    can't really comment on the women thing but if you say so. :p

    but maybe we're looking for some "deeper" issue to cooperate on. :)

    according to the information I have been able to gather, the episodes in which Conan O'Brien is visiting Finland will be shown in the US March 10th. :D

    that means they'll air here on 15th I think. :D

    hmm. a while ago someone, IndianSummer I believe (if I remember correctly) asked me about our language. well, I did answer the questions then, hopefully well, but I found this and thought it was quite interesting.

    it's fun for me also to read it cause it's amusing how something I find so simple can look very difficult. :D

    I just got my new Piippo Tikkataulu (Finn dartboard) in the mail today. I'm pumped. Some kids stole my old one off my shed last year. I laughed because it says in the official rules that you are not allowed to play Finnish darts while intoxicated. I'm not sure if I have ever played without a beer beside me.

    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.
    You've changed your place in this world!

    lol. I had no clue it says that in the official rules. :p then again, I've never played darts let alone read the official rules. :)

    well, I wouldn't worry, I'm sure quite a few Finns play the darts under intoxication.

    It looks like that.

    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.
