"Suomalaiset ovat kiistatta intohimoista karaokekansaa. Karaokea on laulettu Suomessa jo yli 30 vuotta ja karaokehuuma ei näytä loppuvan." 

"Finnish are undeniably a passionate karaoke nation. Karaoke has been sung in Finland for over 30 years and the karaoke craze doesn't seem to be going away."

A.I. ChatGPT:

Finland has a fascinating relationship with karaoke, blending its cultural quirks with a deep love for singing. Here's a quick dive into the phenomenon:

1. Karaoke Culture in Finland

  • Popularity: Karaoke is incredibly popular in Finland, embraced by people of all ages. Bars and clubs across the country often host karaoke nights, and it's not uncommon for Finns to take the mic after a few drinks.
  • Finnish Style: Finnish karaoke often features melancholic and emotional songs, reflecting the country’s love for heartfelt ballads and its "sisu" (resilience) culture.
  • Favorite Genres: Popular karaoke choices include Finnish classics, schlager, rock, and even heavy metal—Finland is, after all, the land of metalheads!

2. Private Karaoke Booths

  • Unlike in many Asian countries where private karaoke booths dominate, Finnish karaoke is a social activity in open venues like pubs or public events, creating a communal experience.

3. Humor and Uninhibited Expression

  • Karaoke in Finland often serves as a social equalizer, where people shed their reserved demeanor. It’s not about being the best singer but about enjoying the moment and connecting with others.

4. The Finnish Championships

  • Karaoke has a competitive side in Finland! The country hosts karaoke championships, with enthusiastic participants vying for the title in national and international competitions.

5. Home Karaoke

  • Many Finns enjoy karaoke at home during parties or family gatherings. With streaming services and karaoke apps, it's become a common way to liven up social occasions.

6. Sauna and Karaoke?

  • In true Finnish fashion, combining karaoke with other cultural staples like sauna is not unheard of. Sauna bars or venues offering both experiences allow Finns to sing their hearts out and unwind.

7. Signature Songs

  • Finnish karaoke staples often include songs by legendary artists like:
    • Eppu Normaali ("Murheellisten laulujen maa")
    • J. Karjalainen ("Mies jolle ei koskaan tapahdu mitään")
    • Kari Tapio ("Olen suomalainen")
    • International hits like ABBA's "Dancing Queen" and Queen’s "Bohemian Rhapsody" also make frequent appearances.

WH40k Ork Mekboss & Mekwaaagh!

Mek-Bosses are the biggest and most powerful Meks, whose inventiveness helps them design machines of war beyond any other Mek or Big Mek, allowing them to rise to such a position of power has to lead their own Warband.


Ork warbosses sometimes have variant titles depending on their functional place in Ork kultur. The variation is usually based on the boss' favoured combat tactics.  Mekboss - Mekboy bosses are known as "mekbosses". https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Warboss#Variant_Titles

https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Mekboy

Mek Boss Orkimedes - Orkimedes is the mysterious Mekboss that serves the infamous Ork Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka and his Great WAAAGH!. Imperial scholars have been unable to identify this mysterious Ork technical genius whom they have dubbed "Orkimedes." Although he has not been identified, his handiwork has been reported many times during both Ork invasions of the Hive World of Armageddon. The combination of Orkimedes' technical innovations and Ghazghkull's visionary strategies have lent the Greenskins of the Great WAAAGH! an edge that those seeking to stop them have learnt to fear -- Tellyporta strikes. Many times, Ghazghkull has lured an enemy into attacking a seemingly vulnerable Ork warband, only to tellyport overwhelming numbers into the fray as the battle unfolds, turning the tide enormously in favour of the Greenkins. He is also responsible for creating heavily kustomised Gargants and Ork submersibles. As such, he is one of the most highly sought-out priority targets for assassination by the Imperium's Officio Assassinorum.


Buzzgob is a powerful and brilliant Ork Mek-Boss and the right-hand Ork of Warlord Garaghak.

Indeed, Buzzgob can be said to be the true genius and power behind Garaghak's operations in the Forsarr Sector, developing powerful weapons for the Warlord's forces in his own private manufacturing base on the world of Kastorel-Novem. Seeking to put an end to the threat Garaghak posed to the sector, the Imperium would send a strike force of Raven Guard Space Marines and Elysian Drop Troop Imperial Guard to kill Buzzgob and destroy his factories on Kastorel-Novem. In the end, however, the plan failed, and Buzzgob continues to develop ever-more devastating weaponry for Warboss Garaghak and continues to play his role in Waaagh! Garaghak. Buzzgob leads his own private army of Deff Dreads, Mega Dreads, Killa Kans, and Stompas known as Buzzgob's Dreadheads.

Da Meklord, Da Biggest Big Mek, was a Bad Moons Big Mek Warboss, who commanded the Tekwaaagh!.https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Da_Meklord

Waaagh! Variation:
Mekwaaagh! - Led by a Mekboss, they usually focus around looting entire worlds of their resources, technology, weapons, and anything else of value. Its armies often consist of large amount of Lootas and Deathskulls. In addition, its leading Meks will usually focus on testing out their latest destructive inventions. Mekwaaaghs! are defined by their heavy use of "dakka" (firepower) and esoteric technology.Notable Mekwaaaghs! has been observed on Ryza and in Waaagh! Planetsmasha.

"Finally, you may be wondering how the more independent Space Marine Chapters like the Blood Angels and Black Templars are going to work alongside the new Codex, and whether they’ll need to combine older rules with the new ones from the Codex. 

In short, they won’t. The Blood Angels, Black Templars, Dark Angels, Deathwatch, and Space Wolves will be getting updates to tide them over before their own Codexes release. We’ll be talking more about these next week, so make sure you come back for more Space Marines intel. "

keräilemäh Metsän kuningatar




"Metsän kuningatar
Käänteentekevä sarjakuvateos Kalevalan luomisesta ja väärinkäytöstä.

Ville Tietäväinen antaa uudessa kirjassaan kyytiä Elias Lönnrotille ja Kalevalaa keppihevosenaan hyödyntäneille suomalaisuuden rakennusmiehille.

Vienan Karjala, Elias Lönnrotin merkitsemätön tutkimusmatka 1830-luvun alussa: Lönnrot ja Moarie Karhu kohtaavat. Moarie laulaa sukunsa runot Lönnrotille, joka lupaa olla julkaisematta niitä.

Metsän kuningatar on halki vuosisatojen kulkeva, huimaava ja graafisesti upea sarjakuva. Se kertoo, miten Lönnrot, karelianistit, kansatieteilijät sekä sittemmin heimosoturit ja jatkosodan Suur-Suomi-intoilijat muokkasivat vienalaiset myytit nationalistisiin tarkoituksiinsa. 

Tiedemies Lönnrot etsi kansanrunoudesta Suomen muinaishistoriaa, mutta mikään tieto ei valmistanut häntä sivistyksen ja luonnon törmäykseen, eikä siihen, mitä hän Karhun suvun naiselta sai."


ehkä olisi kaivannu puhetavoissa eroa Lohjan murre vs Vienan karjalan kieli 

”Söpö o simmone et se syä kaikkii! Se on oikeen simmonen köyhän kissa sanotaa, kun kelpaa... Net pruukaa olla niin kinkei (= nirsoja) ettei net syäm mitän, tommost peruna, mut toi syä, toi halua oiken.” Vuodelta 1963 olevalla äänitteellä lohjalainen Matilda Öhman (s. 1889) kertoo kissanpennustaan Söpöstä, jolle maistuu muun muassa peruna.

...

Lohjan murteelle tyypillistä ovat myös i-äänteen säilyminen sellaisissa sanoissa kuin pikkuinen, syksyiset, oloisii. Ne eivät siis ole kirjakieltä, vaan sammattilainen Elias Lönnrot on nostanut kotimurteestaan nämä i:lliset muodot kirjakieleen! Länsi-Uudenmaan murteessa on myös tavallista, että eläimeen voidaan se-pronominin ohella viitata pronominilla hän. https://kotus.fi/sanakirjat/suomen-murteiden-sanakirja/murreaanitteita/puhetta-pitajista/
