The Danes bring their own food!
Actually, in the military, some cliques of pals went to Rovaniemi, I never had the pleasure, Idunno why, relaxed back at the base - but that town had quite a reputation! Or maybe our troops had the reputation over there, either way, we were warned to behave exceptionally well, because people there - even cops - would be almost fishing for an oportunity to kick Norwegian troops' asses

Then, I guess it's a northern arctic thing, because north-norwegian towns tend to have similar reputations. They get drunk, it's dark most of the year, they get their saami-machetes out, and all hell breaks loose

I have plenty of relatives in Rovaniemi and live not far away. I went to military in Sodankylä which is about 100 km to the north of Rovaniemi. FYI, Rovaniemi was pretty much razed to the ground in the end of WW 2 by the Germans when Finland broke off from the military pact with them, in the Lapland war. They are still discovering military stuff, mines, artillery shells etc. in Lapland from the war. A guy nearby was killed, he was a collector and seller of WW 2 military stuff and an artillery shell he had found accidentally exploded when he was tinkering with it. He died, his buddy lost his legs. WW 2 is in a way still claiming victims.

But anyway, you can go on a rowdy drinking binge in Rovaniemi, I doubt the cops or anyone there would mind. I know that some of the Norwegians in the far north come to Finland for a 'summer vacation because they don't supposedly have that many fully sunny days in a summer up there.

Edit. I'm actually kind of looking for a sami knife, those things are pretty cool.

They're awesome. Dunno the real name, we just call them "samekniv" here :D
I only ever got to know one saami guy, and that was in the military, real saami too, long-ass name (which I remember to this day, because of how awesome it was!) he was full of dissent as well, which amused the rest of us to no end, while got on the officer's nerves. Somehow, they never had the heart to formally punish him for anything, he defiantly grew a "saami-stache" against regulation, he would hide away and actually sleep, we would sometimes find him hidden under piles of equipment inside storage rooms and stuff, he also threw a sarge to the ground to dry-hump him, while the sarge screamed for us to fucking help him (we laughed), and whenever confronted (especially about his mustache) he would always insist that he was immune, and that they had to take it to the Saami Parliament (we have it here, dunno if there too, I know Sweden has an equivalent organ which cooperates with ours), he would also get extremely homo-bro-love with fellow troops, including chasing us around naked, insisting we touch his penis, repeating "it's only natural!", A REAL CHARACTER!

We would ask him a lot of stuff, typical saami cliches, and he would delight in confirming one after the other. About the regularity of stabbing, he claimed that stabbing was okay, because the knives being so off-rounded at the tip, they were unlikely to penetrate, instead just bounce against the ribs

Funny. Yea there were some characters in the military from my experience as well. Reindeer stew is something that I would be glad to offer to anyone who visits here. Tourists usually like it. the Sami are still very much involved in "reindeer husbandry" (that sounds pretty sketchy). Well, reindeer herding means the same thing.

Finnish version. With mashed potatoes and lingonberries and pickles.

Swedish version.

If you don't mind eating "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer", especially right before x-mas.

They're always so offended when we ask them how many reindeer they own, "That's like me asking you how much money you have in the bank!" no it's not, it's like asking me how many cows I own, zero, the most cows I've seen on a typical farm was maybe 20, now how many goddamn reindeer you got!? Those herds must have thousands, but it's not easy for an ordinary person to eye such great numbers, I see "lots", they could be 1000 or 10 000, I have no way of differentiating!
All of Norway will wonder forever, how many reindeers those people got >:I

I would have to skip that, for some reason I can't eat mashed potatoes, I wouldn't mind the Swedish version though.

You can freely choose the side dish. Mashed potatoes is pretty tradition over here. Never have reindeer as 'patties' or anything like that made of minced reindeer meat like it says in that article I posted, only 'bare' meat strips. Moose stew is even better.
 
Never had moose. A friend of mine hunts, and offers me moose steaks from time to time. I tell him hell yes, but then he just keeps forgetting to actually bring some along whenever we meet
 
If being a maniac that has enabled wantonmurder and it's probably gonna end up with the most escalated drug war since Escobar is "awesome" to you I guess...
 
Why ... why do you ... assume I was serious :/. Yu hurt ma feelinz!

I made it quite often clear that I disslike Trump. I say the guy is like a Trump on steroids. I was being sarcastic man!
 
I think theres an epidemic lack of sense of irony on this forum

Trouble discerning irony, lots of computer sitting, deep and intense interests, penchant for routines, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

To be fair sarcasm is often picked up via tone of voice vs just the words.

Yeah, but in Crni's defense, both Crni and Walp are long time oldies on the forum, I'm still a relative noob (noob-status lasts for years and years here), and even I know that Crni isn't a big fan of dictators - as well as unlikely to suddenly become one, out of the blue :V
