Ooo, I know what Haakkaa Paalle means! (I don’t know how to type the special “a”s)
It’s an old Finnish battle cry used during the 30 Years War. I know this because of an alternate history series of novels I read, about an entire town (geography and all) from year 2000 America being sent back in time to 1632 Germany. The townspeople join up with Gustavus Adulphus, the King of Sweden, to fend off attacks from the French and Spanish. He employs a large force of Finnish cavalry, who where know to chant “HACK THEM DOWN!” (in Finnish) as their battle cry.
This has been your daily dose of coredumperror’s Mildly Interesting Trivia. Come back tomorrow to learn about the Finnish Noseflute.
I have a feeling that Franky’s luck may have slightly improved. And,I mean SLIGHTLY. The odds of him surviving still aren’t good but they’ve gotten a little better. And,to coredumperror,thanks for that bit of trivia. I don’t think that me or anyone else would have known that,so thank you. That bit of knowledge was very helpful but I’m not sure I want to know a whole lot about the Finnish Noseflute.
Sisu’s face in the second panel… 😀
Just priceless! I laughed at this probably even harder than Sisu in this comic! xDDD
Ok, I was wrong in guessing that Sisu would spare Frankie’s life. But I mean, he could still be joking. After all, he has a dark sense of humour. Yes, Frankie’s chances of survival have slightly improved! ^^
Scratch that. Franky’s definitely dead. Unless he punches this guy in the balls with those horseshoes he has
