New Years Day Finnish Style

In case you didn't hear, the streak officially ended last night. But its New Year's Day, and we're looking forward not back. The future for this franchise is so bright I'm still trying to comprehend it. What better way for DeceptivelyQuick to usher in 2008 than with a shout out to Finland? Invaluable Finnish Consultant H.T. sent some updates and best wishes in the name of very odd pictures from Finland and a reminder that Scottie Pippen will be arriving there soon to play a few games, including one against our vaunted Finnagler, Petteri Koponen. We'll keep you posted on how that turns out.

This picture is from an elementary school, and poses an age-old question:



This one is an add from a Finnish magazing for some product meant to help you clean yourself. This one is just a particularly interesting man walking the streets of Kallio, Helsinki. I wouldn't call these not safe for work, but you would probably have a particularly difficult time at work if any coworkers saw them on your screen. Adjust accordingly.

Happy New Year.

The picture above is from a university student restaurant and I have no doubt that the particular translation was a prank. Täffä (http://www.taffa.fi/) is a company that is owned by an organization of students and that is serving dinners in Otaniemi university campus area.

So no elementary school in sight.
