Today it begins......

Today is the day we all have been waiting for, its the day when the european championschip in football kickoff.
Its the greatest day of the year.
Its the day that starts a almost month long football spree with top notch matches everyday.
Its the day that all the brewers out in europe have been waiting for.
Its the day when thousands and thousand of people all over the world will call in sick or take out vacation.
Its the day that starts an almost month long agony for hundred of thousands of dedicated supporters all over the world.
Its the day when the sun shines.
Its the day when you will stay inside and watch football no matter how fine the weather is.
Its the day that start the struggle between nations.
Its the day when you will be thorn between hope and dissapointment.
Its the day when you will sitt infront of the TV and shou never surrender.
It is the day when we all will call for a classic "Em klapp klapp klapp, Em klapp klapp klapp"

Building traditions

Following Saint Devils entry yesterday, when he brought back some beautiful memories, I thought we'd make it a daily countdown to the Greece game to show a video of swedens former triumphs. First I was thinking about something from 2004 when sweden played really well. But that only brought memories of how we went out of that tournament.
So instead I will go with this magic moment when we were the ones to keep our cool and go though.

Enjoy!

Get your priorities straight...

In times like theese, with the Euro 08 tournament 'round the corner and the fever buiding in anticipation there are those that would claim to have better things to do than writing about swedens route to gold. Or embarressment. Whatever the case may be.

This person would claim that it is more important to write about a very poor friend who´s going to fight on a bicycle and ride around a lake all day (to end up where he started as well) than cheer Mother Svea on against the vile Spain.

So, therefor I was thinking that i must do something about this poor blogg. I felt it was my duty to take this blogg to a higher level, and put some serious stuff in to it.

Make your self comfortable, relax and enjoy this highlights. Remember that we can do it again, it´s almost the same players back in the old good days as it´s now! We are getting older, they are getting older. We are getting better, are they?

I am not naming any names, but SD I'm looking at you...

Bicycle-people like that only deserve one fate, as demonstrated in the picture below.
Who will do the deed is undecided, since every normal person is watching the game. We may have to hire a norweigan... Ole Gunnar Babyface may need some extra cash since he can no longer play football... Well...could he ever? ;)

You have been warned...

Congratulations!

Today we tip our hat and congratulate IA on his birthday. The official beer was drunk last friday (and what a outing that was. Judging by that night we should be closer to 14 than anything else...), but today is the day he officially took that step that pushed him closer to 50 than his birth.

And I think you'll all join me in telling him: It can, and will, only go downhill from here.

Cheers you drunken bastard!

No surrender!

Motivation

Just to get into the spirit of things to come, and to motivate my fellow drunks, I will post this here picture of Homer delivering the mantra of all barstool-rodeo riders.

so join me in saying:

To Alcohol!

Or as Demian sings so well:

To the devil a toast!

New leader in the Premier Fishing League 2008

The other day WillyBoy and TSO went on a spontanious fishing expedition to the coast.

The Mission: to extend TSO's lead in the spieces section of this years competition.

Here you can se WillyBoy arriving at the site where we would be fishing. We had another location marked out initially but reports came in that made us relocate to just outside Hjuvik. It started slow but soon enough the action was on!

Here is TSO with the first catch of the day, a scaryass crab of some kind that is a disturbingly close match to the evil critters in Cloverfield. Naturally we ran like little girls before collecting the curage to get upclose and personal with it before eventually throwing it back into the abyss.

The sea-gods was happy with that sacrifice and rewarded TSO with this fine Ballan Wrasse. About one kilo is a good weight for one of theese. This was followed by another smaller Wrasse. WillyBoy also caught a fish belonging to the cod-family around this time but alas - no photo of this. You will have to take our word for it.

Here is a proper cod though, taken by yours truly. Small for sure... but a cod all the same. And with them on the brink here on the west coast every encounter is fun.

I don't even know what this is... Some sort of sculpin probably. That's the fun thing about fishing along the bottom of the coast, you never know what to expect.

All good things come to an end though, but this expedition had proven to be a success. The Scabrous One have now caught six spieces of fish. And a weird crab to be used as a tiebreaker.

The list so far:

1. Perch
2. Barracuda
3. Blue Marlin
4. Ballan Wrasse
5. Cod
6. Some sort of Sculpin

For now I claim the nr1 spot!
