Stick och brinn=Get off and burn.

Gå och bada=Go and bathe. Of course the underlying meaning is "go and drown yourself". Swedes love understatements.

I like, "take a long walk off a short pier", for that very reason

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

  That's what I used to call them too, learned it from my elementary school teachers.


   Haven't drunk from one in decades though, I'm sure they are full of nasty germs!  :sick:
