Random Rants XVIII: It's cold as hell!

[Counterclaw]

I went to Ikea the other day. It was terrifying, they were trying to push their weird food and everything had some foreign name. Like a lamp was called Lampan.

But they have awesome lingonberry jam!

 

[Love]

I also went to IKEA. It's not confusing at all.

Nationalism abound in the Altered Maps thread again. Screw you, Poland.

I hate the fact that the more recent google map javascripts have squashed circles instead of perfect circles.

Lampan = The Lamp.

"an" in Swedish = "the" in English

Not so strange after all huh...

Also, is it true that IKEA is the world's biggest exporter of Swedish cuisine?

Lampan = The Lamp.

Wow, enclitic definite articles! The same system as in Romanian... I had no idea Swedish had that, although now that I think about it I did hear about some north Germanic languages functioning also like that.

IKEA: Serving the world meatballs and potatoes, covered in gravy and lingonberry jam, since 1943.

I just saw one of the stupidest memes I can think of - much more so than even stuff from certain anonymous places. What type of losers came up with talking about some Candle Jack character from an annoying and pathetic kids show that hardly anyone ever even watched, and isn't nostalgic either?

Conservatism is a cancer.

Fixed.

 

[Ulyaoth]

Humanity is a cancer.

Actually fixed.

 

[Kozmos]

Cancer is a humanity.

 

[choxorn]

I reason:

Politics = Cancer = Conservatism, Cancer = Humanity = Cancer. Also, Humans taste like chicken. Therefore, Conservative Politicians taste like chicken.

 

[cardgame]

In conclusion, People = S**t

I honestly don't understand why people take Glenn Beck seriously.

Saturday morning a guy I do not like called me at 6am and woke me up and asked me for some beer. I yelled at him and hung up and a moment later his mother called and asked me to give him some beer.
