HEY - wanna pick up ?
with love, the BP
You're welcome.
Wait...what exactly are we talking about?
"Hello? Batman?"
Oh, I just felt the need for a shoutout to the Old Country (Sverige). Plus it was Calvin and Hobbes (always a bonus).
Hurr-MO-doo ee-dogg?
Do you speak Swedish? I'm not a Svensk-poyk, and my spelling is attrocious (I'm going for phonetic here) but I remember a little from an old friend.
The answer to the above greeting was usually either:
1) Bohr-a BRAA ...or
2) Stark somm BRENN-veen; Fint somm sneuss!
(translation available upon request)
Ahh! Jag veta lite Svensk...från Svensk flickarna kor.
Yes! New Post! Triumphant return! Uh...let's see if I can turn a paragraph into bullet points for you:
- You're Swedish only, or a mixture of what else?
- You like the Calvin and Hobbes?
- Did you know that Bill Waterson has NEVER licensed Calvin and Hobbes for reproduction, so all those decals on trucks of Calvin urinating on Chevy emblems (or whatever) are illegal?

- When you shop at Ikea, do you feel like you're at home?
Dude, Calvin and Hobbes was the coolest comic ever! But, I'm afraid Norway and Denmark are cooler than Sweden (and coincidentally my family is from Norway and Denmark). =)
Did someone say "lefsa"?
Michael! You're even cooler than I first realized. I'm actually more Norwegian than I am Swedish, but like I said before--oh wait, it was in Swedish--I was in a girls Swedish choir for 10 years! Because of that, I have a very strong tie to Sverige.
Did someone say krumkake? I'm hearing kringla...
* I am a mutt, yes. :)
* Calvin and Hobbes, oh yes.
* A couple more bullet points, nice.
* Ha! That is really, really funny. I feel very much at home while shopping at IKEA. That's hilarious that you'd even say that...and then that it'd be true. When the IKEA opened here in Minneapolis, I sang at the opening (in Swedish, of course) and then was one of the first 10 people to walk in! Ahh, home, sweet IKEA.
Did you know that the greek word for home/house is oikos and oikia?
Some random trivia for ya...
Calvin... "Named after 16th century theologian John Calvin (founder of Calvinism and a strong believer in predestination), Calvin is an impulsive, imaginative, energetic, curious, intelligent, and often selfish six-year-old, whose last name the strip never gives. Despite his low grades, Calvin has a wide vocabulary range that rivals that of an adult as well as an emerging philosophical mind. "You know how Einstein got bad grades as a kid?" he says. "Well, mine are even worse!" He commonly wears his distinctive striped shirt.""
Hobbes... "From most characters' point of view, Hobbes is Calvin's stuffed tiger. However, from Calvin's perspective, Hobbes is as alive and real as anyone in the strip. He is named after 17th century philosopher Thomas Hobbes, who had what Watterson described as "a dim view of human nature."[17] Hobbes is much more rational and aware of consequences than Calvin, but seldom interferes with Calvin's troublemaking beyond a few oblique warning."
Too bad there's no "Luther and Tetzel" comic strip! HA!
Or Arius and Athanasius?
Or Hinn and MacArthur?
Or Caner and White? (*eeep*)
Or Dollar and Assisi?
Oh man. That last one would just KILL me. Creflo Dollar and St. Francis of Assisi in a comic strip together? I honestly don't think there's much that could possibly be funnier than that! I need to go to the little bears room! HA!
fish.
did it snow down there? :)
