*sigh* you clever little cat you
Well for one, we will promptly occupy and shut down their WMD programs, and confiscate all their WMD's.

*personal aid whispers in ear*

Wait, as it turns out, they have no WMD's... I was misinformed...

*aid whispers in ear again*

As it turns out, France has the evil WMD programs, So we shall soon occupy both France AND Sweden, muhahahah!

A 'too', it's obvious some new American slang, I can't understand American slang either, it's always changing.

Also, the UK is sometimes referred to as the 51st State (probably because of the movie), so does that count? Like Washington it's got lots of rain, we sound funny, so you could just have the UK as a hillbilly state, yeehaw! Ride them Sheep old boy!

I'm not quite sure if your joking or not... "too" as in also. Although I don't usually pic up on sarcasm, especially foreign sarcasm


Quote: "yeehaw! Ride them Sheep old boy!"


Haha, I seriously CANNOT imagine someone with an accent saying that, it just blows my mind, somewhat like saying 2+2=5. lol.

Yup, I guess my humour can be confusing to some people. Though...


Quote: "Quote: "yeehaw! Ride them Sheep old boy!""


this should be the give away.

Though it'd be interesting to see someone trying to do that with an accent, an old toff trying to be texan or a texan trying to be an old toff?

Oh crap, I've got the greatest idea! How about if all of you fellow posters come to Sweden and live in my basement(even though I don't even have one, so you'll live under my bed) bring your computers and it'll be a deal! I'll even let you connect to my wi fi!
What do you think?

Wait what? You're flying? I thought you were just going to swim here... Or something, although if it helps I might be able to bring on a TGC Donkey that you guys can ride on to here. It even has built in rocket-launchers so perfect for all those goblins and blondes here in Sweden.
By the way, on a completely off topic matter, I finally found the place in Stockholm were there are a whole bunch of hot chicks, it's called Kungs Gatan and it is a maybe 30 min ride from were I live.
