And you're even managing to be really sweet about it. <br /><br /><br />MikeWJ - I'm afraid the Finnish language is a little more complicated than what Google Translate can deal with. "Autossanikinko", for example, means, "in my car as well?" where 'auto' means 'car', 'ssa' means 'in', 'ni' means 'my', 'kin' means 'as well', and 'ko' is what makes it into a question.<br /><br />So in Nicky's case, all the sayings mentioned were real Finnish sayings. "Rakkaudesta se hevonenkin potkii" means "The horse kicks out of love."<br /><br />That said, I survived class with Mr. I Bet You Can't Say My Title 5 Times In a Row. It was very interesting, but I think I might have slept through half of it.<br /><br /><br />Lauren - It's hard work, but if you're dedicated and really challenge yourself, it is definitely worth the 5 credits.<br /><br /><br />Nicky - You always make sense. Except when you don't. And sometimes when I'm not sober, you don't make sense even when you're making sense, but other than that, you totally make sense. Am I making sense?Zivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18174558111427961797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253452556872551898.post-80170659643478372922010-05-04T12:48:57.651+03:002010-05-04T12:48:57.651+03:00MikeWJ, I wasn't there (unfortunately!), I may...MikeWJ, I wasn't there (unfortunately!), I may have still had too much to drink, and Google translator is stupid!

Yum!<br /><br /><br />Zeidi - Aw, I'm sorry I didn't see you, I would have had cookies for you and all your friends! We should definitely have a picnic of our own. I have become a master cookie maker by now. But maybe we should do it in the summer when it's a little warmer... And when people aren't competing about who's the drunkest.<br /><br /><br />Muschu - Yes you did. Hope you liked them, I know I loved your pizza. I wish I had some pizza right now...<br /><br /><br />Frank - Thanks, I had a lot of fun! You should join us next year. I'm sure M has an extra hat.<br /><br /><br />Frank and Mike - I am deeply impressed by your knowledge of old Finnish proverbs. Nevertheless, I'll have to correct you. The correct saying is, "Appilan pappilan apupapin papupata pankolla kiehuu ja kuohuu. Pappilan paksuposki piski pisti paksun papukeiton poskeensa."

I was just sitting here reading and laughing, until I realized that everything you wrote is actually true. Deeply amazed, I didn't know whether to continue laughing or start crying, but I finally made up my mind and laughed till the end. Great description, really! :)<br /><br />I actually caught a glimpse of you and M at the picnic yesterday! I was about make my way up to you and say hello, but my friends didn't notice me slowing down so I had to run after them not to lose them in the crowd. And later on I didn't see you there anymore. :( Boy, if I knew you had cookies, I actually would have considered getting a little lost... Hope you had a great picnic though, maybe we should gather some friends and have a (little smaller) picnic of our own sometime? Have a great post-Vappen-Sunday! :)<br /><br />/ZeidiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8253452556872551898.post-84442327447276668312010-05-02T05:02:09.721+03:002010-05-02T05:02:09.721+03:00I hope you had a cookie and some mead for me!
