Hee. We're relativt odödlig. I don't know what it means, but I kind of like the sound of it.

Who reads Swedish?
Just squint your eyes a bit and twist your mouth a bit when you read the diacritics. You can read it.
I especially like:
Mer Buffista-guld. (More Buffista gold)
and
Buffistas är verkligen en guldgruva! (Buffistas truly are a treasure-trove)
I think that odödlig means cultured or sophisticated, but my Swedish is pretty limited and I don't have a dictionary here.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Sorry, haven't yet seen enough Ingrid Bergman movies.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Alas, my one exposure to the Swedes didn't involve all that much talking.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Alas?
I do not think this means what you think it means.

Oh man, that's so funny. How silly is it that I'm all, "Oh! I COMMed that one; the Swedes (yes, every last one of them) agree with me about what's funny!"
I can't make my mind form an opinion on shows, whitefont, and threads. Well, except that I don't mind the whitefont, whether it's for shows I follow or not. So far, anyway. I suspect I'll keep up with Lost and maybe watch Alias in real time come January. It would be nice to be able to discuss them (ETA: in a fashion that isn't constantly irritating; though, really, there's no way to account for that completely, is there? No.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The cool thing about my job is taht I can just AIM someone and say, "yo! translate!"
