>>22884019I have mad respect for Swedes. I just bought a Volvo so I’m especially keen on you lads of late. It’s an XC90. The thing is an engineering marvel. not in a flashy way. It’s engineered to near perfection in the ways that matter — the suspension, the drivetrain, the fit and finish of everything. It’s all so well done. I’m just super impressed. The more I drive it, the more I notice the subtle refinements that I can tell teams of really bright guys spent endless hours perfecting.
But my first good impression of Sweden was my bro in high school, Hans. He was an exchange student from Stockholm. His family was well to do. Anyway, we played soccer together. He was the next striker, I was right striker. He was so great at soccer we all marveled over it. He consistently got a hat trick in near every game — just a scoring machine. He would even fuck with us when we’d complement him. He’d be like, “guys, I’m like third string back home. I never get off the bench.”
I don’t know if that’s true or not, but he was phenom in north Georgia high school soccer in the early 90s. He not only scored on the pitch, that son of a bitch could pull the wool. you won’t believe this, but back in that day, girls had hair on their pussies. They also weren’t fucking sluts. So back then, seducing a girl was a big deal. And Hans was a sure enough ladies man. He was also witty as fuck. He really did have a sharp sense of humor.
I’ll tell you a little anecdote to prove it: at graduation, the exchange students would give a speech and thank the city, etc, etc. Hans told us the gag he was going to play on everyone so we on the inside would have a good laugh. At the end of his speech, he turned to the principal and said something like this
>dro hoat hallvetia. Denlav laburg denlavin I just butchered the phrase to hell, but it’s supposed to mean “fuck you, you faggot ass faggot.”
Only Swedish words I know are profanity thanks to Hans
Godspeed, Hans!
