest that Sweden is … the Mojave desert?
Oh, fuck. Please do post the freaky crank call, please.
I had a cow-orker [sic] who kept getting obscene calls on her cell, back when they were fairly new. Finally she put him on speaker and let the whole department hear the sicko while he did his thing. We were all vewwy, vewwy quiet while he did his thing, then cheered and laughed and gave him a round of applause when it sounded like he was getting close.
She never heard from him again. Let’s hear it for caller ID and voicemail.
OK, I’m breaking down and admitting I don’t get the joke in the title.
It’s an ABBA thing.
So being “on the warpath against hate” is somehow an attack on MRA’s, does that mean they’re openly admitting they’re a hate movement?
Falconer, ABBA has a song called Super Trouper. But they sing it “Supe-pah-per Troo-pah-per.”
I am perhaps overamused by puns and dopey wordplay.

I am overamused by ABBA jokes.
I feel like I should comment on this with something from the webcomic Scandinavia and the World, but I can’t decide what. A point-by-point compare/contrast between Sweden and Nazi Germany? Sister Sweden with her “Strap-On of Women’s Rights”? I just don’t know!
I have that poster! I need to put it up somewhere…
Okay, that explains it. I have this mid-70s shaped hole in my music experience.
Does Poutine turn into RAGE MAGMA KITTEH if she hears those messages?
Kitteh: that is an o-for-awesome idea. 🙂
Merci madame! 🙂
I haven’t read the post or comments, but I’m assuming this is an open thread for videos of our favorite Swedish bands, right? RIGHT?
(When we get back from dinner I promise to read this and say something relevant.)
That’s okay, I love Jose Gonzalez!
Kitteh: you had me confused there, but then I realised you were using the British definition of dinner. 🙂
Why does everyone post the Jose Gonzales one? He’s covering the Knife! Not the other way around. Arrrghhh.
I was not expecting a Swedish country-rock song about Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons.
@CWS
I’m glad I’m not the only one around here who reads that webcomic! My LEGO creations, let me show you them!

@Karalora
Aww! Those are really really cute.
(Hehe, Iceland’s volcano and demon pet…)
@Karalora: I see you are continuing the trend of super-talented feminists. 🙂
RE: bookdragonette
TED AND BOOSTER! WOOOOOO!
Ha! NOBODY expects the Spanish– er, Swedish country-rock musicians!
OMG, the LEGO SATW! You are fucking amazing! *chokes in creative envy*
@Karalora
SATW LEGO figs, that is awesome, they really look like them.
