Svenska Flaggans Dag

[CyberGnu]

Well, with all the recent Sweden bashing, I figured it was prudent to celebrate June 6'th, Swedens national holiday. Well, not exactly holiday, since people still work, but as close at it gets :-)

The celebtration here in LA will most likely be confined to a few games of Kubb and maybe a wee bit of Akvavit


Now, lets sing!
Ur svenska hjaertans djup en gaang
en samfaeld och en enkel saang
som gaar till kungen fram
Var honom trofast och hans aett,
Goer kronan paa hans hjaessa laett
Och all din tro till honom saett
Du folk av frejdad stam

Till Konungen!
Skaal!

[Roland]

I needed a reason to get drunk today. Thanx!

[Stefu]

I think the biggest reason why it isn't celebrated is because, like everything that's said in Swedish, sounds absolutely ridiculous. "Svännska Fläggganns Daaag" doesn't stir anything in your heart - it just sound prancing.

[Kropotkin]

Down with the King!
Long live the republic!
Cosmopolites of the world unite, down with nationalism!

[CyberGnu]

Aaaaw, Kroppie, but he is sooo cute!!!
With his litte bird neck and dyslexia...

Come on, have a toast, makes you feel better. Norrlands Akvavit kanske slinker ner?

[CyberGnu]

Hehehehe, you are just jealous, Stefu. But there is no reason to - for this day only we pretend that Finland is still part of Sweden and you can celeberate to you hearts content!

[CyberGnu]

Roland, skaal!!

[Kropotkin]

Tror jag föredrar en O.P. lr kanske en hallands fläder (för att kontra med lite regionalism).

Tyvärr är den enda snaps jag har hemma polsk; Zubrowka.

[aaglo]

SÃ¥ roligt, min pappa
SÃ¥ vackert, min mor
Up här i norrland
Vi alla bor.

(chorus x 2)
Jag tycker om Lennart
Han tycker om mig
Fem gånger på dagen
måste tvättas sig.



[edit]: I just remembered the first sentence of the 1st verse correctly... sorry

[CyberGnu]

Yuck...

Men Hallands och Norrlands aer ju ganska snarlika...

[CyberGnu]

aaglo, that made absolutely no sense... Keep up the good work!

Och gloem inte att du inte faar stoppa upp koettbullar i naesan, Marcus.

[Kropotkin]

En sup, är en sup, är en sup. Klart det går.

[Stefu]

for this day only we pretend that Finland is still part of Sweden

It would be more productive to pretend that Sweden is part of Finland, because that's what's going to happen in 20 years.

[CyberGnu]

Hehehehehehe

That's the spirit!

(no pun intended)

Stefu, I thought so too for a while, but Nordkapital is buying most of it back.
