Seeing as how the Swedish military hasn't fired a shot in anger since the Battle of Leipzig against Napoleon in 1813.....]

regarding the fire effectiveness, since 1813 they fire into civilians and tourist in the kingdom of sweden, but only after they made sure those who they fire at have no guns to shoot back...

@ 359: Well done, Grasshopper, you succeeded in snatching the pebble from my hand! I look forward to future collaboration.

"Thank God the crack Swedish Doily Brigade has finally arrived! Now we'll be sure to have clean latrines! Huzzah!"

But seriously, what the what even is this nonsense?

Once the Swedes were mighty warriors who wielded swords so long they were used to break lines of pikemen, no kidding.  The Swedes were vikings, then became swordsmen of such renown they hired themselves and their giant swords out to Europe's warring nobles as unbeatable mercenaries.  Seriously, they carried swords into battle against spears.  And won.  Over and over again.

Now they're prancing about with doilies on their heads while they hold hands like metrosexual acolytes of High Priestess Greta.

They are still capable of harassing chicken farm owners in india atleast.

Ya, good enough to harras chicken farm owners in India, not good enough for Ratt Kings and Robber Barrons enlightening us with 1950ies technology that the British exported there after WW2.

Was there supposed to be some actual content to that last message? You are talking about a country looking down the gun barrel of Russia just across the Baltic. What makes you think they aren't taking appropriate measures? Clear & concisely please, leave Derottonen(b) out of it this time.

[Arschloch]

a+b=c ? ...yeah, it's those russian spies surrounding their companies for sure, leaking information directly to Kremlin, comes in handy every time they need to slow down the production output of their volvos and saabs. Pretty boring stories...

[AzCal Retred]

...still waiting for derottonen(a) to return...

[Arschloch]

Hmm, some people waiting for the return of Jesus, they got Greta now. 

[AzCal Retred]

Well...no, actually...just a return of sanity. Any idea when Dr. Jekyll is due back? It'd be a nice change of pace.

Well...no, actually...just a return of sanity. Any idea when Dr. Jekyll is due back? It'd be a nice change of pace.

The swedish Mrs. Frigida doesn't want any Dr. Jekylls around.

I worked with a guy that married 3 different beautiful women over 15 years that all looked and acted virtually identically, to the point when we met the "new" Mrs. Wonderful it was tough to see any difference from the last. We finally told him to just let us pick out the next wife, that the common factor was him. There is an argument to be made for arranged marriages...He came into the shop one day a few months after the last go-round and said he was moving to Las Vegas to be with his family - we all asked "Which one?".
Picking a good partner is challenging. It's very hard to dispassionately look at yourself and think objectively about your "object of desire". One solid caveat is that there has got to be something in it for both parties. Another is that you have to want to get along.
We had one special co-worker that was apparently out to set a record - he got married every 18 months or so like clockwork. He never got to retire, something about alimony & child support...

PS - Ms. Frigida likely isn't a forum participant - All of us here would welcome Dr. Jekyll/Derottonen(a) back!

However, Mr. Hyde has always been more exciting and entertaining than Dr. Jekyll. Plus, you never know what he is going to do next.
