I stand corrected on the Norwegian issue!

I remain semi-steadfast on the question of Sweden though. Foreign troops were certainly allowed transit through Sweden, the trainloads of Germans going to Norway are a stain on our neutrality. Operation Balchen (our name for Operation Where and When) was basically the same…

SILENCE, TRAITOR! It is due to our peaceful nature.

The Germans POWs in Norway were handled by Norwegians and the British, as the Norwegian goverment-in-exile had been stationed in London. The mixing of allied troops was incredibly inefficient due to command chain and language barriers, and was AFAIK only done in occupied territories (Germany and Austria), due to…

Strangely enough, most cars in Sweden, including Volvo and Saab, had the steering wheel on the left side even before the big switch. This was even used as an pro-switch argument.

It was used as a hunting lodge. There was probably a logging road there decades ago, so the owner probably just drove it straight into the woods until it stuck, and then called it a cabin. He also installed a simple stove and chimney in the rear.

Authorities just found a car graveyard on Gotland, where they have so far dug up 40 cars. They estimate there's at least 100 cars buried at this site alone, and that there are dozens of similar sites still to be discovered. (Being all neutral and peaceful means Swedish mass graves are…

Unlike the infamous car dumpster in Belgium, the birth of the Bastnäs scrapyard had everything to do with the American servicemen who left their cars behind after the Second World War.

Yeah, "Operation Iraqi Freedom" sure was a lucky coincidence! It could just as easily have been named "Operation Tickle Belgium".

You have FOUR dollars?! That is four times my monthly income! AND you get to go to school? You are living high on the hog, my friend! I empathize with your fears about not riding a bus. Most of my friends were raped and slaughtered by the local warlords as they walked to school. Joke's on the militiamen, though, as my…

It didn't make roads safer, it didn't lessen fuel consumption, it was unenforceable, and it increased bottlenecking. Sammy Hagar was right all along.

That's what they want you to think. (Twist reveal in upcoming third video shows that it was just one dog all along)

All dogs are simultaneously smart and dumb until you observe them. Then they inevitably become dumb.

Let me assuage your feelings:

The only thing that could make this video better would be if we saw a family of raccoons casually stealing all of Stella's dog food in the background.

I totally understand you, and you do actually look good in that type of hat. But you have to consider the material here. If that hat was made out of straw or cotton, it would be appropriate leisure wear. A felt hat of that type is made to be worn with a suit, NOT with a pair of jeans. It is slightly jarring, like…

It can be deployed with regular glasses as well, in an even more terrifying way.

You are too kind! As I'm typing this, I'm using the False Humility Though Really Fishing for More Compliments Gambit (eyes downcast, chin down and to the left, nose wrinkled imperceptibly, upper lip drawn up in mock disgust over the undeserved praise you lavish upon me.) Stop it!

It certainly requires an eye roll, but RYEitNS is done eyelids-up (to maximize eyeball roll), whereas QELBoI is brow up - lids down (to maximize eyelid surface area, as the eyelids are the real signifiers of incredulity). Sophia Loren exposes more eyelid than Mansfield does boobage.

Great job on those cookies, Janice. ¬_¬

I have to add that we forgot about the man in the picture. He's employing the chin-down stare, whereas his wife is using the chin-up. The Chin-Down, Symmetrical Brow-Raise is very effective against unworthy young men who are asking for his daughter's hand in marriage. When…
