I thought the other end had hung up and, uh, used a very well-known Finnish curse word to air out my futile phone-searching feels, but hahah no, it had stopped ringing because I had accidentally answered the call.

The real kind of a four-letter-word call. I approve.

[Laufey]

When will you know if you got the job by the way?

Probably next week earliest. Not saying I have much hope for landing it now but hey, maybe they like workers... with... personality...

Pfft yes, although since it's Finnish we're talking I'm going to need a bit more than four.

Facepalm moment of the day: I just put two loads of laundry in the wash, and as the washers were already going, realized I forgot to use detergent. Go me.

This kinda drawer to put it in?

Put it in after the fact and, with the drawer still open, wash it down with a glass of water. There is no internal door or valve slammed shut to keep you from doing so. Just don't add as much water as to make things overflow.

Ohh shoot this reminds me I need to do laundry today... should probably go do that now...

It is that kind, yeah. Now if I'd only seen this before the wash cycle was already over...

Ha, this is my first time doing laundry here since I got here almost three weeks ago

Laufey: woops sorry, i type like a cavewoman
Laufey: just smashing my fists on the keyboard
Haiz: hah, I'm a unicorn that just pokes at the keys
Viola: I'm... an octopus I guess? flailing around doing everything at once
Haiz: and every tentacle is like a different language
Laufey: and you flop them at wrong places
Viola: yes
*Laufey and Viola turn to stare at Haiz*
Haiz: what
*staring intensifies*
Haiz: OK OK I'M ON IT

Umm... is there actually a reason why you guys started calling me a penguin at one point? Suits me well though, I admit. :Þ

At some point, I think there was a Haiz sketch of Majestic Accordion Penguin Troll Laufey.

Although Hulk Laufey definitely resonates. 
(Maybe because smashing keyboard?)

Majestic Accordion Penguin Troll: The Origins Story

Start there and it goes on for about 2-3 pages. Then Haiz followed up with a drawing, making it all the more real.

Hahahaha Je suis not sorry

[Laufey]

I think my exact wording was that I type "with both fists and lots of energy" but this definitely captures my typing style (and explains why I typo so much when I write).

In that case we need a beast typing showdown!

Haiz drew the thing > it entered forum canon. No surprise there.

ANYWAY
a thing has happened

sunflower kindly -  and prophetically - linked back to this in the meme thread:

One day I'll somehow get myself a Norwegian domain by the name Fimby just so I can link to fimby.no whenever it's needed...

You can do that (fimby.no) but it obviously doesn't lead anywhere. I'm slightly concerned about what you'd put on such a domain

Thanks for digging that up, because apparently there has been some development: The url fimby.no now leads to an actual ... site.

and, WELL,,,,

[viola]

and, WELL...

Hey... I wonder what happens when you click on the words at the top of the page... hmmm...

[eyjafjallajoke]

You mentioned typing. I was curious. I am bad at typing on a laptop, however:

*am still spamming the confetti button on that page*

Help! I need to get up in six hours but I cannot stop bringing the mace rain!

The combined powers of Haiz and Eriaror with Laufey and Vi in lead of the scheming department is a power to be feared!

It's a weird feeling being the one member for whom a special tool has been coded
