IN A WORLD WHERE LIFE IS CHEAP…
Me: Damn it. I think I forgot to water the plants again.
...AND DANGER LURKS IN EVERY CORNER....
Me: Thank God. Coffee.
Co-Worker: Don’t drink that! It was made last week.
ONE MAN DARES TO STAND UP AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Me: Can we reschedule the department meeting? I can’t think before noon.
(Rising, escalating chorus soundtrack like “Carmina Burana")
FROM THE STAR OF “WHAT I DID LAST WEEKEND"…
Me: I’m glad I bought those socks. They fit me great.
..AND “WHAT I PLAN TO DO NEXT WEEKEND"…
Co-Worker: Beer?
Me: Why are you even asking?
COMES A NEW MILESTONE IN ACTION THRILLS
Me: I leaned back so far in my chair that I almost fell over.
Co-Worker: I do that at least once a day.
THIS FALL, IT’S NOT TWICE THE EXCITEMENT
(Shot: Me examining fingernails)
IT’S NOT TWICE THE ADVENTURE
(Shot: Me updating Friendster profile)
IT’S ALL OF THAT...CUBED.
Co-Worker: Is that fungus growing in your cube?
Me: Oh yeah, I always forget to throw out the sandwiches I don’t eat.
EXPLODING INTO THEATERS SOON.
Me: Zzzzzzzzzz.
What’s the MPAA rating?
I’m SO Netflixing that…
Damn, that sounds like an interesting movie, unfortunatly it wouldn’t make an appearence in Sweden for another 6 months or so...stupid europe and its not getting movies *grumble*
Hoi! Nothing wrong about Sweden! :o We get movies… eventually…
If the film does any little bit of business in Sweden, then the Swedes will remake it, only with more sex.
When’s it come out on DVD?
I had no idea that Geese Aplenty was so big in Sweden. WTF?
I see a new tag line coming: Geese Aplenty-- little known fact: We’re big in Sweeden!
Wow, Greg. Having watched the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy this weekend, I thought it might be hard to find another action-packed adventure movie so exhilarating and well-crafted. I stand, humbly, corrected.
You make fun, but the thing is we’d all pay the $9 to watch. Me-I’m anxious for that whole ‘new socks’ scene.
You should be happy, you get action-movie trailers. I’m stuck with B-grade horror-thrillers: GASP as salad dressing spills onto Dan’s trousers! SHUDDER as someone gross sits next to him on the bus! AVERT YOUR EYES from his terrible handwriting! EVEN SWEDEN SHUNS HIM - NOW IT’S YOUR TURN!
I have a sudden craving for Junior Mints.
don’t worry, dan - sweden shuns me, too.
it’s taken a while, but i’m finally at peace with it.
i mean, who needs (a leggy blonde) readership (with chiseled nordic features, good knitting techniques and cool accents), anyway?
btw greg this was a fun post. and oh yeah i would pay the 9€ or whatevers to see it. hell, it beats *my* pathetic life.
(though i bet i have better new socks. stripey !)

Sorry, J - that _might_ have been true during the 60’s or 70’s (and it’s all Ingmar Bergman’s fault) but I’d say American TV channels show much worse things than the Swedish these days, and on average most Swedish films will contain a lot less (usually completely meaningless) sex scenes than American films. And don’t get me started on all those docusoaps you’ve got where people sell themselves out completely to either get money or a wedding ring… [shakes head in disbelief]
Ok, sorry - rant over
What’s wrong with meaningless sex scenes?
They’re boring?
Oh, and before you say it - yes, if there was a Prude Parade, I’d walk in it
to which i say: AHAHAAAHAHHAHHA!
*ahem*
Flip, please stop trying to rain on our “gratuitous swedish sex scene stereotype” parade, it’s important to us. Also, MPAA rating “PG-13” for casual beer reference.
Hey Flip--actually, I was rephrasing an old Eddie Izzard routine.
I think I’d rather be big in Japan. It’s easy when you’re big in Japan.
It could be lack of sleep, but this post ran a lot like the “Restless” episode on Buffy.
cube fungus… that can’t smell good.
Sorry again, J - didn’t know that. Maybe it’s one of those things that haven’t reached Sweden yet
And Greg, (apart from “I’m big in Japan” being a splendid song (or what to call it) by Tom Waits) anyone taller than 1.5 metres would have a good chance of being big in Japan
Flip - why are you apologizing? This is the comments section of a blog, not The New York Times!!
Or, is it??
[cue dramatic music]
Can’t help it - I’m Swedish, I’m prude and I’m polite (well, polite sometimes):)
[why does it suddenly feel like I’m in the Truman show...]
Everyone is missing the most important part of this entry: He has a Friendster profile?! That’s it, the friend request has been sent! You do realize that you’re now going to have more friends than you know what to do with....with which to do....something....
Rough day at work?
You actually bought socks, your life is just sooo more exciting than mine.
I could only bring myself self to gaze intensely at them, though I did manage to touch one pair for a few seconds last Tuesday…
