Today June 6 is the national day of Sweden. Sweden is widely considered the acne of civilization. :cheers:

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Acne?  As in red, blotchy and annoying?

Why is it always "rebel against their rightful king", and never "seizes freedom from the hardworking peasantry"?  :mad:

One in a big long Swedish tradition to getting rid of reigning monarchs when they starting behaving like douches.

WTF, Poltava day is 8 July.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

BTW am presently rocking "The Final Countdown" in your honor. We love our Swedes. They are funny scandinavians with funny accents and imperial ambitions.

I think we in the US should also have a National Day of Sweden, where we all celebrate by acting out some Swede stereotype.

July 23 is St Birgittas Day - the swedish verision of St. Patricks Day. Eat Surströmming and IKEA Meatballs while listening to ABBA songs. Not as much fun as getting plastered on Guinness; lagom at least though.

We all act like tall blonde air heads and speak with Minnesota accents?

Cool.  I would not mind replacing St. Patty's Day with that.  Should take the Irish down a notch or two  <_<

QuoteEat Surströmming

Had to look that up.  Ehh, no.

Quoteand IKEA Meatballs

Can do  :)

I'll need to find a Swedish beer I like.  Come to think of it, I dunno if I've ever had a Swedish beer :unsure:
