That pleases me very much.

From the linked story: “Fart, though, means speed in Swedish”

Fart kills!

One of the comments from that video:

“This youtube video is priceless! haha (= Very nice. I hope you continue to make more cause your topics are really interesting”

Both mags are great! As is the video.

“I’d rather break all the bones in my body than chew tobacco,”

Kids say the darndest things.

i can see you beaming from here, bob. congratulations.

Update from the state Capitol: Still No New Nukes — NIMBY!

“I’d rather break all the bones in my body than chew tobacco,”

get a puppy. mission accomplished.

My stepdad is Swedish and would often mix his languages saying something like: “put some fart in it!” when he wanted you to pick up the pace.

Don Shelby was talking about that on his radio show yesterday, cubbie.

It’s true, too. I took a bad fall at the end of my driveway a couple of years ago when my dog gave a tug on the leash will I was on an icy patch.

I tore up my knee pretty bad, and ripped and bloodied my best pair of jeans..

I feel the need … the need for fart! That just doesn’t quite work.

The German word for exit is “abfahrt.” I always remembered it through word association — after a fart, you look for an exit…

Woo! Mankato women’s BB is playing for the Div II championship.

@justbob: Or that flatulence will get you anywhere.

Bad Kitty!

I’ll take this open thread to mention the fact that for the next two months I’m, er, vacationing at the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in beautiful Ft. Sumner, New Mexico. Where’s it’s currently snowing. But the good news is, today is catfish day at the burger trailer.

I like to read that magazine while lounging in my unfortunately named Ikea furniture.

*lounging on.

RT @mnblrmkr Woo! Mankato women’s BB is playing for the Div II championship.

WTF, did you just retweet on a non-Twitter forum?

You know it.

@thebrandi wait, this isn’t #twitter?

Nice Kevin! I love that you RT’d here!!

Wish I’d thought of that.

Would it have made more sense if he’d done it in a different thread, rather than the same one?

No, it’s funny no matter what. Was that a RT from this very thread? I’m too lazy to scroll up.

(Hi Bix!)

Mankato wins Div II women’s BB Championship.

Dear Baker,

Who’s that in the Final Four? Oh, it’s Villanova and not Pitt.

You owe me a beer!
