Pot is to Kettle as Swede is to Norwegian. Also, haircuts.
UPDATE: This is quite interesting: Google Zeitgeist. The world affairs and Nature tabs are particularly arousing for people who like impulse responses.
Read that today, found it interesting given recent talk on here of communist humour, european humour, etc.
Speaking of which, there are ads on tv selling ringtones which, as far as I can gather, make fun of the hilarious accents Norwegians have. I'm not kidding. Swedes making fun of how people speak. Now I've seen everything.
I realised the other day that in my recent efforts to actually understand what Swedes are saying to me and each other, I've been neglecting what's really important: to laugh at it as the floopy floopy gibberish it really is. I can change, I promise.
In actual news, I got a haircut this arvo. Jayzus, they're expensive here. About AU$70 for a basic hack and slash job. For that money, I expect a work of art. Well, come to think of it, that's actually what I got: a work of art. Some critics have labelled it derivative and unoriginal (resemblances to Goya's "Yard with Lunatics" are undeniable) but who can predict the path art takes? I'm sure its a closed book to even the smartest of minds.
Seriously, it's a pretty shocking haircut, quite uneven. I look like a coconut. You know that Shania Twain song "That don't impresssuh me much"? Well, when I saw what kind of haircut you get for $70, I felt just as angry and helpless as I do when I hear that terrible song.
"Humour is not a mood but a way of looking at the world. So if it is correct to say that humor was stamped out in Nazi Germany, that does not mean that people were not in good spirits, or anything of that sort, but something much deeper and more important"-Ludwig Wittgenstein

Fuck dude. If you keep making me laugh like this at work... well... man.. I might just ...
Sorry, I have no idea where that is going. Hilarious stuff though. I would even hazard a "LOL".
Two words:
Pho...to
Please.
So, you got the looks, but have you, got the touch?
Don't get me wrong, yea, I think you're alright, but that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night.
Just like your semi bald head won't.
If it's any consolation, I had pink hair for the month just past. I'm not ready to talk about it any more than that yet.
I second Lil B.
xx
bro, kt, I realise such a post behoves photographic evidence.
I promise some soon, tomorrow perhaps. Camera is currently otherwise engaged in a mysterious experiment that can only be revealed in due passage of time.
p.s. It might get confusing that there are two people who post on here called Lil B....
"I felt just as angry and helpless as I do when I hear that terrible song."
Brilliant.
