Monday, February 11, 2008 Get F#$%@ I was super excited to see this morning's Get Fuzzy: The Vasa was a Swedish ship which was built for King Gustav II Adolf. It spent over 300 years in Stockholm Harbor before being salvaged in the early 1960s. The restored ship, remarkably intact due to the harbor's cold water, can be viewed at the Vasa Museum, one of Stockholm's most popular tourist attractions. However, even more so than the Vasa reference was the fact that Satchel is cursing in Swedish! Jävlar (pronounced something like yeah-vlar) literally means "devils," but you wouldn't want to use it in polite company. It's the kind of thing your dad would say if he accidentally hit his thumb with a hammer. How educational comic strips can be! posted by 125records @ 5:10 PM   0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home   About Me Name: Sue Home: San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States About Me: See my complete profile Previous Post If it's Sunday, it must be Belgium Flying slowly Not blogging is the new blogging Celebrity-spotting in Silicon Valley Copycats Sweding the movies The hills are still alive A novel idea The Best Film of 2007: "Juno" The Best Film of 2007: "The Savages" Archives Links Subscribe to RSS feed 125 Records Interbridge.com Blog archives, Jan. 2004-Oct. 2006 Search me!
