OTOH, they still ended up with the Finns ceding territory, because being a country of snow-ninja assassins was not enough when Stalin was happy to keep sending troops into that meatgrinder. <br /><br />In other news, life-lesson #62, which I would like to pass on to you young-uns, is this: Do not try to out-drink a Finn.

I knew the world was various in its manifestations, both sublime and icky (Georgia O'Keefe, vintage XTC, or David Brooks, eew), but never imagined food product in this way. <br /><br />Was it childhood trauma?
