Stefan's garters

Yes.


I take it that fish doesn't play a huge role in the local cuisine?

If it did, we'd all be mad as a hatter. Oh wait...

On second thought, maybe it does.

I am told that this dog ate nothing but local fish for months... look what happened to him.



Mercury poisoning... tragic, yet fun to watch.

So that's where techno dancing came from

Yeah, you're the #1 consumer of tuna, more specifically canned tuna. That alone makes you seem insane.

I'm from Finland, techno doesn't exist here. We have tango and metal. Techno is found in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK.

Individually frozen. Won't start feeding them to anything for at least a month, because some if not all of them do carry some form of parasites.

If you only knew how much of that tuna gets put into sandwiches that end up expiring and getting thrown away.(vending machines and convenience stores) We waste tons of food here. Personally, I know a woman that buys cases of tuna but doesn't eat it. She gives it to her cats. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if less than half the tuna imported actually gets consumed by people.

[Stefan-A]

I can imagine.

So you know Swedish, Finnish, AND you manage to write (type) English better than just about all of the Americans (or for that matter Brits and Canadians) on this board!! .

You missed Latin and German

[Stefan-A]

It's actually annoying. I keep going back to posts I've made a minute earlier just to make sure I replied in the right language.

Or maybe that just has something to do with the fact that I'm damned absent-minded.

This conversation has me wondering something Stefan.

Have you ever found yourself thinking in languages other than Finnish, not intentionally but without trying?

When I went to Brasil, I had to learn Portuguese quickly, and I found the easiest way was to think in Portuguese, after all the thought process is nothing more than talking silently to ones self.

Finnish is actually me second language, but I understand what you're asking and the answer is yes, frequently. Close to 99% of everything I write is in English and there are a lot of concepts I use on pretty much a daily basis, that I couldn't easily translate to my first language.
