Joel, are you going to import the old comments into Intense Debate at some point? Just curious.

You made a new word! I can’t believe this already isn’t in the Cannon of Language, as I have observed this multiple times

Not all of us, but a LOT of us (including our current leadership).

I suggest you befriend a hump back whale. Then when the ice melts you can build a fort on his back.

We do make fun of you, but not so much about your celebrity worshipping, since the same thing is going on in Sweden. We mostly think of you as fat simpletons with nukes and a messed up political system, which is scary, but also quite entertaining from time to time. Aside from the nukes part Sweden is nearly as fat, dumb and politically messed up as the U.S, but we pretend it isn’t.

…and that ice flow is melting! Damn this global warming. Where will we - and our polar bears - live?

That kills me. My ignorance of actual Swedish is so blatant that Im making up fictional characters like “U” and putting an umlaut on every vowel.

Do Swedes do “fake english” or is the language so ubiquitous that everyone basically knows it?

I’d like to think you are making fun of us with stuff like, “Hey. Look. It is Paris Hilton. Lets devote unreasonable time and effort being concerned about her life. Give me some fatty foods and a sub prime mortgage. I DONT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE!”

Thanks for book marking the site and feel free to tell the rest of the Swedes. There are like a dozen of you living on an ice flow, right?

Just found this site, by the way, and it seems nice enough to bookmark. I’m going to go trough the archives now.

#2 The IKEA here in Dallas is one of the largest from what I understand. It is a continent and republic all to itself with its own laws and governing body. A tribunal of norsemen sit atop poorly constructed, particle board observation towers keeping an ever watchful eye on the shoppers and citizen below.

If you commit a crim in the Dallas IKEA you hope to be extradited back to America to stand trial. Otherwise you face MEATBALL JUSTICE!

All joking aside, thanks very much for reading. It’s a little mind boggling to image my comics finding their way to Sweden and somehow being enjoyed. I appreciate it.

Oh, one more thing, all this about when you go in, it takes a long while to go out. I live about an hours drive from the worlds biggest IKEA-store, and if you’re going there, you’ll have to take a vacation for a week, that plase is huuuge!

One last, “progen-pjorgen” is very much not anything remotely swedish.. Sounds kinda like made-up norweigian (gah, can’t spell that one..) Penpal is “brevvän” (litterary letterfriend), there, that’s settled

Adios, and thanks again for lots of laughs!
