What does pinning for the fjords mean? (I know it must be an expression or something but I don't get it)

This is not a rickroll. Copy the URL and type it into google if you're so paranoid.

That link was pointless.

Go to 1:35.
And Monty Python is never pointless!

To "pine" is to long for painfully. A fjord is a geographical feature caused by glacial action, and hence common in Scandinavia.

That link was pointless.

That link is to the sketch from which the phrase entered popular culture.

I know what a fjord is (Scandinavian after all) but what is it you meant with it. Even if the link provides an explanation I'm afraid I don't understand half of what they say (partly because I'm used to listen to my teacher or classmates who all speak slower and with different accents than them and partly because of hearing issues)

[Nameless]

Thats surprisingly not as impossible as it should be

It makes perfect sense when you think about it!

No, seriously, it does.

Very well then.

The sketch involves John Cleese attempting to return a parrot to a pet store, having found that it is deceased. Michael Palin, the shopkeeper, maintains that it is alive, just "resting". After Cleese bangs it against table, he claims it is "stunned".

One of the reasons given for the lack of activity on the parrot's part is that it is "pining for the fjords".

Blimey, it's the dog's bollocks, mate ! It's nonsense, I know.

I got that much (It was the later part I couldn't hear) So Plot 3 is dead then I even had a idea for a comic, oh well nothing to do about it.

Are you drunk or something? (no offense) Oh nonsense... You still sound out of character (or whatever you call it).

[Wreckingrocc]

That's still far better than I could ever do in any foreign language, Keveak... Unless, perhaps, I spent hours grueling over the answer...

[-skimmer-]

No, seriously, it does.

Actually.....that could be the answer!

To the TVtropes with it

Nameless deserves his own TVTropes page anyway.

Oi! He's making perfect sense. He's mocking a stereotypical accent, but it's not incomprehensible.

Another funny thing about it is that Danish is often called the hardest language to learn but apparently that doesn't go the other way (or maybe I'm just good at English, who knows). The real reason is probably that since Denmark is so goddamn small only childrens cartoons are translated (everything else we get the English version of, I actually had to ask a older friend a lot about what my Yu-gi-oh card did when I was younger) *keeps blathering about more and more untill stopping with the word "turkey"*

EDIT:

It's not dead! It's resting!

THEN MAKE A COMIC!

Is the accent drunk pirate accent or something?

[Keris]

THEN MAKE A COMIC!

You know what? Maybe I will.

...at some point.

No. It's British, but I'm not sure as to the exact locale. "Blimey" is an expression of surprise, anger or excitement, and "the dog's bollocks" is the best of it's kind (the term comes from "cat's whiskers", and I have no idea where that came from).

It's from Hollywood !

After we finish the fight against the Shades (Lying, are you currently doing a comic ? Because I could do a really quick one before you do), is the group going to Alphantica ? It would be interesting plot-wise.

[Mina Kobold]

Can I do one too! (just where they arrest My character whoose name I forgot so I'm making a new one since it was unknown anyway)

[Wreckingrocc]

Don't forget Mecha-SoG!

Would anyone be opposed to a main character dying during the final battle? Perhaps a plot-central one like Salmon; Lying would have to cast the revival spell while everyone else would hold of all the baddies...

It would pull Lying, clearly the most powerful, out of obliterating everything, would give more character to ABR, and would make for a cool final battle.

Though TnD and GR would probably be torn between working for the good guys and the bad guys, since there are now Threeshades' on each side.

[Shades of Gray]

Don't forget Mecha-SoG!

Robot me? O.o

[Wreckingrocc]

SOG: Yeah, you didn't notice that?

The giant fighting robot is called the SoG 9210, it was in the Vendetta's hangar, implying that you probably owned it as well at one point, and it does slightly resemble Oliver...

I wanted to make a giant fighting robot, and I was like, "Vendetta... Shades of Gray probably had a robot. Why not a giant fighting version of him?"

I thought the shades were demons that was in Threeshades soul because Sildyu made a deal with the devil/demon meaning they aren't really threeshades, I might be wrong

Nah, words wouldn't be able to describe my awesome.

I'm hoping to get the comic done by Wednesday, so if you can do it by then, go ahead.

[Wreckingrocc]

They are, but they still look physically like the Threeshades, and sound like them, and TnD doesn't know the difference.

But a picture of awesomesauce can.

Landfish can't be resurrected; they don't have real souls.

It would be better if it were Lying himself who died, and later came back through his Clone spell.

The only problem is that we are very close to finishing the battle, since Salmon, the only remaining fighter, is going to unleash his amulet and go around super powered.

Although you may fight Sinister Penguin & co, who are at the bottom levels.

Maybe something could happen to his clones and thatcould be why he is crazy (well more crazy) in FI? Just an idea

indeed...

[CrimsonAngel]

Woah...you just made me smile. And that takes a lot. Make love not war!

That wouldn't help with overpopulation.

Not really, but its good excuse for me to state my last FFF comic non-canon....

Besides, I totally want to fight a giant robot
