ChickenOfTomorrow posted:The Little King Look, I understand that a king can't just go out and watch the latest romantic comedy in a theater because the local tabloids would go hog wild, but is building a secret entrance, a secret mining track/rollercoaster and a secret canal that leads to the movie theater really easier than waiting for the DVD? Hell, I'll bet the producer will mail you a copy ahead of schedule if you ask since you're the king!

I was reading some old Fingerporis at work, so here's some easily translated ones. I don't think they've been posted before, at least in this thread. In the north: - Hey! My wallet! - The nature in Lapland is pretty rough!  - I was trying on some of my old bikinis the other day, it was... - Umm... - Tuesday  20 AD - Welcome to the wedding friends, have some wine! - Uhh... this is just water... - The antichrist!!  - Our guest researcher needs a personal assistant - I know how to interact with disabled people - THOSE LIGHTS ARE S-T-A-R-S!! THEY ARE VERY FAR AWAY!

I'm not sure that letting a self-confessed thief, criminal and cheater - who you almost killed five minutes ago - to shave you is such a good move. Even if you're a badass who slaughtered an entire army.

EasyEW posted:Popeye This storyline is more infuriating than Mike du Jour. Sure the previous one about toddlers being hanged for piracy was absurd as well, but Popeye's passive-aggressive girlfriend screaming "If you don't have a last name you should be dead you piece of poo poo!" at him is something else. Who comes up with this? Where's Popeye beating up brutes? Come to think of it, why doesn't he just spinach-punch the mob outside his house until they're gone?

catlord posted:Wait, you're just going to let a baby wander into the tool shed unsupervised? You are the worst parents. Given that he was pretty ok with the baby being hanged for piracy, proper supervision probably isn't very high on Popeye's list. Also I bet the Horrible Surname That Must Not Be Mentioned was/is going to be something completely predictable and lame like "Landlubber".

Wanamingo posted:Nancy Later that day Phil realizes that dedicating his life to some shallow idea of a supreme being and old rock singer memorabilia has been a mistake. He abandons his titbag girlfriend and her weird midget spawn and gets an entry-level job at an investment bank by name-dropping his dad who used to be friends with the greedy rear end in a top hat CEO. After a decade of working there and advancing his career with cutthroat tactics and questionable ethics, he is ordered to oversee the foreclosure and demolition of Fritzi's house to make way for a parking garage. Later that week Phil sees Nancy and Fritzi on the street begging for scraps. He realizes that even though he has become as emotionally numb as his abusive step-father, it still beats the hell out of living in Gilchrist's sappy fiction.

Julet Esqu posted:Luann, as promised, is dumb. The most annoying thing about this storyline apart from the usual blandness is that when you're moving to another country you can't just loving buy a plane ticket and be gone the next day without even telling your friends! Moving to another country requires some work even if you're a Gunther with no life and living with your mother. When I moved out of Finland it took about a month to get all the visas, sell the car, give away all my stuff that didn't fit in a backpack, cancel all the rent/insurance/internet/newspaper/whatever contracts and subscriptions I had, and then there's about a million other things that you don't realize you have until you need to get rid of everything. At the very least you need to get some vaccinations and those don't happen overnight either.

The art is ugly, the "jokes" are offensive and Spy vs. Spy is just the worst thing in existence. At this point I'm even looking forward to reading Mike du Jour because at least it's something different and it just makes me angry, not nauseous.

Fingerpori hasn't been very good lately, but have some of the better ones anyway: - Have you seen the report from the union? - What does it look like? - Just a normal A4-sized paper - I think it's this one Newspaper headline: Ark of the Covenant found? / The union paper found? (In Finnish the word for a single paper is "arkki", which is the same as the word for the ark. The word for a labor union is "liitto", which is the same as the word for the Covenant, so...)  TV: A man was hit by a bus in East Fingerpori / Man stays under a bus in East Fingerpori - I'm not leaving. It's raining outside and I don't have a job. (As the spoiler explains, when you get hit by a car or something in Finnish, it's literally "staying under a car")  - Welcome to our family farm! - That's the Möttönen family there  FLIPPY THE DOLPHIN - Where does that opening lead? Adventure awaits! After a week: FINDUX SALMON CUBES

Fingerpori - I'd like to return the bird feeder I bought - I can't hit any birds with this Lintulauta = bird feeder Lintu = bird Lauta = board Because of this, a "lintulauta" can also be interpreted to mean a "bird club" or other such instrument for hitting birds.

The depiction of Finns in Prince Valiant is totally off and perpetuates the myth that they are all actually Mongols. Luckily Fingerpori represents a more accurate picture of them, puns included: - Eino Ahmasto will not attend the European Athletics Championship - The reason given is a sudden sprain THE PREVIOUS NIGHT: - Come on Eino, stay a while longer - Well all right... but just one pint (The word for sprain/strain, "venähdys", is also used when you're out at night and "suddenly" one pint turns into jägerbombs and whatnot. The expression is "ilta venähti", which would literally be "the evening sprained". Of course "venähdys" comes from "venyä", which means to stretch, so the expression can also mean "the evening stretched" which kind of works in English too, but that's enough  about Thule-raiding pygmies.)VVVV Mandrake's dad owns Darkest Auer fucked around with this message at 07:32 on Dec 15, 2014 |

Fingerpori I don't know how common this is elsewhere because I've never seen it outside Finland, but there sometimes in the supermarket the cashier will put the frozen stuff you buy in a small bag to... I don't know, prevent the other stuff in your shopping bag from getting wet?

Well they put each individual item in a separate thin plastic bag, so it's not to keep them cold nor to keep them together.
