Incredible!!! Listening at the radio broadcast, the hockey rink went absolutely wild after the goal.
Now, let’s take the home game advantage away in the next game!

2nd game in the finals series.
HPK, the opposing team, scores a goal to take a one-goal lead at 1:10 to go in the final period. Game is done.
Not so quick! Ässät comes back and scores a goal to tie the game at 4 – 4 at 34 seconds to go in the game.
FUCKING AYE!
The game is going into overtime right now.
Let’s go Ässät!!! Let’s go Ässät!!! Let’s go Ässät!!!

A great collection of Finnish jokes along the same line as the following:
Mika and Peppe hadn’t seen each other for ages, so they decided to get together for “one” beer. At the end of the first pint Peppe says “How have you been?” Mika just grunts in reply.
At the end of the second pint Peppe asks “So how’s your family?” Again, Mika just grunts in reply.
After three pints Peppe asks “How’s work going?” Mika suddenly stands up and shouts
“Perkele! Did we come here to talk or drink?!”

My hometown hockey team is kicking ass for the first time in years!
The first semi-final game was against the defending champions at their home arena, and the visiting team, the allmighty Porin Ässät won 3 – 1!!!!
Two more wins and Ässät are in the finals!

Check out this awesome Virtual Air Guitar project that enhances the art of air guitaring by having a computer analyze the air guitaring in real time to add riffs and licks fed into a speaker system. Your air guitaring has never sounded so good!
The Air Guitar World Championships are held in Oulu, Finland every year.
Party on Wayne!

Rosa Merilainen, a Finnish Member of Parliament, maintains a blog she updates every week.
She was recently involved with voting for a new copyright law in Finland, one which was opposed by 98% of Finnish citizens, but promoted heavily by the entertainment industry lobbyists. The bill caused an unprecedented uproar in Finland before it was passed, and the controversy has not lessened since. Ms. Merilainen was one of the many MPs who voted for the law, and has been critized severely by her constituents ever since.
The entry for week 45 on her blog has an interesting confessional from Ms. Merilainen. While having a rather unsuccessful attempt of doing any work during Thursday of that week, she was nevertheless in a happy mood, because she was heading to the Christmas season opening event of Gramex. Gramex is an organization protecting the interests of performing artists and publishers and also collects copyright related renumerations in behalf of them.
Turns out Ms. Merilainen was looking forward to the event, because she had had such a rough time with the new copyright law, she was trolling for praise from the “wonderful men” (her words) of Gramex.
It’s good to know Ms. Merilainen is working hard to please her constituents, or at least 2% of them.
