Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Perhaps they have an inverted colour scheme to that of ordinary budgies, or perhaps you can't tell the difference, I don't know. Myself, I imagine them with a fully extradimensional colour array, intangible to lesser minds and capable of driving rational humans to an otherworldly madness. A Lovecraftian palette, if you so wish.
Swedes, Danes and Norwegians are generally able to understand eachother perfectly well if we don't get all too excited and/or drunk (although Danes sound like they're drunk to start with, so perhaps we're easier for them to understand while slightly inebriated ).
Icelanders can even be intelligible if it's a good day, but it's hard and requires a good knowledge of both aged vocabulary and an affinity with puzzles. Takes the Icelandic word "lögregla". At first it looks like complete nonsense, but when you take it apart, you get "lög", which isn't all too unlike "lag" ("law"), and "regla", which sounds like "reglera" ("regulator"). So, the gibberish "lögregla" is actually a law regulator, or a policeman (although I might have gotten my etymologies wrong, seeing how "regla" also sounds like "regel" ("rule")).
Our national mythos is mainly carried through tradition and children's tales, just like we've always done.
Probably. I've never looked, so I wouldn't know, but I find it highly unlikely that you'd be completely unable to find a Swedish Literature course in all of Sweden.
That said, I wouldn't be all too surprised if you found more Swedish Literature courses outside of Sweden than within its borders...
Yay!

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
No? IIRC a while back Curly complained that while she'd been at uni the DemonCat had to go to the vet for something potentially life-threatening and she was annoyed her family hadn't told her? Maybe you were thinking of that?
*Hugs*
Pfft, you call that a wall of text requiring true devotion? In my day, Random Banter had at least 3 walls of text per page! And they were longer than that! And we had to multiquote by hand!
Yes really, that's the nonsensical phrasing I was referring to. It just wasn't a very good joke I'm afraid.
Hey, Pride and Prejudice is great! You shouldn't be put off good literature just because some of its fans are just as silly as its third main female character.
I'm confused as to what the higher stakes thing has to do with Succubus' cmplaints about P&P. And I'm certain there are more widely believed rubbishes, not least because if people widely believed pop music was bad it wouldn't be popular.
I don't know a thing about the context of this but make-outs are not a necessity for a relationship to be considered 'real'. It's all about the emotions, man.
No, it is terrible and will destroy your life!

YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Kneen, I found another glögg recipe you might want to try. This one is a bit more flashy:
Spoiler- 0,75 l red wine
- 1 pc cinnamon stick
- 1 pc ginger
- 1 pc bitter orange
- 5 pc clove
- 2 tsp cardamom
- 400 g sugar lumps
- 0,35 l schnapps or vodka
- raisins (once again to serve with the drink)
- almonds (preferably scalded) (-||-)
Heat the wine and the seasoning in a pot. Put a lattice (for example the rack from an oven) halfway over the pot, and put the sugar lumps on top of it over the wine. Add the vodka, and heat (probably until it almost boils).
Take a match and set fire to the drink. Then scoop up the burning liquid and pour it over the sugar so that it melts down into the pot. Finally, put a lid on the pot so that the fire is extinguished. Test if the drink is sweet enough, if not, put back the lattice with more sugar on it and set fire to the drink again, repeating this proceedure until you're satisfied.
You can store the finished glögg in the refrigerator to heat and serve with almonds and raisins at a later time.Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...
