How often do you go to sauna?

[Pekka]

Yeah, contests are always big fun. There is world championships here every year, they give live feed to big screens so the audience can see the exciting happenings and surprisin turns of tactics.

I clearly remember one time the last two men in were just staring each other in the eyes, it was crazy! Then the other guy just passed out and it was over. I didn't witness it myself, but I remember seeing that in TV.. You should have seen the stare down, I was rolling on the floor.. laughing.
I mean, how tough can you look naked, sweating like a pig, red and little dizzy?

[Pekka]

But it can be little dangerous too. If you get drunk and do sauna competiting all by yourself, it's very dangerous. It is very easy to pass out in sauna if you're drunk, you can't see it coming, you you jsut go out. And after few hours or so you're pretty much dead and in the morning you look like mummy. Happens here every once in a while, so if you want to compete and all that, be moderately sober and the most important rule, don't do it alone.

[Pekka]

And 85 Celsius is maybe the most common temperature used. I think it's the most comfortable for most people. I don't like 100 myself. Between 85 and 90 is my choice.

[Gangerolf]

I've tried 110C, almost passed out!
I'm more of a 90C kind of guy.

Olaf, Wow! That was harsh


No, common, you can take it!

what does it mean already?!

[Pekka]

Ganger, yeah, the higher you go.. so that's why I don't do that when I'm all by myself.

A translation into English would get me banned for a while. As you are from Norway, you will understand the Swedish words:

Eissa puhua mulkku sussa, perkelä! =

- Prata inte med kuken i munnen, för Helvete!

So Pekka, you removed the translation into English in your edit? Good idea..

Anyway it's nice to be surrounded by "brothers" who can make evil jokes and still be friends. I might add you two guys to my buddy list (whatever that means).

[Chemical Ollie]

Hey, Gangerolf, could you mail me the Che/Saddam image in a larger size? Not that I like Che or Saddam, but an image combining them is just awesome humour! Like combining an image of Hitler and Stalin!

[Gangerolf]

thanks for the translation, it just might come in handy some day

So Pekka, you removed the translation into English in your edit? Good idea..

Actually, Pekka was clever enough to write the critical parts in latin, so it was in clear text. He was also clever enough to remove it soon after he saw my Swedish text.

[Pekka]

Olaf, it's fun to make evil jokes . Go ahead, add me already, though I don't know what that means either

Well, your translation is right on the button. For some reason, I think you can really say it better in swedish than in english. Our bad words meanings are more simular anyway. So I choose to remove it, I didn't think about me getting banned that much. But now that I think of it, it's even better.

[Chemical Ollie]

Wow, I really laughed at the Saddam in Elvis suit and the Che Hussein. But the rest was mostly crap...

I did. By the way, do you work for Stora Enso? I do. I met a few guys from Finland who worked in US and then moved home. I can't remember the name of them all. Are you one of them?

Also few warning words if you're thinking about building sauna, or going to one.

It's nice to make sausages in the stove, wrapping them inside folio. But you have to have steady hands when you're getting them out. There is no good reason why you should make your fingers eatable too.

Then something that happens all the time, the floor may be a bit slippery, so be carefull. Don't fall on the stove butt first. It sounds funny, but it happens _all_ the time.

If you're thinking about building a sauna, first decide what kind of sauna you want. After that, do research how to build one you'd like. There are many errors you can make. It's accurate job actually, a bit science! I once saw a sauna with no place for the air to circle.. needless to say that not only it sucked, but it was dangerous. So talk to professionals before building it, get the proper information and then you can swing it by yourself.
