28 I used to know a bunch of Finns in lantana Florida. They have a colony there. Cheap mothers but all of them had money and loved cars and women. One fella would buy used equipment and ship to Finland where he sold it at double what it cost him. It’s like a country with weird gangsters who love killing Russians. They act retarded but they are very shrewd folks. Can’t understand a word of their sing song language either, it’s like japanese.

Who's the new troll called " Rock Ribbed Republican" constantly going off about the 50s?

The only hacks that constantly go off about the 50s are leftists politicians or leftist TV talking heads building strawman arguments about what the people to the right of communists want....

I've never heard an actual conservative say anything close to what this poster describes...

Maybe leave the strawman building leftwing talking points to the professionals....

We once hosted a couple members of a Finnish choral group at our house. Weird dudes, both of them. Not creepy, just odd. They sang a version of the Swedish Chef's intro as part of their presentation. Hilarious, since they barely spoke English let alone fake Swede.

I mentioned earlier that Alaska usually has millions of acres on fire every summer, but not this year. It has rained nearly every day all summer, which is not normal but happens every few years. Maybe once a decade. So, I guess it's Canada's turn. That stuff needs to burn off once in a while to be healthy. You just happen to live in an area where they actively fight fires. I mostly do not.

So many friends to play with, most of those "kids" are still my friends and we still get together over lunch or dinner ever so often at one of the old watering holes and laugh about old times.

Eventually I would run out of Basgetti-O's and come home.

Always hated the first one because they made Jim Phelps (portrayed by Jon Voight) the villain and a traitor. Have never forgiven them for that ...

[From some interview found online:] When asked about it, Peter Graves felt that making the traitor be Phelps was a bad idea. "I am sorry that they chose to call him Phelps. They could have solved that very easily by either having me in a scene in the very beginning, or reading a telegram from me saying, hey boys, I'm retired, gone to Hawaii. Thank you, good-bye, you take over now," Graves said.

BTW, his character had become disillusioned with the IMF and so he'd become an arms dealer in revenge or something.

Ironically, that didn't work back then ... but today, becoming disillusioned with the Deep State? Yeah, it would have worked a lot better and he'd be a new anti-hero ...

Love so much about that movie, starting with the dreamlike cinematography - especially when the children are on the river. Lots of subtlety - note the difference in the lyrics used when Robert Mitchum and Lilian Gish are both singing "Leaning" - it makes a good duet, but is also a very deliberate window onto their characters and respective beliefs.
