Lord of the Rings was a big geek fest and during the Jenga-esque game I propably heard the largest concentration of playful cries of: "**** you," I've yet heard.

Yeah I was being totally playful... especially when you trapped my 3 point pillar. Totally playful.

Also add to the fact that Joonas is never happy. He laughs and is funny and **** but he only ever is content.
The only time I saw him happy was when he was sitting on a mountain top, with wet slopes slippery as soap on the ascend and descend, sitting before the mountain cross right next to a straight ****ing 40m drop I nearly stepped to close to lol. But I'm getting ahead of myself I'll talk more about this tomorrow.

Hmmm, maybe this is some sort of cultural difference, but I find that Joonas is not any more out of the ordinary than anyone else; He's a pretty normal guy. And that's not trying to praise him or offend him really.

Maybe there is something about him that scares people OVER THE INTERNET.

What if Elvin was female?
posted August 25, 2011 11:54 PM bonus applied by Shyranis on 02 Sep 2011.

One rainy october night I was thinking about buying a motorcycle. This lead into thinking about what to do with the motorcycle. Somewhere along the way visiting elvin came into mind. Then there was thinking and talking and renting a car for a bigger group came into discussion. This was deemed possible and it was digged deeper. It came to light that Germany and pretty much all of Continental Europe is a crappy place to rent a car. Thus it came to be that the car would be rented from Helsinki. Somewhere along the way to christmas one of the people dropped out due to some unexplained family holiday or something. This came to straighten the trip for quite some and also made renting a car from Finland a not so attracting choice. Plan was to drive with bike till Bonn and get a car from there. Now it came winter and unexpected need of car in my life arose and I bought one. Thus the plan realigned itself along the original lines of having a car right from the start. Spring passed like it usually does, causing a lot of harm. During summer I got this weird message on MSN: "So, I hear you're going on a road trip." I skipped past the "remember to kill the swine later"-phase quite fast and just nodded. It came to be that there were, again, four of us, adventurous travelers of the globe. D-day approached and things were ordered payed and messed with.

Then one monday morning, I woke up, drank some tea and jumped into my car around 5am to be where I wanted to be that day. I used some time to linger around with some fairly decent people in a not-so-fair city only to leave it later on my road to this manchester-like city where a weirdly dressed young man with a shifty look in his eyes welcomed me with a straight back. We proceeded to wander around and enjoy the delicacies offered. I wondered at the technology filled room I witnessed at his lair. I never knew one could have so many consoles and so few games, especially hotseat ones. At first I was afraid I had stumbled into the feared hikikomori's hideout. There were some (probably fake) awards (a little too) conveniently placed to lessen the effect. Gran Turismo managed to assure me that maybe he wasn't completely evil and intent on eating my soul but later I learned that didn't belong to him but rather his family member (left obscure to protect privacy) and my fears resurfaced.

Despite of all the doubts we managed to get on the road the next day and head for the ferry. Upon finding that the whole harbour had been relocated we made a nice little sidetrip to admire all the beautiful coal plants that had replaced it. We then proceeded to get onto the ferry. With only slight confrontations with the russian people we managed to get onto the ferry unscathed. Lots of cards were thrown around on the top of the ship before the wind turned too strong after which the Finnish archipelago floting in the sunset gathered most of our attention. Night fell and cold wind drove us inside to the lounge where an elusive beauty sang through the night. We continued to throw cards late into the night before I got tired of winning and we changed to Heroes 2. Needless to say it didn't help me get over my winning problem. I then proceeded to nerd the rest of the night by hacking into the ships network because I the open WLAN was killing me with it's fast speed. After some hours of streaming HD anime, youtube DLing too much and finding out that the whole network was banned from IRC I managed to overload the satellite link which made all browsing practically impossible so I took my leave from the inside and went to sleep out on the deck. My traveling companion had retired long ago to the conference room to sleep on the seats there. Later he enlightened me about it being a BAD idea.

After sleeping like a bear in winter in the comforting rumble of two diesel two-stroke engines I woke up to all the tourists talking too loudly and admiring the day on the deck. It was a warm sunrise. I breakfasted and soon my sleep deprived partner appeared looking like he really was a social recluse. I offered him some breakfast and we spent more time by playing cards and reading. I also tought him a few different solitaires including the infamous clockface solitaire which would mock him during our trip for some time to come. For those of you who aren't familiar with this game it requires absolutely zero skill and is completely dependant on luck. In few hundred games he played, I think three times did he get one card away from winning the game. All of those times he displayed the most basic Finnish behaviour that finally redeemed him as a living person with a soul. I also suggested that we would have phoned another person coming to the trip to ask if he was dead yet. In the end we didn't and looking back at it now it was a bad choice. The humour of the situation would have been overflowing on our end as we later came to know. As the masses of land called Germany finally got closer to us we slowly eroded ourselves from our seats and migrated to the cardeck among the other sheep. Finally making it to the soil of Continental Europe (which is dark like lucifer's ass at night) we plotted a course to the nearest petrol station in hopes of cheaper gas. We came to find out the German highway petrol is highly overpriced. After slight pussying out by the still in training fluent in German partner of mine and the consequent brooding over it I started breaking down his self defense systems with high speed driving combined with great music. Around this time my partner also contacted the devil's advocate of our trip who planted a thought about me falling asleep followed by our horrible death into his little mind. A few hours of driving went by with casual word here and there with my (now) overworried partner. I was cruising normally like nothing when I noticed the battery light glowing and thought "That isn't supposed to be doing that." I then noticed the brake system light glowing too, which it has a tendency to do during the winter anyways so I didn't pay it much attention. I then proceeded to check out other systems possibly connected to this and I noticed that the power steering had gone dead too. This directed my thoughts towards the front belts and we pulled over at the next station to check things out. I found out I was right and called it a night. "All things are best started not in the middle of the dark."

After a pleasant sleep in the car morning sun lightly flickered at our eyelids and woke us up. Breakfast was enjoyed and the fault was diagnosed to be simple to repair but annoyingly some parts were damaged and would have to be replaced. Thus we were forced to find a car repairshop dealing with Subarus(which proved itself quite the problem). Apparently Subaru "ist ganz schlectes in Deutschland" so it took some time but after discussing it with the service station staff (osm is nothing compared to Germans discussing about best routes) we found one that was acceptable distance and along easy roads. I had a discussion with the most pleasant repairshop repairman about plans and after disabling most of the fancy modern day gimmicks not needed for driving like, air conditioning, power steering, actuator, stereos, lights and blinkers and we got on the road not knowing if the battery would last long enough to make it to the repairshop. After a good workout we arrived in a small town called, Syke, in the middle of nowhere, which in Germany means not currently inside a city. After a more thorough diagnosis it was deemed that the car would be okay tomorrow and we would need a hotel for one night. The owner borrowed his Impreza for us with no extra cost and we got to experience the horror of pre 00's non-american automatic gearboxes. We spent the night by showering, sleeping and eating kebab. Or I did. My partner played clokface solitaire.

We explored Syke and enjoyed breakfast at the hotel while listening to the demeaning remarks of the other guests, except the old lady, she was very lovely. Apparently she was the only one that didn't think we were incapable of understanding German. Maybe being the only I spoke in German influenced that. We exchanged cars again and thanked the good natured repairshop people before blazing off to cover the distance we should have covered yesterday. After finding out that my car's redline is around 250 km/h and my traveling companion's around 220 km/h we quickly arrived in Bonn. But because making things like every logical nation would is too boring for the Germans they figured they should make a street teleport halfway it took us some more time than expected to find our last two companions of the trip. We saw through their devious plans though and finally managed to join forces with our courageous(stupid but courageous) belgian friend and the (almost) local brasilianishish servant of devil. Bread, fun and games with chatter included and we learned that we really should have made that one phonecall to ask if our companion was dead yet. In his words: "I know Jonas is laughing at me now." Qoincidentally even our timin would have matched to the hour. Oh and apprently Europeans are incapable of producing double vowels. It's inconceivable to them. Late at night after getting slaughtered in an almost fair LOTR and having endured the biggest amount of screwing up a jenga game that was humanly possible by me the group curled up for sleep.

Next day we did some route planning and after some preparations we departed for south. We learned with my little german friend that arquing with females is pointless, especially if they are machines. We drove pretty much all of the day left and after everyone had complained about the loudness of my car they were all sleeping soundly. Night came to town and we stated thinking about a place to sleep but found that the German bikers had filled everything except the capitalist housings so we went to have good food and play cards at a chinese restaurant. Which we found out had actually closed during the time we were there. Afterwards we proceeded to sneakily sleep in the yard of one hostel in the car(of course I told them it was going to be  horrible with four people but they didn't care). A lovely local choir of drunken Germans humoured us during the night, as did some weird whirlpool that had taken residence at our backseat.

After a night of some sleep(for me at least, I don't think the others slept a wink) we headed over to the Rheinfall. There was water falling down near some rocks and a castle. Also some turkish gruop trip or something like that. Sadly we had a promise to keep about not slaying any dragons so we didn't invade the castle. We did consider about catching the sleeping fishes from under the bridge by tying one of the less important members to my car's start cables and lowering him to get some breakfast. We assumed that it would be unnecessary in a civilised town. We couldn't have been more wrong. Sacrifing the wellbeing of one of our own would have been more than profitable if it just would have saved us the time and money of finding a breakfast in Switzerland. After enjoying breakfast and good tea we took off from that god forsaken cheaters' valley and headed for the Bodensee ferry. While there was some gayish atmosphere going on between the others I was wondering what was causing all the radiation to turn the lake all green. Maybe Germany isn't that much wrong in closing their nuclear plants, after all, if our lakes would turn green I'd consider it too. We managed to get across the green lake and headed towards München which didn't take long. There we robbed a room of some unknown person and listened to more Warhammer 40k nerd talk than I knew was possible. Most importantly, we got to SHOWER. Also watched Alien: The eight passenger, one of the great movies of our time which Azagal didn't seem to appreciate much. I quess too little little girls and people shouting out their techniques.

After sleeping quite well, (the rug on the floor was quite comfortable) we gathered some breads and savoured their flavours before heading to the Spitzingsee. This was also the point of the trip where the german wonderboy thought he was brave enough to try and learn how to drive a real car. He wasn't that bad at it. Except he needs to stop raping the clutch so hard. We then proceeded to take a little walk on top of the mountains. There were some good views, also, cows. And I think there was one person in our group who did something completely out of character by taking a walk like that. Thumbs up for him. You've started on the road to manhood now. It's little things like this that make it. There was some disorder in the group during the ascend, especially about the routes I wanted to take but in the end they all followed and apparently survived too. There was also an intelligent discussion about religion between our boyscout and an ordinarily intelligent cow. It ended in a position where the other side didn't listen to anything that was said but just repeated the same thing over and over. So it was just like any OSM discussion. After sufficient nutrition on the top we walked down back to the car and admired the great skiing possibilities along the way. It was also wondered that why would anyone, ever, make asphalt kilometers up on a road with three houses. We also saw rather many cars on the road considering it was closed from traffic. We reached the car no problem and then we set on our journey back. I drove this time and after some womanly screams of horror from the seat beside me I slowed down some. I was within the limit from the beginning btw. it seems Germans only drive fast when the road is straight. Made me wonder if I was in the right place afterall. This was supposed to be Germany, the land of motorsports after all, yet people couldn't drive during rain or along twisty roads (not to mention both). I was disappointed. We got back into München no problem and spent another night trying to contact our esteemed moderator of the area.

After another good night on the comfortable carpet we woke up to find out our efforts had not been completely in vain. We had managed to contact the (so far) elusive moderator. Quickly we established a rally point to gather and after some breakfast, showers and stuff we headed for the meeting. We wanted to buy something as a thank you but after searching through few stores we found Germany's choice of sold wines and alcoholics to be lacking so we went with the plan B. Upon sighting a promising spot for moderator baiting we set up camp and pretented not to know anyone even slightly looking our way. With one man covering our back it was a solid plan and we, indeed, did catch ourselves an unsuspecting moderator. Exchange of information was swift and heartful after which we allowed women to service us while we engaged in deeper and more meaningful topics. Like how to bag zealots or how to make certain members betterat heroes 3. After failing plan B too, we gave up and just went to check out what kind of rides moderators get, needless to say, we weren't impressed. After all, only AMG C530, Shelby GT, Porsche GT 2 for the track and some other rather common vehicles were available. We did note that it wasn't without merit as there was also a priceless classic better left unmentioned to protect the specimen. Our ability to fit into an impreza was also questioned but it was quickly proven to be well trained maneuver that placed us all in our respective places in the car. We then proceeded to roar out of there and onwards to *drumroll* Marburg! Yes, it's a place. No it doesn't have anything. It did have monsanto and a really good kebab shop with excellent fries and burgers. Risk from the 70s was also found to be more inbalanced than vanilla H5.

Morning was suffered. There were talks of resting more but hostel owners thought otherwise which lead to a hastened start towards Bonn. After one day of rest after his valious efforts to be a real man our travel agent felt strong enough to take the beast at the horns again and we saw some more traveling without me doing all the work. A few burned clutches later we arrived safely at our destination. While there we found out that the boy scout's bike was a complete wreck. It had half empty tires mounted the wrong way and the brakes were worse than in american cars. We proceeded to correct this (or laugh at the one repairing his bike like one dick did). There was a lof of manliness points to be earned with do it yourself and as a result there was immense growth in one person. We proceeded to nutrition ourselves after the affair in italian style. Food was deemed good and plenty but it was later strenghtened by pancakes. Another world was conquered but the only pictures are not with me. This version was found to be closer to H5 ToE balance, right down to the cruciating first strike. One does not conquer world in a day is not as impossible as you might think. The combination of games and food wore us out and it was deemed that we would find oblivion.

This was a day of farewells and boring duties, nothing of interest really. Just driving.

Day of embarkment and annoyment at german's small shoes. I hacked the ship network again, I also overloaded it again.

A day on the ship, GOD, it can be BORING. Good thing we had precautions, there was a collection of manly movies to kill time. Cards and downloaded comics from yesterday helped too.

Compared to the ferry south this was a fast trip due to two nights but the superfast isn't quite so fast. We arrived early morning and parted ways, I continued to spend some time with another companion nearby and our brave warrior went north.

I set on my last drive on the trip. To be at home a little over noon.
