As a Vulcan....

doesn't Tuvok sound like a pompous ass? Worst nightmare, Cliff Claven and Tuvok talking together at a bar...and then Wesley suddenly saves them from an anomaly...

I am listening to Abba right now and it makes me think, why are Swedish people considered more sexually promiscuous than all other people? Is there something in the meatballs? Is it because they need to keep breaking those crappy IKEA (apparently on my computer "snarly" is an option for spellchecker on "crappy") beds and sofas? And what is the Swedish word for "crap"? For years I thought it was IKEA...(Editor's note: Apparently there is NO Swedish word for "crap"- just checked two internet translators...OK so I will MAKE IKEA mean crap!)

Now that I have made my lasting contribution to Scandinavian culture, (please no Monty Python Swedish moose jokes! OK, just one...insert your own HERE) I don't really mean to pick on the Swedes, I just have always had a theory they were trying to take over the world with hockey players (I love you, Daniel Alfredsson! My cat is even named after you.) and Volvos. Even Magnus Arvedson (a former Senator) couldn't shed light on the conspiracy for me (ask Mrs. Mattcaveman, I really did ask him if Sweden was trying to take over the world.)

Sweden has made the news recently for some bad things. Apparently there was a mini-riot at an exhibition match between the Swedish and Israeli tennis teams. I don't understand. Meatballs vs. Motza balls, what's not to like? Well, some Swedish Palestinians (and there's a mix I would never have believed existed until I read it in the Globe, I mean Ackmed Guntharsson....Gerta Omarsdottir...) had a problem with that. So the ikea hit the fan. Get back to your eight week government-run holidays already! I digress...

My son had a lot of ikea in his diaper tonight...

I am almost done getting ready for the game on Friday. I am stoked. I hope they are read for a good time, as there is still a whole bunch for them to discover. They should be able to find a lot of ikea in the adventure ahead.

(Would the adjectival form be ikeaey?)

Anyways, that's all for tonight. If life gives you crap, give them ikea instead.
