What? Too much Sweden? That's unpossible. I stole that from Ralph Wiggum as he expressed his disbelief over failing English.
But yes, last Sweden post. I had to share this really cool Viking ship, which was created in the 1600's for King Gustavus Adolphus for use against Poland but which sunk within a mile of the harbor. Apparently, it was top heavy. Like wealth in America. or all of the waitresses at the coffee shop in Seinfeld. And a small breeze blew it over.
I did not know that there was a skirmish between Sweden and Poland. I apologize, Swedish Tina, if this was my people's fault. Nor did I know any of these cool new words which I intended to post separately but decided to make a rider on this post:
God Jul: That's Swedish for Merry Christmas. But if I were a Julie, I'd feel pretty awesome.
Hiss: Just an elevator. Boo. Hiss.
Skum: It's foam. But it's used in funny places like a huge SKUM sign on the wall indicating the fire safety equipment and Jul Skum, a foam like Christmas candy.
Slut: The end. The last station is the slutstation.
Puss: A lot of speculation went on with this one. We saw the word everywhere with hearts and such and wondered at the emphasis on festering wounds. It means kiss though.

I can at least send a picture of Juleskum, though I though having god with your name would be sweeter.
Terri, for you...
Fish all bathe together. Though they do tend to eat one another. I often think... fish must get awful tired of sea food. What are you thoughts?
