Olympics 2016: Riohazard

Ah, but the pitchers were mostly for my devastated Swedish friends .

(Can't I just cheer for football on Friday?)

 

HALF A BOTTLE? I see the detox didn't take again.

 

After 30+ plus years, maybe, I should try this alcohol thing. ATM, I can't even get a protein shake down and I usually have 2/day.

 

Why? Sweden will comfortably win this

 

Try Bonnie's Goldschlager. That was her pre-Norway match tipple.

 

Marta is pulling for her country after all!

Marta: Many complain about #SWE's tactics, but it's their tactics. You have to accept it. Now I hope they win the whole thing.

"We all say nöu, we cän english, söu yu döunt niid Svidisj.", but that is bollocks. Get your bum to Folkuniversitetet and pay for it. It is like SFI for people who _actually_ want to learn the language. Or be dilligent A F and refuse to spik Inglish with people you encounter. Thing is, people find it curious and interesting with native English speakers, but they don't hire them. I mean, it's not impossible, but it becomes far less of a hassle if you can show you have SAS-B or whatever kids call it these days, and seem fluent in the interview. All this "Vell, ve häv English äs cårpårate länguage" thing is just bollocks, and you will be so ashamed when you see the level of English that is output from organisations where the CEO fancies himself to write English like an actual professional.

 

The emphasis should be on HALF

 

So I do have this job offer in Stockholm for 2 years and that is why I asked. Swedish doesnt come handy in the rest of the world. Swedish must be easy to learn yes, but apart from chasing all the blondes running around I kinda dont see the plus in doing so

 

Correct. Well, if you have a job already you'll be fine. There used to be a big expat community which is handy as Swedes don't make new friends after they are 18, so no coworkers will be keen to get to know you.

 

Read some stuff on fourfourtwo about what a crime it is that Sweden is in the final. They forget what it is like for a team that isn't the US or Germany. They never have legitimate goals disallowed, they rarely have bad calls against them. I now follow Crystal Palace men, and they have the same situation when they meet Man Utd or Chelsea. Few calls are made correctly, because the bigger team has automatic preference due to how the human mind works. Proud to say that Palace doesn't whine, although I as a supporter do. The point is, after getting eliminated by Germany for a decade and a half in what in most games was 40% refereeing and 30% luck, bunkering and countering a slim win over Germany would actually be relatively FAIR. It is not going to happen, of course, I'm not delusional.

Germany, unlike the USWNT and Brazil, have a well-organised cynical team machine, and I can't even envision a scenario where the current Sweden WNT keeps them at bay first of all, and then successfully counterattacks to actually score.

Although I'm sure I know how I would feel if they did manage a third miracle. I've seen live, decades ago, a team that was essentially the then Sweden WNT + Marta outplay and crush a team that was essentially the then German WNT, and it was magnificent. Even Frida Östberg scored a goal from near the mid of the field, and she was cronically inaccurate normally.

 

While Im grateful for you to explain to me the complicated societal patterns in Mordor Ive been looking for some necro post made 3 years ago by @jocasta and I understood nothing. It's like sims speak. Like German from 3000 years ago. Dat man nitte kan waka waka... what? why should I learn it when even bambi eyes Arslani doesnt turn me on while speaking it? Oh, and that the vid is a reminscence of some certain event that took place also 3 years ago is just unlucky coincidence:

Weirdly, in Stockholm, over the last three decades skj, sj and stj sounds have morphed into ch. "De e chitjobbit ju". "Ja e chöukt streassad, assåa" and the domination of the majestic Stockholm E has almost completely disappeared (except for some cabbies) meaning the ä vowel has made comeback in the Mälare valley.

 

I can only tell you about me and I think the Sj in granny Sjögrans name is actually pretty easy to pronounce. Doesnt help me though when I happen to go to the next local mjöd hall and I cant read the menu

Did I? Didnt understand a word except that man (one, the Swedes) cant play football and that she will focus on her waka waka dancing from now on.

You know me too well. But since you're not Swedish and I actually dont have that many videos to offer I wont do it....


WAIT, wait reverse psychology???? Nice try! Uhm Ill look something up. In the meanwhile, just as an example: Instead of falling back to English like the Swedes, this is how a decent language and song has to sound like. Future speak might a bit hard to understand for you though:

Ha! U didnt expect that!

 

The emphasis should be on "Jocasta, you old drunk"!!!

 

See, you'd think so, as it is the sch sound from German, but now in Stockholm as discussed above, it's morphing into a version of Dutch G(?!?) and of course the peasants are all imitating, so, soon you'll have kids introducing "Täräys Chööugraun" on telly as if it was socially acceptable.

 

I almost got excited when I saw that - rare Medieval kitsch! The equivalent of writing a PhD thesis in Klingon, just to show you can. These days runic manuscripts (= menus) are only found on the island of Gotland during one week in August, plus of course at the "Viking" tavern in Stockholm owned by (alleged) musician, E-type. The mead there is a bit iffy, but they do wine too.

 

Ah, yes. The pure, unadulterated German language.




(That one even has football in it.)
