Wherein I Fend Off Northern Lusts

[Chromatix]

On the date story, I would want to have severe words with the "friend" as well as the "date". At the very least, they need to know just how bad a match they set up.

Gilgamesh, just where in Finland *do* you live? My map tells me that Nunavut and Finland start at about the same latitude, and last I checked, most Finns live pretty near the south end.

Of course, 80% of us immediately have to google "Phranz-Pharenheit" to see this legendary shoe.

Tbh, I think the pink phranz-phlutter would go best with pink camo.

Excuse me, I gotta rush.... "HUGHIE!"

I really wouldnt advise googling "Phranz-Pharenheit" its rather painful and involves rhinos and rhinstones. The idea of that combined with pink camo is mildly terrifying to say the least.

As for the asshat "date" I really hope that one day he comes upon a lustful bear (or wilderbeast... species is not important!) and that said animal does have its way with him leaving him shamed, and feeling dirty!

And when he manages (if he manages) to pick himself up and walk away the whole experience it was captured for our viewing pleasure by helpful tourists on a handy cam which they then post on Youtube for us to point and laugh at forever more!

BUT THE SHIPPINGS FREE!!!



And just for shits and giggles:







ETA: Holy Hell, would you look at this?!

Gilgamesh, just where in Finland *do* you live?

Well, as I said I live further north than some of them. Pretty much half way through the actually populated part of the country (somewhere close to Vaasa-Kuopio-Joensuu line), and... so near to Russia...

On pink camo: I feel like crying whenever I see pink camo sheets or backpacks, so I hope I'll never encounter anyone wearing it. Maybe they should ship them all to Svalbard in order to tackle the polar bear problems without bloodshed.

Chavtastic.

SC: "I'm trying to activate my calling card."
Me: “I’m sorry, you have the wrong number.”
SC: “So?”

"So... I'm a different company. But i'll be glad to take your credit card information to use for personal gain if you still want to give it to me."

Pink Camo

I tried telling this one to mom but i couldn't speak without breaking down into laughter.

At least she didn't want Multi-Cam® in pink...
(if anyone from Crye is here please don't kill me for suggesting that!)

So quite close to Joensuu, then. Seems reasonable to me!

Looks to be quite a lot of big lakes in that direction, which I'm sure the Canadians are familiar with as well.

Ah, Phranz-Pharenheit is a style of shoe from ECKO. That says a lot. We sold a lot of ECKO stuff at my store that some of the teenage guys would go nuts for. One said, "Yeah, I'm gonna get this for my hot date! What do ya think?" "I think that if you want a good chance at getting laid, set down the oversized t-shirt and pick out one of those nice polos that fits."

[bunnyboy]

..wha?

Me: “Good morning, <company>”
SC: “Yeah, I gotta problem wif ma computer.”
Me: “Ok, wha-“
SC: “I don kno wha kinda system it is, its jus lahk a computer by the till!”
Me: “Alright, t-“
SC: “I CAN’T TALK TO THIS GUY! You talk to him!”
< He then passed the phone to a coworker. >

I’m assuming the reason he was unable to talk to me is because I can form coherent sentences in proper English. Both of which are apparently like kryptonite if your family tree doesn't fork

There ya go, fixed it for ya.

annnd...rest.

And have a tall glass of whatever beverage you prefer, me, I'll take a Belgian Whit.

Hey GK...

...is May there?

[Aramika]

DO NOT ENRAGE THE MIGHTY SKY DRAGON.

Thank you GK, I needed a good laugh.

[edit]
and now it is part of my siggy, hope you don't mind

[Buglady]

Gravekeeper, there are times when I hate you. The outfit that you described gave me a mental image that will require in amounts that one can only get from Costco. Thank you very much.

I think I actually saw pink camo last time I was in Costco.

... like “Phranz-Pharenheit”..

Okay, so I googled that phrase and came up with an "urban hip-hop" shoe style.

Somehow, I just don't see Nanuvut as "urban hip hop".

What do the polar bears wear?

And - GOD GOOD!!!!! How the hell do they afford clothing items that cost over $100 - is there some sort of vast amounts of wealth in the far reaches of the north. Can they convert snow and ice into currency? Are they sitting on large reserves of oil!?!?! I don't get it!

Sometimes, when you're just that stupid, and you really believe...

Well, can't speak for everyone up there, but I do know that if I had accepted my company's offer to move up to Yellowknife for a year, I would have raked in approximately 5 times what I currently make in a year.

I still said no. There's no real golf up there.
