Goddamn, I haven't been in a sauna in years.
For those who don't know my life's story, my great-grandparents on my dad's side of the family were immigrants to Michigan from Finland in the early 1900's. In the house my dad was raised in, they didn't have any shower or bathroom other than the basement, which had a sauna and a toilet and a good size stock of firewood. Every single day until he died at 88 (two months short of 89), my grandfather would get scraps of paper from the trashcan and some wood and light that damn sauna every morning. Even after having a stroke, even after passing out and burning his leg down deep to the bone on the freshly-lit stove in the sauna, even though the length of his steps were literally down to about 8 inches each, he lit the thing every morning.
After he died in 1991, Grandma moved into an assisted living home and sold the house. I haven't been in a sauna since. My dad's church's parsonage in Ohio, which he rents, has a sauna in the basement that hasn't been touched in years. Hell, right now it's a storage room for some of my stuff. Do I smell a home improvement project coming on?

...right... You really gotta do better than that. (though it is somewhat funny with the 'since that's the best thing there you'd wanna go away and the place to go would be the airport... but still... gotta do a shitload better than that.
seriously, the nature?
though I think theres much more _
_ places in the world...

Definitely not your usual Eurovision Song Contest band...
It was actually mentioned in today's (Swedish) newspaper.

If you're talking about Wigwam, they were more glam rock. I remember they performed in a Finnish talk show afterwards and named Hanoi Rocks as an inspiration. But I think both Wigwam and Lordi remind me of The Darkness in their respective musical styles - very serious about what they do, and then again... not.
But I gotta tell you; Lordi is our
best
. Eurovision contestant.
ever

As much as it aches me to admit, Sweden has produced a huge amount of quality metal bands; Opeth, Meshuggah, Pain of Salvation, Andromeda, Edge of Sanity... the list goes on. Though Finland has Finntroll, so the game's even in my book
