Hi, European, would you care to tell us the relationship between the True Finns and Finnish politics, and how it relates to Darude's Sandstorm? Is Timo Soini giving refugees salmiakki to keep them out?
Also, "perus" in the language of my people means "cocks". Are the True Finns cocks?

Ugh, I just do not get salmiakki. We've got loads of the stuff in our flat, my partner's mother insists on bringing it and schnapps every time she visits us. An extremely kind gesture, to be sure; very touching... but it's just piling up now, as I don't seem to have the taste for it and it isn't really a big hit when we have people over for dinner :(

Well, basically it goes like this:
- Sandstorm is awesome.
- True Finns are inbred hicks, who don't like anyone who aren't exactly like them. They especially don't like foreigners who come and take their jerbs, even though they're unemployed alcoholics. The proper translation for True Finns is actually Basic Finns, which I find far more descriptive.
- Refugees would probably think salmiakki is some kind of twisted torture method... which means Soini probably would give it to them.

Yes.

All True Finns are most certainly cocks. A relationship of some sort between True Finns and Finnish politics exists, yes. In fact, I hear there is a True Finn running for municipal council in Vaasa, and that must constitute as politics. He is even such a True Finn, that he grew a Hitler mustache to appear more True. I wouldn't be surprised if we see him in parliament in under ten years. He's just got that something about him that all rural Finns can see in themselves.
To me this almost makes him the Truest True Finn of them all.
This is again a very entertaining time in Finland, only second to the upcoming parliamentary election in 2019. We still watch interviews from the last election to pass time at work sometimes. When I was a kid and learned that theoretically anyone can run for the parliament, I never went back to my normal self. I have since remembered to make sure any new people I get to know are not the type that would some day be running for parliament.
What comes to salmiakki, my girlfriend basically moved here firstly for salmiakki, and only secondly me, so Timo's strategy might not be working as well as he thought. There's a huge fanbase for salmiakki in Denmark, but for some reason the Swedes don't like it. That is why we don't like the Swedes. My girlfriend's family visits Malmö from Copenhagen at least once a month to bring home a ton of salmiakki. I put little pieces of salmiakki in my quark very often, and have a wooden chest filled with this black gold at home.
Darude's Sandstorm is very Truly Finnish, and I am humbled that you know its origins. Here's more from the musically talented in Finland:

:stongue:
People who will be running for Parliament really are just the worst. I remember at the Conservative society at Oxford, all the ridiculous people who you could see from 20 metres away would be running someday, already trying to get one's future vote. One of those people will probably be PM some day =/

Wait, can't you get it in Copenhagen? I'm going to feel really bad if my girlfriend's mother is going from Copenhagen to Malmo to buy this stuff I'm not eating :(

I think you can get it in Copenhagen too, but as they buy a lot of things in bulk from Emporia in Malmö, it'll be a lot more salmiakki and chocolate than they would get in Copenhagen for the same price. They also seem to have a wider selection of Fazer and Panda products in Sweden than Denmark. No one buys Marabou. I recently learned that Danes also go to Germany and there buy Danish products from Danish storeowners for a lower price.
This all reminds of Finns traveling to Estonia to buy beer and hard liquor, and the recent changes in alcohol taxation in Estonia that will surely drive Finns to go as far as Latvia to buy all that booze in the near future. I'm all for what ever makes us Finns go abroad for even a day.
Lews
Okay, yeah, that makes sense, hah. I am not thinking straight this morning... I've also heard that about people going to Germany for Danish products.
