Happy Gustavus Adolphus Day!

Fri Nov 6, 2009, 6:13 AM
Or something to that effect. It's more of a memorial day see, as it commemorates the day one of Sweden's most bad-ass kings went and died.

To long time watchers, it comes as no surprise that my favorite Swedish king through history is Gustavus Adolphus, in Sweden known as Gustav II Adolf. He's famous for many things: the foundation of Gothenburg, the creation of the "modern" army and warfare, being a bad-ass on par with Chuck Norris and one kick-arse mustache/beard. He's also had the most awesome nickname, ever: The Lion of the North. Or in German: Der Löwe von Mitternacht.
Yeah, he's the inspirational source behind my OC Gustaf Mitternacht.

If you read the Wiki article, you will by now know why he died (he got lost in the fog) and that he was a fatass. But not pussy fatass like Hermann Göring. No no. Gustavus Adolphus was a hearty and manly kind of fatass. He was a courageous man, a man not averse to downing a few beers and then go out and put down elk, wild boar, Germans and women. Not necessarily in that order.

So: Have a Happy Gustavus Adolphus Day! :iconcrownplz::iconcrownplz::iconcrownplz:

On an unrelated note: I've gotten a new cell phone. Also, the report is now sent in and awaiting approval from my professor.

Also, today marks the day when Hitler tried his Bier-hall Putsch in Munich in 1923. :iconfailplz:

I blame the fish- people!

Tea! That's all I needed! Good cup of tea! Super-heated infusion of free-radicals and tannins, just the thing for healing the synapses. Now, first things first. Be honest. How do I look?
