Open the Can

Greetings,
 
My first post, and I thought I'd make it about the infamous can. As frequent listeners might know, there's a can of rotten fish in the Giant Bomb office... and it's just waiting to be opened. So, if you - like all the guys at the Fatshark studio, including myself - are looking forward to it being opened on the Bombcast - post here. 
 
Below Swe celeb Stefan Sauk, and he lovs the Surströmming. Just can't get enough. (I think he had a full head of hair before inhaling)
 

I say put it in the oven.

Surely if we want any future podcasts, they should not open the can!

Batter it up and throw it in the grease pit.

Gunnar? Gunnar Johansson? As in the Gunnar that took all the sweedish candy onto the bombcast when he was working for GRIN? Is that you?

And in relation to Matty's question, do you play Left 4 dead?!
I'm was playing once with 2 dudes who claimed to be from fatshark.

I agree!

They do need to open it, provide video evidence and entertain us through their dissatisfaction. The internet demands it.

I say the day before they move their office, they open it up. That would be awesome for whoever moves in next.  :P

They should open it with an air rifle, from 40 feet away. Oh wait... America. Open it with an actual rifle.

Yup. I messed up Jeff's taste buds for a short while with the hockey powder. And now I am shooting for the smell sensation with the Surströmming. "

Nope, not me. I tend to say I am from other studios, so if I suck it won't taint the good Fatshark name... "

Is there an episode of the bombcast where they explain and talk about the can of fish, and how they got it? I keep hearing it referenced by them randomly but I must have missed the episode where they go into detail about it.

" Awesome. Glad to see you're doing allright at Fatshark after GRIN's unfortunate demise.  "

Stab it with a screwdriver really fast and see what happens.

I'd do as the man says, he sounds swedish!

Let's see. Do I want the Giant Bomb offices to smell like death for forever? Hmm...

As a Swede, I recommend you not to open the box of surströmming. If my neighbour opens a can of surströmming, I can smell it. It's nasty.

Pick up that can!

There's gotta be a especial occassion to open it though.

DOOD!  IT'S GUNNAR! 
 
Personally, I don't give a shit if the can gets opened or not.  I just want Lead & Gold on my 360 already so I can stop playing anything else for the rest of my goddamn life!  lol 
 
If I did care about the can, I would want it to be something catastrophic...

Open the can, it must be done.

Take it outside and make Brad open it.

I have the right to say this, being Swedish and all. 
 
Giving anyone Surströmming is a cruel, cruel thing to do. But they should open it. I'm sure their reactions would be hilarious.

They're moving out of the office soon so that seems like the perfect opportunity to open it. Though I feel for the poor saps who move in next.

"Make a trip to the ComicVine office and open it.  "

Open it in somebody's car and hide it in the glove box or something. Then plant a hidden camera in there to get his reaction on his drive home. 

I'd love a quick look on how bad the smell is.

Put the can in a paint mixer.  That is all.

Got my new t-shirts for E3 today... and I was sooooo close to having one say "Open the Can", but the printer was out of "iron on material" if I wanted them in time for the show. 
Next time. They look freaking cool though.

open the can, be one with the fish!

" I say put it in the oven. "

They should do a bet like the one where Jeff had to end up drinking gin, but instead the loser has to take it home, open it up, and eat some. On video for proof.

ÖPPNA BURKEN

CONFIRMED

Yes!

Can't wait for it!

oh......SHIT

Surströmming: unboxing video confirmed???!??

" @Gunnar: We'll have to open this in the current office before we move. Leave behind a fishy stank. "

@Jeff: 
I also say, OPEN THE CAN. 
 
Jeff, this is totally why you hired the new guys to the office. Get Matt Bodega open that sucker up before you move and stay many yards away if possible. Don't make that mistake again with the Bulletstorm meat package.

Keep it in your inventory.  You never know when you might have to lure a cat or something.

As a Dane I've heard about this infamous surströmning and I say open it! 
  
I think it's dead rotting fish, so it can't smell to well.
