Is it an entirely different game board from regular darts? Just curious. Because what fun, except for the thrill of stealing would those kids have gotten if they didn't know what it was for.
Well, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what to do with a set like this
Whoever stole it just shredded it. I found the remnants in a lane behind my house after I realized it was missing. It was my fault for not putting it away anyway. Damn beer and barbeque.
Haha -- beat you to it. That is where I got my dartboard from. It came from Maryland. Whoever heard of a Finlander living in Maryland? I thought we all lived in Thunder Bay.

Thank you. Still don't understand the game after reading the rules from another link in the link you posted. But this stuck out.
13 § It is forbidden to compete under the influence of spirits or drugs.

Haha. Yup. That rule doesn't exist in Thunder Bay, I can assure you.
Officially, the name of the game is to score the most points in 5 rounds with each competitor getting 5 darts per round.
The way that my grandparents played (and therefore I play) is that you start on the outer ring (1) and work your way in. If I hit 2 7 8 1 3 with my first five darts, I get to shoot for rings 4 5 6 7 8 on my next turn. The first person to hit the bullseye on the proper turn wins. Pretty simple.
1/12/1879, 4/8/1156, 2/6/1977, who gives a shit, ...
you mean you're studying Finnish or what? if so, it's "opiskelen Suomea" or "olen Suomen kielen opiskelija."
but I'm impressed.
"Don't be faint-hearted, I have a solution! We shall go and commandeer some small craft, then drift at leisure until we happen upon another ideal place for our waterside supper with riparian entertainments."
Is big Sami Hyppia (Liverpool FC defender) the coolest or what?
yeah he's pretty damn cool.
and since LFC is my fave team nowadays (don't ask me why, long story. :rolleyes: ) he's even cooler.
"Don't be faint-hearted, I have a solution! We shall go and commandeer some small craft, then drift at leisure until we happen upon another ideal place for our waterside supper with riparian entertainments."
Yes, I'm studying Finnish, because I'm in hopes of going to the Helsingin Yliopisto for schooling.
wow, that's really cool. how did you come to pick Finnish? you know, there are less difficult languages out there.
no, I'm really happily surprised with the fact you picked Finnish.
"Don't be faint-hearted, I have a solution! We shall go and commandeer some small craft, then drift at leisure until we happen upon another ideal place for our waterside supper with riparian entertainments."
after a couple of days of drying my tears...finland blanked canada 5-0 in the men's world hockey championships to win the bronze the other day...
my two favourite teams going at it and i think it's obvious who my favourite is...EH?
couldn't have lost to a finer team, though.
congrats to finland...just thought i would keep you in the hockey loop, eMMI
I've been meaning to send you a PM to congratulate you on a good game. but I've always forgot. :rolleyes:
your favourite? Finland of course! cause we're such nice people.
your team was really good. but ours just was better. I enjoyed both of the games Finland had against Canada.
so yes, I did watch them.
thanks mooks, very nice of you.
"Don't be faint-hearted, I have a solution! We shall go and commandeer some small craft, then drift at leisure until we happen upon another ideal place for our waterside supper with riparian entertainments."
Well my family is mainly Finnish, and we have many ties in country. Also, as you know, Finnish colleges do not have tuitions. I don't quite have enough money to go to school here in the states, so I thought Finland would be a good experience. Plus I love learning languages and the Finnish language, although very difficult is fun and exciting at the same time.
really? that's cool.
nice to hear you're enjoying learning our language. I'll also be happy to help you out with it if I can. yeah, our schooling systems are very different aren't they? I'm not entirely sure about the meaning of tuition though..

Hi eMMI, since a while I see this post and read through it here and then.
But now the day came, when I have a question about Finland.
Did you see the European song contest?
What does your folk say about the winning of LORDI with
HARD ROCK HALLELUJA!!!
I thought it is soooo extremely funny and I loved the fact that the only rock song won, but of course our press is all over your country now, saying it is a shame that such a band is winning this contest.
ahh, wtf, but well,
any thoughts on this... I am sure it will make me smile even more
there is no way to peace, peace is the way!
...the world is come undone, I like to change it everyday but change don't come at once, it's a wave, building before it breaks.

tee hee, I did see the Eurovision. this year I watched it for the first time in years!
lol. well, the folk says all kinds of things. first, when it became announced that we were, in fact, going to send Lordi as our representative people were shocked. :eek:
"no no, we can't do that, they will think we worship the satan!!"
there was all kinds of fuss.
"we will be humiliated, we can never win, we can't even get to the finals"
someone pleaded for the president to stop this nonsense.
then the people putting the Eurovision together said it's a disgrace to let a satan worshipping band perform and participate. :rolleyes: (you don't wanna get me started on how far Lordi is from worshipping the satan!!)
and then it happened, we won.
*shock*
:eek:
and now most of the Finns are happy and proud.
"I knew we would win it! I knew it all along." (yeah right. :rolleyes: )
many older men and women support the band with a smile on their face. people had huge parties in Helsinki (the capital) and in Rovaniemi (that's where Lordi's from) to celebrate the victory.
everyone's gone nuts!
lol. I'm a little tired now so that's all I've got for now. I might get back to this tomorrow.

thanks so much for your immediate response.
you made it, I am still laughing out load, so much!
funny Finns!
You were so needed around this boaring contest! And as I said, I am so happy that a rock song won.
I, of course, did never assume that they would worship satan or so.
The front singer looks so nice without his costume but with his glasses on.
how could ppl assume anythin bad ?
have a good rest and a good night sleep,
and be sure, if there is more to come tomorrow
I will be happy to read more, coming from you.
later

I'm off to focus on other topics for a while now but maybe later.
btw. I did get a good rest, thanks.

Hey eMMI... nice thread!!! always good to learn anything new about other cultures and other countries...
So my question is... since you are here on this message board of PJ.. i bet that you are a big fan of them... so how do you feel, since if I´m correct PJ only gave one show there in 1993... and after that... not one single show??

hey, thank you!
lol. well guessed. indeed, PJ is my favourite band of all times!!
yeah, as far as I know they've only done one show here. and back then, I had never heard of them since I was very little, 6-7 years old.
and on this tour, no shows (but we're still hoping for the another tour they've "promised"), which bummed me out big time! but I can understand it, cause the chedule is very intense as it already is.
I have no clue about how many fans are there in Finland, I certainly do not know even one! :eek: so I dunno, that can have an effect..
of course I'm bummed about the fact that at least in the near future I won't be able to see my fave band live but then again.. I haven't been a fan of PJ's for that long (it took me a while to discover them) and there are a lot of people who have waited for longer than me.
I know my time will come someday and I'm not about to give in.
hope that's good enough, I might add something later but I'm in a hurry now.
"Don't be faint-hearted, I have a solution! We shall go and commandeer some small craft, then drift at leisure until we happen upon another ideal place for our waterside supper with riparian entertainments."
Heh, good show on winning the eurovision. I havent heard the song at all, but the image alone was worth them winning it. Just to shake things up a bit. I am suspicious to their sound though, as they cited Norwegian glam-rock contestant the last time Wig Wam as influence... Cause, Wig Wam sure does suck. They are posing as poser rockers, I mean come on.
But a monster winning the eurovision. Kinda gives a true face to the whole deal in my view. As long as the infinitely annoying Carola doesn't win I'm happy.
Peace
Dan

Thank you, for your post...
Yeah I understand... but how long are you a PJ fan, I mean since which year?
Yeah.. I met a finnish girl, on internet a few months ago... and I started talking about my favourite band... PJ... and then she asked : who are them?
I was like.. what??? she never ever heard about them in her life.. and she´s 17 years-old... I was so shocked...at the time...
But she´s an amazing girl... now she defenetely knows PJ... but doesn´t like the more hard-rocking songs... one time I sent her the song blood... and she said she hated it... lol...
So keep up the good work... and once again... very very nice thread!!!

Here's a question for you. Did you sign the petition to boycut the finish tabloid that published pictures of Lordi without masks?
I think it's hysterical that over 110.000 ppl signed it. If you send out a petition to ban animal transport for more than 12 hours (i.ex.) about 10.000 ppl would sign. But when you publish a pic of some rocksingers face the public are rioting!

lol. thanks.
if you wanna hear/see it, you should be able to find a video from YouTube.
I don't think I've ever heard anything from Wig Wam. I like their name though.
lol. you're right! there's gonna be a huge party for Lordi tonight in Helsinki. I mean, they've even built a stage for them on the marketplace. :rolleyes: and there was a Lordi-mask on a daily paper today too. :eek:

no problem. that's what I'm here for.
lemme see.. I'd say I've been a fan for a little over a year now.. but I feel like I've been listening to PJ for all my life.
well, she sounds like a decent girl. but how can someone not like Blood? :eek: unbelievable!
well, I know I know, to each their own.
lol. once again, thank you! I'm doing my best.

I haven't signed it, it hasn't crossed my path.
although I haven't I still think that what the magazine did was rude. the members of the band had CLEARLY expressed their hope that pictures of them without masks would not be released and that people would let them stay as sort of fantasy-figures.
plus, I don't like the magazine anyways.
well, I guess that's a sign of what our society is like nowadays. :eek:

Yeah.. she´s a very decent girl...very nice.. altough.. she´s always complaining about finnish guys.. she said she doesn´t like finnish guys... lol
wooow... so you don´t listen to PJ.. since much time ago...
I started listening to them in 1998.. still remember... live on two legs... when I first heard it I didn´t like it too much... but in 1999... it was the explosion to me... at that year I was absolutely addicted on them... I bought all their studio records on that year(crazy year)...
And then after 8 years... I´m gonna finally see them live for the first time!!!
I can´t wait!!!!
LISBON - SEPTEMBER... HERE WE GO!!!!
And thanks again for you hard work to answer to everybody....

Hi again eMMI... I was thinking ... I just asked you personnal questions.. no question about Finland...
So here it goes a couple of questions:
Do you like to live in Finland??
Isn´t it too much cold to live??
And that finnish girl... who I know... is always complaining about the fact that young people drink too much in there... do you also complain about that?
Sorry for this so many questions...
Thanks again...

hey hey. don't worry, I enjoy answering questions.
I love living in Finland! this is my home country and this will always be my home country. I'm really glad that I was fortunate enough to be born here, because life here is great and the society is supportive towards it's citizens. I'm grateful for everything I have cause in many countries people aren't as fortunate. I try to keep that in mind.
lol. no, it's not too cold. (where do you live by the way?) well sure, it's pretty darn cold in the winter but luckily we've got good clothes to keep us warm.
and believe it or not, it does get hot here during the summer. Finland is not a country of eternal winter!
many young people do drink here. and I have been one of them. (well, I do drink still but at least I'm legally allowed to now) many kids get drunk for the first time in their lives at the age of 13-14, which is really young.
now that I'm older I can see how foolish it was for me to drink when I was younger. one of the biggest issues is that obviously cause underaged kids can't go to bars to drink they hang out in parks etc. as there are many young kids in the parks, there are also many not-so-young people there - drug dealers and other people kids should not have anything to do with. during my "years in parks" I was offered different drugs many times. luckily I was never tempted since a friend of mine abused drugs at one point (she was taking all kinds of pills) and I saw what happened to her and what kind of people she hung out with. (she's out of it now)
what I'm happy about is that the adults of our society - the parents and the police - have noticed this issue of young kids drinking and in many cities there are more policemen patroling the parks and streets on weekend nights.
I've got two littlesisters that are in the risk age to start drinking. well, the other sister turns 18 this year so she's soon allowed to drink and I know she's smart. but the other sister is 16, I know she's never been drunk in her life but her friends have. I know that she too is smart but I know how much of an influense friends can be. I've told her how stupid it is to go get pissed at some park.
I know that kids are always gonna be experimenting with alcohol before they're old enough to do it legally. but I'm just hoping their drinking could be less about getting wasted cause that seems to be the goal of way too many kids aged 14-17.
hmm. I think that's about it.

I know my time will come someday and I'm not about to give in.
hope that's good enough, I might add something later but I'm in a hurry now.
But a monster winning the eurovision. Kinda gives a true face to the whole deal in my view. As long as the infinitely annoying Carola doesn't win I'm happy.
Peace
Dan

Thank you, for your post...
Yeah I understand... but how long are you a PJ fan, I mean since which year?
Yeah.. I met a finnish girl, on internet a few months ago... and I started talking about my favourite band... PJ... and then she asked : who are them?
I was like.. what??? she never ever heard about them in her life.. and she´s 17 years-old... I was so shocked...at the time...
But she´s an amazing girl... now she defenetely knows PJ... but doesn´t like the more hard-rocking songs... one time I sent her the song blood... and she said she hated it... lol...
So keep up the good work... and once again... very very nice thread!!!
I think it's hysterical that over 110.000 ppl signed it. If you send out a petition to ban animal transport for more than 12 hours (i.ex.) about 10.000 ppl would sign. But when you publish a pic of some rocksingers face the public are rioting!

lol. thanks.
if you wanna hear/see it, you should be able to find a video from YouTube.
I don't think I've ever heard anything from Wig Wam. I like their name though.
lol. you're right! there's gonna be a huge party for Lordi tonight in Helsinki. I mean, they've even built a stage for them on the marketplace. :rolleyes: and there was a Lordi-mask on a daily paper today too. :eek:
no problem. that's what I'm here for.
lemme see.. I'd say I've been a fan for a little over a year now.. but I feel like I've been listening to PJ for all my life.
well, she sounds like a decent girl. but how can someone not like Blood? :eek: unbelievable!
well, I know I know, to each their own.
lol. once again, thank you! I'm doing my best.
I haven't signed it, it hasn't crossed my path.
although I haven't I still think that what the magazine did was rude. the members of the band had CLEARLY expressed their hope that pictures of them without masks would not be released and that people would let them stay as sort of fantasy-figures.
plus, I don't like the magazine anyways.
well, I guess that's a sign of what our society is like nowadays. :eek:
Yeah.. she´s a very decent girl...very nice.. altough.. she´s always complaining about finnish guys.. she said she doesn´t like finnish guys... lol
wooow... so you don´t listen to PJ.. since much time ago...
I started listening to them in 1998.. still remember... live on two legs... when I first heard it I didn´t like it too much... but in 1999... it was the explosion to me... at that year I was absolutely addicted on them... I bought all their studio records on that year(crazy year)...
And then after 8 years... I´m gonna finally see them live for the first time!!!
I can´t wait!!!!
LISBON - SEPTEMBER... HERE WE GO!!!!
And thanks again for you hard work to answer to everybody....
So here it goes a couple of questions:
Do you like to live in Finland??
Isn´t it too much cold to live??
And that finnish girl... who I know... is always complaining about the fact that young people drink too much in there... do you also complain about that?
Sorry for this so many questions...
Thanks again...
lol. well, not all Finnish guys are unpleasant.
wow, congrats! I'm sure it's gonna be an amazing show!
hey hey. don't worry, I enjoy answering questions.
I love living in Finland! this is my home country and this will always be my home country. I'm really glad that I was fortunate enough to be born here, because life here is great and the society is supportive towards it's citizens. I'm grateful for everything I have cause in many countries people aren't as fortunate. I try to keep that in mind.
lol. no, it's not too cold. (where do you live by the way?) well sure, it's pretty darn cold in the winter but luckily we've got good clothes to keep us warm.
and believe it or not, it does get hot here during the summer. Finland is not a country of eternal winter!
many young people do drink here. and I have been one of them. (well, I do drink still but at least I'm legally allowed to now) many kids get drunk for the first time in their lives at the age of 13-14, which is really young.
now that I'm older I can see how foolish it was for me to drink when I was younger. one of the biggest issues is that obviously cause underaged kids can't go to bars to drink they hang out in parks etc. as there are many young kids in the parks, there are also many not-so-young people there - drug dealers and other people kids should not have anything to do with. during my "years in parks" I was offered different drugs many times. luckily I was never tempted since a friend of mine abused drugs at one point (she was taking all kinds of pills) and I saw what happened to her and what kind of people she hung out with. (she's out of it now)
what I'm happy about is that the adults of our society - the parents and the police - have noticed this issue of young kids drinking and in many cities there are more policemen patroling the parks and streets on weekend nights.
I've got two littlesisters that are in the risk age to start drinking. well, the other sister turns 18 this year so she's soon allowed to drink and I know she's smart. but the other sister is 16, I know she's never been drunk in her life but her friends have. I know that she too is smart but I know how much of an influense friends can be. I've told her how stupid it is to go get pissed at some park.
I know that kids are always gonna be experimenting with alcohol before they're old enough to do it legally. but I'm just hoping their drinking could be less about getting wasted cause that seems to be the goal of way too many kids aged 14-17.
hmm. I think that's about it.
