I stand corrected on the business in saunas issue; I must get one installed in the office, and better looking clients.

Does Loki know the Sex Cannon?

A great disappointment. Instead of the fey Loki from Walt Simonson, or even the craven trickster of Kirby-era “Thor,” we get a cross between Dale Gribble and Goldmember. Still, I credit the effort.

Yes, one can do business in a European sauna. In Sweden it’s usually conducted among beefy Nords slapping themselves with birch strips … but once in the French Alps, I sweated in mixed company with four Dutchmen and a pretty German designer named Anja. Everything in my life since has been crap.

Geez, I never knew ANY of the words to that song besides “Ahh-Ahhhhhhh” until this moment.

“As for business being conducted in a sauna, I haven�t seen it but it could happen. There is also the unfortunate fact that in europe women are allowed to run businesses so their presence is often required at business meetings.”

A business meeting in the sauna is more of a North Jersey type deal as I understand it. In those meetings, being fat, hairy, sociopathic, and Italian is more common than being female and/or Swedish.

@ Brian #15

No, most north and central europeans will happily sit naked in a sauna with members of the opposite sex and think nothing of it. My experiance is that men are as likely to be intimidated by being seen naked as women.

Dad Dammit Loki, you better fix this shit. You made Auburn turn the ball over 5 times to none against USF, you put Elways arm on some walk on at Stanford, you stole Dennis Dixon’s ACL, App State, Les Miles, Colorado beating Oklahoma. SOme of that shits funny, but now we have WVU and Missouri in the national title game. You better fix this shit this weekend or I’m gonna take Mjolner to your god grapes and you won’t be doing anything on the west coast but watching me bang all that tail.

Saving the asses of Al Groh and Karl Dorrell?!?

Oh Loki, you really know how to fuck me over.

On the other hand, Loki did not make Paris’s top fall off, which is the current ad being served to me on EDSBS. That happens way too often for it to be his handiwork.

What in the hell did you put in the “media.fastclick.net” space between the article and the comments? I clicked, thinking it was tangentially relevant youtube fare, but it turns out it’s some site that my employer sees appropriate to “log and review all attempts to access.”

Great. Now I have to explain how Loki and his adventures/conquests are relevant to leveraged finance.
