Well unlike the average GH moderator I've already BEEN through College. Not many more brain cells left to kill.

In America we honor the fallen by killing the same amount of brain cells... you don't follow such customs in Europe?

I believe they do it every day so it's not quite so memorable.

ESPECIALLY in Finland. Those Fins can drink like you wouldn't believe.

As someone whose grandmother is Finnish, I can only concur, lol.

Not really any interesting ones, sorry. Mostly it's just drinking a lot, falling, breaking stuff, losing glasses in the cold Swedish forest at New Year's, and stuff like that. Not that extraordinary!
Did I mention she's 85 this year?

Worst thing is she thinks I drink too little. Or well, I guess it's worse she thinks my brother, who's still minor, drinks too little. Maybe. :dance:

A thread about Memorial Day turned into a discussion about drunk Finnish Grandmas.

I can practically hear the Mods grinding their teeth.

They need to relax IMO. This is the ****ing OFF TOPIC subforum!

Its no wonder though seeing as there's not much else to-do but drink during the cold and dark winters....which pretty much describes Minnesota as well.
Guess that's why my great grandparents chose MN when they moved to the US ;)

So do I need to tell drunk grandpa stories now to stay on-topic?

Those were jokes, not insults.

Seems to be a common misconception on this forum.

Hah, my comments are entirely appropriate. This is my way of having a happy Memorial Day weekend.

If you want to follow OCN rules, go post at OCN.
