Since he mentioned "Inside Scientology" I'm going to guess it's that. Supposed to be really good.

Hey, Scandinavians, make sure to check your friendly government genealogy database website to make sure you aren't related to your crush.

No wonder some of the world's most asshole confections come from this area of the world. Perfect to take your mind off the sad, depressing, suicidal notions that comes with the sudden realization that you are porking your third cousin.

I think you forgot a bunch more insults somewhere.

@ruthloose: Fuck you. That's only Iceland due to geographical isolation and despite being inbred they manage to be smarter than you. Guess your dad probably fucked his sister.

Ah, Kuon, I'll give you a piece of advice Patrick: When you get to the bit with the peephole, look through it twice in a row. The one time a horror game has "gotten" me.

@ruthloose: You do know that Iceland has nothing to do with Scandinavia right? Over 25 million people live in Scandinavia and a lot of them are immigrants. Besides, that argument doesn't even make sense... if you are depressed you would want good tasting candy. Different cultures, different tastes. I would rather have an open mind and try food from different countries instead of being so close-minded. Also, is there anything more depressing than candy and a burger from McDonalds?

She moved to the East coast, NY iirc, months ago. So you won't be seeing her anytime soon.

Lightening reaction needs to be on UPF or TNT or some random premium video with alcohol.

I own both volumes of Romance of the Three Kingdoms...I'm a fan of Dynasty Warriors.

But seriously, those books are boring as fuck, don't even waste time on them. ...Or do. Whatever!
