Hello friends. It's high time we came to learn about our fellow Massassians and celebrate their culture! In today's installment, we examine the great nation of Finland.


Finland is an island nation located approximately somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. First colonized in the year 500 by Viking explorers, it has come to be the greatest of the nations ending in the word 'land', edging out Iceland, Greenland, and the mythical Vinland.

FUN FACT: Finland has the best public education system in the world.

Finland is home to two very special Massassians, krokodile and Fastgamerr, both of whom have proven themselves to be upstanding gentlefinns time and again. Well done fellows, you are both true ambassadors of Finnishmen everywhere.


Here is kroko giving us the international sign of feelin' fine. A-OK my Finnish friend!


Here is an artist's rendering of a question mark, which represents the fgr's mysterious nature and the fact that nobody knows what he actually looks like.

FUN FACT: In Finland, the duck is the domestic animal of choice.

Although Finland is largely a peace-loving nation they have been embroiled in a 'cold war' of sorts against Switzerland since the late fifties. Lead for years by fearless president Tarja Halonen the Finns have a "Finn Curtain" over all things Finnish as regards the Swiss. We can only hope that one day the various covert actions and proxy wars will cease, and Finn and Swiss will walk hand-in-hand towards a better tomorrow.

DID YOU KNOW?: In Finland, ice hockey is played with a ball instead of a puck.

Finland's flag is a simple yet elegant design of white and blue. The white represents snow, which is Finland's chief export (this makes up the largest portion of Finland's GDP). The blue cross is a reference to the long-forgotten crazy viking religion once practiced by Finlanders.


The flag of a great nation. Hail Finland!

That concludes our international education for today. I hope you learned something valuable about Finland, and I further hope that our Finland Massassians will check in to answer any and all questions you might have on topics such as but not limited to:

• What kind of snow is the most expensive?
• What does Helsinki mean?
• How is you pet duck today?

Finally, I ask us all to rise for a moment and observe the national anthem of Finland, or as the Finns call it, Suomi Suomi.

Thanks for you post Michael, but I think you forgot to write anything. Did you have a question for Finland?

FINLAND!

Michael McLongname also forgot to post an image that actually worked.

To any Finlish folk: Why do you call yourself Finnish and not Finlish? People in England are English, and you are not finishing anything through a typo, no?

FGR: Do you not show your image because you are, in fact, a spy for your cold war against the Swiss and don't wish your identity to be revealed to them?

Kroko: Are you concerned that Tracer may be obsessed with you and move to Finland in the next month and whisper sweet nothings in your ear as you're sleeping?

I can't wait for Tracer's installment on CA-NAH-DI-YA!

No, that was more of a live news update.

Edit: Oh, that picture didn't work? How about now?

1) I'm afraid I don't have an answer to that! I've always liked the Swedish word FINLÄNDARE, though.

2) I've always been taught that the enemy comes from the east. But this explains all the Toblerone bars, lederhosen and RICOLA BOMBS I've had thrown inside my house from time to time. Hm!

However, if my grand opus DEUS EX NIHILUM will be finished and released according to my original and proper vision (i.e. the Deus Ex Nihilum Continuity Bible of January 2011)on January 1st 2013 (or slightly afterwards, depending on the results of this poll), I'm going to post my picture.

Actually, that was a bit of a lie. I'm going to PUT my picture inside DEUS EX NIHILUM and YOU'LL HAVE TO PLAY IT TO FIND IT OUT.

Don't forget to listen to the snazzy theme tune while you're waiting! STAY SHARP, STAY ... S-HARP. .. ... .... Hmm, that didn't quite work out.

Also, if you come to Finland, watch out for the lolar bears.

The national bird of Finland is the whooping swan.

Im German Descent and Im residing in a town in the USA that was settled by the Swiss.

First pass, read that as "emotional bird" and knew something was wrong because the emotional bird of finland is kr0k.

Also, Finland is just 'retarded talk' for Sinland, amirite?

This thread needs a photo of the king of Finland:

Funny, I just saw this video of an apparent Finn today:

I'm a fan of this Finn:

The general scientific consensus on Fins is that they're weird.

I really want a Finnish Mosin or 3.

I seem to recall that mister Cave Demon is also from the land of fins.

He got owned.

Let's see...

Northern Chaos Dragon (NorthChaos)
Cave_Demon (Cavey)
Daeron the Nerfherder
Morpheus
Krokodile (Kroko)
Nikumubeki (FGR)
Skyfighter

At least all of those were more or less active during Massassi's history. Others that weren't that active on the forums/chat or were mostly focused on releasing and commenting levels include:

Krotti
kuningas
RetroX
Heikki Lainela
MaaZeus

If I remember correctly, that is.

So, uh

I just found a picture of FGR!



(Just google 'crazy Finnish')

Also: In Finland, there is no word for weird.

Eh, Lady Gaga copied my hairstyle first.

lol finland

All hail Finland!

Guys, I'm just going to come out and say what I know everyone is thinking.

Finland sucks. It's cold and miserable, and it's full of ****ing snow jockeys. Those people are awful. They always smell like smoked caribou, it's disgusting.

Sorry to be the one to piss on your thread, Tracer, but someone had to say it.

Michael MacFurious

Wow, Massassi seems to be very popular in Finland. Do you guys ever get together and have a Finland convention?

Michael McCurious, more like it.

More like Michael McSerious

<3 Ming Ming

god. now i'm going to have The WonderPets song stuck in my head all day. **** you saberopus.

I know, right? :-I

Isn't finland in like russia or something

I love it when I get on Massassi and I see "Alan" listed as the most recent poster for every single thread and I know I'm in for a series of flippant remarks that probably made him say 'heh' to himself after he typed them.

You only say that because you prefer your native Kenya.

No worries, McDiet, Kenya is cool

Is this image promoting interracial homosexual marriage?

Only in the best possible way.
