KAH Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Pshhhtt... I play my "Native American" card, which gives me +2 immunity to imperial narratives.Aha, but we did not build an empire there, which gives us a +3 "Not fucking over Native Americans" bonus!

How awesome is that? A dead dude who makes us eat cake every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lummel Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 OK so Gustav Adolf made the world safe for Protestantism single handedly (he needed the other one to control his horse) - but what have the Swedes done for us lately?

Falagar Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Snorre. While an Icelander, all of the interesting kings he describes are Norwegians (also, they were good at zingers - see Olaf I's description of his opponents)In addition:- Norway hadn't had nobility for 600 years, but could still field guys with names like "Georg Valentin von Munthe af [of] Morgenstierne"- first General-Secretary of the UN, Trygve Lie- Ibsen was awesome- so was Nordahl GriegAll I got.

S John Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Our IKEA massively burned down this week. No one was hurt, so its rather funny.Last time I went to IKEA a car caught on fire in the parking garage underneath the store and we had to evacuate the building. It sucked because my truck was in the same garage, along with my jacket, and I had to stand out in the cold until the fire dept. cleared the scene. I guess the car on fire destroyed a couple other cars near it, so I was not sure if my truck was destroyed or not until we were allowed back in (it was fine). The kicker is that I was completely done with my shopping and at the checkout. If I had been 5 minutes faster I would have been outta there! I'm afraid that I'm going to have to blame Sweden for this entire incident, so -1 Swedes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
